Question 1 Report

Mathew , the evangelist, preferred the phrase Kingdom of heaven to Kingdom of God because
Answer Details
The reason why Mathew, the evangelist, preferred the phrase "Kingdom of heaven" over "Kingdom of God" is because he was a Jew and wanted to avoid saying the name of God out of respect. Therefore, instead of using the word "God," he used the word "heaven" to refer to the same thing. This was a common practice among Jews at that time. Additionally, Matthew was writing to a predominantly Jewish audience who would have understood this convention.
