FTA "Christ died a sacrificial death on the Cross to pay the price for our sin and break its power in our lives...Jesus explained the kingdom of heaven was only open to those born of the Spirit who look in faith to Christ, their Kinsman-Redeemer. He explained that when Moses lifted up a brass serpent on a pole in the wilderness to heal all who believed, it was a type of Himself, the Son of Man Who would also be lifted ups a sacrifice for sin, and that ALL who believe on Him would be healed, declared righteous, and live eternally."
The Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God are not the same. A careful reading comparing the two kingdoms will show that the Kingdom of Heaven is a physical kingdom, whereas the Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom. This distinction will clear up a lot of the seemingly contradictory messages.
John 3:5
“Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”
Not sure about that. A "careful reading" of Jesus's usage of the two terms seems like He uses them interchangeably (Matthew 19:23&24, for example). Other examples are listed here: https://www.gotquestions.org/kingdom-heaven-God.html
Thank you for posting this chapter. God truly does "declare the end from the beginning". This passage and Psalm 22 are two of the most detailed and significant prophecies of Jesus's incarnation and work of salvation. All glory be to His holy name!
I am so grateful for my salvation for this holiday season. God has brought me so far in this last year, I never thought I could actually be content or happy, since I’ve dealt with depression, my entire life.
So glad to hear God has been at work in your life! I've struggled with depression myself and know it is such a wonderful feeling when He lifts that burden. Praise the Lord!🙏

Feel free to compare the 2 yourself; unless your theology is contingent upon both being the same, it becomes evident that the 2 are different.
The greatest gift to Mankind……praise God, his son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit….amen
