The Davidic kingdom is found throughout scripture in passages such as 2 Chronicles 6:16 2 Samuel 7:16 Mark 11:10 Luke 12:32
The kingdom of God consists of both heaven and earth (1 Chronicles 29:11).
All in heaven and earth will be gathered together in Christ (Ephesians 1:10).
Jesus and the twelve were preaching the coming kingdom on earth in which the believing Jews would reign with him as a nation of priests and be a blessing to the nations (Exodus 19:5-6 Revelation 5:10 Revelation 20:4 Isaiah 60:3)
Paul preached the heavenly kingdom of God (2 Timothy 4:18 Ephesians 2:6)
Jesus died for Israel only, he died for the sins committed under the first testament (Hebrews 9:15).
.
Indeed! I saw the same problem with the title and it sure muddied the waters for me when I tried to understand his point in the lengthy OP.
Jesus did not preach the cross, Jesus did not reveal all that would be accomplished at the cross in reconciling all mankind to himself (2 Corinthians 5:19); that was revealed to Paul as being mystery (Romans 16:25 Ephesians 3:3-7).
Jesus preached far more than that. You are simply ignoring a large portion of the Gospel. There is only one all-encompassing Gospel.
No there is no statement that says that exactly, what kingdom was at hand then? Matthew 4:17 what kingdom was Jesus preaching?None of those references say that Jesus and the twelve "preached the gospel of the Davidic kingdom on earth"
I certainly am not advocating for replacement theology. Replacement theology says the church has replaced Israel. I am trying to establish that there is a difference between God's program for Israel and the church.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5:3)
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5:10)
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven;Mt 5:19)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, (Mt 7:21)
As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near. (My 10:7)
etc. etc.
Jesus preached the kingdom of heaven.
You must have missed this, where I said after that:WOW!
Jesus died only for the Jews.
Jesus died only for OT sins.
Then who died to atone for our sins?
There are those who say that Jesus, the apostles and Paul all preached the same gospel.
I stated in the post that "The twelve disciples were sent to preach the same gospel that the Lord Jesus Christ was preaching to Israel, the gospel of the kingdom." and was so differentiating it from Paul's gospel.
Sorry for your difficulty.
Please read further and see what was to be believed.....John 3:18 "believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Israel had to believe Jesus as the Son of God, the Christ....that was allWrong. Jesus preached the cross.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3:14-15)
"everyone who believes in him may have eternal life" - not just Jews.
Neither of you references say that this ",mystery" was delivered only to Paul.
They just say people did not know "in previous generations"
In Eph 3:7 says Paul says this "mystery" was revealed "unto his holy apostles"

As I said the kingdom consists of heaven and earth...the body of Christ has place in the heavenly kingdom as statedAre you saying that when Paul preached the kingdom of God it was a different kingdom of God to the one Jesus preached?
You are not supplying scripture to support your position except for Paul who was given revelation by ChristWell I do not believe that there is any separation in the Gospel, for there is neither Jew or gentile, only those that are Grafted into the root and fatness of the God of Israel!
I would have to cite the entire Gospel of John. But John chapters 3 and 6 should suffice (for starters). And you should be the one studying them and telling us what that Gospel is.Please cite, what other gospel did Jesus preach
Thank you for explaining. I now understand your conclusion or your direction even if I don't understand the 'why' of it.There are those who say that Jesus, the apostles and Paul all preached the same gospel.

It is not the gospel that was/is different; but rather, it is the two folds that He must bring that are different.The twelve were taught by Jesus. Jesus and the twelve preached the gospel of the Davidic kingdom on earth so that makes it a different gospel that what Paul preached.
They were not all preaching the same gospel throughout the Bible.
