YOU sure about that ...........
And HE who does NOT PICK UP HIS CROSS and follow me , is not worthy of ME . THEMS JESUS WORDS .
OH yeah HE preached the cross .
the cross yes but not anything else! I am certain his lord and master is Paul . I have read so many of his posts for so long trying to bring him to Christ but he does not want to listen. Jesus was not ONLY about the cross but so much more do you not agree?

OH my near and my dear friend what i say to you i say to all . Paul is not his master , but rather pauline
be the queen of many now .
Paul would have rebuked pauline and ran her right out of the church . So lets not attack paul
cause paul DID preach JESUS , just like the twelve apostels did .
JESUS preached the gospel , peter and them all preached that gospel
and later PUAL would preach that same gospel .
Many sit under the wrong paul , or wrong peter , and the wrong jesus my friend .
THEY are the creations and versions OF MEN GONE WRONG .
For what i say to one i say to all
Every letter of the apostels is for the church
As is revelation , as are the gospels , as is even the old holy scriptures .
From page one to page last of that bible , ITS meat for the sheep .
And sheep dont try and twist and omit ANYTHING inspired BY GOD . FOR GOD has HIS SHEEP
And they FOLLOW THE GREAT SHEPARD of the sheep .
Hirelings and acronyms of men and other twisted scrips , THEY WONT HEED a word ONE outta the mouth
of those hirelings . NOT a word ONE .
I am serious my friend . JESUS REALLY DOES has the sheep
HE has had me from the first day i was drawn till even now and HE HAS KEPT ME SAFE and IN THE BIBLE .
YEAH i said IN THE BIBLE . cause men be fleecing us all my freind . real badly and worse it has got and worse it will get .

MANY have tried to say
that JESUS HIMSELF did not preach about his death burial and ressurection
and that later AFTER HIS RESSURECTION did the apostels preach it .
BUT IS THAT REALLY TRUE or did JESUS REALLY PREACH the WHOLE GOSPEL .
HE DID .
HE said it more than once . HE talked about his death and HIS RESSURECTION .
the thing was IT WAS KEPT from the understanding of the apostels TILL AFTER HIS RESSURECTION .
it even says this .
EVERY WORD OF JESUS CHRIST IS FOR THE SHEEP .
And the sheep are THOSE WHO BELEIVE IN HIM . whether jew or gentile born .
THEY ARE ONE FOLD , ONE KING , MIDDLE WALL has been broken down
they are ONE PEOPLES with ONE SHEPARD . GOD ALLMIGHTY IS THEIR GOD
and the voice of hirelings THEY ABOSLUTELY WILL NOT HEED
for GREATER IS HE that is in them and HE KEEPS HIS OWN and leads HIS OWN
and worketh in them and giveth them the desire to please HIM , TO PLEASE GOD .
THERE has not been an eradication , ONLY THE FULLFILLMENT of the law .
THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL and IN CHRIST JESUS by the POWER of THE HOLY GHOST
ITS UPON OUR HEARTS . TO PLEASE GOD , and no man can please GOD without faith
and if a man says I have faith BUT BELIEVES NOT GOD , THEY HAVE NO FAITH .
And if a man says I Love HIM but obeys HIM NOT , THEY DO NOT LOVE HIM . THE LOVE OF GOD IS NOT upon them .

I see your point and I agree he is stuck in this pauline false doctrines. and yes i consider myself also ones of his sheep I follow only his voice. I still remember the day I was drawn to Him, I was finishing John chapter 17 and I understood the true meaning of Life, (to be one with God) my spirit lifted out of my body, felt this incredible happiness and Love and I could see myself from above for a moment...I will never forger this. He has kept me safe also, even recently last February, I will never forget his devotion and love for us.

