I think a lot of the confusion and difference of opinion about the Gospel lies in the fact that most teach a different Gospel than what Jesus and Paul taught! Paul spoke on this. Here is how I see it. Jesus came to restore what Adam caused to go wrong. He taught how to live on earth in His Kingdom, not to pass out tickets to Heaven to the select in crowd. His Gospel was to help and fix the problems here on earth. It only speaks of a Kingdom that is here now, not a future time when we go to Heaven. Heaven is a realm, or Dimension that exists alongside ours. When our body dies, as they always were meant to do, we immediately, in the twinkling of an eye, enter the Heavenly realm and forever remain with the Lord. He did not come to give us a way into Heaven; we always had that. He came to restore abundant life here on earth, and so many don’t want what He came for, but just want to escape earth. It’s like they are saying, thanks for nothing Jesus, just get me out of here; I don’t want what you are selling! That is why Paul always prayed for the Lord to open the eyes of their understanding so they could see the Gospel and the Kingdom! PS, The Kingdom is here now and there will never be an earthly physical Kingdom!

All that we see
Or seem
Is a dream within
A dream.
(Edgar Allen Poe)

The entirety of the material world is infinitely less deterministic, less ominous and less fearsome than it seems. Infinitely. We are intended to take charge of it as our inherited right. But we’ve got to make that quantum leap mentally, emotionally and spiritually to attain the non-linear, non-material, non-aggressive realm of God. Let go of all materialistic striving. Sink deeply into Spirit and you will soar with the angels. Just remember that the “dream” is what we’re letting go of: it’s the unreal.

IS THE KINGDOM

like an invisible

unrelenting

wholly good

all powerful

all consuming

Or, is it

already

here?
