Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 May the peace of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus be with you all. So i have heard it to be said that the vatican is the kingdom of heaven on earth. I just accepted that and had never really thought about it till yesterday and today. Jesus said something like that there will be some still alive in this generation(unsure what a generation is but also he was talking directly to the people of his time.) who would see the kingdom of heaven on earth. So i was thinking then perhaps that was the council of jerusalem, the birth of the vatican and the magesterium, unsure if the papacy was designated yet someone may be able to enlighten me as to whether or not they had a pope there. So even if none of the apostles where alive for the council of Jerusalem and i'm unsure the exact date of it but i think it was pre 100AD, there were still probably children alive from Jesus' ministry time in the flesh but of course older now, perhaps even the children he doted over and said "let the children come to me." This is all just me releasing my thoughts,lol. assume there was a designated pope or supreme leader/pontiff even though they didn't exactly have a barracks yet which came later. And i was thinking so the Vatican is the kingdom of heaven on earth and the parishes and cathedrals of the world are it's outposts. And the old world is dying, slowly but surely, though sometimes it rages refusing to fade, though i believe it truly is fading and eventually will be non existent,no war, no breaking the 10 commandments etc .

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) All this also led me to thinking this question, " are some, half ( i don't know the number) or many disillusioned and/or disappointed in the modern age as to what the kingdom of heaven is, due to fantasy and make believe and there's no super powers or anything, just faith,hope,love and peace. Perhaps the super powers,comedy and perfect romance come after the 2nd coming and the Resurrection of the dead, or perhaps not at all, perhaps faith,hope,love and peace are enough.

John Ryan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 We should not confuse the physical structure of the Church with the mystical Body of Christ, which is the Kingdom of God reaching into the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the precious body and blood of Christ alone or including the other holy sacraments ? I was talking about the pope and the magesterium whom are all priests and one of the holy sacraments, which outside of our Lord whom is there head are the only ones whom can consecrate the gifts of bread and wine to become the precious body and blood of our Lord Jesus, for our sake and theirs alone of course and neither adding to or taking away from the glory of God. P.s. sorry dUSt and everyone, i just realized i posted twice in a row, but am mindful of this rule now, and will continue to make a greater effort to not post successive posts in a row.

I mean the mystical body of Christ in the sense that all those within God's Grace are Christ's Body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
