Greetings Bob, Thank you for your response. I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding; " << that we both cannot be right, but both can be wrong, or one is right but not the other >>, I confessed that I was wrong in believing this " popular " belief. It did not happen overnight Bob, you see when " Light" comes from the Holy Spirit, "darkness " is exposed and must forever flee. Once truth is known, one can never believe the lie again. << I don't see that Jesus Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom and that is the end of it. >>. Not so my brother; John 18:36, Jesus is speaking, " My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my Kingdom is not from here ". This spiritual kingdom came into being at Calvary by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We ( born again believers ) are NOW part of this spiritual kingdom ( Eph 2:5-6 ) whether we understand this truth or not. This spiritual kingdom co-exists in this physical world until the second coming when God will lift the curse on this earth and I would think it should very much resemble the Garden of Eden. << Jesus has a physical body now.... >> WRONG, Jesus has a "glorified " Body that resembles a physical body in appearance only. The Apostle John knew Jesus after His " physical " body while on the earth, however upon seeing this same Jesus with a " glorified " body , He fell at His Feet as dead ( Rev. 1:17 ) We will all be changed at His second Coming and receive our " glorified " bodies as like unto the Body of our Great King , Jesus Christ, living on a new earth. Bob, I sincerly would ask that you do not close yourself of to what the Holy Spirit would have you understand. Again I speak from experience. Please ask the Lord to show you what I have said as to the meaning of these scriptures, but know for sure the search for truth has a painstaking cost involved. May God Grant you the desires of your heart and reveal his understanding to you. Robert
