What is God's Kingdom?

Twas just thinking, OH NO.

What is it with all these quips?
We are made to feel that you think you are talking to an idiot.

You appear to be what one might say, steps out of the square, so to speak.

I stepped out of the mortal body, so to speak.
I thought I made that much clear.
But I'm smart enough to look to see if my thinking aligns
with tradition from apostles and saints,
before proclaiming something as truth about the inspired Word of God.

So, I would like your thoughts, not for a debate, just something for myself.

Well, it's a little obvious
that you do wish to lead this into a debate.

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called
The Word of God.

I take it, you accept, happy with this name, appropriate etc?

No, I don't know what to accept and not happy with The Word of God,
as the name given to the rider.
Some translations say the name is written on the clothes and vesper,
not that it is his name.
If you were the head soldier for King Arthur,
you could have King Arthur written on you garments
because he is the king you serve but that doesn't make you King Arthur.
The passage also says he has a name that no one knows but himself.
So that could lend that Word of God is not his name but the name of who he represents.
Christ says, those who live by the sword shall die by the sword
so that gives an indication, to me personally, that Christ wouldn't be riding a horse,
from which his mouth a sharp sword, smites nations.
This could lend that the rider fights for Christ also.
There is a translation that says Christ on a White Horse, where other versions say
Rider on a White Horse.
I'm out on this, I don't know, but I lean towards him being
an all powerful nameless (only himself knows his name) rider,
who represents the Word of God and the King of Kings.
He is the one who slays the enemy armies of God
and captures the beast and the false prophet.

With that in mind, what if a name was given to the Almighty God and Father and that was ->The Word.

That's not in my mind.
What ifs, what if what if and what if?
The Word isn't given to the name of Almighty God and Father.

Would that be fitting?
No.

In sync, so to speak,

No we are not in sync, so to speak.

considering Jesus's name here.

What if it isn't?
I don't think it is but am not willing to proclaim it as truth.

Just want your thoughts on that, no more and no less.

Well, here you have them. One outside the mortal body.
So no more to come?
Bet you are itching to take it a little further?

Anyone else's for that matter.

I must say, I am rather surprised at your response and an uncalled for one to boot.
I thought I made it very clear, twice in fact, that I was seeking your thought on an area I was looking at, for myself.

As for me thinking you an idiot = opposite.
My comment, OH NO, here I am giving You the s....'s again, a little humor as dry as it may have been.
So,..I was sort of downing myself, if anyone.

Translation -> your a liar
Not part of my make up.
We are being watched over and I don't take that lightly.

Possibly my writing, but you appear to have misread what I meant here.
I saw your post re stepping out etc and thought, you don't generally see the likes of that being spoken of, hence out of the square, the norm so to speak.
But, not in a negative aspect.
So, if anything, it was seeing it in the Good context as not many can do that and I can see the benefits etc, that you briefly said it brings.
So good on you.

The rest of your comment on this area, as I previously said, I didn't come down in the last shower, I can read between the lines, and it is uncalled for.
We are warned in no uncertain terms, to watch out for the tradition of Men.
BUT,.....apparently, most immediately think, oh,........that's referring to them over there, so to speak.
Really, 30,000 odd thousand of so different Christian faiths, coming from One Book = Houston, this is Not of God, but tradition of men.
----------------
Odd though, you appear to have stepped out of the Tradition of men etc -> Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Most say it Jesus and it is very clear, this ones name is called, The Word of God.

Now that where here, not intended, the fact it says no one knows this name, should sound alarm bells.
And imo, we shouldn't be thinking, what if's running around our minds as I would say the answers are in the Bible.
Some of your comments on this one,..........a little mystifying?
But apparently, your out of this one, so I won't go there.

Tip, there is a Key to many Bible passages and if I was to put in in one -> Word...............Alpha Omega - A - Z, for word, words?
Find it mate and read the new Bible lol.

Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting good news (Flesh) to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

I take it you realize the Sword coming from the mouth is in ref to the word of God?
