Islam vs. Christianity
As the Islam religion presents a kingdom that is merely external, coercive, and statist, many Christians make the opposite mistake and assume the kingdom of God is nothing but an internal, spiritual, and immaterial reality.
Kevin Swanson contrasts perspectives on kingdom on this issue of the Generations radio broadcast. Taking issue with a perspective from the Protestant Reformation that distinguishes a worldly kingdom from a spiritual kingdom, he points out that Jesus intends for us to actually keep His commandments, and teach others to do so in all nations, institutions, and human relationships. He argues that there is a battle between two kingdoms and we battle over every square inch of this world's territory.
