No, that is YOUR position MJ. My position is that the kingdom is NOT "
within them", as I have made abundantly clear in previous posts.

The only sign given to them was Christ being dead and literally rising again in 3 days, just as the literal experience of Jonah being in a big fish for 3 days. (
Lk 11:29)
Hmmm... isn't this "sign" talking about the fulfillment of the "allegory" (TYPE) called "
The Passover" the 1st of the 7 Annual Holyday TYPES?
Didn't Christ make that perfectly clear to these Pharisees when He was standing there "in their midst"?
Lk 17:25:
It should be clear, if one is being honest in the search for truth, that anything should not be taken out of context.
To ignore the context of Lk 17:21, IMO, is not being honest.
