Simply put the Kingdom of Heaven will all be spiritual beings (translated) and the kingdom of men (John et al) are physical, imperfect man.

Re: Why did Jesus said "even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater that John the Baptist"
because john the baptist is a picture of the highest you can be by following the law... what jesus is saying that of all the men that ever lived john the baptist is the one who came the closest to being saved by following the law .. but salvation comes from grace not from following the law and the least ( biggest sinner out of everyone who will be in heaven ) is saved by grace by the sacrifice of jesus christ not by what he did .

so the least person saved ( by grace) is greater than the person who most perfectly kept the law in the world ( john the baptist ).


btw john the baptist got saved by grace but he is an example of the best you can attain though keeping the law...

What bullshit. Nicean pseudo-Christianity really is an empty religion. Tell me, friend, when Jesus separates the goats from the sheep will it be according to faith or deeds/works?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59819760


Whoever remains in the teachings of love from Christ also remains in God. Who however leaves this teachings according to deed, also leaves God, and life is not in him. Who walks in the pureness of unconditional love , will not stumble and will harvest the true reward of eternal life. Knowledge alone does not provide blessing, only actions out of a good heart.


But actions exist twofold, actions for the world out of selfishness-and true actions in the world out of true love for God and neighbor. From the first action man yields judgment and the second death, but from the second action the love and mercy of God and everlasting life of the soul.

1 Corinthians 13
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

Re: Why did Jesus said "even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater that John the Baptist"
John the Baptist was a crazy homeless person who lived in the desert ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

Many of the early Catholic saints were hermits, monastaries were societies of hermits, yet these holy societies honored these people who lived lives of solitude and contemplation.

In todays world there is no where for a person like that to go really.

We really don't know how beautiful the world was in the so called dark ages, and we cannot contemplate how wicked the times we live in now are, we dont' have anyone to sincerely contemplate, they only write and speak when they are paid by satan.



The bible says, the tribulation will be a famine not of food, or a great time of material poverty. It says the tribulation will be a time of a great lack of spirituality and knowledge of goodness and god. Who could deny that this is that time spoken of? You are living in the tribulation, and the chaff is being blown away in the winds of sin.

He was the "greatest" in regards to following the law but Jesus also said that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than another who is expected to keep the law. Think the story of the prodigal also gives some pretty good insight into what he meant

The heresy above is preparing billions of so-called Christians for the soon coming wrath of God!

"Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." [Matt.11:11]

The above verse is comparing a prophet [John the Baptist] born to teach the Word of God on earth, with a prophet, after death, teaching the Word of God in the kingdom of heaven.

John the Baptist taught the Word on a natural level.

Those who teach the Word in heaven, teach it on a spiritual level.

And therefore a prophet in heaven, who has the least spiritual understanding of the Word, is greater than John the Baptist, who had a natural understanding of the Word.

The battle you are fighting against the wrong doctrine of saved by faith and grace only are a very difficult one. I have being shown by the Holy Spirit years ago that those caught in this wrong dogma are unable to understand because you have to have a degree of spiritual maturity to be able for the bringer of truth to work in a heart .

With other words the HS. can only work in a heart with a certain amount of love=light .Just as it was only the goodhearted person who heard God's word and steadily produced a huge harvest, (The parable of the farmer and the seed)

The truth is hidden to the proud and always revealed to the humble, the childlike (Luke 10:21)

Read the following post as the Holy Spirit has revealed much more to me that took me years to absorbed and understand.
