The Kingdom of Heaven is only entered by one at a time. And through the Door which is Jesus just like Miknik is saying.
The Kingdom of God, that which is within...is what we guard, or guarding our heart. I would think that this is more what violent men in opposition to us here on earth would be battering at. At us.
We see a religion taking the Christians now in other countries...cutting off heads...but they cannot keep them from the Kingdom of Heaven, nor can they enter. And it has been this way since the beginning. First to the Jews, and now to us.
Sorry..but I can't accept this yet the way that most Pentecostals do. I need more understanding and will continue to see this Gods way..if wrong.
Meggido...going to pick on you since I feel I can get away with it more likely than others.
Have you ever been in a meeting where the call is to come up front where the river is flowing...and suddenly a horde of people are thundering practically over top of you to get there before anyone else?
People have been hurt this way. This is what I see when I read this scripture.
