Simply because that was what Jesus offered and taught, He gave his peace to his apostles and to all those who seek Him, if you are still waiting for true peace and true happiness, so that you can have them, well... then Jesus did not reach you.

Why does it seem that some are referencing a scripture that was translated improperly? Luke 17:21 has been proved to have been translated improperly so as to support the belief that the Kingdom is within. The NIV translated that scripture as: "nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst".


And why is the main theme of the Bible ignored?

Yes. What we see on earth is simply a manifestation of the collective consciousness. We are moving quickly towards peace (and happiness) on earth, as we become more aware of the outcomes of our intentions.

This is a global movement and is sometimes referred to as the Great Awakening. To support this movement, we need only to express as love, while being patient with the acceptance of the transition. We are learning. We are becoming more aware. And we can see the future of the planet evolving into its true state.

The evolved animal/ mammal, vs. the Spiritual. You tell me.
The organic within time and space... vs. that involved within the timeless.

Why don't you open your eyes, and confess the truth?

I see the opposite, more anger and less peace these days
That doesn't mean ultimately peace will be the outcome but it doesn't appear to be the way it's going right now

the internet is partly to blame for that. in 1807 you had to physically search for someone or something to be mad about, now days you can just click.
