The kingdom of God does indeed exist...however, there is a segment of the Kingdom which has been usurped.

That's a theory of rather recent origin that creates more problems than it allegedly solves.

did not say to Satan...hey, you have no authority to offered them to me.

Actually, Satan had no such authority. Just look at Jesus's response, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " Jesus made it clear God alone had authoriy over the nations and that they would all belong to Jesus by the power of His resurrection. "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Renald Showers.

I am familiar with the dispensational party line having been one myself. In fact I could have written the same material because I read the same material as Showers and his friends. They all draw on the same flawed interpretation of a few select Scriptures. They rely on a hyper-literalist interpretation of some OT passages and ignore most of the NT explanation of the kingdom.

Please consider that we gentile Christians lost much in understanding of the old and New Testament when the gentiles surplanted the Jews during the time of Constitine. ... its grounded in Jewish meaning which we has lost.

Historical revisionism. The Church has always had the deposit of the truth because we have always had the infallible Word of God. The Church has always been blessed with Hebrew and Greek scholars as well as those versed in church history. I don't think a "latter day saints" approach to Biblical theology is very helpful.

His Bride, the Church. (But don't overlook that Isreal Is descibed as the wife of Jehovah God...

Is this one of those veiled suggestions that God is a polygamist? I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
