Subject: "Least in the kingdom of God"? |
Bible Note: Thanks.. While waiting for (more), I just wanted to tell for your first question: the point about which we agree is that we both have problems with the natural logic of Jesus' statement: if any man is the least in the kingdom, the only way His sentence can make sense is if John never gets there. But unlike you, I found that to be a dead-end, so to speak. ;-) Later, Zsuzsi |
