MY GOSPEL

[Doug]

> Paul preached His gospel—not a new one. You can call it “my gospel” all day long, but if it doesn’t leave you crucified and raised with Christ, it won’t save you.

Paul says we are buried and raised which couldnt happen unless we believed his gospel

Paul says we are buried and raised which couldnt happen unless we believed his gospel

Absolutely.

 

[RenewedStrength316]

I showed you that Paul's verse was written 5 yrs after Paul met Peter in Acts 15, and gave Him the Gospel.
So, 5 yrs later, Paul could say that about Peter.
Understand @RenewedStrength316 ?
But He could not say that when Peter was preaching..>>"repent and be water baprized for the remission of sins".....as THAT is not the Gospel that Paul Teaches, Preaches.

You keep splitting Christ like He’s two Lords with two gospels. That’s not rightly dividing—that’s ripping the cross in half.

You say Peter preached one gospel, Paul another?

Then explain this:

> “To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins.”
— Acts 10:43



Peter didn’t say, “Get in the water and maybe God will save you.”

He preached Jesus—crucified, risen, saving by faith. And the proof?

> “While Peter yet spake… the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”
— Acts 10:44



God saved them before they touched the water. That’s not a gospel of works. That’s the gospel of grace.

And what did Peter say later?

> “We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.”
— Acts 15:11



Same Christ. Same cross. Same blood.

But you say there are two gospels.

Paul didn’t.

> “Whether it was I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.”
— 1 Cor. 15:11



You are preaching another gospel. Wrapped in logic. Backed by clever men. But void of the Holy Spirit.

> “If any man preach another gospel… let him be accursed.”
— Gal. 1:8



This isn’t a doctrinal debate—it’s a warning. Not from me, but from the Word of God.

There is one gospel.

One cross.

One Savior.

One Lord.

Pick a side.

Because Christ is not divided—and He will not share His glory with your system.

> “Is not My word like fire?” says the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
— Jeremiah 23:29

Paul says we are buried and raised which couldnt happen unless we believed his gospel

Paul’s gospel is not just a story to believe—it’s a death sentence to your old self and a resurrection into new life. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20). “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17). If your faith doesn’t break your pride, shatter your old nature, and remake your heart, then you’re clutching at dead works, not the gospel Paul preached.

Faith without transformation is death (James 2:17). This is not optional doctrine—it’s salvation itself. If you’re not crucified and raised with Christ, your faith is empty and powerless (Romans 6:4).

 

[RenewedStrength316]

So @Doug and @Behold now you come in pairs?

The Pharisees did the same. The mob that stoned Stephen. The court that crucified Christ.

But truth doesn’t need a crowd—it only needs a cross.

> “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” — Galatians 4:16



You’re not defending the gospel. You’re defending a system. A divided, dissected, dispensational maze that strips Jesus of His fullness and cuts His Word into pieces like a butcher with no reverence for the living bread.

You say Peter preached a different gospel than Paul?

Peter preached Christ crucified. Paul preached Christ crucified. Both called for faith, both saw the Holy Spirit fall, and both glorified the same Savior.

There is no second gospel.

> “There is one body, and one Spirit… one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” — Ephesians 4:4–5



You twist grace into passivity. You deny the new creation as core. You say “just believe”—but strip belief of fire, of repentance, of surrender, of the transforming resurrection power that defines true salvation.

If your gospel doesn’t produce a new heart, then it’s not the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It’s a decoy.

> “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” — 2 Timothy 3:7



You think I’m afraid of two voices?

I serve a King who speaks like many waters, who rides the storm, who shatters the proud with a breath. You have your theology. I have His fire.

And it is not you who are under siege.

It is your gospel.

Let it burn.

 

[Behold]

There is Paul's Gospel, and He used the word "cursed" if you teach any other..... Galatians 1:8
And Paul's Gospel was given to Him, by Jesus, after Jesus was back in Heaven.
Why?
Because The Cross of Christ birthed the NT Church, and its mostly Gentiles.......and Peter and the other 10, were chosen to Help Jesus with the House of Isreal, (The Jews only).... during THAT Ministry, that is not Paul's Ministry.
So, the other apostles, had some learning to Do, and Paul is the Teacher.

