What it would accomplish was not made known. It was only prophesized
The eunuch didnt understand Isiah.............[Act 8:30-31 KJV] 30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Most of the NT cannot be understood unless it is explained by someone wtih knowledge.

(this is different than knowing God).

Notice they say that the jews and now even muslims are saved thru abraham .
But tell me
WHO DID ABRAHAM BELEIVE . WHO did abraham POINT TOO .
Many cliam hey the jews have moses and the law
and the muslims cliam moses and etc
BUT had they heard the law , had they heard moses
had they the faith of abraham
THEN THEY HAD BELIEVED GOD , they had Beleived MOSES
AND I KNOW WHO THEY P OINTED TOO . JESUS THE CHRIST .
so folks can holler at me all day THEY serve the same GOD we do
and i say THEN HOW COME THEY DONT FOLLOW THE SAME GOD and CHRIST WE DO .
because TO DENY JESUS IS TO DENY GOD .
Amen to that!
Aside from the fact that GOD DOES NOT CHANGE!
He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and always.
For God there is no dispensation...
He has done what He said He would do throughout the entire bible.

If a prophet is true...
what he prophecies is also true.

We arent sent to the nations to preach the gospel of the kingdom which required water baptism
For the umpteenth time Doug...
Your understanding of THE KINGDOM is not a complete understanding.

Jesus came to set up His Kingdom HERE AND NOW.
YOU are also a part of it.

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet says it all.

He has done what He said He would do throughout the entire bible.
Unto he or unto she who loveth this life , their sin
THEY are always given unto change , so long as that change fits their hearts desires .
But as for the sheep , BIBLE TIME . they heed HIS WORDS .
and YEAH , YOU RIGHT , or your right , HE DONT CHANGE .
That would include He dont change and pander to this changing world .
GOD dont pander TO SIN . IF I EVER see another rainbow or koran kissed
and this ecumenical bull dung of interfaith getting taught ,
THINK i might just ask a couple of good old fashoined T RUE JESUS beleiving
folks to join hands with me as i pray a prayer to deliver one over unto des treuction of the flesh
YOU GOTS TO KNOW i am long wore out with this nonsense . Now someone gotta do something
and if no others will , GUESS its up to me to do it .
You see , i actually DO BELEIVE what was written for us in that bible.
AND i darn sure dont have to twist it , omit it , say it was for another generation
TO FEEL cozy . WE gots real spiritiual weapons meant for the good of the church .
THOUGH the ROD wont feel too good . ENOUGH with this everyone catholic junk
unity unity unity junk . Intefaith finding common ground junk .
My desire IS GOOD for this people and correction IS GOOD , though at times it might not feel so good .
GOTTA DO what i gotta do . Someone has to do something , this generation is fast falling in love
with a false love .

I hear there's a surge in the search for God,,,,
or, at least, interest in God.

Seems like the New Atheists bunch caused a whole generation to become skeptical of the existance of God
BUT they forgot to replace Him with something....so we have a generation with no basis for moral values and nothing to "hook on" to (this was the expression used).

So, maybe, God can fill that God shaped hole once again for some persons that might have missed Him.
Maybe the new generation can appreciate Him even more now....having experienced that atheism offers NOTHING to the human soul/spirit.

GOD sure is the same YESTERDAY , TODAY and ALWAYS .
And i think we ought to be SO GREATFUL HE IS .
HE ALWAYS D ESIRED GOOD for man . HE ALWAYS DID .
From adam and eve
to even his own peoples of abraham , IT WAS ALWAYS GOOD HE DESIRED FOR THEM .
TIS WHY HE WARNED adam DO NOT EAT of that tree
ITS WHY he warned even the jews about the blessings and the curses
IT was why GOD had always sent prophets to warn this people TO REPENT , TO DO GOOD
to flee the evil .
And now a word
WHY did man fall
WHY did the jews several times end up Destroyed and led captive .
AND WHY are so many now gonna wail on the DAY OF THE LORD .
CAUSE THEY WONT REPENT , cause they wo nt heed the warnings meant foer their good
cause they wont COME to CHRIST to be saved
SO WHOSE FAULT IS IT . MANS . GOD DID AND SPOKE everything that was good for man
HE even later SENT THE SON for the sake of the world .
ONLY MANY WOULD NOT AND WILL NOT . that blame according to calvin falls on GOD
BUT N O SIR . GOD warned didnt h e GOD SENT THE SON didnt he . NO the fault be on man , NOT GOD .
THE TRUTH is , TO everyone who has eternal life and will one day forever be with GOD , YOU HAVE ONLY GOD , CHRIST
to THANK FOR THAT .
to all others who end up in the lake of fire
THEY TOO have only one they can blame , THEMSELVES . GOD MADE THE WAY , HE IS THE WAY . only man love their sin .

