And who is the steward of the kingdom he has left on earth, pray tell?

Since the only Kingdom on Earth is a spiritual kingdom, God naturally sent the Holy Spirit to be the Steward of His Kingdom...

More subordinationism and the rest is twaddle. The key (!) is in Matthew 16. What does Jesus give Peter? The keys to the Kingdom. Who gets the keys to the kingdom when the king is away? The steward of the kingdom and that title passes to his heirs until the king returns. And what is the Holy Spirit to do? John 14 tells us that He will the Counseler, the Advisor. Not the steward.

Once again, you have got it bone achingly wrong.

There is no physical Kingdom of God on Earth, yet...

Matthew 16 and 28. What did Jesus leave for us? Once again...

And when It gets here, there won't be a pope sitting on the Throne...And the Throne will not be in Italy...

It's not going to be a LaZBoy in your den, for sure...

I think the one true Church that Jesus founded, The Orthodox, :), would disagree with your Mathew 16 inference.

Amazing how such a foundational belief could be built on A SINGLE verse.

Funny, how the parralell verses in LUKE, are totally silent on this "key" issue.

And here's the Kingdom...

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Oh Oh...Where's your kingdom that flesh and blood can't inherit??? Your and my flesh are corrupt...We can't inherit the Kingdom of God...

So you guys got convinced that the corrupt flesh sittin' on the throne in the vatican is the leader of the Kingdom of God on Earth??? Bible says it can't be...

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

And lookie here...You guys have been totally deceived...There is no physical Kingdom on Earth right now...

Search the scriptures...The scriptures are in condemnation of your religion...

There is no Kingdom of God on Earth right now...Your religion is not the Kingdom of God...The Kingdom is Spiritual, within you and me...
