This is just a chance to dig up some of that good Bible knowledge and understanding - just for fun!
There is a possibility of 2 answers on this one. I won't give a thumbs down - not even for disrespectful or otherwise ludicrous answers - because that's just not my style, but I will give a thumbs up to answers that have part or all of the answer.

Hi Depp. That was actually Matthew 5:19 you were quoting, and I hadn't actually caught that before about being called great in the Kingdom of God by keeping all the commandments. Thanks for bringing my attention to this! I was referring, specifically, to those whom Jesus said would be considered great-est in the Kingdom of God with a possibility of 2 answers that I was looking for. But you are right. I was actually hoping that this question would point out some other examples that I hadn't seen before, so I do thank you for bringing that to my attention. :)
For the record, only one of the 2 answers have been brought out so far.

The first in the kingdom are those that are last on earth. The humble especially. Children are also said to be first in the kingdom of Heaven, due to the humility that most children, especially Christian children display.

Matthew 5:10
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

depends on who you ask...
it could be
Shekinah
or
Jesus
or
God
or
Allah
or
....a trick question, as there is no comparisons in heaven; those
"souls" that make it there are subsumed into the totality of the godhead
or
Marduk
or
Ahura Mazda
or
Brahma
or
Buddha
.....there are considerably more than 2 legitimate answers; assuming you open the possibilities to "other" bibles

Matthew 18
1AT THAT time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, Who then is [really] the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them,
3And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].
4Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.

It would seem to me that in a place of supposed perfection, everything would be equal, wouldnt it? I mean, how can anyone or anything be greater than something else when everything is supposed to be perfect?
This is yet another contradiction in the religion.
