But the Bible says the Kingdom is in our hearts. If God abides in us, certainbly His saints abide in us too. As +John the Forerunner (Baptist) says "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand [near]" all you have to do is reach for it, Blogger! Don't look up, look inside!
JTB's quote tells you that physically dead humans abide in us??? I cannot comprehend how you can possibly draw that conclusion. What in the world does one have to do with the other? Is this quote from JTB the totality of your scriptural evidence?