Remember that Jesus told them, before He ascended...."i have many things to tell you, but you can't receive them now".

So, He called PAUL and Paul taught them, all that Church Doctrine.

Peter didn’t say, “Get in the water and maybe God will save you.”

"repent and be water baptized for the remission of sins" is what Peter told those Jews, in Acts 2.

But here is what you missed.

Peters initial "gospel" to them was....>>>"you have killed your Messiah"......(Read Acts 2).. and they said..>>"what must WE DO"..

And Peter said....>>"repent and get wet". for the "remission of your sins".

And that is not The Gospel.......as water baptism, will not give you "remission of sins"....as only the Blood of Jesus can do that for the Sinner who BELIEVES.

Behold, you claim to defend the gospel, yet you fracture Christ into two lords, two gospels, and a divided church. This is not rightly dividing—it is tearing the body of the Messiah apart. Your “gospel” is a cancerous lie, a counterfeit that kills souls and condemns hearts.

Paul’s gospel is not a hidden mystery reserved for the “dispensation” club. It is the gospel of the cross of Christ—the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Peter, Paul, James, John—all preached one gospel: Jesus crucified, buried, and resurrected. Acts 2 is no less gospel than Romans 3.

> “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8



You say baptism alone cannot save, yet you twist Peter’s call to repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38) into a hollow ritual disconnected from faith in the blood of Christ. You deny the power of the Spirit poured out on Israel at Pentecost while boasting of “Paul’s revelation” as if he alone holds the truth.

> “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life...” — Revelation 22:19



You mock the fire of God’s judgment and the crushing of the old self because it demands death to your pride and self-righteousness.

> “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18
“I die daily.” — 1 Corinthians 15:31



You speak like a lawyer, but your heart is hard as stone. You reduce salvation to intellectual assent and legalism—empty words that will not save you on the day of judgment.

> “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father...” — Matthew 7:21



Your gospel does not crucify the flesh or raise a new creation. You reject the power of regeneration by the Spirit that makes a man new.

> “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17



This is no mere doctrine. It is life or death. Your refusal to bow before the cross leaves you a stranger to grace and the kingdom of God.

> “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.” — John 3:36



You have been warned. Your words are leading many astray into eternal fire (Jude 1:7). You mock God’s patience with your hardened heart and counterfeit gospel.

> “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation...” — Hebrews 2:3



Repent before the fire consumes you. The time of trifling with God’s Word is over.

> “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God...” — 1 Peter 4:17



You stand at the edge of the abyss. Choose Christ crucified or face eternal ruin.

> “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.” — 1 Corinthians 16:22



There is no room for pride, division, or deception. There is only the crucified Christ who alone saves.

 

[NotTheRock]

@Doug

Is it your view that Paul was a heretic?

 

[NotTheRock]

all Paul said about his mystery has to be rejected, he was the only witness to this mystery he said received from Christ and no one else saw or heard it, No witnesses! we have to reject his mystery gospel!!

So you also view Paul as a heretic?

 

[NotTheRock]

Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel?

I have to presume that Paul was referring to the gospel that he owned when he wrote "my gospel". You should too.

The rock was Christ, he built his church on himself
Peter was given apostleship

so you refuse the words of jesus? everyone knows peter and james and John were the pillars of the church it is written in Gal 2:9 paul admits it

They didnt know about his death and resurrection

[Mar 9:31-32 KJV] 31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

[Luk 9:44-45 KJV] 44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

you do not know your scripture Doug;

All references are from the New King James Version (NKJV), This text concludes with scriptural evidence that the disciples understood Jesus’ death before Paul ever encountered Christ. No one can deny what is clearly written in scripture.

Jesus did not keep His death a secret from His disciples. Throughout His ministry, He plainly told them what would happen, when it would happen, and why. Although at first they struggled to understand, there came a moment when they finally grasped the truth. This truth was revealed by Jesus Himself, before any outsider—including Paul—could have known. Scripture clearly shows that the original disciples, chosen and taught by Jesus, understood His coming death and resurrection well before Paul ever became a follower.

