Thanks. So we are in agreement then that they understood the death and resurrection of Jesus. There is nothing preventing them from preaching it, and they did.

Jesus preached the gospel of God (Mark 1:14) which is the gospel of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:15). Paul also preached the gospel of God (Romans 1:1). I see it as the same gospel, and Paul himself tells us in Galatians that there is only one gospel. This is what I would teach a newbie.

Jesus’ words - his teaching and preaching, his good news / gospel - are spirit and life. They are the new covenant, which was ratified by his blood.

Jesus spoke about his death and resurrection, before and following those events.

Thank you for laying your position out for me. I found it easy to understand and follow. My understanding is that Jesus and Paul (and all of the other apostles) preached the same gospel. First to the Jew, then to the gentile. The gospel preached by Jesus is my gospel, is for me. He has the...

His posts made under the username “asoul” now appear as posts made by ”LexMundy”. I don’t know what that’s all about. Everyone needs a break from them from time to time. Recognizing it and taking a break is a good thing. I respect you as well. Many think, and some will boldly say, that I am...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed: ”In 1400, it took monks a year to copy a Bible. Only institutions and the wealthy could afford one. Most people were illiterate. For centuries, the Catholic Church protected the Word of God from heretical translations - another reason to thank God for the...
