The kingdom of God is not coming to earth; it has already come: Matthew 12:28-30 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you....

So, since Woody thinks the Kingdom of God has already come, and then cites Matt. 12:28-30, it seems that the Kingdom of God consists of casting out demons. That's how he interprets that, anyway. The Kingdom of God = casting out demons...says so in Matt.12:28. Do I need to point out the obvious, that Jesus was referring to one aspect of the Kingdom of God, that of releasing people from bondage. But that is not the whole Kingdom of God, is it? So wouldn't it be innaccurate to cite this verse to prove the Kingdom of God has already come?

Context, people, context!

I'm still waiting for you to cite me a single verse which says that you have only half a kingdom of God.

The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.