Jesus Openly Foretells His Death​

Jesus spoke of His death on multiple occasions. The first clear prophecy is recorded after Peter confessed that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God."

“From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.” (Matthew 16:21)

This marks the first time Jesus began to explain clearly to His disciples that He would be killed and raised on the third day. It’s important that Matthew writes “from that time”—showing this was a turning point. Jesus no longer spoke in parables but openly revealed the suffering ahead.

Peter, still not fully understanding, reacted strongly:

“Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” (Matthew 16:22)

But Jesus corrected Peter:

“Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” (Matthew 16:23)

This rebuke shows that Peter's thinking was still earthly, but the teaching had begun. Jesus was preparing them to accept the hard truth.

Repeated Warnings and Growing Clarity​

Jesus did not mention His death just once. He reminded them again:

“Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, ‘The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.’ And they were exceedingly sorrowful.” (Matthew 17:22–23)

This time the disciples are “exceedingly sorrowful”—showing they understood enough to be deeply troubled.
Again, shortly before arriving in Jerusalem:

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” (Matthew 20:18–19)

This is the most detailed prophecy yet. Jesus plainly names the people involved, the actions taken, the method of death—crucifixion—and the timing of the resurrection.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THEY DID NOT KNOW?

The Moment of Understanding​

Although the disciples struggled at times to accept what Jesus was saying, there is a clear moment when they finally understood.
At the Last Supper, Jesus again spoke of His death:

“For the Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!” (Mark 14:21)

After He gave them bread and wine as symbols of His body and blood, Jesus said:

“This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.” (Mark 14:24)

At this point, the disciples no longer questioned that Jesus was going to die. Their silence at the table, their sorrow in Gethsemane, and their reaction to His arrest all show that they finally knew what was coming.

Jesus had told them many times. But after the Last Supper, they stopped asking questions. Their sorrow became real, not just confusion.

After the Resurrection: Full Clarity and Witness​

When Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared first to His disciples—not Paul. He reminded them that everything had happened exactly as He had foretold.

“Then He said to them, ‘These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:44–45)

From this moment, their understanding was complete. They understood both His death and His purpose. Jesus had taught them personally, opened their eyes to the Scriptures, and called them to be witnesses.

“You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24:48)

​

The Disciples Testify Before Paul’s Conversion​

Before Paul ever met Jesus, the disciples were already teaching that Jesus died and rose again. On the day of Pentecost, Peter preached to the crowd:

“Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death.” (Acts 2:23–24)

Peter speaks boldly, proving that he now understands everything Jesus had told them. The disciples were the first witnesses, the first preachers of the gospel of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Paul, however, did not meet Jesus until later—after these events. His first encounter with Jesus came on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3–6), when Jesus revealed Himself directly to Paul. But by then, the disciples had already seen, heard, believed, and were spreading the message.

The Disciples Knew First!!!​

Scripture clearly shows that:

• Jesus foretold His death multiple times to His disciples.
• They began to understand after His third clear prophecy.
• At the Last Supper, they finally accepted the truth.
• After the resurrection, Jesus opened their minds fully.
• The disciples were preaching the gospel before Paul ever believed.

Therefore, the original disciples knew of Jesus’ death and resurrection both in prophecy and in experience before Paul ever encountered Jesus. Their understanding came directly from the mouth of the Lord Himself.


Let this stand as a testimony to their faith and witness:

“We are witnesses of all things which He did… whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly… And He commanded us to preach to the people.” (Acts 10:39–42)

Their testimony they witnessed all this first hand!! they Knew first before anyone else. Their understanding came first. And it was they who were chosen to pass it on to the world just as Jesus asked them to do.

The kingdom of heaven is the earthly kingdom promised Israel

We are not saved by our righteousness

[Tit 3:5 KJV] 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
[Rom 4:2 KJV] 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.
[Rom 9:32 KJV] 32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
[Gal 2:16 KJV] 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

yes Doug the coming Kingdom of Heaven is as you say and is refereed to as the millennial kingdom and will be established on the second advent of Jesus our lord.

