Scripture Reference: Luke 17:20-21, 'Kingdom, Spiritual, Not Temporal'
The Kingdom of God which is within us, among us and in our midst is Spiritual. It is not temporal. The historical Jesus made it clear that Christ-centered, kingdom living begins in the Christ of Faith, within the human spirit. It then spreads like a mustard seed through human hearts and minds as the temples and thrones of the living God, the Holy Spirit and the risen Christ of Faith, here on earth [Matthew 13:31, Luke 17:20-21, 21:5-6].
The prophet Isaiah declares that repentant, faithful and obedient believers will experience gladness, rejoicing and reconciliation with God, in this new heaven and new earth spiritual consciousness. In this normal, human state of Christ-centered, spiritual consciousness sin, separation, sufferings, spiritual sleep and spiritual death would no longer be remembered or come to mind [Isaiah 65:17]. Though previously hidden, the prophet Isaiah, the historical Jesus and the apostle Paul sought to explain to misinformed Jews, Christians and Geniles the presence and spiritual nature of the Christ of Faith and the kingdom of God, in human hearts, minds and lives.
The historical Jesus, taught, lived and modeled the full incarnation and manifestation of the Christ of Faith, the Image of God, in human flesh. He re-entered the spiritual kingdom of God, while here on earth by living the Paschal Mystery. Through repentance, humility and Christ-centered Faith, every person can awake from spiritual deafness, spiritual blindness, spiritual sleep and be resurrected from spiritual death, by following the historical Jesus in living the Paschal Mystery.
Each person can experience proper mental alignment, encounter and realize the incarnation of the Christ of Faith, through their spiritual bodies. By rejecting sin consciousness and abiding in Christ-consciousness, God's hidden, spiritual universe will be discerned and permanently established within human hearts and spread throughout our planet [Isaiah 65:17-25, Revelations 21:1-8]. By steadfastly following the historical Jesus in living the Paschal Mystery, all people in all ethnic, cultural, secular and religious groups can practice kingdom living here on earth, as it is in heaven [Luke 11:1-4.

I am interested in the study of early christianity, especially the creation and formative years, perhaps the first 200. Although in recent years, I have taken a greater and greater interest in Patristics. To show you some of the stuff I have been collecting, and trying to organize, take a look at these two pages, and see if anything interests you;
