I don't disagree with anything written here. "The Kingdom of God" and "Heaven" can be two different things. The former can refer to this world: doing as God wants people to do while in this world. On the other hand, Jesus did say that no one will enter Heaven who does not enter into God's Kingdom while in this world. I would also say that all that anti-stuff in 'Christian' religions comes from Paul, not Jesus. Jesus taught that what is truly in our hearts is revealed by how we that other people--and that all else is beside the point.
