The Kingdom is not coming with signs to be observed — for behold, the Kingdom of God is in your midst
Lk. 17:20,21
That's an interesting statement...Guess that means the Kingdom of God is in your area...In your vicinity...You just have to get into it, somehow...Apparently by joining a church...
Ya know, the Catholic church didn't always teach that...This is what my bible says:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Ya know what that means??? That means the Kingdom of God is within you...And that means the Kingdom of God is not in a building...It is not in a religion...The Kingdom of God is inside of individual people...Christians...
And the only way the Kingdom of God can be within you is if the Kingdom is Spiritual, not physical...
Why would someone change the Scripture to make one think the Kingdom of God was NOT in them, but around them??? Who would do that??? And when would they do that??? Couldn't have been too long ago...
I mean, even your good ole' Saint Jerome knew the Kingdom of God was within you...And those people that put Jerome's words into the English language knew that the Kingdom of God was within you...
I'd be wondering about that...Wouldn't you???
