TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

you're correct, let's take it further Hebrews 3:7 "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Hebrews 3:8 "Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Hebrews 3:9 "When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Hebrews 3:10 "Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways".

the Holy Ghost say? Psalms 95:6 "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psalms 95:7 "For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice"

was not this CHRIST in the wilderness with them?

Psalms 95:8 "Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Psalms 95:9 "When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

is this the Christ or the LORD or the Holy Spirit? for the writer states he, me and I as a single desigination person. again the scripture Identify God as a he. Psalms 95:7a "For he [is] our God".

Someone once said H2O exists as solid (ice), liquid (water), and vapor (steam) - 3 distinct natures, one H2O.

Although there is no hope for the finite mind of a human being to accurately illustrate the Godhead, this one satisfies mine - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 separate, distinct Persons comprising one God.

Hello
If you were responding to this post below I will try to decipher what you said since it was not clarified:
This gospel was believed by Abraham unto justification to eternal life. This gospel, as all gospels, was revealed progressively by God but, whoever believed the gospel revealed to them was saved. All the gospels together are the gospel of God. God has always justified whoever believes the gospel in their dispensations by his grace through faith; God saves all based on the redemption in Christ.

Here is Paul's gospel:

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Here is the gospel preached to Abraham:

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Christ is not in this gospel; the cross and that Christ died for the sins of all is not in this gospel; If you were Abraham could you know that you were justified by believing in Jesus? This was not yet revealed.

Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Abraham believed what was revealed to him.

There is one gospel in a sense, and that is the gospel of God; the progressive revelation of our full salvation. The individual gospels given from Adam unto Paul constitute the gospel of God.

There may be multiple gospels, but there is only one gospel for salvation. As even the OT saints were saved by the blood of Jesus, they were looking forward to the coming of the messiah.

With respect, @Phoneman777, there is more than one, 'good news', made known in Scripture. The one you quote from Revelation 14:6 is not simply, 'For God so loved the world' either, as the following verse will show:-

'Fear God, and give glory to Him;
for the hour of His judgment is come:
and worship Him That made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the mountains of waters.'
(Revelation 14:7)

In Christ Jesus
Chris

With same respect, it's no different than John 3:16 if you include all 3 Angels' messages. If one were to draw up a Hebrew Chiasm, it might look like this:

A. God reaches out to a world so loved by Him with an offer of deliverance (John 3:16)
A. God reaches out to His beloved with instructions on how to be delivered (Rev. 14:8; Rev. 18:4)

B. God generously offers to save all who believe (John 3:16)
B. God offers to spare all who believe and obey His command to "come out" (Rev. 14:8; Rev. 18:4)

C. God lifts up the Lamb of God before men for their worship and trust in Him (John 3:16)
C. God calls men to worship "Him that made" which is His Son (Rev. 14:7)

D. God says those who reject the Son will suffer punishment (John 3:16)
D. God warns of punishment for those who reject Him (Rev. 14:10)

The Good News is simply that because of what Jesus did on Calvary:

lost men can escape inescapable destruction
lost children can be granted a priceless inheritance
lost sinners hopelessly disfigured by sin can be transformed into the image of God's dear Son.

Sorry, but the everlasting gospel says :
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:7

This is not the same gospel Paul preaches. We are to believe his gospel for salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

Also John 3:16 was for Israel to believe on Christ as Messiah, Son of God (John 20:31).

I don't think Dispensationalism is Biblical. The Bible is clear that the promises to the fathers come alone through Jesus, and only those who belong to Jesus are Abraham's seed. Therefore, John 3:16 is just as applicable to you and me as to anyone else, as well as the 3 Angels' Messages of Revelation 14, which my denomination preaches worldwide according to the prophecies.

Amen - are we to believe we'll get to heaven and be looked down upon as "pansies who roller skated into heaven on the wheels of grace" by those who by their blood, sweat, and tears WORKED their way there? No, they looked forward in faith to the Cross and evidenced their faith by obedience "through the Spirit", and we look back to the Cross and evidence our faith by the same.

