«A PARALLEL BIBLE STUDY»
THE KINGDOM OF GOD & THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN - ARE THEY THE SAME?
"Some scholars have tried to distinguish between the kingdom of heaven
and the kingdom of God, but there is severe difficulty with this. A compar-
ison of Jesus' teaching regarding the kingdom of heaven and the the kingdom
of God shows that at the same places and same times He said the same things
about both. They are simply two phrases for one concept." ²
