Q

One misconception about the KOG is that Jesus was leading a revolution against the Judaism of his time. How does this not agree with what we know about Christ in scripture?

A

The gospel in no way depicts Jesus as anti-ritual or anti-Jewish religion. At the last supper, Jesus and his disciples are obediently engaging in Jewish faith and Jewish ritual.

Q

A final misconception grows out of a desire for “inclusion.” It understands that because Jesus is divisive, the KOG is not about Jesus but God as anyone understands God. But even God is divisive so what Jesus really came to establish was an earthy kingdom of peace. How does this not agree with what we know about Christ in scripture?

A

Because Jesus is divisive, and because only Christians have Christ, there is a short from thinking about the kingdom brought be Christ, to a kingdom rooted in God.
