"Every single day in the Lord's Prayer, Christians pray ‘Thy kingdom come,’” Smith said. “But as long as we are praying that, it's not here."

Staggering retardation from a Biblical scholar. The next line of the prayer is "Thy will be done." Because we're praying that, does it mean God's will isn't happening, hasn't happened?

He rags on literal interpretation of apocalypse (and a lot of literalists need to be mocked some), but the primary non-literal interpretation is that Christ ushered in the Kingdom two thousand years ago. The Kingdom, in this sense, is in the heart of every son of God in Christ. If Armageddon isn't a literal future battle, then Jesus founded the Kingdom, and then told everyone to pray as the prayer this retard is misconstruing.
