(CP-9) What needs to be done to establish the Kingdom

The Kingdom of God can be established on earth--after 2 thousand years!

There's only one institution that needs to be in place; and that Jesus would have agreed to, but not St. Paul.

That's the role of the mediator in the Kingdom.  What is that role?  I've wrestled with understanding the Gospels; and I know what it is and I know how important it is, but I know I've convince very few Christians.

You have to be a mediator among your community; and that means you have you to defend the Faith when dissension breaks out.  It may seem a small matter.  St. Paul says some say you are this brother; others say you are that brother; but the importance is you are both of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection.

In the Kingdom of God we are each and every Godlike.  And that means we carry with us the sign of the Cross, that we are dedicated to the Kingdom; and will excel in doing what we have to do to keep the Kingdom of believers together.  If there's ever a moment of dissension, each of us must bear the burden of squashing it.  We must not allow any dissension--I know we like dissension for reasons of debate--but there's no debate here; we must help our brethren.

The role of the mediator has been developed in the social sciences; and it is not my stay to lecture about it.  That is all that Christianity is about to keep the Kingdom alive and well.  You will see the value of Christian love in the community, if only you do as told, as your plan given by God directs you to live.

This concludes the Christian Pragmatics (CP) theme.  It is offered as a sketch of Christianity's importance to Western Culture today.