Hello @Phoneman777,

Regardless of the similarity in comparison: where God has distinguished something by giving it a name, 'The Everlasting Gospel', as distinct from 'The Gospel of the Kingdom' & 'The Gospel of the Grace of God', for example; and announcing it with specific wording, at a specific time, then it should be allowed to stand alone, and not be merged together simply because there are similarities in each. To do so in injurous to the Word of God , and hides the differences that God intends should be noted between each one, which are important in regard to His plan and purpose for all who believe.

In Christ Jesus

natural example are really not Good ones, but sometimes they help. but let me ask you this, scripture, Isaiah 63:5 "And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

question is your own arm a seperate and distinct person from you? yes or no.

There is more than one gospel and the only one that saves today is Paul's.

The only Gospel in the Scriptures is the Gospel of Jesus Christ...namely His death for sin, burial, and resurrection. If you think there is another Gospel in Scripture, it is not any Gospel at all. If you disagree and believe the Scriptures teach another Gospel than this, please share the Scriptures that says this.

Doug said:
What gospel was preached to Israel in the wilderness?
Their gospel is that they can enter the remaining promised rest, through belief.
The gospel of entering into God's rest through belief in the book of Hebrews is not the same gospel given to Israel in the wilderness to possess the land. It can clearly be seen that there is more than one gospel in the Bible.

No. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only Gospel in all of the Scriptures. It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden and to all the OT saints, and because of this, all the believing people of God have looked forward to Jesus Christ, from Adam to us. God made many various promises to His people at different times, but there is only one Gospel of Salvation, and that is Jesus Christ, dying for sins, buried, and resurrected from the Dead. All people that would be saved from Adam to us must believe the same Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hello
The gospel preached to Abraham was part of the gospel of God which Paul preaches.

The Gospel preached to Abraham was... The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the same Gospel those in Christ Jesus have believed today. You don't know this because you have not paid attention in Scripture, but instead have been fed men's doctrines that get totally away from this Truth in Scripture.

At the end of John 8, Jesus said Abraham saw His day, and was glad. The Pharisees mocked Him, and asked Him if He had seen Abraham. Then Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58) Then the Pharisees picked up stones to try and stone Him, because by that Jesus proclaimed that He is God. The deeper point is that Jesus in the Old Testament did meet Abraham, and offered Abraham bread and wine, and blessed him. Jesus was the Melchizedek of Genesis who met Abraham. Hebrews 7 reveals this.

And then in Genesis 18, Abraham at his tent door, looks up and all of a sudden there are three men standing there in front of him. And one of the three he bows to as The Lord. Then two of them go to Sodom and Gomorrah to save Lot and his family while Abraham stays back with The Lord, begging Him to not destroy all in those cities. So again, did Abraham actually see Christ, and even speak with Him in the Old Testament times? Yes.

What was the main difference between them and us then? It was that Christ was not born through woman yet to die on the cross, and seal The Gospel Salvation that was prophesied to come, even back in Genesis.

In the Book of Jude, a quote from the book of Enoch is given. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of Christ's second coming...

Jude 14-15
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
KJV

Did Enoch understand about Christ's second coming? Of course he did. It was made known to him, even all the way back in those early days in Genesis. Would he also have known about The Gospel of Jesus Christ? Yes, which is why Enoch mentioned Jesus returning with ten thousands of His saints. Man's Bible chronology doesn't consider this, but tries to teach The Gospel of Jesus Christ wasn't understood by anyone back in OT times. That simply is not true. Isaiah was given to prophesy of Christ's crucifixion, so was David.

So the men you follow that have devised Hyper-Dispensationalism haven't studied enough of their Bible to even consider these things from Scripture. Yet they are there in God's Word. What those men have done instead is build themselves a business, using money from the gullible.

