"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." - Matthew 20:28

And focusing on His death isn't n insult to Him, He said that's the chief reason He came to Earth for.

Right. How he died is immaterial. And a different topic.
I'll try to remember to come back here and discuss the plot to kill him if you like...

You need to go back and read the gospels, they were angry and ostracized Him for condemning their rabbinical additions and traditions of their elders to the Tenakh that they esteemed to be preeminent (Mark ch 7), but they conspired to kill Jesus for the crime of blasphemy, that He was teaching that He was equal to God.

But did you perceive it in your heart or were you taught it by others or text?
Jesus praised Peter for receiving the revelation that He was the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
And the Kingdom of God is within the believers, the kingdom of heaven is a different thing.

He praised hm for receiving it through the spirit, not of men. Not what he knew but how he knew it.
The Kingdom of GOD is a spiritual thing, it resides inside the body of a born-again believer

Correct, Peter received it by Revelation of the Holy Spirit, which wasn't given to man yet.

Ummm, everyone has a given soul, thats what were supposed to learn about, not the world. Sadly. most aren't even aware what we really are, let alone how to receive of the spirit. They are too 'busy'.
