Exodus 19:5–6

We are God's special people, treasures, putting God on display.

If connection is so key, we should see it in all facets of Scripture: the Law, the Prophets, the Writings, the Gospels, Acts, and the Letters.

Genesis 2:18 

     First human crisis in scripture, this is about relationship.

Kingdom of God - AV References to, verse list.

Kingdom of God
I have been studying on the topic of kingdom of  God off-and-on over the last couple of years. I am importing some of this to the blog in order to work on some of the mechanics of NETBibleTagger. I am just learning what the tagger recognizes and what I have to reformat so it works right.
Also I like to be able to see my bible studies on the Blog because I find them a little more readable there than within the DOS bible program that I use for my studies.

 1. The expression "Kingdom of God" as its used throughout the new testament.

Found 5 Times in Matthew
Mt 6:33 In the context of this verse Mt 6:19-34 we are told that we should not place our values in those things which we can accumulate here on earth. We are to invest in an eternal account. In verse 24 we see that finances can turn us away from God. In Mt 6:31,32 We are told to not worry about nor pursue what we will eat, drink, or wear. "For after all these things do the Gentiles seek." Gentiles sometime translated "pagans."
Mt 12:28; 19:24; 21:31,43

Found 15 Times in Mark
Mark 1:14,15; 4:11,26,30; 9:1,47; 10:14,15,23,24,25; 12:34; 14:25
Mark 15:43

Found 32 Times in Luke
Luke 4:43; 6:20; 7:28; 8:1,10; 9:2,11,27,60,62; 10:9,11; 11:20; 12:31
Luke 13:18,20,28,29; 14:15; 16:16; 17:20,21; 18:16,17,24,25,29; 19:11
Luke 21:31; 22:16,18; 23:51

Found 2 Times in John
John 3:3,5

Found 7 Times in Acts
Acts 1:3; 8:12; 14:22; 19:8; 20:25; 28:23,31

Found 1 Times in Romans
Rom 14:17

Found 4 Times in 1 Corinthians
1 Cor 4:20; 6:9,10; 15:50

Found 5 Times in Galatians
Gal 5:21

Found 5 Times in Colossians
Col 4:11
= 1

Found 1 Time in 2 Thessalonians
2 Thes 1:5

Total references: 69

Mark 1:14,15
Luk 4:43

For further study:
 2. "Kingdom of Christ" Mt 13:41; 20:21
 3. "Kingdom of Christ and of God" Eph 5:5
 4. "Kingdom of David" Mark 11:10
 5. "The kingdom" Mt 8:12; 13:19
 6. "Kingdom of heaven" Mt 3:2; 4:17; 13:41

All of these phrases refer to the same thing however seem to denote different aspects

Starting to add tools to my bible study... (briefly on tithing)

I am starting an experiment in which I am planning on using Blogger to post my notes about whatever I am currently studying and as I endeavor to understand my own journey in life in Christ which I have committed to.
I tend to study with the only objective as to resolve my own issues which arise from time to time, but sometimes I find that I am not ready to defend what I have believed. But as I read the bible I am reminded that we are to be ready (1 Peter 3:15) to give an answer...
The project this night is to streamline my text by not having to copy the entire text into my blog. From now on I will be able to give a reference to a scripture and have it show the quote in a pop out balloon. I have it working now, but it doesn't seem to work with the mobile app version of the blog.
For the first new post am going to add some verses which I alluded to Sunday night in a Care Group meeting. I made a statement in Care Group last week that the absence of the teaching of tithing in the new testament with the exception of passages where the Jewish congregation was being spoken to was a "conspicuous absence" and in itself demonstrates that God was not extending this teaching to non-Jews.
Here are some examples. Note that God is directing these passages to the Jews. Also note that these references are at the time of Christ in the Gospels, or in the history of Israel, as in verses found in Hebrews. This is not an exhaustive study only a few verses. I may actually start a more in depth look at this as a doctrine someday.

Mat 23:23
Luk 11:42
Luk 18:12
Heb 7:2,4,5,6,8,9,10
