The Worst Opening Line to Starting a New Religion

The question of what this kingdom is, is a central theme of the gospel of Matthew. The idea that somehow the kingdom of God is a cosmic transaction where we put in a certain amount and then there are just ludicrous interest payouts That's nonsense. It's not what we're going to see here at all. And so instead they have found ways to just flip around at the whole message of Jesus and the Bible by saying blessed are the rich in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
