Jesus' primary message was the Kingdom of God. Yet Paul didn't seem to speak about the Kingdom much. Did Paul have a different theological center? What's the connection between the Kingdom & Spirit?
Great post! I have always wondered if Paul’s emphasis on the “Lordship” of Christ was just him using a different term for the ‘Kingship’ of Jesus? Especially in light of the idea that Caesar (a King) was viewed as God/a god. Which is why the claim that “Jesus is Lord” was viewed as sedition (i.e., “If Jesus is Lord, then Caesar is not!”)