JESUS IS THE TRUTH
and for this cause came he into the world
TO TESTIFY of the TRUTH
all who are of the truth COME TO HIM .
And the words of truth they will not twist
as do and as did the serpent . but many seem to rather follow
the one who twists the scriptures unto their own destruction
AS HE DID to eve in the garden . GOD has said SURELY YE SHALL DIE
and HE said surely ye shall not die . AND Who did eve beleive .
Many seem to be following the one whose voice is of the stranger
and many co workers he has doing his bidding as they too twist the scrips UNTO THEIR own destruction .
ALL who hate GOD love death . AND SO it seems many sure love the words of death
that has promised them life and sin .

The battle has been long and the VICTORY IS IN JESUS CHRIST .
Soon our pilgramige will be over . BUT TILL it is , DOUBLE DOWN all efforts to sound out the TRUTH
to correct anything and everyone CONTRARY TO GOD , TO HIS CHRIST , TO the words of HOLY DOCTRINE
that was left for us to read in the scriptures .
We got one POWERFUL HUNGRY WHORE
and A WHORE knows how to please the flesh of man .
SHE KNOWS how to whisper the things his ears desire to hear
BUT Many know not that all who sit under a WHORE will surely reap SPIRITUAL DISEASE and DEATH will be their end .
SHe pours her ecumincal cup out to every denomination
in a way that each denomination could relate to it
SHE Did the same with the false religoins . SHE is as a chameleon
SHE KNOWS how to blend into any group and can appear as it to lead them all to be AS ONE mind
and one heart UNDER HER . Watch out she is everywhere now , her eucminal cup IS EVERYWHERE and
many have well drunk of it and many more are sniffing at its brim . SHE IS THE MOTHER of all abomin ations
and she will center her relgioin IN JERUSALEM . WE are BEING DECIEVED . this is not
GODS PLAN , IT was HER PLAN and by her peace SHE LEADS all to
be as one under the peace by which THEY WILL BE DESTROYED . THis peace IS NOT OF GOD
its of the dark one . And he knows how to decieve .

Never heed the voice of hireling who says JUDGE NOT CORRECT NOT

Always rememeber that even a wee tiny bit of leaven WILL leaven the lump .
That error will and can only beget error .
THE WORDS OF GOD ALMIGHTY MATTER . DO NOT let men
down play such words in favor of unity and getting along . FOR THEY LEAD YOU TO A LIE
and the leaven will take over as error begets onl y more errror .
Correct sin and error
correct all twisted doctrine
Folllow CHRIST and KEEP the pattern HE LEFT FOR US
WHICH HE GAVE to the original apostle who passed it down to the sheep .
DO Not compromise . DO not omit , add to or take from HIS WORDS , lest ye be found A LIAR .

[1Corinthians 2:7-8 KJV] 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

There are those who say that Peter and the disciples all preached the same gospel. They say they preached the cross for eternal salvation for all who believe.

This verse has implications to those who hold this view.

If Peter and the disciples did preach the cross, then all that the cross accomplished would have been made known, and they would not have crucified Christ.

According to scripture Peter and the disciples could not have preached the cross because they didn't understand anything about his death and resurrection...............[Mark 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.

Jesus did not preach the cross for salvation. Jesus privately told the disciples that he would be put to death and rise again to fulfill all that was written in the prophets.................[Luke 24:44 KJV] 44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.

Jesus did not preach the cross. Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom..........[Matthew 4:23 KJV] 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Peter’s most powerful sermons on Christ’s death and the call to repentance appear in Acts 2 and Acts 3, where he addresses crowds in Jerusalem shortly after Pentecost.


Acts 2:14–41 — Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost​


  • Context: The Holy Spirit has just descended on the disciples. Crowds gather, confused by the signs and languages.
  • Peter’s Message:
    • He quotes Joel’s prophecy about the outpouring of the Spirit.
    • He boldly declares: “This Jesus… you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. But God raised him up…” (Acts 2:23–24)
    • He affirms Jesus as both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).
  • Call to Action: “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…” (Acts 2:38)
  • Impact: About 3,000 people were baptized that day.


