How to understand the following scripture?

[Guest Bazz50]

It's not what I want it’s what God's word says......Jesus said it is the Father's pleasure to give us the kingdom.

Luke 12:31-32 (ASV)

³¹ Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.

³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Jesus even told His disciples that they would each be a king over the 12 tribes of Israel.

Matthew 19:28 (ASV)

²⁸ And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

What I'm telling you all is the gospel......it is what Jesus preached via the parables that He told the masses.

Well, that is a new twist. I never knew God was going to give up His place in heaven and hand it over to us. Show me one place where He does not rule of all He created?

I did not say God will not rule over His creation but I was showing you all that God is sharing what He owns with us......we will rule with Him.....the kingdom of God will be ours just as much as it is God's.

We are co-heirs with Christ. So what He owns will be ours as well.

Romans 8:17 (ASV)

¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

The question is do you believe what Jesus said? Its very important to believe what Jesus said and not just believe in Him. Why? Because Jesus said many would believe in Him in vain because what they believe did not come from Him but from men's tradition.

Matthew 24:5 (HCSB)

⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.

Matthew 15:9 (KJV)

⁹ But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

So don't assume that what you believe is what the Bible says.....believe the Bible over what you might have been taught in Church. And by the way, it is God who will come and live on the Earth with man and not man going to Heaven and live with Him.

Revelation 21:1-4 (KJV)

¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Or where will you fit in, in the greater scheme of things?

God will give each one of His sons or daughters authority over Nations or Cities based on how much they used the gift or gifts that He has given them. Remember the parables that Jesus told the people about the rich man or land owner that gave gifts/money to his servants and would return? Our reward wll be according to how well we did with what God has given us.....He will give us more so that we can do more good in the world.

What is the Kingdom of God? - The Kingdom of God, is the Holy Spirit, if we are born of the Spirit of God, then we are children of God.

If we are children of God, we are Gods because just as the Father is, such is the Son.

God created the universe that has no limits, as human beings, we can not even leave our solar system, because the flesh is useless.

Therefore, we must stop being flesh and become Spirit

As children of God we are Spirit, because God is Spirit

Then, we can love God in spirit and in truth

The sky is the entire universe, as beings of flesh and bones, we can not go it - but being Spirit as our heavenly father, nothing can stop us.

But most importantly, we love because God is love.

We are co-heirs with Christ. So what He owns will be ours as well.

⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Everything that has ever been alluded to about being heirs pertained to this world. Nothing has ever been said about moving onto the universe. I do believe what scripture tells me, I just don't add to it.

The kingdom of God is the government of God that rules over His creation and God has eternally decided that He will use man as His representative in His kingdom. God wants man to be so at one with Him that seeing man is the same as seeing God. We will not become spirit but we will have a spiritual body just like the body Jesus now has.

The scripture does not say that our inheritance is limited to the Earth it says we are joint heirs with Christ. So in that light let me ask you this.....does Jesus own the universe or is that outside of His authority?

Hey Bazz, are you Mormon by chance?

Gary

[Guest Bazz50]

No gdemoss, I am not a Mormon and never was nor plan to be. I tried reading the book of the Mormon some years ago but I did not get far into it because I saw a part in it that contradicted the Bible. I burnt the book.

In heaven, everything is done or not, it is only for love, God's kingdom is the kingdom of love.

In heaven there is not governed by laws because it is the kingdom of love

Having a spiritual body is the same as being Spirit

To be like God is , is to be Spirit

You, Jehovah's Witness?

I don't know what you mean by government by law.....government is government plain and simple. A government can be corrupt but it is still a government nevertheless. God's government is a just, perfect and righteous. It is a government because God keeps all of creation including the universe in existence and working as it should…..He sustains all that exist including the angels.

Having a spiritual body is the same as being Spirit

To be like God is , is to be Spirit

Nope! We don't have to be spirit to be like God and the Bible does not support what you are saying.

You, Jehovah's Witness?

No.