I understand your desire and wishful thinking . TRULY I DO . I mean we do desire souls to be saved .
BUT you wanna know that which i see
OH MANY are gonna appreciate THIS INCLUSIVE IMAGE OF HIM GETTING TAUGHT
but JUST NOT THE TRUE GOD OR HIS CHRIST .
that is what i worry about . because are they preaching wisdom of men
OR JESUS CHRIST . if we wont and don t preach JESUS CHRIST
and if one decides rather to preach wisdom , thus making the cross of Christ of no effect , WELL not GOOD .
A lot of people now beleive in the existance of GOD
THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW GOD and have come to fall in love with the wrong g od my friend .
The all inclusive love g od . JESUS HAS BEEN DENIED , TRUTH and HOLINESS has been trod under foot .
BUT oh yeah they beleive in the existance of GOD , JUST THEY DONT BELEIVE GOD . and that will not
BODE well for them or do any good for them .
YOU SEE NOT KNOWING THE ONLY WAY TO GOD , WELL they wont be GOING TO GOD . JESUS . JESUS .
OH JESUS must be preached or its all in vain .

i have long been worn out with those who put the blame on GOD . as IF .
I bet that will not work for them if they had kids .
Lets see .
I bet if anyone of them had small children
and loved their children
and taught them what was good for them and what was bad and to avoid the bad and do the good .
And then if that child did the bad
Would say OH THAT MUST BE MY FAULT .
GOD told adam and eve DO NOT EAT .
but they ate . end of s tory .
And GOD in his mercy provided their covering but the curse came upon them and all mandkind ever since .
GOD also sent the SON to do what man could not do
to restore man , reconcile man BACK TO GOD .
only once again along cometh the serpent and says HAS GOD really said YE MUST BELEIVE
That ol serpent is a slick one , but the SHEEP BELEIVE JESUS , FOR JESUS HAS THE SHEEP .
The fall of man , that fault lies on the serpent , BUT NOT ON IT ALONE
for WHO OBEYED IT . the fault lies on the one who HEEDS NOT GOD but heeds the lie and the liar .

ONLY if they are preaching JESUS will i and can i be happy .
because i said afore and above
MANY folks beleive in the concept THERE IS A GOD
as do even all religoins
BUT , if one knows NOT the way TO GOD ,
if one follows another way
WELL that WONT BODE WELL at all . SO its time we put the preaching of JESUS first and foremost again .
I was about to say TIME to make the preaching of JESUS great again ,
BUT ITS ALWAYS BEEN G REAT for one to preach JESUS . as i am sure you would ag ree .

GRACE ambassador is on a 'spell', i guess...This is because you folks are from the Pauline sects and abide alone by Paul's short burst Gospel, which apparently will get you soon 'shipwrecked'.
Precious friend, Yes, us "Pauline sects, under a spell" are 'shipwrecked', Because:

We have been criticized for not believing only ONE gospel, so how, may we kindly/humbly ask, do
we Follow God's Two Different Programs "At the SAME Time"?:


Amen.

Amen.
Verily verily i say unto thee .........
paul would have kicked pauline outta the church .
HOWEVER with that being said
WE HAVE DECIDED to FOLLOW JESUS is a big fat amen to that one .
In fact i can easily prove that FROM JESUS to every apostel that left us a letter to read
NONE of it contradicts one another and EVERY WORD IS meat for the sheep .
NOW t othose who t ry and omit certain lettters , IT DUE TO they lack serious understanding
or worse .
From the pages of torah to the gospels , to every letter written
of them apostles to even revelation ITS ALL TRUTH , ITS ALL FOR THE CHURCH
and not a lick of it contradicts .
SO lets learn what that means .
AND i can show us the easiest way to learn it .
DO two things .
PUT DOWN ALL comemnatires , books of men , sholarly g reeks and etc
AND pick up the bible and read JUST it for yourself .
Watch how simple things become in time . Be encouraged now .

