Luk 23:42-43 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, **To day** shalt thou be **with me** in paradise.

Kenneth Copeland (Substitution and Identification, tape #00-0202, side)

"I've had ugly books written about me because I said that Jesus died spiritually, but the fact is, I didn't say that the Bible said it. Jesus became our substitute. If he hadn't died spiritually, then we could never have been made alive spiritually. But He did! On the cross, Jesus was separated from the glory of God…

One of the most blatant and blasphemous heresies taught by the major internationally known Word of Faith teachers is the doctrine that says Jesus Christ, God the Son died spiritually and had to be reborn spiritually …

The person who brought this concept to the forefront was E.W. Kenyon

E.W. Kenyon believed that Jesus died two deaths. He died physically and He died spiritually.

“Jesus was conceived without sin. His body became mortal, only then could He die. When this happened, spiritual death, the nature of Satan, took possession of His Spirit.”

“He was to partake of Spiritual Death, the nature of the Adversary. It has been said that God could not do a thing like that. That is sense knowledge reasoning. . .Satan would become His master.”

"He is the first born out of spiritual death, the first person who was ever born again. . . His spirit absolutely became impregnated with the sin nature of the world. . . Christ did not have sin reckoned to Him. He was made to be sin.”

Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

(1Pe 2:9-10)

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(1Jn 1:8)

M.R. DeHaan made the following statement with reference to the first advent of our Lord “... the kingdom of heaven is the reign of heaven's King on earth. This Jesus offered to the nation of Israel when he came the first time, but they rejected it and he went to the cross…”
(The Second Coming of Jesus, p. 98)

W.E. Blackstone 'He would have set up the kingdom, but they rejected and crucified Him.'
(Jesus is Coming, p. 46)

Why did the Christ fail in his attempt to establish a kingdom during his first advent?… S.D. Gordon (Quiet Talks About Jesus, p. 131) says: 'Everything must be done through man's consent.' Commenting further on this he said (sec. 4):

“God proposes, man disposes. God proposed a king, and a worldwide kingdom with great prosperity and peace. Man disposed of that plan, for the bit of time and space controlled by his will.”

...the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
(Rev 13:8b)

(Joh 6:15)

1.the Davidic kingdom has already been established, and

2.there will be no future millennium, but it too began at the first advent. This we believe the Bible teaches.

…scriptural evidence that the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are synonymous terms is found in two accounts of the sending out of the Twelve… One of these inspired men chose to use the term kingdom of heaven, while the other preferred the kingdom of God.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Mat 10:7)

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
(Luk 9:2)

…let us turn to Matt 19:23,24...

Ah, what a day! I cannot describe it … I can only say that God revealed Himself to me, and I had such an experience of His love that I had to ask Him to stay His hand.24

55 Of Drummond Murray writes:
Drummond appears to have departed from all the central doctrines of the faith, yet at his early death at the age of forty-five Moody spoke of him as the ‘most Christ-like man I ever met.’56

‘I hope,’ he exclaimed ‘to see the day when all bickering, division and party feeling will cease, and Roman Catholics will see eye to eye with Protestants in this work. Let us advance in a solid column – Roman Catholics, Protestants, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists – against the ranks of Satan’s emissaries.’ (59Findlay, American Evangelist, p. 248.)

The true church does not fight against Satan with those who are themselves the enemies of God. Nor does the true church help the false church to spread her errors. Yet, Moody "gave a handsome sum" to build a Roman Catholic church in his home town60 and on one occasion asked the Roman Catholic bishop of Chicago to pray for him!61

“Most people have some knowledge of the holocaust, the 6 years of torture and atrocities that the Jews suffered under Hitler and the Nazis during the Second World War. While in no way downplaying the terrible events of the holocaust, such a massacre does not compare to the severity to the torture and murder that took place under Papal authority during the 605 years of the Inquisition. From the beginning of the Papacy, until the present time, it is estimated by credible historians that more than 50,000,000, men and women have been slaughtered for the crime of heresy charged against them by Papal Rome.”
