Hey folly mis molly.
List the verses BEFORE Gal 2:2 where Peter taught the death, burial, resurrection of Christ Gospel that Paul taught
No rush fJ, get it right :gd
Acts 2:22-24

Acts may have been written later than Galatians, but the events recorded in Acts 2 took place on the Day of Pentecost, long before Galatians was penned by Paul, and before Paul was even appointed as an apostle.

Matt 24 'Gospel of the Kingdom' for today ??

The table below compares the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God.

Gospel of the KingdomGospel of the Grace of God
Proclaimed by John the Baptizer, Jesus, and the Twelve.Proclaimed by Paul.
Preached to Jew only.Preached primarily to Gentiles.
Required repentance, baptism, and faith + works.Requires faith alone, faith + 0.
Content of message was Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God.Content of message is the death and resurrection of Christ.
Began with John the Baptizer and stopped during the Acts period (Acts 15.11). Resumes after the Rapture.Began after Jesus commissioned Paul as the apostle of the Gentiles.
And yet; Paul said if ANYONE, even an angel from heaven, preaches ANY "gospel" than what he is preaching, they are to be accursed.

Therefore, according to you, JESUS and JOHN are accursed because they preach a DIFFERENT gospel than Paul.

Dude, you got serious issues.

But Foxe's Book of Martyrs was not written until the 16th century so that is hardly a prime source. Foxe must have obtained the information from somewhere else.
Yep, Foxe did the work of accumulating the church traditions. I don't intend to re-invent that wheel here.

What about you, David? Do you think that Thomas, Mark, etc went and were apostles in Gentile nations? Or were all the apostles except Paul sent only to Israel?

So you believe that NT ANIMAL SACRIFICES are a requirement today to have sins forgiven ?
I don't know exactly why you're wording it that way, but I should point out that there will be jews (well those who call themselves jews but are actually Eastern Europe converts to Judaism) that will and are coming to Christ. They personally reject their religion because they see how sick it is. And you don't have to take my word for it.

You make many assumptions about the Millenial Kingdom of Christ that are not exclusive to Israel.
The Millenial Kingdom is for ALL faithful believers.
And yet there is no need for it because the Bible teaches that when Jesus comes there's going to be a new heaven and a new earth for His people where righteousness dwells and there's no more sin. So why do we want to wait around a thousand years (on an earth curse with sin) for the real deal?

Correct, yet where does Peter teach that a person is saved & HS sealed by believing & trusting in the death, burial, resurrection of Christ as Paul taught in 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 ?
NOWHERE !!
INSTEAD Peter teaches Acts 2:38 & in some case Acts 8:15-17 was required to receive the HS
After 1 Cor 15:1-4, Paul NEVER teaches anything else but trust/believe the DBR of Christ to be SAVED & HS sealed
Can you see the differences David ?
Read/study the verses :gd

The sermon on the mount pertains to Israel.

Let's look at the sermon on the mount and see if it was given to you

[Matthew 5:1 KJV] "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:"
[Matthew 5:2 KJV] "And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,"
[Matthew 5:3 KJV] "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." *********** The kingdom of heaven is the prophetic Davidic kingdom on earth promised to believing Israel ********* [Isaiah 9:7 KJV] "Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

[Matthew 5:5 KJV] "Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." ********* Believing Israel will inherit the earth in the kingdom on earth ********* [Isaiah 60:21 KJV] "Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified." ******** Israel was promised the land
[Psalm 37:11 KJV] "But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." ******* The psalms pertain to Israel

{Matthew 5:10 KJV] "Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."******** The believing remnant of Israel will be persecuted in the tribulation ******** [Mark 10:30 KJV] "But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

[Matthew 5:14 KJV] "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." ******* Zion will be a light to the Gentiles in the kingdom ********* [Isaiah 60:1 KJV] "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."
[Isaiah 60:3 KJV] "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

[Matthew 5:19 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
[Matthew 5:20 KJV] "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." ******** To enter the millennial kingdom on earth, Israel had to righteous by keeping the law.

[Matthew 6:12 KJV] "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
[Matthew 6:14 KJV] "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:"
[Matthew 6:15 KJV] "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." ********* Israel had to forgive in order to be forgiven

The sermon on the mount pertained to Israel. You aren't Israel.

You can disregard the teachings of Christ if you wish

I certainly won't

Previously i DID correct my error
So you believe that NT ANIMAL SACRIFICES are a requirement today to have sins forgiven ?
I typed an N instead of O
..
In the OT, animal sacrifices were part of the sin forgive process.
Are ANIMAL SACRIFICES part of the sin forgive process today for you & I ?
No.
Point ?
Not ALL of the Bible applies today

And still, here you are claiming the last thing is the second thing and the only thing.

The Bible is absolutely clear.
They lived and reigned 1000 years.
That dragon was bound 1000 years.
He was released AFTER the 1000 years for a season to deceive the nations.
They go to war against Jerusalem.
Jesus is sitting ON His throne AT Jerusalem during this time.
THEN cometh the end.

Your question reveals a lack of understanding.

Since Christ through His writers penned the whole Bible, why do you not practice the OT animal sacrifices that were required as part of the sin forgive process ?
Why do you eat meats that were classified as UNclean ?

Jesus said

Matthew 15:11
11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”

I know you don't follow Christ's teachings.
But I do.

Was Christ/GOD involved in the writing of the WHOLE Bible ?
YES
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God
Since Christ/GOD INSTRUCTED animal sacrifices, why don't you perform animal sacrifices as part of your sin forgive process ?

Because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice

So then you agree that the ANIMAL SACRIFICE part of the Bible teachings of Jesus/GOD no longer apply today.
V/good AO, you're getting the hang of things.
NOT everything that Jesus taught in the Bible applies today
So it's safe to DISREGARD that particular teaching of Jesus :gd

Animal sacrifice teachings are not from Christ. They're from the old testement.
Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice.
