The kingdom of God is a fictional place, in tense I suppose heaven.

The only way hypothetically one would get there, would to accept jesus christ as your personal savior, then die..... for the jist of it.

Lol, funny post though.

I'd say it is a real place, but a mental one; it is all around us if we make it so. I'm not a religious person though.

i would suppose, that if i were creating a religion i would be straightforward enough about this stuff there wouldnt be any question. thats just me though. i cant compete to illiterate nomadic tribes thousands of years ago

Very good question. A star and flag for you. I dont have an answer for you, but I have been wondering the same thing for many years.

well according to Christ, the kingdom of god is within you.


Wasn't that the gospel?


Not any other attachments that have been added over the years, such as the whole of the salvation plan, revelations, etc etc etc


Simply... the gospel says... "The kingdom of god is within you."


Why did we need to add anything more to it than that?

Luke 17
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


It's not all that hard to see, and I'm not even a "christian" lol

sounds a bit hallmark but if you love everyone and treat everyone as if they were your family, you are in the kingdom of god. if everyone does it, that means the kingdom of god is on earth.

probably excludes most christians from the kingdom of god, but there you have it.

The Kingdom of God is right behind you...

if for a moment you stop paying attention to what men are up to you might see it, like I did.

If you had found the Kingdom of God well you simply wouldn't be here in this reality now. Because this reality is Hell- the construct illusory idea of the mind of ego being separate.
Yes in essence the Kingdom of God is within You but in a sense of Oneness to all and anything on a higher level of consciousness of understanding. We are here however only to communicate this pure love of innocence to everyone through the reversal of ego mind to Spirit mind.

Exactly!

It is a state of mind and state of being...the more people who get there personaly, in their own minds, hearts, and actions, the more people can join them, and it can have a snowball effect and eventually cover the whole earth....

Many are on the way, some are already there.

God's kingdom is within. Those who are not awakened to the true reality of life are as the dead. The new world is already here, but we choose not to see it and until we are awakened we cannot see it. "What you look for has come, but you do not know it. The kingdom of God is spread out upon the Earth and people do not see it. By ignoring our divine nature and refusing to take responsibility for our progress, we are perpetuating spiritual ignorance.

Gospel of Thomas

This isn't Hell...it can get much, much worse. This is just a staging ground until your final destination is determined.

Enjoy and pay attention.

No one told you how to find it

Here is one key, you find the rest

Study the teachings of Georges Ivanovitch Gurdgieff

read my signature... and visit my youtube channel (watch the featured video)


Put simply, THE KINGDOM OF GOD is exactly what it implies:

a heavenly government with a "president", a "cabinet" or "administration" and of course.... subjects.

to "find" this kingdom, you first need to "subscribe" to it, and then submit to it.


The Kingdom of God was Jesus' foremost preaching topic, that's how important it is for us to truly understand it.

The kingdom of God is spread out upon the Earth and people do not see it.

I'm pretty sure people do see it, I saw it the other week with another terrorist attack in Indonesia-

Pretty sure a lot of people also saw the twin towers go down too

Why does everyone think they will find the answer on ATS? Because trust me you won't.

Well based on the Bible, yes.

In my experience, it's easier felt in places far far away from cities because cities breed evil.

So I enter if I found jesus the gate keeper? right, so can we actually see this place, and in a spiritual/paranormal capability to really see the place. If so this will be very helpful to spread gospel.

Secondlly, Does being a citizen of this Kingdom will do magic to the citizens and give us special powers? such as healing, rebuke the devil, and so on. I will not except the fact that we only feel good by becoming the citizen, man tripping on exstassy is also brings fake happiness, right?. So cmon fill me in.

God's kingdom is within and we have the power to make this world whatever we want it to be, but if all people can see is fear, doom & gloom, then that's exactly what you'll end up with. If every human believed in a world of peace & harmony, then the dream of Utopia won't be far behind.