✨ Acts 3:11–26 — Peter’s Sermon at Solomon’s Portico​


  • Context: After healing a lame man, Peter addresses the astonished crowd.
  • Peter’s Message:
    • He says: “You killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead.” (Acts 3:15)
    • He emphasizes that this was foretold by the prophets.
  • Call to Action: “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…” (Acts 3:19)
  • Promise: Times of refreshing and restoration will come from the Lord.


Themes in Peter’s Preaching​


  • Bold confrontation: He doesn’t shy away from naming the crowd’s role in Jesus’ death.
  • Prophetic fulfillment: He links Jesus’ death and resurrection to Old Testament prophecy.
  • Urgent repentance: He offers a clear path—repentance, baptism, and forgiveness.
  • Hope and restoration: He promises spiritual renewal and future restoration.

Peter’s transformation—from denying Christ to proclaiming Him boldly—makes these sermons especially poignant. They’re not just theological declarations; they’re personal testimonies of grace and courage.

just to tease and so you might ponder on it seriously, are you part of the church of Christ or the church of Paul that you put above Christ? No need to reply I already know the answer.
The church the body of Christ.................which church are you in?

The church in the wilderness......................[Act 7:38 KJV] 38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:...................they are referred to a congregation and were believers who followed the Lord..........................[Exo 12:3 KJV] 3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for an house:
That was not an OT church. that is just the Greek using the best word available for gathering. Ekklesia has come to mean the church but its primary definition is a gathering. The church is composed only of those who believe In Jesus as Messiah/Savior which began at Pentecost.

That word "church" for Israel is "eda":

Pronunciation
ay-daw'

  1. congregation, gathering
Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
עֵדָה ʻêdâh, ay-daw'; feminine of H5707 in the original sense of fixture; a stated assemblage (specifically, a concourse, or generally, a family or crowd):—assembly, company, congregation, multitude, people, swarm. Compare H5713.

Church is "ekklesia":

a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place, an assembly

    1. an assembly of the people convened at the public place of the council for the purpose of deliberating
    2. the assembly of the Israelites
    3. any gathering or throng of men assembled by chance, tumultuously
    4. in a Christian sense
      1. an assembly of Christians gathered for worship in a religious meeting
      2. a company of Christian, or of those who, hoping for eternal salvation through Jesus Christ, observe their own religious rites, hold their own religious meetings, and manage their own affairs, according to regulations prescribed for the body for order's sake
      3. those who anywhere, in a city, village, constitute such a company and are united into one body
      4. the whole body of Christians scattered throughout the earth
      5. the assembly of faithful Christians already dead and received into heaven
You have fallen into the basic error of novice handlers of the Word. The "church" is a gathering of believers It speaks tro the crowd while the body of christ speaks to our true identity.

Acts 8:25
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Who did thjese samaritans belong to? Because according to you, the church was not yet born and they were not Jews but they were believers. YOU have them in some kiond of spiritual no mans land.

Acts 5:42
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

but acording to you these were not part of the church!

Acts 5:42
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Last is the body of Christ with Christ at the head, revealed only thru Paul.........................[1Co 12:27 KJV] 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
According to you , Jews and Gentiles who believed in Jesus as Messiah were not part of the body of christ! do you know how unbiblical that sounds.

You strain at gnats (Peter never mentioned the body of christ.) to swallow camels, that the Body did not start until Paul.
I am only citing scripture where we find a progressive relation
Peter preached the name of Jesus
We are given to know how Christ provided salvation to all by the cross
If only you knew the errors of your preaching here. May the Lord open your eyes.

They were members of the body of Christ if they believed in the redemption that Christ provided by his death and resurrection

If they believed only on the name of Christ, if they only believed he was the Christ, the Son of God they were part of the new testament, kingdom church

This has come to an end. I warned you fo this false teaching. Paul even said that if you confess Jesus and believe He rose from the dead you will be saved. so you have all who do that as not members of the body of christ but another church the bible does not preach!

