Bible buffs--Is there a difference between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ???

No. The father (GOD), the son (Jesus) and the holy spirit is one and the same. The Trinity is a hard thing to grasp for those who are not in the faith who does't believe it.

Yes! Finally after months someone makes sense! Original christianity (not bible version) was polytheistic. Jesus taught Gods! His father in heaven is supreme god (like Brahma), then there's son of god (cosmic christ), then there's the goddess Sophia, and the creator god (Ialdaboath), and many more gods. There is mention of 35 aeons (these are very high god/goddess pairs). This is what Jesus taught and even the NT gives away Jesus' polytheism. The orthodox christians wanted "one god" so they invented "the mystery of the holy trinity". Jesus was a Pagan polytheist, and there are extra-biblical scriptures which clearly state this.

Jesus was a 100% God and a100% man. He is part of the Trinity. IT is not something that can easily be explained, even if God were to reveal this answer to us now and explain this, our human minds would not be able to comprehend what he said. God is much bigger and infinitely more intelligent than we are. We cannot confine him in just a book, a church, or even up in heaven somewhere, because God is everywhere, he knows everything, and is King of kings and Lord of lords. He gave us his word which is called The Holy Bible in order to show us what we must do on earth to be good servants and followers for him, and that is all we need for now. Instead of asking trivial questions, ask yourself what purpose God has for your life, and how he wants to work through you to spread his Gospel to others. I will pray for you. Have a nice day! =)

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

Christ speaks about being the Head of the Church. Notice that He says in Matthew 16:18 ...I will build "MY" church. In several other verses (to find them just look in the concordance of your Bible), He refers to "a" church or "the" church. These words are singular. He never says anywhere "all the churches" or "all the different congregations". I think God only intended for there to be one church. Man has created his own church to suit his own needs. I think it is important to find a church that preaches what the Bible says. ONLY what the Bible says. So many today add to the words of God and take from them as well.

There is speculation, but Jesus came to right what Adam had wronged.  There are similiarities and you'll find parallels drawn between the two in the Bible, but they are completely different.  Jesus was with God as well as the Holy Spirit when the world was created, including Adam.  They are totally different entities.

The kingdom of God(not heaven) is within us Luke 17:20-21.Most of the answers you are getting are discussing 'Kingdom of heaven' or 'Kingdom of God' these are two seperate issues and neither has to do with the section of scripture you refer to. You are mentioning The Lords Prayer and in it, it states "Thy Kingdom come". This is refering to when Satan is cast into the lake of Fire(no more temptation of sin) and there is a New Heaven and a New Earth. The holy city New Jerusalem shall descend out of heaven and land on the New Earth and all that were resurected unto the resurection of life shall spend all eternity on Earth glorifying God. In our prayers we are to let God know that we are looking forwad to this day. God will have complete control and reign over all mankind with Jesus as lord and King over David who will be over the 12 apostles who will be over us. Jesus' position is why he is often referred to as The King of Kings and The lord of Lords.

well go to the head of the class Watson... Everything in the bible is about a ONE on One relationship with the Father, That is why Jesus said that "I and the Father are One", In other places he said that "He was first among MANY Brothern" But it seems too Radical for someone to believe that Jesus Christ was a Tax Protestor, He wouldn't worship MAN himself, in his day and time the GOD was Ceasar. He wouldn't bow down to the church/state system of Rule and because of his belief, they killed him "they were doing their JOB"....The same Anti-christ, Anti-God system still exist today, and the biblical persecutor's also

Jesus did not come to talk of Himself!!!--He came to announce the existence of GOD THE FATHER AND HIS KINGDOM AND HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT!!! Jesus plainly stated He would be Head of this Royal Family--but that YOU could also be a son or daughter with GOD!Any other "gospel" is a false gospel that centers on the Messenger(Christ) and NOT on what He preached!!!-I hope you have your answer-good for you for trying to understand the truth!

Very true indeed. If you want to see a host of differences read the Christian Bible (any of them) side by side with the Jewish Tanakh (Bible). The differences between and Old Testament and the Tanakh are very evident.

Actually the only one I can understand (surprisingly) is the King James' Version.  I cannot understand the NIV, or similar versions period.  I feel like it takes away from the authenticity of it.  Perhaps it's because I was raised reading hte KJV, but in comparing it to the other versions I've read, I much perfer that interpretation of the words.

Jesus is NOT God.\n\nJesus proclaimed to be The Son of God.\nJesus is The King of Kings. Lord of Lords.\nJesus Christ is the only way to The Father Jehova.\nJesus Christ is the 2nd in The trinty, not the First.\nThe Holy spirit is the 3rd in the Trinity, not the 2nd.\n\nGod The Father..Jesus The Son. The Holy Spirit in the Trinity, just in that order.\n\nIf Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, He would be called "God in the flesh". Jesus is called"The Son of God"., for a reason. Because He is.\n\nJehovah God said what?  I will have NO other God's before me.\nDon't put Jesus Christ before Jehovah God.\n\nWe are Christians and ONE in Christ through the Blood. \n\nJehovah, Jesus, The Holy Spirit are ONE through the power of God.\n\nWe are Christians _Christ like.\nWe are not Jehovians, Jehova-likes.\nIf we were Jehovah like, we would be "equals to God.\n\nWe are God's children, not God's equals.

I try to educate people as to God's purpose. His Kingdom, or government as it says in Isaiah 9:6, 7 of the KJV of the Bible, is perfect. I can do nothing to make it better, except to help people, including myself, to be better citizens of it.

Jehovah God was speaking to Jesus Christ his first creation. Jesus was with Jehovah God for billions of years. Jehovah was not talking to himself. Jehovah and Jesus are not one and the same as people think. they are different. Father and Son. Jesus Christ was never king of the jews

Niether Jesus nor Paul (Saul) teach the Trinity.  On the contrary, they both taught the Gospel of the Kingdom as the central message -- that those who obey God may become sons of God, as Jesus is.  The Bible is consistant throughout, both Old and New Testaments teach of God's plan to create man in his image and likeness, as Jesus is the very image of God's character (Colossians 1:15).\n\nTrinitarian teachings did not come from the Bible; they did not develope until centuries after the Bible was completed.