'Whereby, when ye read,
ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men,
as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets
by the Spirit ... ... '
(Ephesians 3:4-5)

Hello @Davy,

Your criticism of Doug, and of Hyper-dispensationalism (so called) is unjustified, and totally unnecessary. For by heaping all of the Gospel of God concerning His Son under one heading, 'The gospel of Jesus Christ', you fail to acknowledge the variations and distictions which the Holy Spirit wishes to highlight by the use of other wording, such as, 'The Gospel of the Kingdom', 'The Gospel of God', 'The Gospel of the Grace of God', and 'The Everlasting Gospel', all good news, but with discernable differences.

You are making assumptions also about just what was told to Abraham and the men of renown in the Old Testament concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. They heard and made known what God told them concerning the Lord's day (John 8:56), but none of them knew all that could be known; that required the revelation of the Holy Spirit: 'The Mystery of Christ' was written, yes, for all to read in the Old Testament; but it needed Divine revelation for it to be seen and acknowledged. The Apostles and prophets of the New Testament needed this revelation (Ephesians 3:4-5); and the Old Testament prophets, to whom the Word was given to proclaim, dearly desired to search into what God meant by the things that they were told, for it was not revealed unto them (1 Peter 1:10).

In Christ Jesus
Chris

May I say that you are really saying there is only one gospel that saves us today and that is true. It is not true that there is only one gospel in the Bible however.

It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden and to all the OT saints, and because of this, all the believing people of God have looked forward to Jesus Christ, from Adam to us.

The gospel was given to Adam and Eve....but what was given to them as gospel?

Genesis And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Can you honestly say this verse says Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again? How would Adam and Eve know that from what was told them. They believed what was revealed to them; they believed God and were justified to eternal life. We have the whole Bible but we can't take what we know and read it back into scripture. We can know now that from Adam on, everyone saved was saved by God's grace through faith in the redemption of Christ (Romans 3:25).

Even Israel only had the shadow of things to come (Colossians 2:17).

God made many various promises to His people at different times, but there is only one Gospel of Salvation, and that is Jesus Christ, dying for sins, buried, and resurrected from the Dead. All people that would be saved from Adam to us must believe the same Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Also John 3:16 was for Israel to believe on Christ as Messiah, Son of God (John 20:31).

Just as the scriptures and Paul explain, the truth (gospel) from God is "line upon line, precept upon precept" and one "laid the foundation, and another builds on it." Nonetheless, it is all one gospel.

You say that the same gospel Paul preaches below was preached to Abraham:

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The Bible says the gospel preached to Abraham was "In thee shall all nations be blessed".
Galatians 3:8 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.

These are not the same gospel! They are not the same words, not the same content, and therefore are different!

What was revealed to Abraham was only a shadow of the whole gospel, what God foresaw, that the Gentiles would be justified through faith in Christ, was not explicitly stated. What was revealed to Abraham was to be believed.

You don't know this because you have not paid attention in Scripture, but instead have been fed men's doctrines that get totally away from this Truth in Scripture.

At the end of John 8, Jesus said Abraham saw His day, and was glad. The Pharisees mocked Him, and asked Him if He had seen Abraham. Then Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58) Then the Pharisees picked up stones to try and stone Him, because by that Jesus proclaimed that He is God.

In Genesis 12:1-3 Abraham was commanded to go unto a land God would show unto him and be made a great nation which would be a blessing. In Hebrews 11:8-10 Abraham was looking for a city built by God. Jesus came to confirm the promises made unto the fathers (Romans 15:8) and to establish the Davidic kingdom to Israel; IN Mark 1:14-15 Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and said the time is fulfilled; this was the day Abraham was looking for. This was the day promised when Israel would be a holy nation and be a blessing to the Gentiles in the kingdom.

The deeper point is that Jesus in the Old Testament did meet Abraham, and offered Abraham bread and wine, and blessed him. Jesus was the Melchizedek of Genesis who met Abraham. Hebrews 7 reveals this.

