General & Others One Piece is by far one of the best pieces of literature yet

James 1:12

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.



The crown of life is not the crown of righteousness, because they're called two different things


For example, the Bible talks about the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, but they are both two different things


Kingdom of heaven is a physical kingdom on the earth

Kingdom of God is peace and joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost

There are multiple crowns mentioned
Are you Catholic/Protestant/Orthodox?
 
Ladies and gentlemen, this exactly why you don't open your mouth if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

"So, I'm not a medic, but you have cancer." Ahh conversation
Made me laugh

But I did read old literature and I made my argument as to why


Reading Shakespeare, even if you get some nice plot, which is a maybe since it's such an older story, is just you sitting there reading it, getting a wow moment from time to time


That doesn't compare with the experience of weekly one piece, online forums, videos, social media, agenda piece, etc

Hey man, that's not talking about salvation


Those are rewards at the judgement seat of Christ, 5 different crowns are mentioned I think




Keep in mind Corinthians is written to christians, so this is a judgement for christians:




2 Corinthians 5:10

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.




1 Corinthians 3:13-15

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Also in Revelation it's said Jesus Christ has eyes as a flame of fire, that's why it says "the fire shall try every man's work"
I disagree, with you, I explaned by using Holy Script. I don't believe that Kingdom of Christ and God's Kingdom are different things.
I will not watch any video on this theme, since it's something that Jesus said to be aware of. I can talk with you on the topic of what Kingdom means, but this shouldn't happen in a One Piece-related thread.
Overall, don't forget what Paul said about the importance of Faith, while Jacob said that Faith should be confirmed by your own dids, meaning that you have to live a life based on listening to God's orders, because you can fool yourself.

As for the Kingdom, meaning you should read this:

Daniel 2:44

In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever

This is the Judgement Day, or Armageddon. After that time, the Kingdom will rule the world, as Revelation said. This was also confirmed by every part of the Script that I used in my post.

Should we talk about it in the religion thread or make a thread about it specifically? If you want to talk about it that is


But the thing is, your verses show there is a physical kingdom on the earth


True


That's what is reffered to as the kingdom of heaven in the Bible



But then there's also the kingdom of God




Romans 14:17

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”




That's why there's the kingdom of heaven, physical kingdom, Jesus ruling 1000 years from Israel, and kingdom of God, spiritual kingdom



Kingdom of x. God and heaven are two different terms, and the Bible uses them to talk about two different things

I didn't have time to answer your question.
If you want to talk about religion, better DM me.

Speaking about God's/Christ Kingdom, look at these words:

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15: 24-28

You can see clear paralels between Kingdom of the God, that Daniel was talking about and Christ Kingdom. This is why it is clear that Kingdom of God and Christ is the very same thing.

Now, if you look on this words:

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Revelation 5:10
You can understand that Kingdom of the God, is the God's reign, where he chose rulers: Christ and his Wife(body) who will rule on Earth, untill Revelation 21:4 became true when Death will dissapear. Because - last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Then and only then Christ will deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father.
That also will be called as God's Kingdom, because overall ruller change by name only, since Christ will accomplish his Father will. But that will be absolutely different era:

Rev 21:3-8

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
