1 | Kingdom of God Spiritual or Phisical? | Bible general Archive 1 | dweaver | 36826 | ||
Jesus talked much about qualifications for entering his kingdom. For example, He said, "Unless we become as little children, you cannot enter"; "It is harder for a rich person to enter the kingdom than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle", etc. My question is, "Is the Kingdom of God a spiritual Kingdom, one that is viewed or experienced vith Spiritual Eyes only, not a physical kingdom? Or is Kingdom living primarily about an attitude of the heart? | ||||||

Dear Thankful1 Thanks for your perspective. This is where I'm coming out in my searching. I think that the Kingdom is in my heart. I receive it by the Holy Spirit at the time of my conversion. All of descriptions of Jesus regarding the Kingdom fit this understanding. We cannot deal with the Kingdom in the physical dimension, it needs to be dealt with in the spiritual dimension. (Heart) I'm still working on question of whether God permits us to actually get a visual glimpse into the spiritual realm, ie. Elisha's servant when Elisha asked God to open his eyes. What do you think? I appreciated your answer. dweaver |
