In this episode of the House of David podcast, Gabi and Pastor Eric examine the nature of the Kingdom of God, emphasizing its dual spiritual and material aspects. Pastor Eric explains Gnosticism and its impact on Christian theology, highlighting its dualistic view that considers the material world evil and only the spiritual realm good. He counters this by affirming the necessity of the physical resurrection, as demonstrated by Jesus' bodily resurrection. The conversation extends to the future Kingdom, where both the material and spiritual realms will be united, reflecting God's original creation. Pastor Eric and Gabi discuss the transformation of believers' bodies in the resurrection, becoming both physically and spiritually perfect. They explore the Trinity's role in creation and redemption, stressing that God's ultimate plan is to unite the spiritual and material realms, culminating in His eternal Kingdom. They conclude by emphasizing that believers should not seek to escape the material world but look forward to Christ's return and the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth, where the spiritual and physical will be harmoniously united.
