What's the Kingdom of God? What is Kingdom Christianity?

In this video, Lynn defines the term "Kingdom Christianity" by describing the Kingdom of God as it's seen in the Bible. He talks about how Mennonites, Amish, and other Anabaptists see understand the meaning of Jesus' kingdom and why it matters to our faith. He discusses how the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation obscured the gospel that Jesus and the apostles preached and argues that it's important to live our lives according to the principles of Heaven.

A good clear, concise summary of the significance of the Kingdom of God...

One thing all Kingdom Christians before Constantine believe is that one must believe in the validity of infant baptism, Baptismal Regeneration, a sacramental Eucharistic that is the body blood soul and divinity of Jesus as well as believing in the necessity of apostolic succession to be a valid Bishop or priest, who alone can preform a valid Eucharist.

DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 22

In this chapter we read a lot about what man is supposed to do.
1. Lost and found, when you see something that belongs to another, restore it back to him.
2. Help others when you see tradgedy, or accidents.

3. Women should not wear what belongs to a man, neither shall the man put on women's clothes. They that do, are an abomination to the Lord God.
4. If you see a bird nest by chance, either on the ground or in a tree, do not disturb it, or take it. When the dam, meaning the mother, is sitting on it. Do not take the young ones and let the mother go!
5. When you build a new house, you are to put battlements on the roof, to protect from attacks. So as not to bring blood on your house, in case anyone be killed, and spill their blood.
6. Do not plant two or more types of seed in your vineyard.
So that the seed which you have sown. Will not defile the fruit of your vineyard.
7. You should not plow with an ox and an ass together.
8. You should not wear anything that has two distinct kinds of threads. In other words, you are to wear only things pertaining to one kind of thread. No wool and linen together.
9. You are to make fringes on four corners of your bodice. In order for you to be covered.
10. When a man marries a wife, and then hates her, and then makes a speech against her, and says, she was not a virgin, the father and the mother of the woman should then bring tokens of the woman's virginity, to the elders of that city.
The father of that woman, shall then say, I gave my daughter to this man. But he hates her. And the speech that he has against her, saying that she was not a virgin, Although it seems that the woman's father has the proof, or tokens, that she was a Virgin.
Even so they should spread the cloth, before the elders of the city.
Then the elders of that city shall punish the man. That he should pay the woman's father, because he has brought an evil name to a virgin of Israel. But she will be his wife. He cannot put her away.

But if they find out that the woman was not a virgin after all.... They are to bring her to her father's house, and the men of her city should stone her, that she dies. Because she has brought folly in Israel. By playing the whore in her father's house. That is how you are to take care of evil.
11. If a man is found with a woman that has a husband, they both shall die. So as to put away evil from Israel. They should be stoned.

But if a man finds a married woman, and he forces her sexually, then only the man should die. For the woman is not then worthy of death. Because she had cried for help, and no one was there to help her.
If a man finds a virgin that is not married, and he lays hold on her sexually, and they be found out, then the man is to pay the woman's father, and they shall marry, they shall be married for the rest of their lives.
A man should not take his father's wife, or discover his father's skirts.

do we as saved people keep all that this chapter says?
Or do we pick and choose what we want?
Does anyone around here stone people today?
Like mentioned in this chapter?
How about the different kinds of threads that we are not to wear according to these verses? And who wears fringes on their bodies?

You will NOT find things like these in Paul's writings!
This is written to Israel, like it very plainly says in this chapter.
You will also not find in Paul's epistles that women are to wear skirts or dresses only. We are to dress modestly and be covered. That goes to men as well as to women.

God told Noah to build an Ark. That is NOT written to us. We don't need to build and Ark. And I think about where they were commanded to not eat meat that was unclean.
But now, in this dispensation of grace, we can eat anything with thanks giving. God said to Peter do not call unclean, which He had cleansed.

This is where right division comes in. Otherwise we should be circumcised, sacrificing animals, or speaking in tongues, performing miracles, healing the sick, casting out devils, and so on.
We are not commanded to follow what is written to Israel.
We follow the writings of our apostle Paul, which says Jesus Christ is our foundation. He calls it (my) gospel. And for you (GENTILES!)
Romans 11:13
“For I speak to you (Gentiles, ) inasmuch as (I am) the (apostle) (of) the (Gentiles, )
I magnify mine office:”

If churches would only rightly divide the word of truth, these issues would not be there.

1st TIMOTHY 1:6-12
Paul speaking

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 (Desiring) to be teachers of the (law;) understanding neither what they (say, ) nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is (not) made for a (righteous) man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to (sound doctrine;)
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to (my) trust.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
