The answer is that there is no difference between kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God. Matthew used the term "kingdom of heaven" 32 times. Nobody else used it. Please keep in mind that Matthew's gospel was written to the Jews. This is important in understanding why Matthew would use the term kingdom of heaven.
The reason Matthew used kingdom of heaven was because the Jews don't say the name "God." So instead of "Kingdom of God" they say "Kingdom of Heaven." And when the Jews say Heaven it is capitalized. Or, they will say the "Kingdom of The Name," (HA SHEM). God is "The Name." But they will not say the word God.
So, "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Kingdom of God" are the same phrases. One phrase is Gentile and one phrase is Jewish. I hope this answers the question.
1) The first day of the week is Sunday, making the 7th day--the day of rest--Saturday aka the Sabbath, which we are to remember and keep holy. Further, that from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday, we are to rest and do no practical "work". The Lord rested on the 7th day, which in our day, is Saturday. Do you believe and witness that Christians are observing the Sabbath and keeping it Holy? If not, why not?
2) Regarding the Lord's Prayer, I am of the belief that the Lord would never tempt us. It says so in James. Ergo, we need not pray that He, "Lead us not into temptation" but rather, "Lead us OUT of temptation." Perhaps over 2000 years of bible translation, "out" was mistakenly transcribed as "not". Just a thought. But it is how I recite the Lord's Prayer now. This subject was brought to my attention by the pope, not that I heed anything he might say; but this happens to ring true for me.
3) The word "catholic" is nowhere to be found in the bible. When we pray, "I believe in the Holy Christian Church", yet Rome prays, "I believe in the Holy Catholic Church," then Rome indeed has changed the Word of God to comply with the doctrine of a mere man. Most of the laws of Judaism are man ordained and are not in the Bible. The Pharisees even chastised Jesus when he and his disciples ate wheat before they, "washed their hands." Dear Lord, the arrogance and nerve.
4) When I say the Apostles' Creed, I have begun recently to say, "...he descended into Hell; on the third day is rose ANEW from the dead and ascended into Heaven," because indeed Jesus did not die twice and cannot "rise" AGAIN. This may just be semantics on my part since "again" does not necessarily mean twice. Thoughts?
Thank you for this opportunity. This website was suggested to me by David Jeremiah at Turning Point Ministries...after I barraged his pastormail with many questions! They still answer my email..they are good.

......But when James and John wanted to call down fire from heaven and destroy the Samaritians.....Jesus rebuked them saying the Son of MAN came not to destroy mens lives but to save mens lives...you know what manner of Sprit you are of.....For we, war not against flesh and Blood but against principalites and powers and spritual wickness in high places.....THerefore take unto you the whole armor of God.....Which is the H.G....Read Eph 6 : 12 kjv
"For if the blood of goats could take away sin there would not be a need to enter in a second time!
the only thing that protects us from the Holy Wrath of God is the precious blood of Jesus, after that everything is accurate
"If you would be shy of me, I would be shy of you in front of my father"
All sinners saved by Grace, our only defense " The Blood of the Lamb of God"!
Yet, I wonder how that would change our thinking & appreciation of the texts, if we did learn that Matthew, Mark & Luke weren't the actual authors. How ever the Gospels were compiled, whether by others, word-of-mouth, or from fragments of notes, the message remains consistent throughout, in spite of some differences, additions & omissions (which would be expected). Considering the passage of time since Jesus walked on Earth & submitted Himself to His Father in life & death, what we have in our hands now is quite remarkable, with their accounts bringing many to realization of their sinful condition & giving great joy & hope to those now In Christ. Every blessing.
Realistically, it would take time to slay a 200 million man army + Antichrist's army. More than a day. I can't think of Jesus chopping off heads, arms or legs.
I'm just thinking that the Ark will be on the battlefield. It will be opened and his enemies will drop dead.
Revelation Chapter 11
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ARK of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
I just have to go with what I know about our Lord. He's not a butcher. He's the King of kings; Lord of lords. We'll be there too, so however it goes down, we'll be part of it. Mishael
Thank you most kindly for your message. I was commenting in response to the numerous comments made regarding the interpretation/understanding of Proverbs 3:18. Not any one in particular. I understand the interpretation is to the reader/church fellowship is to each's own. However, when the reader/church fellowship imposes his/her interpretation as the only way to be and that they are the only true Christians or Saved People there is a problem.
Going back to Proverbs 3:18. Good you mentioned Islam. The Tree of Life has a very Sacred meaning to people of the Middle East especially to the Jews and the Muslims .There is no misunderstanding of she, The Tree of Life and what she represents.
Also, There are few questions of who wrote the Hebrew Scriptures. However, The New Testaments of Matthew. Mark, Luke and John were not written by their name sakes. These books were told several times before being written by different people many years later. This has been verified by scholors and archeological groups. It is nonsense to use suc text from unknown authors to go back and redefine texts written by such a well known Author as King Solomon of Jerusalem and Palmyra.
PEACE BE UPON YOU CHRIS
FROM KRISTINA
Think of good deeds and do good to all.
And allow for anger. As Blessed Paul says.
Also, be extremely patient with everyone you meet along the way. They may also have the right to the riddle of life and our Savior.
Thank you for being all in my life, I thank God for you every day.
Be blessed with words from Luke 2 chapter. Love u all in Christ
Have a nice day under the sun in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. With word from Luke chapter 2.
The Angels were made before God created the earth, as it says I'm Job
Love,

Even in Islam & most religions, you won't find perfect agreement on everything written in their books. So, as Christians, we are cast upon the Lord & the Spirit He has given us to make His Word clear & precious to our hearts. Maybe if you specified a particular verse or passage, giving us your meaning of it, so that we can consider it & comment. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to know exactly the purpose behind what you have presented, hence no one has been able to respond to you.
