Hello Sandra are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God the same?

Nice presentation. His people are STILL with the children of israel (negros, indians, latinos), Jeremiah 31:31-35, Hebrews 8:8-10, and we have been scattered to the 4 corners of the earth as stated in Deut 28:64 and Luke 21:24, et al.

Banya Yasharahla... How could you determine the people of Israel are only three genetic subgroups of people (as you mentioned in parentheses) when the professor just stated that God's people are of every tongue, tribe and nation as she was quoting the Bible. When you say "Indians" does that mean Native Americans or people from India? How do you define what qualifies as "Latino"? When you say "Negroes" do you mean people of African descent? What percentage of genetic markers do I need from one of these subgroups to qualify?

[@tamarahollenbeck2988]

@@Christophilemon I think you misunderstood. As Sandy stated, Israel IS the Kingdom of God! We; you and me, are the Kingdom of God. Pls!!! No more division! Jesus IS coming. 💓🙏

The first part of the explanation of Israel being literally the Kingdom of God was excellent. The second part is false, however. Yes, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is literally THE KNIGDOM OF GOD. Before Jesus Christ died, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, He went all over preaching " THe Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the good news". What kingdom was He talking about being at hand if it was already there? He was talking about HIS kingdom. HIS CHURCH which He established via His 12 Apostles, of which the one has pruimacy, Peter. Christ is the King od this New Kingdom= the Church= The Catholic Church. His 12 apostles were His representatives on earth taking His good news to the ends of the world. When Jesus ascended into heaven, He did not literally leave us. He IS here on earth, in HIS KINGDOM, in every single Tabernacle in every Catholic Churc ( or orthodox Church that has Apostolic succession). JUst like in the desert, JESUS is still in the HOLY of HOLIES in the center of every single Church- He is there. This is His Kingdom. But Protestants cannot see that because they threw out the belief of the Holy Presence of God Himself in the Eucharist when the dreaded Protestant Revolution happened. None the less, Jesus the KING is still in His Kingdom, the One, Holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church.

There seems to me to be a lot wrong with this line of reasoning. The Church is also LITERALLY a Kingdom ruled by God - a theocracy. Basileias tou Theou (Acts 1) Rule of God / Kingdom of God - in reference to the church = THEOCRACY. We are not citizens of this world or its countries. Even if such a semantic argument is made, it is contrary to Scripture: Phil 3:20. If Christ and the Church fulfill the Law and Prophets we should not dispose of OT types, which find their fulfillment in the same.

[@issabellabukenya9606]

Wow.Up until now Israel rule had never been interpreted better to me.Thanks Dr.Sandra.

[@AndyZach]

True for the Church, but not true for our civil governments, such as the US republic. As a theocracy, Israel was both civil and religious. The church does not have a civil component.

Did you hear the whole thing?🙆🏼‍♀️

[@ChipKempston]

@@tuconexionlocal7516 Greetings, it's been 9 years since I even made this comment, so I'd ask you to be a bit more direct in what you're getting at. Thanks.

[@jeffgray6291]

Is the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God the same? No; the kingdom of heaven is earthly, Acts 2:6 when ....... Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel; earthly kingdom ruled by God through men (theocracy). Kingdom of God; see Romans 14:17, 1 Corinthians 4:20, Luke 17:21..... the kingdom of God is within you. Yes the Church is the kingdom of God but not in the same sense as Israel, Jesus our King is in Heaven and He has established His Church by His apostles. Yes we individual and collective are a royal priesthood 1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1. There are so many false churches under the headship of Christendom, is Christ Jesus the head of all of these false prophets and teachers?

[@lhrabb]

this is literal

[@earnestlycontendingforthef5332]

Here is the Will of the Lord! "11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Timothy 2:10-14 (KJV) The corrupted and God-dishonoring "Devil and his angels" will do the very opposite as we plainly see in our above example.

[@grantbartley483]

You're a misogynist who quotes the Bible out of context. Like the devil himself.

[@jeffgray6291]

The Lord never said that a woman could not teach; there was some things going in in this passage of Scripture and the women were being unruly so Paul being lead by the Spirit (all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God), told the women to keep silent in church and ask your husband....., Sandra is not being unruly and usurping man's authority if you prefer not to listen to this Godly that's your choice. She is not out of order.
