No, no hon. The mustard seed is referring to our faith and if we have faith as even a small mustard seed, faith can move mountains.
I know now that's probably more confusing. Email me if you want to know more.

the size assessment turn into particularly between a mustard seed and what it blossomed. That turn into the element. It turn into no longer in regards to the assessment between seeds. because of the fact of this this is termed a parable. The 'be conscious of it alls' of Jesus' time could no longer understand parables the two. They grew to turn into too entangled with the help of the words on the exterior to hold close the which potential of the message. even regardless of the undeniable fact that they've been knowledgeable interior the regulation, they understood no longer its deeper which potential. that they had no religious understanding. And, religious understanding is of a a lot larger high quality than intelligence. Intelligence is just one dimensional. religious intelligence is immeasurable. because of the fact of this guy has made a lot of scientific accomplishments and nonetheless lives like a beast. he remains an toddler at heart. He hasn't matured as of yet. BTW. Alcohol is to the techniques as smoking is to the lungs.

I don't think that is an accurate quote. Jesus compared faith to a mustard seed and not the Kingdom of Heaven.

Read the entire passage, he says that the mustard seed is tiny among seeds, but when it grows to its full size it becomes the largest of trees. And I used to work in a seed plant and believe me, the mustard seed is extremely tiny.

The kingdom of God is within US. Not somehwre out there in space, Every true born again Christian has a part of that Kingdom within their selves. the Knigdom of God is we having the Holy Ghost, & if we can have the Faith of a mustard seed, that is all is required to get into the Right kingdom of God.

without running to fetch a Bible I think Jesus compared faith to a mustard seed, because it is the smallest seed of all and grows into a great bush, and Jesus used this allegory to explain that if you have only a little faith and you follow it then it will bloom into greater faith.
He did however refer that Heaven is like a pearl of great price.

you are mistaken,He did not say as big as mustard seed,He said if you have faith as big as a mustard seed you can have all that you desire,it takes just a small amount of faith to accept the Kingdom of God

It is still small but still has the possibility to grow. It means that then there were only few who really knew the word of truth of Jesus Christ. But he knew that it would someday grow very fast.

Huh? No such exchange ever took place between Jesus and the disciples. Where did you get that from?

Heaven isn't a place but a state of enlightened consciousness. It cannot be measured.
