Answer 2

Understand??? I think one of the things most people get caught up on is the "infallibility" of the Bible. We forget the the Bible is a collection of writings that have been collected from diaries, letters, poems, and songs that were written  so long ago that the translation and canonization process may very well have changed many of the texts original meanings. When "the Kingdom of Heaven is within us" was originally written, who knows its original context? I personally think that this as general as saying "peace comes from within"... Try and focus on the ideas rather then getting hung up on technicalities. I doubt the ones who originally wrote the texts had issues with understanding... instead, churches and religous groups find power in trying to prove they are the "rightest" by picking apart something to the extent they ruin the intent of the writing itself.
