About This Blog

December 31st, 1969 by JohnO

We want to have a discussion with you. You know who we are. We don’t necessarily know who you are though. How do you know us? We share similar beliefs, and we want to know what you think. So tell us!

We want this to be a place where Kingdom unitarians can come and discuss the deep issues about our faith, our movement, and our outreach. We want to share what works, and what doesn’t work. We want to figure out exactly what we’re all supposed to be doing

We want to find more people like us! And we want to be able to connect people together when someone finds us.

The views expressed by posters and commentators are not necessarily endorsed by Living Hope International Ministries. Feel free to disagree with us as we all work together to discover the truth of Scripture.

There are more of us than you think!

    dear John (and all of you at KINGDOMREADY),

    Cash Reynolds here from eugene, oregon. i’m glad that you created this blog, making it possible to get to know each other a little and talk about the word.

    i was first exposed to the kingdom message a few years ago by my dear friend Brice Basset and life hasn’t been the same since.

    i’ve run Gary Gudlin’s Kingdom of God seminar as a class for several people over the last couple years but have yet to see anyone “take” to the message.

    last week i finished up my community service work at a drug/alcohol detoxification center. i was reading Vince’s “change to change” book and was so excited about it that i just had to leave it on the detox center bookshelves along with Anthony Buzzard’s “coming kingdom of the Messiah” book in hopes that someone hungry for the things of God may find them there someday.

    Brice gave me another copy so im continuing to read change to change.

    recieving both “Glad Tidings” and Anthony Buzzards newsletter is a real blessing also.

    this page is now my homepage and i look foreword to reading the articles and continuing to write to you all.

    thank you, cash :)

    I’m so thrilled to see that you’re out there — having been a member of the Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith all my life, I always thought we were “the only ones” who believed the Kingdom message! Anthony Buzzard is a tremendous mind and a great teacher!

    Good afternoon, Frank,

    I realise this may be a late reply, but there is Atlanta Bible College. It’s the CofG’s seminary, and the place where Sir Anthony Buzzard teaches. No idea what it costs …

    I look forward to meeting many in the Albany, NY area soon.

    what made you decide that the KJV bible is no longer good enough? How do you know that a certain book is the corrrect translation? How can you trust what a man says what God says?

  9. on 03 Nov 2007 at 8:11 pm9 JohnO

    Hey Jonas good to see more and more people here. Your second and third question can be levied against every translation of the Bible, including the KJV. So if you prefer it, I’d be just as fair to ask you why the KJV is better? I find the NASB to be the best I’ve found. I find the NAB, and the ESV are also good. This is primarily because the form (old english) of the KJV is outdated to us - and because the KJV is based on older, western manuscripts. It did not use earlier, greek, manuscripts that were known at the time. And since that time many many more earlier greek manuscripts have been found. These are the two reasons I don’t read the KJV anymore.

    Here’s are a hefty theological question for you.

    If there were a part of us that survived death, would there be any reason or need for a resurrection? Can we believe in both immortality of soul & the resurrection?

  11. on 04 Feb 2008 at 12:20 am11 Tony

    This is a question for all you hefty theologans!

  12. on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:20 am12 JohnO

    Tony,

    I’m sure we could do much of anything that we like. I just don’t see it making much sense, and it detracts from the hope of Jesus - the Kingdom. Genesis surely contradicts the notion of an immortal man. Only because of the Tree of Life is mankind immortal. Once God takes that away, man is mortal, that is, he can die. Therefore immortality is not inherent in us, it is external to us.

    The Scriptures don’t ever state that we go to heaven when we die, even though it is an incredibly popular idea. Jesus’ focus rather is on the coming of the Kingdom. It is a corporate focus, not an individual focus. It is focused on the parousia, the return of Jesus, not the moment of our death. It is focused on the restoration of the entire creation - not leaving the creation behind.

    Take a look at some videos that Sean and I have done on the subject:

    Hello there. I’m in Columbus, Ohio. I was invited here by someone I met on beliefnet. Thanks again.
    I have only begun to check out your site but so far I like what I see.
    I love meeting like minded believers and followers of truth so pleased to meet you all.
    My church is not affiliated with anyone so I’m sure most of you have not heard of us. We were started about 45 years ago by my husband’s Grandfather. We have had a few names but currenty we are just The Bible Church of God.
    Hope to get to know some of you!

    Be blessed.
    Jen

    By the way, I love that picture on your site. It’s so beautiful I’d like to hang it in my house. My husband and I love fall.

    Jen,

    We’re so glad to have you. It is wonderful to meet more and more believers who have discovered the same truth we have. Perhaps sometime we could get your story posted up here. We hope to see you in the comments again!

    Jen,

    So glad you found the site and introduced yourself. I just found your reply in the Beliefnet community this morning (my auto-notice of it got sent to my “spam” box).

    Be sure to post your thoughts/comments to the daily articles when ever the notion strikes you!

    Hey all at KReady,
    Gotta say after leaving a so called Christian Ministry of which I was involved with for 23 years, your material, insight, and research is a breath of fresh air. I was also told about this website from a great man named Brice Bassett who Cash mentioned in his response. I have the Change book and Inside out, and also listen to your many teachings. Thanks for making so much availiable on your website, it is so amazing and needed in this day and time. I still have not explored all you offer, which is a ton of material.
    Keep up the great work and getting us info on so much of what God offers with such little effort on my part. (point and click)
    Thanks Gang!!!! I pray for you daily!!!

    Monty