I am sorry for you. But I am glad you do not fellowship in a church that believes this. Less people who have beend deceived.

Have the last word if you wish.

The gospel revealed to Paul was kept secret since the world began and therefore could not have been given to Abraham, otherwise it would no longer be a secret

If you had actually studied your Old Testament Books like you were supposed to, instead of listening to deceived Hyper-Dispensationalist preachers, then you would recognize Paul's teaching in Romans 4 and Galatians 3 about how The Gospel was FIRST PREACHED TO ABRAHAM, and Abraham believed Paul said, and thus Abraham's FAITH was counted as righteous.

And the FAITH of ALL those who have believed on the Promise of The Spirit through FAITH have received the BLESSING OF ABRAHAM, and have become "the children of Abraham."

Gal 3:14
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
KJV


Thus Abraham UNDERSTOOD what he believed by his FAITH on The Gospel. It is the SAME Gospel that Apostle Paul and ALL... the Apostles preached! Otherwise Paul would have never compared OUR Faith in The Gospel with Abraham's Faith!

Gal 3:7-9
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen
through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
KJV


The nations being blessed through Abraham's FAITH isn't just because God said all nations would be blessed through Abraham, it was because Abraham believed The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it was the example of Abraham's FAITH on The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Your preachers have tried to turn that Galatians 3:8 verse into some spiritual allegory instead of recognizing it as written that The Gospel of Jesus Christ was first preached to Abraham, and Abraham believed, and Abraham's FAITH was counted to him as righteous, JUST AS THE FAITH OF ALL BELIEVERS OF THE GOSPEL AFTER ABRAHAM WOULD BE COUNTED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS, LIKE ABRAHAM'S. And that is WHY Apostle Paul said those of FAITH have become the "children of Abraham", and will inherit with faithful Abraham. This is so simple a little child can understand it.

If you had actually studied your Old Testament Books like you were supposed to, instead of listening to deceived Hyper-Dispensationalist preachers, then you would recognize Paul's teaching in Romans 4 and Galatians 3 about how The Gospel was FIRST PREACHED TO ABRAHAM, and Abraham believed Paul said, and thus Abraham's FAITH was counted as righteous.

And the FAITH of ALL those who have believed on the Promise of The Spirit through FAITH have received the BLESSING OF ABRAHAM, and have become "the children of Abraham."

Gal 3:14
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
KJV


Thus Abraham UNDERSTOOD what he believed by his FAITH on The Gospel. It is the SAME Gospel that Apostle Paul and ALL... the Apostles preached! Otherwise Paul would have never compared OUR Faith in The Gospel with Abraham's Faith!

Gal 3:7-9
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen
through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
KJV


The nations being blessed through Abraham's FAITH isn't just because God said all nations would be blessed through Abraham, it was because Abraham believed The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it was the example of Abraham's FAITH on The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Your preachers have tried to turn that Galatians 3:8 verse into some spiritual allegory instead of recognizing it as written that The Gospel of Jesus Christ was first preached to Abraham, and Abraham believed, and Abraham's FAITH was counted to him as righteous, JUST AS THE FAITH OF ALL BELIEVERS OF THE GOSPEL AFTER ABRAHAM WOULD BE COUNTED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS, LIKE ABRAHAM'S. And that is WHY Apostle Paul said those of FAITH have become the "children of Abraham", and will inherit with faithful Abraham. This is so simple a little child can understand it.
Thus Abraham UNDERSTOOD what he believed by his FAITH on The Gospel. It is the SAME Gospel that Apostle Paul and ALL... the Apostles preached! Otherwise Paul would have never compared OUR Faith in The Gospel with Abraham's Faith!
Peter preached the gospel of the kingdom and the name of Jesus. Not the same gospel as Paul is it?
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
The gospel preached to Abraham was that in him shall all nations be blessed NOT the gospel of Christ. It says it in the verse. You are making scripture say what you want it to say and not what it says
