Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. |

Because he taught rebellion against the LORD. |

Because he never lived to see the day God anointed believers to become BORN AGAIN {Act 2:1-4} as a faithful servant of God who lived with Christ he supposed to become a BORN AGAIN but died before then so he can't make heaven like 144,000 faithful servants of God who were his contemporaries! Revelations 14:1 So of all those who have lived before him as servants of God John the baptist is the greatest because he didn't just see the salvation by God (Jesus) but he is the one who cleared the way for Christ as well as sending his own disciples to be followers of Christ after baptizing the Christ. John 1:29, 36-37 All servants of God have longed to see all these things but they never did! Luke 2:25-30 |

John the Baptist taught rebellion against the LORD, this is why though Jesus acknowledged him as the greatest of all the prophets, he said in the kingdom of God his status will be very very low, he will be lower than the least person. This is because John the Baptist rebelled against the LORD and taught rebellion against Him |

Don't just reference the Bible, I dare you to quote your NWT directly here let everyone see the evil you bastards have done in mistranslating the Bible, of which you will have your recompense. You will have your reward ![]() Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: MaxInDHouse: |

MrPresident1:Because John was of the Old Covenant and not of the New Covenant which is Jesus Christ of Israel. John and all of the other prophets of Old were instead of a different Covenant — the Covenant of Moses of Israel — and therefore could not be and would not be judged by the same standard as those who are considered the least in the Kingdom of God of Israel — the New Covenant of Israel — would be judged. ![]() Basically, according to Jesus Christ of Israel both the greatest and the least in the Kingdom of God of Israel— the New Covenant — will be judged by the standard that He set. However, since John and others are less than the least, they are not subject to being judged by the New Covenant/The Kingdom of God of Israel. ![]() |

You are very stupid. Stupid people elaborating rubbish on what is written in plain English. John the Baptist rebelled against the LORD and he taught rebellion against the LORD Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: Kobojunkie: |

Jeremiah 29:31-32 King James Version 31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord. Shemaiah prophesied in the name of the LORD when the LORD had not sent him, he caused the people to trust in and believe in lies. John the Baptist and Shemaiah committed the same sin, they rebelled against the LORD, they prophesied in the name of the LORD when the LORD had not sent them. John the Baptist taught rebellion against the LORD. |

You see people like maxindhouse and kobojunkie etc., they teach rebellion against the LORD by their false teachings and doctrines, Jesus says that they will be the least kind of people in the kingdom of heaven, people who live in the farthest and furthest fringes. What could John the Baptist have done to deserve this kind of judgment against him? Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: He was not only breaking the commandment to love the LORD our God above all and to lover your neighbour as yourself, John the Baptist was also actively teaching against the LORD |

MrPresident1:If you don't want this it's OK i'm just here to help Jesus said John is greater than all the prophets before his time but in the Kingdom of heaven John is not even fit to be the least this means John's work is great before God but when talking about those who are going to rule with Jesus in heaven John is not qualified. It's as simple as that! |

MrPresident1:Where in the Bible was John the baptist TEACHING AGAINST God or Jesus? Please quote the scriptures and let people see. Thank you! |

Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. These are the verses. John the Baptist was actively breaking the LORD'S commandments and teaching rebellion to the people of God. Anyone who does this shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. In the case of John the Baptist, he is even going to be lower than the least, because his own rebellion was the more evil wicked and most insidious kind. MaxInDHouse: |

MrPresident1:Here is what John the Baptist taught his people as described according to Matthew 3:1-3, In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!" 3 For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said: A voice of one crying out in the wilderness: "Prepare the way for the Lord; make His paths. John the Baptist taught people about repentance, moral life, kingdom of heaven,holy Spirit and baptism which are in agreement with Jesus Christ's teaching. Mrpresident can you show us from the scriptures where John the Baptist teaches rebellion against the teachings of Christ Jesus. |

Maxindhouse is fond of using alternates. There is no doubt that John the Baptist is the greatest of all the prophets, Jesus said it himself. But the greatest prophet of all times will be less than least in the kingdom of heaven. Why is he going to be less than least in the kingdom of heaven when he is supposed to be very high ranking in the kingdom of heaven? Does the Bible not say that those who turn people to righteousness shall shine as the stars for ever? Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Why is John the Baptist's case different from that of all the prophets why is he the greatest who is going to be less than least? He broke the commandments and thought men rebellion against the LORD.

When you obey the Law and you are teaching people to obey the Law, to fear God and to do his commandments, the LORD has promised you humongous blessings in his coming kingdom, the LORD says such one will be like the stars shining forever and ever. The LORD says righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people, but how shall they learn righteousness when the pastors he has sent are teaching unrighteousness? This is rebellion against the LORD. Rebellion against the LORD is to break the commandments of the LORD and actively teach men to do so. We see such active rebellious persons here, they break the commandments and teach falsehoods, they have hardened themselves against the LORD and they have refused to repent. The LORD says that those who break his commandments and actively teach men to do so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven- this is assuming that they are lineage or ethnic Israel because all Israel will be saved. But if they are not ethnic or lineage Israel, but lineage Gentiles who have delighted in teaching falsehoods, that's hellfire straight, they didn't receive the gospel and they worked actively and assidously against it, hellfire direct. Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: |

See the underlined in the comment above and compare with the underlined here Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. John the Baptist shall be lower than the people who break the commandments and who actively encourage and teach rebellion against the law and commandments of the LORD. For example, we all know that people like maxindhouse and kobojunkie are expert promoters of rebellion against the LORD through purveying of satanic falsehoods all over the place. Now, assuming that they are ethnic or lineage Israel, they will come into the kingdom of heaven, but they will be the regberegbe people of the kingdom, the least favoured, living in the fringes, barely making it into the kingdom by the skin of their teeth. But you see John the Baptist, he will be lower than them. |

Let us examine prophets who broke the commandments and actively taught men to break them and how they ended. These men rebelled against the LORD and actively promoted rebellion against him by hardening the hearts of the people, making them to trust in lies and falsehoods. These men actively promoted idolatry against the LORD Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet Jeremiah 28 Ahab the son of Kolaiah Jeremiah 29 Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah Jeremiah 29 Shemaiah the Nehelamite Jeremiah 29 Take note that all these men were prophets and diviners but they erred and made the people to trust in falsehoods and in lies to disbelieve the true prophets and prophecies of the LORD, and to give them confidence in their wrong doings Jeremiah 29:8-9 King James Version 8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord. The LORD had pronounced evil against Jerusalem and Judah but these men actively encouraged the people to discard the prophecies of Jeremiah and to trust in lies and wantonness so that they did not depart from their wickedness. Jeremiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord. Jeremiah 29:32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord. |

What is rebellion against the LORD? Is it not to break His commandments? Is it not a worst kind to not only be a breaker of the commandments but also to be an active promoter of disobedience to the LORD? |
| Re: Why Is John The Baptist Less Than The Least In The Kingdom Of Heaven? by MrPresident1(op): 10:52pm On Jan 25, 2025 |
If you do the commandments and teach men to obey them, you will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. If you break the commandments and teach men to break them you will be called least in the kingdom of heaven What did John the Baptist do to warrant this judgment? He must have done really bad things. He is ranked lower than transgressors |
