The building of His [b]church and the New Jerusalem as the enlargement and extension of the church, is critical.
"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18)
Christ the Godman carries out the eter ...[text shortened]... round and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies it bears much fruit." (John 12:24) [/b] [/quote][/b]
Eliminating sin and evil will build the body of Christ / Church.
The Body of Christ enters the New Jerusalem [also called the bride of Christ in Revelation]
Hence this verse in the bible where those who follow the commandments will enter the city:
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Revelation 22:14-15 KJV)

God is King during the millennium. In fact Psalm 10 says that Jehovah is King forever and ever.
"Jehovah is King forever and ever; " (Psalm 10:16a)
And the Son's throne is forever and ever.
"But of the Son, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever ..." (Heb. 8:1a compare Psalm 45:6)
Back to the Arian drawing board.
Back to the Charles Russell-ite drawing board.

You've been a rocking chair skeptic glibly firing off questions for a good while.
Put in some labor defining your terms and I'll labor to give an answer to:
Are you a better Christian than Charles Russell was?

Your doctrine of a temporary reigning Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is near blasphemy.

Stick with mine which requires some labor from you.
You seem like the kind of person who, when visiting someone's house, likes to go immediately hang around the bathroom to smell things.
That way you can always go out and spread around how that house stinks.
All your questions along the lines of "Did you blow it here? Did you blow it there?" are like you hunting for bad odors. Maybe if you didn't hang around the bathroom all the time things might smell better.
