Holding Up A Mirror To Traditional Beliefs

Consider that Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to those ( his original Apostles and disciples) who were teaching His Gospel of the Kingdom, in order to guide/keep them on the path of the Kingdom. The HS was a shepherd for those who knew and accepted the ways of the Kingdom/governance of the Father. Although Paul's teachings have been diverted to serve other causes, there are at least three scriptures that show Paul's gospel was also the Gospel of the Kingdom (making him worthy too of shepherding by the HS), although fellow man liked to associate him with salvation which runs contrary. Him among us or us with Him? Vast difference there. The Kingdom is about the return of the Father to live among man, while the human tradition of 'salvation' makes it all about what's in it for us. Greedy mankind never changes and continues to serve self and self ambition.

Acts 19:8 He (Paul) went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God

Acts 28: 23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Acts 28: 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
