Agreement about "The Gospel"?

[GRACE ambassador]

Precious friends, concerning "God's Good News":

a) some claim "only one gospel" beginning with Adam, the first in "The Body of Christ"
[ Universalism? ];

b) others claim "only one gospel for all time", but "The Body Of Christ began at Pentecost
(Peter the first 'member'?)";

c) And, Finally, the view of more than one gospel, and "Paul is the first 'member'
of The Body Of Christ, With A New And Different 'Good News' than previously
preached.

We are sure all of these Bible students are sincere in what "they believe," but, due to the
mass Confusion involved, we suggest that we start over, if you will, and find God's Word Of
Truth, Rightly Divided (Rule # 2 BSR) for "Approval Unto God," instead of Confusion. Amen?

First, this brief introduction:

1) "the name" of this 'good news'?:

"...The gospel of Jesus Christ..." (Mark 1:1 AV)​

​

/ to earthly Israel:​

​

"...the gospel of the kingdom..." (Matthew 4:23, 9:35; Mark 1:14 AV)​

= good news for God's [ Previous ] dispensation of:

prophecy / covenants / law / Christ on earth / 12 apostles / to earthly 12 tribes of Israel
Correct?

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

Mystery / Grace / One apostle / Christ [ Head of The Church ], From Heaven /

This verse summarizes the gospel.

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 1 Cor. 15:1-5

 

[GRACE ambassador]

Part 1 Agreement With The Gospel?

Intro is here...

... a) some claim "only one gospel" beginning with Adam, the first in "The Body of Christ" = = = = [ Universalism? ];...

Precious friends, in accordance with “Let ALL things be done Decently and In Order!”
(Rule # 1 BSR), let us now examine God's Word Of Truth, if In Biblical Fact:

1) Adam heard the one [ and same ] good news that we now know God Committed To
Paul in The Revelation Of The Mystery, "The Death, Burial, and Resurrection Of
The Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 AV), and if:

2) Adam did, in fact, understand it, and look forward [ opposite of "we look
backward" ] to The Cross, believing That "Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed
God," and was thus, same as we - are "Saved By Grace Through faith,
Apart from all works of the law"? (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:4-7 AV),
and if:

3) Adam was "Baptized By The One Spirit Into The One Body Of Christ"
(1 Corinthians 12:13 AV)?:

What Saith The Scripture?:

"And The LORD God Said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, ​

thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon ​

thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: ​

​

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.​

​

Unto the woman He Said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy ​

conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire ​

shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ​

​

And unto Adam He Said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of ​

thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, ​

Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt ​

thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ​

​

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the ​

herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou ​

return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, ​

and unto dust shalt thou return." (Genesis 3:14-19 AV) ​

A) How exactly, is all this 'bad news' that "The LORD God...":

1) "... Said Unto the serpent..." ​

​

2) "...Unto the woman He Said..." ​

​

3) "...Unto Adam He Said..." ​

claimed to be the 'one good news' to Adam and Eve?

B) And, a little further, what 'good news' did Adam and Eve (or God?) say
"unto their children"?:

​

"And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ​

ground an offering unto The LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings ​

of his flock and of the fat thereof. ​

​

And The LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to ​

his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. ​

​

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance ​

fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, ​

sin lieth at the door" (Genesis 4:3-7 AV) ​

Was Abel, at That time. then "Baptized By The Holy Spirit Into The [ Jew and Gentile
Joint ] Body Of Christ [ the 'One New man'" (Ephesians 2:15 AV) ], when He obeyed
"God's Commandment" to bring "the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof" to
"be accepted Of God"?

Again, how exactly is this the Exact same one gospel "Of The Grace Of God," that He
Committed To Paul, In God's "Revelation Of The Mystery"? Did God Not "Say It" to
Adam, because at 'that time', It Was Still A Secret "Hid In God" (Ephesians 3:9 AV)?

Thus, Biblically, this 'claim' of Universalism is incorrect, Correct?

Amen.

[gordon7]

Great teaching to be continued..



1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Part 2 Agreement With The Gospel?

Intro is here, Part 1 is here...

