Is the kingdom of heaven within?

Jesus said that the kigdom of Heaven is within and He was refering to the ability to have the truth of God by taking it into the heart and living by it,this is a grounding for the state of Heaven after death.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand--Because He had come\nRepent and believe--He had brought the Gospel\nI have not come to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me.--He was ordained By the Father to be the Christ and also was appointed the True High Priest, the only one appointed with an oath.

I believe that the physical world is full of sin and the spiritual world is basically good.  There's a war going on between the two and I don't know who's winning.  I think there are more bad people in the world.  The road to heaven is narrow and less traveled.....)(

Matthew 19: 23-25\n\n23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "What I'm about to tell you is true. It is hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is hard for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But it is even harder for the rich to enter God's kingdom." \n\n    25When the disciples heard this, they were really amazed. They asked, "Then who can be saved?" \n\n    26Jesus looked at them and said, "With man, that is impossible. But with God, all things are possible." \n\nPay particular attention to verse 26\n\nJesus wanted the disciples and us to realze that we are dependant on God, and without him we can do nothing.

Of course.\nWhy do you think they call it heaven?

To recollection of things, there is no other realm in which humans exist.  God, Jesus, the Holy Sprit and Angels exist in Heaven.  The devil and his demons roam the Earth after he was ousted from Heaven for his disobedience.  Where he still roams today.  May God Bless

NO-Heaven is absolute perfection (paradise).  Why would someone who has gone to heaven be able to look back on this wicked world (imperfection)?  It would take away from what heaven is if we could.  Moreover, why would anyone from hell be able to look at earth (a place created to show God's glory)?\n\nI don't have Bible proof for you, but I am in a Sunday school class (Heaven - Will it be Boring?) and what I have learned in that class makes it so the answer just seems to be correct to me.\n\nI am sorry, but I don't believe he sees you.  I will ask my pastor though.

Yes I do! I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell just as the Bible says- that the kingdom of God is heaven- the Bible speaks of Hell as Hell and Lake of Fire and Sheol (in the OT) And Gahena.\n\nIt is through Jesus Christ that one can enter the kingdom of God- John 3:3 says "Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God"\n-which means you would go to the alternative- Hell. But God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for OUR sins- Because we all have sinned against God (Romans 3)- according to His standards ( His Law) and we all need forgiveness- we all need a Savior- for God is Holy And Just and has NO sin- but he took our sin upon himself and suffered so that those who believe in Him will have eternal life and not only that- but he gives us his Holy Spirit who teaches us all truth- and gives us complete JOY and Peace- we are secure in Christ- no longer do we fear death- death has NO sting on us. Jesus Christ died so that We who believe may LIVE! How wonderful is that?\n\nJohn 11:25\nJesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,\n) \nJohn 11:26\nand everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"\n\nRomans 1:16\n[ The Righteous Shall Live by Faith ] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Very Interesting.\n\nBut then again, that "heaven" cannot be felt, cannot be appreciated fully because we do not know what is good or bad. It's more like nothingness, more like emptiness without anything feelings or choice.\n\nLet's look at another perspective of "Heaven". The fulfilling heaven. Glorious Heaven. Heaven which only fits as the dwelling place of God. It will be with the knowing and realization of all the worst of things like jealousy, fear, crime, destroying relationships, dishonor, distrust, trashing earth, falsehood and everything evil...etc BUT we were lifted from all these, protected, purified, kept close to the One we trust most and more, we were lavish with happiness and quality richness. (may not necessarily be material richness). Heaven is actually a state of God's Majesty.\nFollowing this definition, to be in Heaven simply means to be in God.\n\nIt's like why don't God make everybody love Him. Why give everyone free will to choose to love him or to go against.\n\nI believe to get a genuine love can only come with free will to choose. Only with that comes genuine love.\n\nI cannot imagine how good can it be if there is no free will and God just made everyone love Him automatically.\n\nSo, what do you think? Is this a better Heaven?

