I am very pleased to see that Kenn has done his own study. It is too bad that more people don't do that for themselves. Anyway, in response to what Kenn said regarding Jesus' teachings. Well, He definitely did teach that the Kingdom of God was at hand and was on the way, but remember also that Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is within you. Jesus kingdom arrived when He completed His mission on earth and rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Then He sent God's spirit to dwell within us. Those who are His followers and disciples. If you would read the book of Acts I think you might understand more of what the Kingdom of God is. It is Jesus, or God Himself, dwelling within us while we are yet on earth. It is not symbolic but actual, but on the spiritual plane not the physical. That is what is yet to come. karen alias larryg