But YOU said it should say TESTAMENT.

The translations say COVENANT.

YOU said Jesus did NOT use the word Covenant.

HE MOST CERTAINLY DID.

"This is the blood of the New and Everlasting Covenant".

Precious friend, Yes, us "Pauline sects, under a spell" are 'shipwrecked', Because:

We have been criticized for not believing only ONE gospel,
Am touched with your honesty, thank you, and you will be able to come out of that 'spell'.

We've been pouring out scripture quotes and explanation over and over again in respond about this matter.

There's only one Gospel, but GOD through Christ and the Holy Ghost distributed them evenly to HIS servants, one with 5 talents, another 2 talents and lastly 1 talent, to minister the people of all nations.

In the beginning were orally preached, lettered and discipled, hence in testament a few are inspired to be written down for us today in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

Henceforth for us who are born again and been saved by the election of grace and discipled likewise, to serve in faith to the Word of GOD and in every good works the man of GOD we've become.

So there is the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and a short one from Paul, given by one person Jesus Christ.

Therefore we're to put them together into one context and one sound doctrine knowledge, in order to minister unto the world as they did.

Even Paul is the one who quoted, 'we' (everyone of us Jews and Gentiles as the one body of Christ) are 'built' in the foundation of the 'Apostles' (not Apostle) and the Prophets, where Jesus Christ is the Chief Corner Stone.

Ironically i don't understand why the born again church of today find it difficult to 'grasp' just this one matter in regards the Gospel?

Probably seems like everyone want to become teachers rather than start as students and teach oneself first.

so how, may we kindly/humbly ask, do
we Follow God's Two Different Programs "At the SAME Time"?:


Amen.
Again, put them together into context and into sound doctrine knowledge, as the one Gospel of GOD through Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

Next, the cause of 'division' is as follow;
1 Corinthians 3:
3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4. For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?


Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord

WHAT IS MEANT IN HEBREWS SAYING THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS?​

God cannot show you any more of his kindness because the emptying of himself in Jesus has been rejected.

You said...............
Why, if we follow the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and of Paul in context, we're not following Christ?

If you follow Christ according to Matthew Mark Luke and John you are following what was for Israel.
Again your 'folly' and 'stubborn' twisted interpretation, and how many times do we have to quote and explain to the hardheaded of yours?

Readers, in context to the scripture about the Gospel, the Gospel came to Israel first, and the remnant of Jewish 12 disciples and followers saved by grace for Jesus were discipled and served with Him for more than 3 years.

Did that Gospel remained in Israel after Christ's ascension, or it went to all the nations of the Gentiles, even way before Paul's conversion and his given Gospel?

Historical study show us to which Gentile nations the Apostles travelled and martyred for the same Gospel they've been discipled, they preached and made disciples with.
Jesus revealed to Paul how we should follow him in this dispensation
Go ahead, who's stopping you?

Readers, first of all, Jesus chose Paul as an 'instrument' of His, hence for Paul to bring His name to the Gentiles, kings and the children of Israel.

Is there any record that Jesus told Paul to preach his gospel to the Gentiles, and Gentiles must follow his gospel?

And furthermore record, the 12 are to preach their Gospel to the Jews, and Jews must follow their Gospel?

This is plain 'bonkers' and 'folly' on out part, continuing to help over and over again the 'blind' to see what we with vision see.

Am starting to wonder and it's been bugging me, whether it's just a strategy device by this forum officials to put us to the 'test' and 'trial'?

Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord

Paul preached the heavenly kingdom..................[2Ti 4:18 KJV] 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I will say that the kingdom of God is used to describe the Davidic earthly kingdom.. Matthew calls it the kingdom of heaven. It can be seen they are the same......................[Mat 4:17 KJV] 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[Mar 1:15 KJV] 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Paul, however, did not preach the kingdom of God as being the Davidic kingdom. Here is how preached the kingdom of God in this verse.................[Act 28:23 KJV] 23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening.....................Paul was preaching the kingdom of God as persuading them concerning Jesus Christ not the earthly kingdom
Hello @Doug,

'The Kingdom of God' is an all covering expression that encompasses all of the callings, whether in the heavenlies or on the earth. For God rules over all.

This expression is also called in Matthew's gospel, 'The Kingdom of Heaven', because it comes from there. There is no difference between either expression, they are one and the same, as you say.

In Christ Jesus
Chris