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is found within. He also said to spread the Good News. Threatening people with everlasting torment if they don't believe is NOT spreading the Good News. Those aren't Christians handing out leaflets! They are followers of a false prophet, wolves in sheep's clothing, and still very much in servitude to their own egoic luciferian self. What they are spreading is an anti Christ teaching. They are who Jesus warned about. They are FAKES.\n\nHeaven is where you land when you surrender personal will to God's Will; when the lower fear based nature is 'cast out' with the Light of the Holy Spirit. You don't have to die to be consciously present with and embodied by God. \n\nHell is what we get until we become harmless in God. We reap what we sow. When we cause harm, we suffer in the Hell of our own making.

It was the heavenly kingdom of which Jesus is now the ruling king. It is the one true government that will wipe out all of the ones on the earth today, and will have earth's inhabitants unified under it in true worship. It will eventually be handed over from Jesus to his Father after Christ's 1000 Year Reign and after Satan is completely destroyed.

YOU ASK A ??? BEFORE YOU CHECK TO SEE IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE.\n\nSOME OF THE 12 TRIBES MENTIONED IN Revelation ARE NOT THE ONES IN THE 12 TRIBES MENTIONED IN THE (old testament)  YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "FLESHLY 12 TRIBES" & THE "SPIRITUAL 12 TRIBES"\n\nYOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THE KINGDOM IS THAT JESUS TALKED ABOUT, NOR WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE.  I DOUBT VERY MUCH IF YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A KINGDOM IS.\n\nAND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY ONLY 144000 WILL BE SAVED.  THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT THERE WILL BE A GREAT CROWD WHICH NO MAN CAN NUMBER,  SO MILLIONS COULD  BE SAVED.\n\nBEFORE YOU ASK THE NEXT ??? DO SOME RESEARCH & MAKE SURE WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE.

It's simple, really.\n\nThe Kingdom of Heaven is analogous to our Earthly existence, but has no physical similarities (because it is not a physical kingdom,  therefore any comparisions must by necessity be metaphorical). \n\nBut anyway, the concepts of God as universal love (see I John, for instance), the concepts of fiery retribution (Revelation, Matthew, etc.) and universal salvation are in no wise mutually exclusive.\n\nTo put it bluntly: if God and His love are light, and the wicked are darkness, then when God's love/light fill the world it will be painful to those accustomed to darkness. Just as if you lived in a dark cave for many years and suddenly the roof was ripped off and the glory of a thousand suns shined forth, your eyes would just about explode from the brilliance. \n\nIf God is One, he cannot be a composite entity. He is one, and he only does one thing, namely his will. God is just, and we reckon his will as either good or evil depending on our circumstances, but ultimately His will is good in a way that is beyond good and evil. When this Pure Goodness fills the universe and puts all the shadows to flight, those who were accustomed to darkness will burst into flames (metaphorically speaking, of course).\n\nBut what is the nature of fire? Yes, it destroys things, that is true. But it also creates LIGHT!! Do you see now? God, when, on the Day of Judgement, causes His glory to fill the world will fill the universe with that beautiful light, and the wicked will be turned into sources of light and goodness.\n\nAll this is but a crude and inelegant attempt to describe His amazingly beautiful intent.

My dear the Spiritual world governs rulers the earthly world. there are two kingdom in the spiritual world; HEAVEN AND HELL. there is a war btn these two as God is trying to follow up his Part 'the spirit' he put in Man during creation. this is something he did with love en 4 the purpose of man worshiping him.\nNow satan rebelled en confusing, lying, destroying God's plan. \nSO THE CONFUSION IS ALL AROUND THERE.\nTHERE IS GOD, OK. EN THE ONLY WAY TO GOD IS THRU JESUS CHRIST. HE (GOD) IS THE  HOLY OF HOLY AND CAN BE APPROACHED BY SINFUL MAN UNLESS WASHED BY JESUS' BLOOD. for more details u can email me.

Yes, Jesus has established his kingdom. And I believe it is called the Catholic Church: the only church that claims to be one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic! God Bless you, wherever your searching leads you!