...b) others claim "only one gospel for all time", but [ disagreeing with Universalism? saying ] "The Body Of Christ began later than Adam"...

Precious friends, before we get to the Twelve and their good news, let us examine:

1) understanding the preaching of the gospel to Abraham:

"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." (Galatians 3:8 AV)​

So, was "the [ one? ] gospel" to Abraham "The Death, Burial, And Resurrection Of Christ"
and for him to look forward to "The Cross" so God Could "Count faith in that [ one? ] gospel" for righteousness? - What Saith The Scripture?:

"After these things The Word of The LORD came unto Abram in a vision, ​

saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ​

And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go childless, ​

and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, ​

Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is ​

mine heir. ​

​

And, Behold, The Word of The LORD Came Unto him, Saying, This shall not ​

be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall ​

be thine heir. And He brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward​

heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto ​

him, So shall thy seed be." (Genesis 15:1-5 AV)​

​

"And he believed in The LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness." ​

(Genesis 15:6 AV) ​

Thus:

1) Would one gospel advocates expect us to interpret:

"look now toward heaven" as "look forward to The Cross" to "be counted righteous"?​

2) Perchance, upon this counting, "The Spirit Baptized Abram as the first
'member' Of The One Body * Of Christ"? According to the one gospel?

-----------------------------------------
Intermediate question:

If there is only one(?) gospel, then why are there four gospels of​

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?​

---------------------------------------------

Amen.

* Did you know that only Paul writes about "The Body Of Christ"?

to be continued in Part 3...

 

[MatthewG]

This verse summarizes the gospel.

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 1 Cor. 15:1-5

That’s true.

 

[GRACE ambassador]

Part 3 Agreement With The Gospel?

Intro is here, Part 1 here, Part 2 here...

...b) others claim "only one gospel for all time", but 'claim' "The Body Of Christ
began at Pentecost"...

1) understanding the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom:

"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." (Matthew 4:23, 9:35; Mark 1:14 AV)​

​

aka: "...the gospel of the circumcision...unto Peter" { and the eleven? }​

(Galatians 2:7 AV) [ makes ↑ sense ↑, according to Romans 15:8 AV, eh? ]​

a) How is that there is "a gospel" before this, when we find this designation in

"the gospel" of Mark in chapter 1, verse 1 AV:​

"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God"​

Whoa! if this is "the beginning of "the one [ and only ? ] gospel," then the
'one gospel for all times' claim fails, eh? So, we will leave interpretation
of this to others who are 'above my simpleton pay grade', eh?

b) Perchance the following is the one [ of all time ] gospel, preached when 70 were

sent out, by Christ, on earth, with "the [ different? ] gospel of the kingdom" to​

preach and heal, before The Cross?​

"After these things The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them​

two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself​

would come...And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them,​

The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.​

But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways​

out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city,​

which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye​

sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you...​

​

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works​

had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a​

great while ago repented...​

​

...And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils​

are subject unto us through Thy Name."​

(Complete context in Luke 10:1-17; cp Matthew 10:5-15; Mark 6:7-13 AV) ​

[ Perchance can anyone tell us of a historical occurrence in the last 2000 years of
any other 70 who have went out "preached, healed all, and returned again with this
"same JOY" with the so-called 'one gospel'? Would not such an occurrence be in
accordance with "God's Will" in 'the gospel' of John 14:12 AV? ]

If "come nigh" and "at hand" are the same, then seems to me this is exactly
"What Jesus, on earth, said was "the gospel of the kingdom", Correct?:

"And [ John the baptizer ] Saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand...​

...From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom ​

of heaven is at hand...And [ Jesus ] Saying, The time is fulfilled, and the ​

kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." ​

(Matthew 3:2...4:17...Mark 1:15 AV)​

Did they [ along with all the OT "saints of faith" ] also understand and
'say' "believe on / look forward to [ The Cross ] The Death, Burial, and
Resurrection Of Christ"?

