You seem to be stuck on evangelical Protestant dogma.
You can ask 10 different religious people, and get more than 10 wrong answers.
You can ask 10 different "professing believers" and get what they were told to tell you.
I wont do that.
I will tell you to do this. Do not listen to "just anyone". Instead find a REAL TEACHER, to learn the word.
Its why God calls "teachers"..... like me...."for the perfecting of the FAITH of the Saints".
You're not going to know, or realize it, but had you read me for the last 2-3 yrs, here, my Hundreds of Threads, and Thousands of posts..
You would see the silver Thread that joins them all together.
Its this.
Paul said...
KJ21
For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
ASV
For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
AMP
for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection].
AMPC
For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.
See that?
That's a real teacher.
And if you read my 1st Thread i ever posted here...... or what i taught today, you'll begin to realize that all my "teaching" is CROSS< CROSS CROSS< CROSS< CROSS< CROSS.
That's a real one, St Steven
Thats a fact.
I will only tell you what Paul says and everything He teaches is CROSS CENTERED, "always about the CROSS". "Jesus on the Cross".. "the Shed blood of Jesus on the Cross".. The Salvation by God that is the Blood Atonement that is the
""Cross of CHRIST".
"The Preaching of the Cross". that is the "power of God, unto Salvation".
Not commandments.
Not Mary
Not Water Baptism
Not the Law
Not trying to be like Christ
So, if What he says is not for you, then that is an issue that Peter, Mary, The Pope, and "denominations" wont be able to resolve.
See, the Gospel, is "the Gospel of the Grace of God"...
That is literally the CROSS OF CHRIST.
There is only 1.= ONE.= Gospel.
It came from Jesus to Paul as "revelation".
Paul said, "i received this revelation, (The Gospel) not from MAN, but from Jesus".
This is why Paul calls the Gospel..>"my Gospel". 3x in the New Testament.
Jesus said .. "He (Paul) is a chosen vessel" who was chosen to be the "apostle to the gentiles", in the "time of the Gentiles" and WE are ALL in the Time of the Gentiles, right now.
He alone is called to be the "apostle to the Gentiles" in the "time of the Gentiles".
You're in it, reader.
So, His Gospel, is THE ONLY GOSPEL.... and that is :
2 Corinthians 5:19
