The Kingdom of God

Standard

In this article, WT 3/1/2011 on the kingdom of God, the WT writers seem to not realize that the words they are quoting from the Catholic catechism are straight from the Bible. They are included in a paragraph mocking “christendom” views of “the kingdom of God.”
That is not surprising. Christendom’s leaders offer conflicting, confusing, and complicated explanations as to what the Kingdom is. One writes that God’s Kingdom is “something supernatural, . . . an inner link with the living God . . . , an experience with God in which men and women find salvation.” Another defines the gospel of the Kingdom as “instruction about the church.” And the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “The kingdom of God [is] righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
(See Romans 14:17)

Hebrews chapter 1

Standard

The Angels are not such excellent sons as Christ is

**Because Christ is begotten of God. (v.5)

**Worhiped by Angels, with divine honor, worshiped as God (v.6)

**He hath the Throne, Scepter, Kingdom of God, (v.8)

**He hath the sovereign and proper Title of God. (v.8)

**The Attributes of God, eternity, (v.8, 10, 11, 12)

**He sits at the right hand of God. (v.13)

All these excellencies are due to Christ as the proper Son of God. , whereas the Angels the most excellent sons by creation are but ministering spirits.
