Consider something. Adam and Eve were not made for this world but for God's private domain, the Garden. The Garden was not like the world we know for it did not have the ways of the world which were the self serving survival instincts of the creatures within. Good and evil relied on each other...

Interpretations are modelled upon the understanding of the interpreter. If the interpreters are true seekers, then their minds will always remain open to further interpretations, providing they all follow the will of God that is evident from beginning to end of scripture. Scripture where He...

Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom. Many have heard of it, few are taught it. The only Gospel He said He came to teach and fulfill. The only Gospel He claimed as His. He came to announce that soon, if He was successful in doing only the will of the Father, that soon the governance of man which leads...

There is one reason the Kingdom has been subdued for centuries and that is simply because of the hypocrisy of this world and religion that it would put on display. Roughly 1700 years ago the predominantly gentile religion broadsided Jesus, His Gospel, and of course the Kingdom in order to...

Everything is food for something else. It is the basis of the comprehensible universe. This universe of opposites is not part of what we call Heaven but was once supposedly connected with a neutral zone between in which we began. Having learned of opposites, the mankind of the neutral zone was...

Mankind, ever since the Garden, has preferred to make everything about self... my way, my wants, my will. Jesus came to teach us about and proclaim the Kingdom of God. His world and governance, the good news (gospel) of the Kingdom, God's will. Man wants to ignore even that and make it about...

Odd isn't it, that although Jesus taught the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Lord's prayer refers to the Father's Kingdom and governance and is mentioned twice (where His will, not man's will be done), Christianity, rather than doing as commanded, turned itself back to the ways of mankind while...

Was the will of the Father regarding Jesus' execution, payment (Him to be paid), or was His will the offering of a gift? To the Hebrew people, nothing about the word redemption when involving divine matters, required payment or a ransom. Redemption in divine, not human matters, required no...

People like to hear a convenient gospel called the gospel of salvation. Yes. The Kingdom previously unavailable but available to us now, is our salvation. Jesus taught it and died to bring it, along with a return to God's governance about. He opened a door for us once denied since the Garden...

The will/ways of man are contrary to the will/ways of the Father. The ways of man are self oriented while the ways of the Father address others. The governance of man runs contrary to the governance (kingdom) of the Father and cannot serve the Father when putting the affairs of man first. To...

Often when a person is asked who they are, they will state a profession or affiliation rather than identify their true self. The majority of people take little time to recognize in others (and themselves) that which is of God rather than that which is of man. As a result over time, they begin...

Trying to define the Gospel of the Kingdom by using the time honoured traditional thinking that had built and defends every institution that mankind has ever created, is like a rock explaining a bird's flight. It can only be done from the bird's perspective. Sooner and hopefully more than...

As all those things which have been the backdrop to a great portion of our lives now gradually disappear and the world becomes increasingly unfamiliar or uncomfortable and geared to a new generation, it could be seen as comparable to attending one's own funeral each time another piece of...

The good news of the Kingdom. A thankful alternative to the world man has created based upon his own ideals. Those who defend the ideals of man, especially prevalent in politics or personal gain, are deceived by man, and even though given the alternate ideals of the Kingdom by Jesus, they still...

All the whiners out there complaining about religion being pushed on them may have a point, at least about being pushed into something. But those having the nerve to say that the radical golden rule is just a cute but impractical code of conduct ... well, they need to get their old wiring...

The Roman historian Tacitus seems to admit there was a time pre-Constantine where the Jewish followers of Jesus had it right. The document declares that there were many unbelieving Jews living along with non-Pauline Jewish followers of Jesus in Rome only a dozen or so years after the...

Those in power, be it by way of religion or government of man, fear losing the support of the masses. Would people find that without contact, particularly with organized religion, that they can have a personal relationship with God and each other by elimination of the middleman? Hierarchy...

Just as Jesus commanded near the end of the biblical era, God at the beginning of it told Adam and Eve to put His will before their own in telling them to avoid the tree of knowledge. His will before ours, the law given in the beginning and repeated near the end. Putting His will first was not...

People are happy to delude themselves into thinking what a wonderful world this is, knowing full well it is both good and evil. Even our memories prefer to dwell on the good and forget about how messed up life and we ourselves were/are. This world was built in man's image of self interest, often...

We once were sowers sowing seeds, and those seeds eventually sowed seeds. But some seeds fell by the wayside and took it upon themselves to do more than sow seeds but to also take God's job away from Him, and rather than just sow, also self determine how those seeds should grow in the sower's...
