The Kingdom of Heaven -- Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.

Jesus was trying to spread a simple universal truth that would bring utopia on earth if it were followed by even a small number of people (just a few thousand in any major city would cause a domino effect).

Step 1: Accept Jesus as the 'way, the truth, the light' -- that is, the template for the perfect man or woman. Whether we view him as historical, fictional, or otherwise. Accept the character of Jesus as you see him, to be your inspiration in all things. Try to become like Jesus in every way you can. Accept that you were not perfect, but by trying to be more like him, you can become perfect, or near perfect.

Step 2: follow his teachings: forgive everyone around you, care for the poor, treat all with perfect, selfless, love.

Step 3: (the most important part) -- Treat *everyone* exactly as you would want to be treated. Every single person you encounter, try to think -- if I were that person, what would I want to hear? What would I want someone to say to me? What would I want someone to do for me? What would I want someone to give me? How would I want to be treated? Whether love, advice, food, housing, work, friends, approval, acceptance.... Do that.

Step 4: Do not judge anyone for anything. No hate, no disapproval, absolutely no judgement. If anyone offends you or hurts you, forgive them, unconditionally, every time.

Step 4: Congregate (hang out with) those that are like minded ('Christians' -- although the vast majority so called today are not.) Attempt to guide each other in ways to better spread the Good News ('gospel') of this possible, attainable paradise on earth. And invite more people to join your way of life.

This is true Christianity. Completely forgotten.

Let me ask you this... if somewhere in LA, NYC, or London, there were a group of even 100 people who all the world knew would treat anyone *exactly* how they want to be treated, no matter their creed, race, orientation, views, etc. How quickly would they grow? From the disaffected, the poor, the starving, the addicted, the mentally unwell, ... come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden. If there were one community on this miserable planet where all were treated with love, dignity, respect, complete selflessness, unlimited support and guidance in all things (spiritual, emotional, physical, mental). How fast would such a group grow? Would it not envelope the world overnight?

When, where, how will this be seen? Will it be your or I who starts this? Let it happen now. Where two or three are gathered in his name (It only takes 2 or 3 with that purpose to start the snowball effect), I will be there in the midst. (Three people trying on every conscious and subconscious level to channel the Son of God, and the Son of Man -- which are one -- at all times... you better believe you can feel the divinity of christ in their midst)

Our father who art in heaven (Our creator, who is [in] the universe)
Hallowed be thy name (Sacred is you/your identity)
Thy Kingdom come (Your kingdom -- the rule of love and unity -- come to us, be within us)
Thy will be done (Let divine love and unity rule)
On earth as it is in heaven (Amongst humanity, like it is in the divine order)
Give us this day our daily bread (The only thing humans need other than fellowship and love of our brothers/sisters)
Forgive us of our trespasses (Let us not suffer karmically for our misdeeds)
As we forgive those who tresspass against us (Because we do not hold others to that karmic rule, but forgive all unconditionally)
Lead us not into temptation (Keep us away from temptation to anger, selfishness, greed, etc.)
But deliver us from evil (Provide ways for us to become closer to the divine, higher christ like self.)
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory (All that is achieved by Christendom if it ever exists was achieved by the word of christ and his few true followers)
For ever and ever amen.

All it takes is two or three with the right belief, and the fearlessness that Christ had to spread it with no judgement, no fear, no hate. Just love and the exaltation to spread true love of all mankind.

I would like to suggest you look at the Greek words behind the above passage and see that the word is not "trespasses" - it is "debt or that which is owed".

One of the Kingdom of Heaven parables explains that words spoken are debt. But again, you'll need to look at the Greek to see how they have been mistranslated to our detriment.

Thanks for the kind words.

Does it matter if we are Atheist, Agnostic, Muslim, Buddhist, or anything else?

Is not this a way of life that any could follow that transcends creed, nation, race, politics?

Where are the real Christians? Who dares to shine a light for one who sacrificed his own life for this cause?

Millions march for or against abortion, church and state, wealth distribution, political parties. Where are those millions marching for that one truth -- love thy neighour as theyself?

Where are the Christian missionaries serving fearlessly in Iraq and Syria where the gospel is needed most?

Who dares to spread the good news to the disaffected or isolated kids who join ISIS? Or dare to pray and give last rites to those dying of Ebola?

Where are the militant christians -- those willing to die for that one universal truth: love all as you would be loved. As Christ loved his friends, his brothers, enough to die just to pass on a message from above.

Yes OP, it does matter. What good would it do if we all followed Jesus' sayings, but served another God? Jesus is THE way... not a way, but the ONLY way. Yes, is would be great if we all followed Christ' saying, but it would be even better if we all came to Jesus for the forgiveness of sin and our eternal salvation.
