Not the spanking you had in mind is it.
How do you interpret the statement from Matthew 5:19? Does this mean that those who "annul" any of the commandments will still go to heaven, but be in some kind of subordinate or lesser position? Does this imply a caste system in heaven? Or is he referring to judgment from on high? (ie, he shall be called least [by those who are] in the kingdom of heaven)

The only ones going to heaven are those who believe in Christ as their savior and in heaven there will be no class of people, not as we understand it. For those in heaven to think of others as lower than themselves would be to judge, this would be sinful and sin will not be in heaven. God is the only judge, when the finial judgement is over there will be no need for further judgement, judgement comes because of sin and like I said above there will be no more sin. Saying all this I still have not answered your question about the kingdom of heaven, I gave this to show that Matt. 5:19 was not about the finial destination of the saved. I as one of the saved am already in the kingdom of heaven and have been a teacher of God's word, this is what Matt. 5:19 is about, the here and now.

Sorry to just pop in here, no intention of derailing the thread.
Glad things are good for you G-C

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