How and Where exactly, is Paul's Message [ The Gospel Of Grace ] found in the OT
and in the four gospels, understood, and 'preached', when we have "This Record":

"Then He took unto Him the twelve, and Said unto them, Behold, we ​

go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets​

concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For He shall be​

delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully​

entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge Him, and put​

​

Him to Death [ On The Cross ]: and the third day He shall rise again. ​

​

And they understood NONE of these things: and This Saying Was Hid​

from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken."​

(Luke 18:31-34 AV)​

If "The Body Of Christ" did not start until Pentecost, then to what assembly do all the
recipients repenting/believing [ and being water baptized according to ] the above
gospel of the kingdom belong?

Seems to me the one gospel adherents have a lot of explaining to do about the
"misunderstood one gospel theory/theology," eh?

Amen.

 

[GRACE ambassador]

Part 4 Agreement With 'The Gospel'?

Intro is here, Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here...

Precious friends, due to the following Plain and Clear Scripture,...:

"Then He took unto Him the twelve, and Said Unto them...​

...And they shall scourge Him, and put​

​

Him to Death [ On The Cross ]: and the third day He shall rise again. ​

​

And they understood NONE of these things: and This Saying Was ​

Hid from them, neither knew they the things Which Were Spoken."​

(Luke 18:31-34 AV) [ By Christ, on the earth, ↑ ↑ Correct? ↑ ↑ ↑ ]​

...we Certainly Disagree with 'one' gospel adherents, because:

1) It was impossible to preach the "misunderstood Death of Christ, saying "look

forward to The Cross" [ which Cannot be found ], at that time, or any time ​

previously. And then, to make matters more Confusing:​

2) Pronounce that Peter, at Pentecost, now understood it, and also preached it As

'good news' [ like God Revealed To Paul ], saying "look backward to The Cross" ​

[ which Cannot be found ] - However, The Following Was Found - ie:​

3) the gospel of the kingdom, According to:

prophecy / covenants / law, the Son of man, The earthly Jesus:

"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved ​

of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by ​

Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: ​

​

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of ​

God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: ​

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it ​

was not possible that He should be holden of it." (Acts 2:22-24 AV)​

​

Wait! Being "Accused of murder" is good news? Not in my Bible.

Conviction [ "pricked in the heart" ], eh? The Jewish hearers asking:

"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (v. 37) ​

God's Requirement "to be saved" under the gospel of the kingdom,
given to Peter [ and the eleven ], to preach to the [ Jewish/Israeli
gospel of the ] circumcision"?:

'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, His Death, Burial, and Resurrection, ​

and thou shalt be saved' [ Paul's Basic Message From Christ, in ​

Heaven ( to the uncircumcision ) ]?​

Or?:

"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." (Acts 2:38 AV) ​

(Other 'gospels' Confirmation: Matthew 3:1-2, 6, 11; ​

Mark 1:4, 8; Luke 3:2-3; Mark 16:15-18 AV)​

​

All this is in Strict Adherence to Christ's Words [ on earth! ] About The
Coming Of The Holy Ghost:

"But The Comforter, Which Is The Holy Ghost, Whom ​

The Father Will Send In My Name, He Shall Teach you all ​

things,..." [ Including Paul's "my Gospel Of The Mystery"? ]​

​

[ or? ]​

​

"...and bring all things to your remembrance, Whatsoever ​

{ on earth } I Have Said Unto you." (John 14:26 AV)​

Q: While He was on earth, Correct?

Thus we see Two Different gospels for Two Different assemblies:

a) prophecy / covenants / law / earthly gospel of the kingdom

​

Peter and all 'the saved' until Acts 9 Redemptively "added to The Lord", ​

in His earthly Kingdom assembly​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

B) Grace / Mystery / Heavenly Gospel Of The Grace Of God

Paul, the first member of [ and those saved thereafter 'added' To ] The Body ​

Of Christ, With God's New and Different Gospel, Considering our "hope is​

Heavenly!" According To What God Spoke To Paul, From Heaven...​

to be continued...

 

[GRACE ambassador]

Part 5 Agreement With 'The Gospel'?