Hebrews 7:3 says Melchisedec was made like unto the Son of God. He is not Christ.

And then in Genesis 18, Abraham at his tent door, looks up and all of a sudden there are three men standing there in front of him. And one of the three he bows to as The Lord. Then two of them go to Sodom and Gomorrah to save Lot and his family while Abraham stays back with The Lord, begging Him to not destroy all in those cities.

Hebrews 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Israel, in the wilderness, was promised a rest. Israel, because of unbelief, did not enter into that rest.

Numbers 14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

Israel murmured, and rebelled against the Lord. Israel, in unbelief, did not obey the Lord in regard to entering the land as commanded; and because of this, they fell in the wilderness.

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Unto the Hebews, a promise remained for rest; if they believed.

Above we read that the gospel was preached "unto us", as well as "unto them".

What gospel was preached to Israel in the wilderness?

Deuteronomy 1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

Above, is the gospel preached to Israel in the wilderness. Israel was to possess the promised land.

The Hebrews in Hebrews 3:8 were not to harden theirs hearts, in departing from God, as they did in the wilderness.

Hebrews 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

In the passage above, the gospel preached to the present Hebrews is conveyed. These Hebrews can enter into the promised rest if they obey their gospel. Their gospel is that they can enter the remaining promised rest, through belief.

The gospel of entering into God's rest through belief in the book of Hebrews is not the same gospel given to Israel in the wilderness to possess the land. It can clearly be seen that there is more than one gospel in the Bible.

The Gospel Truth? They are related and intertwined.
Israel is a Archetype of the Church.

You have not yet provided scripture that preaches another Gospel than that of Jesus Christ. A promise to Israelite to give them a promised land is not another Gospel, but simply a promise. The ultimate Promise of God has always been the indwelling and eternal Holy Spirit given by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This has always been the Hope of every believing person from Righteous Adam to the saints today. The only Gospel is the Seed of the Woman (Jesus Christ) dying for sin, buried, and resurrected. And this gospel was preached by God to Eve when He said "Your seed will crush [Satan's] head". Everyone who has ever received the Spirit of God, everyone who has ever been a Born of God Child of the Most High, has had the same "One Faith", and that Faith is in the Son of God, whether they were under the Old Covenant or in the times of the New Covenant..... the Gospel is the same. If you say there is another Gospel, another means by which God removes man's sin and fills them with the Holy Spirit (saving them), besides Jesus Christ, please show us with Bible. And then I'll take that Scripture and show you how it really points to Jesus Christ.

And this we see portrayed at the cross, by the two thieves. Believing Israel looked forward to His coming (the thief that was in Paradise that very day with Christ), and those who formerly mocked Him (the mocking thief) who would come to believe in His coming after and looking back, by the blood of the Lamb and the words of their testimony.

These are the first who would be last and the last who would be first, the dead and the living in Christ, and the two witnesses.

It is another gospel:
Matthew 4:23 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.

Jesus was preaching that the prophetic Davidic kingdom was at hand (Luke 1:32). Israel will be gathered into the land and reign with Christ over the Gentile nations (Isaiah 2:2 Ezekiel 36:24).

Here is the gospel you asked for with no mention of the cross but rather baptism:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Of course all of God's grace and each gospel is based on the redemption in Christ. Showing that does not negate that there are different gospels.
And then I'll take that Scripture and show you how it really points to Jesus Christ.

No. Peter is not preaching another Gospel (one of baptism). By the time Peter preached the words in Acts 2:38, he had ALREADY preached the Cross of Jesus Christ to them in Acts 2:23-24. Peter was preaching the same Gospel Jesus Christ and Paul preached.... Faith in the Death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

And the Kingdom Jesus Christ preached was a Kingdom of those Born of God and raised from the Dead.... of which He is the First. Jesus' Gospel was that of His own death, burial, and resurrection, which is the One and only Gospel.
