So you can't tell the difference between the children who are to inherit the kingdom and the children who don't,?But, in Matthew 13:36-39 the children of the wicked one are contrasted with the children of the kingdom. So, you're not understanding that they are not in His kingdom or else it would say that they too were children of the kingdom. But, they are not. So, what it means when it says they are cast out of His kingdom is not that they are in His kingdom and then cast out of it. That would contradict what He had just said before that. Instead, it means they are cast out from the presence of His kingdom.
Remember, it says the wheat and tares would grow together until the harvest (end of the age). So, the kingdom of Christ exists on the earth with the kingdom of the wicked one at the same time. So, all it means when He said the angels "will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil" is that the children of the wicked one will be separated from the children of the kingdom. To think that the children of the wicked one are in Jesus's kingdom is insane and utter nonsense. Think about it.
You are misinterpreting what that means. Think about it! You are saying that children of the wicked one are in Jesus's kingdom! What?!!! No way is that true. You are apparently ignoring that the children of the wicked one are contrasted with the children of the kingdom. Only the children of the kingdom are in His kingdom. That should be obvious. The children of the wicked one are not in His kingdom. That's crazy talk to say the children of the wicked one are in Christ's kingdom. No, they are in the wicked one's kingdom.
The way it's worded is throwing you off, but when you take everything He said into consideration it should be clear that it's only talking about separating the children of the wicked one from the children of the kingdom and not saying it's casting the children of the wicked one out of Christ's kingdom as if they are in His kingdom. No wicked people are in His kingdom. Think!
You're not addressing any of the other scriptures I brought up in the original post. Why not? Can you show me how you reconcile those with your doctrine? Or do you prefer to cherry pick scripture that you accept while ignoring the scriptures that you don't accept? I'm getting that impression from you because no matter how many times I ask you to address those scriptures, you won't do it.
Yes the children of the wicked one are in Christs kingdom when he comes.They are cast out of his kingdom when he comes.They dwell together till he comes.
Mathew 13
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Mathew 13
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The only people who survive in Christs kingdom are the righteous.But this is about Christs kingdom.
This isn't about Mexico or Brazil.Its not about China ,Russia or Canada.
It's about Christs kingdom.Motals will still be living outside of his kingdom.Where do you think Gog and the mortal nations come from in revelation 20?
