Luk_17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Quoting: B4Birth GNOSTIC GNONSENSE
So if you do not believe the Bible, why are you even discussing it? This is what nonsense is. You proclaim nonsense and yet call yourself "servant of the LORD" and do not believe what the Bible says. Do you even know "the LORD", or "the Lord GOD" and why it is spelled both ways in the Bible? What is the difference between the two?
You're mistaken. I fully BELIEVE what the Bible says.
I DON'T believe oddball interpretations of things said.
The supposition of "within you" would mean that when a person dies, their soul goes "inside" themselves. This is blatantly WRONG.
Folks like you take a single verse about a topic like "the kingdom of God" and proclaim that it's the "be all / end all" of the subject. It isn't.
The kingdom of God is the same as the kingdom of heaven.
I suggest that you go and read ALL the passages that use the phrases.
"kingdom of God" in the 4 Gospels

I do not know much about Urantia because I am a Christian. I have heard of it but I only know the Bible. the Bible says this:
John 14:2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Quoting: B4Birth Mansions are NOT planets.
Says who? And by what authority do you speak?
The authority of scripture dictates such.
Where does scripture say that mansions are planets?
It doesn't.
New Jerusalem is 1500 miles square.
LOT'S of room for MANSIONS.
