Not exactly right. Nobody under law is in the kingdom of heaven, and he is
speaking about those in the kingdom of heaven. I think we agree that
righteousness does not come from the law.
Kingdom Theology is clearly not your strong suit, David. Christ Himself was under the Law. Kingdom theology has everything to do with God's rule and sovereignty in the lives of those who would chose to follow him -- without regard to physical complications ("man made traditions - liturgical settings -- levitical practices --- that sort of thing.)
