That's one interpretation/explanation.  The other one is that Jesus, apocalyptic believer that he was, believed that the end times were coming very soon - before, as he said, all of his disciples died.  Jews didn't believe that you went to heaven when you died, so the "Kingdom of God" was literally a kingdom on earth and when God return, the earth would be returned to how it was before Adam ate the apple.

No thats been the consensus among believers. Your made up theory cannot be true because Jesus knows when the end times will be and we know they havent happened yet, so why would anyone think Jesus meant it would be back then?
And yes the jews did believe in heaven and hell, those arent new concepts.

Yes some jews let their own hearts interpret God's word and so thought his kingdom was an earthly one. But Jesus made clear that it was not, and christians have never thought as such.

Christs death and resurrection made all of us, in God's eyes, as we would have been in the garden, before Adam ate the apple.

Quote from: Solar on July 21, 2021, 04:45:12 PMSo what? Like I said, this is about God and Church, and not any one particular religion.
You were the one who inserted Christianity, completely derailing the purpose of the thread!

I'm pretty sure you're agnostic at best, so I suggest you stay the fuck out of this forum and eave it to people of faith!

I inserted Christianity? Where?

Quote from: p1tchblack on July 20, 2021, 03:39:31 PMWell, we all make assumptions about what Jesus said, what he meant and if what is attributes to him was something he actually said.

Really? "All" of us? Make "assumptions"? So, in your warped opinion, there isn't anyone who reads or studies scripture to find out what God said, they just "assume" what He said based upon their own understanding, bias and opinion? Gee, why do you bother to read scripture at all? After all you can just "assume" that you know what God said and what He meant?

The Bible has been a topic of interest of mine for awhile, but the "powers that be"  have ready suspended me for taking a thread off topic, so......

Quote from: RV on July 20, 2021, 02:34:14 PMAh so, in your opinion it makes no difference what Jesus actually said, what He actually meant nor what He was actually thinking, it only matters what you THINK it "implies" or means...

I'm quoting Jesus words from the Bible and he seems to directly imply that the "Kingdom of God" (Jews didn't believe man went to heaven) was coming before some portion of his disciples died.  That would seem to give us some idea of when The End would be coming.

Interesting my bible study group was just talking about this.  Since Jesus was with God at the beginning then Jesus is in "every word" of the Bible- not just the red letter ones.

IN YOUR OPINION, IN YOUR VIEW AND FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. I do not agree with you supposition, assumptions nor opinions.

It only SEEMS that way to those who have a bias and are prejudiced against God. In reality it said no such thing.

What Jesus is talking about by his 'Kingdom' here is the church on earth. God church on earth has not stopped growing since it was created by Jesus, look at history. Now today it is the fastest growing religion on earth and will soon be the dominant one across the globe.

Right. The idea is that God is 3-in-1. The Holy Trinity. All 3 are 100% both separate and 100% together.
This is one of the things in the bible humans are incapable of imagining, along with God having no beginning, its just beyond our experience.
