I may just be having a little brain "glych" here, but I can't remember if there is any scripture, twisted or otherwise that speaks of anybody "bringing forth the kingdom of God." I think it actually goes like this, I think Christ brings forth the church, rather than the church bringing forth the Kingdom of God. I am trying to remember, off hand, I googled it, and nothing there.
I remember another guy, Earl Paulk, a mega church guy with about as many followers as JRS had at one time, he said that "God can do NOTHING, unless a prophet speaks it into existence." Now that was believed by his followers for a while, even though just thinking for a few seconds, one will realize that God did PLENTY before there were any prophets alive on the face of the earth, which by the way was not there either, the earth I mean, and it did not take a prophet to create it.
I would like to know what scriptural reference could show me there is any validity of anybody bringing forth the kingdom. Just curious about that.
