OK, so what is your understanding or concept of the Kingdom of Heaven? (doctrine, preach)

The whole point of Christ's death was NOT to fear death because it is actually a birth - a rebirth of our consciousness as a Spirit in a spiritual body.
We have a spiritual body already and a physical one.
It is not about interpreting it but proclaiming it. God interprets it to those who serve Him.
"Those who genuinely worship the Father worship Him in spirit and in truth. "
"If anyone does believe they render the truth of God."
"If you continue in my word you are truly my disciple then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

However, I have no doubt, same modus operandi. And refuses to engage those with discernment.

Well, I always had a fondness for PG, so it doesn't bother me if he's PG's Twin.
Are you afraid of death, if not, then you have overcome it.
You don't overcome it by not fearing it, men are in bondage to the fear of death (fear of dying to self) ALL of their days. It requires a NEW day, and that day has not come fully yet, but is dawning. Christ in you, the hope of glory, you in Christ is the glory, G-d will not give His glory unto another image, only to the SON, and HE has overcome death. That which is here already, is not hoped for, else it is not of hope. Peace
Have you EVER gotten Peacegiver to explain anything like that?
PG, as I recall, is convinced that repeating Jesus' words, is what makes him one with the Father. I don't recall him ever explaining anything else beyond that. I'm not entirely sure if he wants others to be one with God, too, or if he just wants people to know that he is. Whichever it is, I've come to the conclusion that just typing the words out here gives him a sense of importance and value. I don't want to stand in the way of that, because maybe he needs that right now (and, of course, it's true that he is valuable and important). And, personally, I like to think that he comes here to connect with others in some way.
Or, maybe I'm reading him all wrong about every bit of that. That's entirely possible.

Sorry to sidetrack a bit, but just had to mention something. The bold above is an example of one of those glimpses of the kingdom of heaven. An example of loving your neighbor. Seeing others as fellow sojourners and looking for ways to connect and understand them. Just had to point that out. We (I) don't always do that, but we should try to do that as much as possible. I appreciate the reminder.
