Spiritualism: All in the Mind?

Spiritualists theorize that the Kingdom is just in the spiritual realm. They usually quote Luke 17:21 to claim the Kingdom is "within" people. Did Jesus really tell the Pharisees that his Kingdom was within their hearts? What did he actually tell them? How can his statement be harmonized with the rest of the Bible?

Fundamentalism - Earth to End?

Fundamentalists claim the Earth is to be destroyed. Is that scripturally correct? Why does Jesus say the meek shall inherit the Earth? And why do Scriptures say 'the Earth abideth forever'? Is there a difference between the end of the age and the end of the world? Why does the Bible predict interesting events that happen on the Earth after the "fire" of God's jealousy devours the planet?