Yes I agree we are not save by our righteousness and Jesus did say what one must do to be saved, I can quote if you need to know what Jesus asked us to do.

 

[LoveYeshua]

That the church is now the body of Christ and revealed a new creature where there is no Jew or Gentile IS NOT found before Paul

Doug, What you wrote is incorrect;

"That the church is now the body of Christ and revealed a new creature where there is no Jew or Gentile is not found before Paul."

This is not true according to the words and actions of Jesus Himself and the understanding given to His original disciples. The idea of a united body of believers—no longer divided by race, nation, or status—did not begin with Paul, but with Jesus, who first revealed it during His earthly ministry. Let us prove this using only Jesus’ teachings and what His disciples (the twelve) later confirmed before Paul’s conversion.

1. Jesus Revealed the Unity of Believers – Jew and Gentile Together​

Jesus openly taught that He came not only for Israel, but also to bring others—those not of the Jewish nation—into one flock:

“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:16, NKJV)

Here Jesus clearly refers to Gentiles as “other sheep.” His goal is one flock, not two. This is the same idea that Paul later called “one body.” But it was Jesus who said it first.

2. Jesus Made One New Family from All Who Obey God​

Jesus removed natural bloodlines as a marker of God’s people. When someone told Him His mother and brothers were outside, Jesus made this statement:

“But He answered and said to the one who told Him, ‘Who is My mother and who are My brothers?’ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, ‘Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.’” (Matthew 12:48–50)

This shows that the new family of God is based on obedience to God, not physical descent. In this family, there is no Jew or Gentile—only those who do God’s will. This is the beginning of the new creation and the body of Christ, defined by faith and obedience.

3. Jesus Sent His Disciples to All Nations—Not Just Israel​

After His resurrection, Jesus commanded the disciples:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)

This commission shows Jesus' plan to create one body from all nations, not a Jewish-only assembly.

“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:47)

Before Paul ever preached, the disciples were already told by Jesus to bring all nations into one body of believers—under one name, and one Lord.

4. Peter Was the First to Witness the Inclusion of Gentiles​

In Acts 10, Peter was sent by God’s command to the Gentile Cornelius. After seeing the Spirit fall on uncircumcised Gentiles, Peter declared:

“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” (Acts 10:34–35)

And again:

“Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” (Acts 10:47)

This event proves the Gentiles were welcomed into the same body, with no division, before Paul began his ministry.

Later, Peter explained this to the Jewish believers:

“If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” (Acts 11:17)

“When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, ‘Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.’” (Acts 11:18)

This is the moment when the Jewish believers recognized that there was no longer separation between Jew and Gentile in Christ. This happened before Paul’s letters and by the hand of Peter, not Paul.

5. Jesus Prayed for a Unified Body of Believers Before the Cross​

Jesus’ final prayer before His death was for the unity of all believers—those near (Jews) and those far (Gentiles):

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us…” (John 17:20–21)

Jesus foresaw one united people, joined in faith and truth, just as He and the Father are One. This prayer was not for two separate groups, but for a single, undivided body.


The idea that the body of Christ, the unity of Jew and Gentile, and the new creation were first revealed by Paul is not supported by the Scriptures.

Peter, not Paul, was the first to baptize Gentiles and declare that God shows no partiality. This was before Paul began his ministry.

Therefore, the doctrine of one body where Jew and Gentile are one—a new creation in Christ—was first taught by Jesus and revealed to His apostles before Paul. Paul confirmed it later, but he did not originate it.

Let us hold to what Jesus revealed and taught from the beginning, giving Him the glory as the true Shepherd and Builder of His Church.

“I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18)

 

[LoveYeshua]

The reason that Peter didnt preach Paul's Gospel in Acts 2, is because Peter didnt know that Gentiles could be saved, and had no idea what the "body of Christ" was all about., as the "body of Christ" is Paul's Doctrine.
Even 10 yrs after Jesus is back in Heaven, God had to show Peter in a Vision, (Acts 10) that Gentiles could be saved.
So, we see that Peter was way behind and had to catch up..

