A very excellent understanding of my point of view which is why Woody's Saddam example is moot.

Nope! You must acknowledge that during 32AD and 70AD that there were things offensive in the Lord's kingdom.

Yes. They were called Apostates and Old Covenant teachers. They still had a covenant with God the Old one, and they kept those who would be saved under bondage.

That was removed in AD 70 when they were utterly destroyed and taken captive by the Romans. And THEN the New Covenant was instated, and now NOTHING OFFENSIVE CAN enter the kingdom, becaquse the kingdom is a spiritual reality, not a physical Old Covenant!!
