Yeah, but Jesus was talking to the Pharisees when He said this. Jesus also said their father was the devil. You are still taking this scripture out of the context of what was meant by Jesus. He was among them when He said this. The context:
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. The Greek word ([entos you, among you]
Honestly, I don't read that the way you do.
That tells me that "observing" the scriptures (or anything else) isn't the way to heaven, individually or collectively
Says, very explicitly, that the kingdom of God is within you
Jesus does NOT qualify that in any way; He doesn't say "the kingdom of God is within (a particular group of people but not within others)."
