    Jesse - In Reply on Matthew 5 - 2 years ago
    Dennis,

    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.
