Final Thoughts
The kingdom of heaven advances with love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, grace, and mercy. When we set up restrictions, walls, fences, regulations, boundaries, and creeds, based on our Religious beliefs and rituals, which are designed to keep people “believers”, in line but make it difficult for “unbelievers” come in, we are not advancing Spiritual Truth of the kingdom of God, but rather advancing Religious beliefs, which is limiting.
