I guess he never read any of Paul’s writings about who would inherit the Kingdom of God.
********************************
Jesus taught that the “Kingdom” of God is a position here on earth. It’s not a place in the heavens. I imagine there are plenty of God-fearing Christians that fail to find it, seeing that many have no idea what it is

Take up your argument with Paul and ultimately, the Holy Spirit. I am just the cut-and-paster.

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were never sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

The kingdom of God is a central concept in the teachings of Jesus. It refers to the reign and rule of God in heaven and on earth. It is a place of peace, love, and justice, where God’s will is done and his glory is revealed

I seem to recall reading, near the end of the Book, that a fella named JOHN wrote that there was going to be a NEW earth - that this old one is going away.


Revelation 11:15

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.”


Revelation 21:1 niv

Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Revelation 21:27

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
