ArchivedKingdom buildingThe Christian Debate Forum on JCF is what is referred to as an apologetic forum on other message boards. Therefore if you want to discuss Kingdom Theology start your thread here. (Omega) wrote: What do I mean by Kingdom Building? Increasing the size of the Kingdom through evangelism, wouldn't more converts actually be an increase in the size of the Kingdom, since believers are part of the Kingdom? Evangelizing and leading the lost to Christ was my point, nothing more and nothing less. I can personally say that I am in the process of bringing in new converts, but at the same time am hindered by the enemy who comes in all shapes and sizes.
God and only God increases the Body of Christ: 1 Corinthians 3:1-9
3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? 4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. NAS