Intro is here, Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here...

c) And, Finally, the view of more than one gospel, and "Paul is the first

'member' of The Body Of Christ," With A New And Different 'Good ​

News' than previously preached. ​

Precious friends:

Conclusion:

1) We believe God's 'One' Basis for "Forgiveness of sins/Righteousness"

Is The Death Of Christ, for all mankind of all ages, and this is​

Certainly "The Greatest News" of all.​

2) We believe there are several 'good news' gospels, As

Scripturally Confirmed By these latest Two gospels:​

3) God's Word Of Truth, Right Divided:

A) God's Context of:​

prophecy / covenants / law With Christ As The Humble Servant, ​

"minister of the circumcision" and to be future King, on the earth:​

​

John [ the baptizer ], Christ, the 70 sent out, and the twelve, to the ​

"lost sheep of the house [ 12 tribes ] of Israel", preaching to them, ​

the gospel of the kingdom​

“faith plus works” Scriptural Requirements of this gospel:​

1) water baptism "For the remission of sins"​

(Matthew 3:6; Mark 1:4, 16:16; Luke 3:2-3; Acts 2:38 AV)​

​

2) keep the law of Moses ​

(Matthew 5:17-19, 19:16-17, 23:1-3 cp Acts 21:20, 22:12 AV) ​

​

3) righteousness Exceeding Pharisees’ (Matthew 5:20 AV) ​

​

4) forgive others first, then be forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15 AV) ​

​

5) sell all, take up cross, follow Christ (Matthew 19:21; ​

Mark 10:21 cp Acts 2:44-45, 4:34-37 AV) ​

​

6) endure unto the end (Matthew 24:13 AV)​

​

7) mercy toward others (works) (Matthew 25:34-40 AV)​

​

Scripturally Confirmed by "faith without works is dead" to​

"the twelve tribes of Israel" (James 1:1, 2:17, 20, 26 AV)​

​

[GRACE ambassador]

Part 6 Agreement With 'The Gospel'
Conclusion Part I is here...

Continued Conclusion Part II

...gospel of the kingdom

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

The Gospel Of The Grace Of God

B) God's Other Context of:

Mystery / Grace With Christ As The Risen and Glorified Head Of His Church,​

The One Body Of Christ, and Heavenly Minister Of Reconciliation:​

​

Paul, one apostle to the [ blinded Jews ] and the [ heathen ] Gentiles, ​

preaching Jesus Christ, According To [ Given By Christ, From Heaven ] ​

The Revelation of The Mystery:​

​

The Gospel Of The Grace Of God ​

1) Paul, Saved By Grace And Mercy, far apart from Jerusalem, the twelve ​

apostles, and their prophecy, covenants, and law, God Committing to​

him "The Dispensation Of The Grace Of God" (Ephesians 3:2 AV), With:​

2) Paul, the first 'member' of the One Body Of Christ, Baptized By The Spirit ​

in Acts Chapter 9, which is:​

​

a) the One New man [ not a woman 'bride' ] (Ephesians 2:15 AV), which is:​

​

b) A New 'creation' (2 Corinthians 5:17 AV), and Now:​

​

c) all members after Paul, "follow a pattern": ​

​

"Howbeit for this cause I obtained Mercy, that in me first ​

Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern ​

to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting." ​

(1 Timothy 1:16 AV) ​

+​

"Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me." (1 Corinthians 4:16 AV)​

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." (1 Corinthians 1:11 AV) ​

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children" (Ephesians 5:1 AV)​

"Brethren, be followers together of me..." (Philippians 3:17 AV)​

3) Two Requirements of The Gospel Of The Grace Of God: ​

"By Grace Through faith" Apart from all works, For God's ​

Eternal Salvation (Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; ​

Romans 3-5, 11:6; Titus 3:4-7 AV)​

​

4) The 'One Gospel' for Today, In Which God Forbids for another to ​

be preached, or mixed in, with His Gospel Of The Grace Of God:​

​

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into ​

The Grace Of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but ​

there be some that trouble you, and would pervert The Gospel Of Christ.​

​

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you ​

than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said ​

before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than ​

that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:6-9 AV)​

Lord, I pray that all brothers and sisters are in agreement with your One
Grace Gospel of today, and will not fall under this horrible curse. Amen.