Jesus called Paul after Jesus was back in Heaven. And after Paul's conversion from Saul to PAUL... Jesus took Paul into the wilderness for a while...and taught Him .. THE Gospel, and THE Church Doctrine.
This is why most of the Epistles found in a NT, are Paul's..
This is why Peter said in 2 Peter... that Paul's """Letters"""" are SCRIPTURE......(equal to the Torah.)

Paul says we are buried and raised which couldnt happen unless we believed his gospel

Doug, The claim that "we are buried and raised, which couldn't happen unless we believed Paul's gospel," suggests that the teaching about dying and rising with Christ began with Paul and could only be known through him. But this idea does not align with what Jesus Himself taught or what His original disciples understood and proclaimed before Paul was even converted. The truth of being buried with Christ and raised to new life was not something hidden until Paul—it was already clearly taught by Jesus during His ministry and practiced by His followers from the beginning.

Jesus openly taught that following Him would require the complete death of the old self and a new life that begins through obedience to Him. He said plainly, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain” (John 12:24). In the very next verse, He explained the meaning, saying, “He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). Here, Jesus is not just speaking about His own death and resurrection, but is describing what it means for anyone to follow Him: to die to the world and live a new life born of heaven. This is the foundation of the same spiritual truth Paul later expressed using the language of burial and resurrection.

Jesus also taught that every disciple must walk the path of death and resurrection by following Him daily. He said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it” (Luke 9:23–24). This is not symbolic speech; it is a call to a spiritual death, a surrender of the old life, and a resurrection into a new walk with God. These words were spoken directly to the crowds and to His disciples long before Paul began to teach.

The idea of burial and new life is also seen in the way Jesus and His disciples understood baptism. Jesus was baptized at the beginning of His ministry—not because He needed repentance, but to fulfill all righteousness. After His resurrection, He commanded that His followers be baptized: “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16). Baptism was never treated as a mere symbol. It was the moment of transformation, when one dies to sin and rises with Christ into a new life. This was how Peter and the others understood it. On the day of Pentecost, Peter stood before the crowd and said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). This baptism in the name of Jesus—into His death and resurrection—was preached and practiced before Paul’s conversion.

Jesus Himself described the transformation of the believer as a passage from death into life. He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life… and has passed from death into life” (John 5:24). In His eyes, this resurrection was not just something that would happen at the end of time, but a present reality for all who believe in Him.

Even after Jesus’ ascension, the apostle Peter continued to teach that believers die to sin and live to righteousness through Jesus. He wrote, “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24). And concerning baptism, Peter made it clear that it is more than a ritual—it is the point at which the believer is saved through Christ’s resurrection. “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism… through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21).

From all this, we see that the truth of being buried and raised with Christ was not something new or hidden until Paul. It was taught directly by Jesus, revealed in the life of the early Church, and proclaimed by Peter before Paul even believed. Paul later explained these truths using different words and theological structure, but he did not invent them. They were already part of the gospel of Jesus—the only gospel.

Jesus Himself, not Paul, is the one who said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live” (John 11:25). It is in Him, by His words, by His actions, and by His command that we are buried and raised—not because we believe in Paul’s gospel, but because we believe in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

 

[RenewedStrength316]

“I hear the voices rising—and rightly so, for the enemy seeks to fracture the gospel by dividing Christ’s body. This battle isn’t about ‘Paul’s gospel’ or ‘Peter’s gospel’—it’s about the gospel of Jesus Christ and whether we will preach it whole or in pieces.

Doug, your insistence that salvation is Israel-only and your denial of the new creation at salvation is a trap of the enemy. Acts 10:34–35, Romans 11, Galatians 3:28, 2 Corinthians 5:17—these are not optional doctrines or later add-ons; they are the heartbeat of the gospel.

If we do not preach a gospel that transforms from the inside out—breaking the old man, birthing the new—we preach dead religion dressed as life.

To those who stand against the truth, I say this: either repent and receive the fullness of Christ’s salvation or face the judgment for dividing the body and watering down the cross.

This is the hour for boldness, for piercing the veil of deception, and for raising up a people made new by fire, not just forgiven but transformed.”
