that came to Paul, the apostle, directly from The Resurrected Christ In Heaven

Joseph that “thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for He Shall Save His people
from their sins” (Matt. 1:21). Israel was Jesus’ people, for He Himself was
a Jew.

Preaching The Gospel Of The Grace of God, Paul spoke of Christ, “Who Gave
Himself A Ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Tim. 2:6). This Gospel
included both Jews and Gentiles. The due time for its proclamation was after

GRACE And Peace...

Most seem to think there is Grace, they create their own gospel, that is why there are so many faiths. The Guess who had a great line in one of their songs that is very truthful, too many churches too little truth.

No. There is only one gospel. Pitting Paul against Jesus is an egregious error.

(K Lawson)

That is pretty much FALSE DOCTRINE DOUBLE-SPEAK (a.k.a. like Newspeak from Orwellian's 1984 book).

There is ONLY one Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is the SAME Gospel that all the Apostles and disciples had, including Apostle Paul.

By misunderstanding the following simple verses by Apostle Paul, those on men's false Hyper-Grace doctrines of dual gospels have created a whole other doctrine that is false!

Gal 2:7-8
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For He That wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles
KJV

That word "apostleship" means a 'commission', a 'stewardship', an 'administration'. It DOES NOT MEAN TWO GOSPELS. Thus the Hyper-Grace doctors have created garbage with their theory of two different gospels. Paul NEVER spoke of two different gospels EXCEPT when he was pointing to a false gospel not of The One Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, BOTH Peter and Paul preached the SAME Gospel of Jesus Christ, but one preached it to Jews, and the other to Gentiles, and to Jews, and to kings (Acts 9 of what Christ said He chose Paul to do.)

Even Bible scholars like E.W. Bullinger in the 19th century held to the false Hyper-Dispensationalist theory, of dual gospels. I love the KJV study Bible he put together, but he erred with this dual gospel doctrine which influenced many after him. Bullinger also erred with support of the false Pre-trib Rapture theory, which was popular in his day. So really, this dual gospel idea is an offshoot of John Nelson Darby's Dispensationalist theories.

That is correct. Hyper-Dispensationalism is seriously in error about the Gospel as well as about several other doctrines. It should be totally rejected.

There is only one Gospel.
"Jesus is the lamb slain before the foundation of the world."

I humbly apologize for the confusion. Yes, Under GRACE (Romans - Philemon),
there Is Certainly Only ONE Gospel Of GRACE, for us, ONE Body, Today, The
ONE New man (Eph 2:15), Designated For God's Heavenly Purpose,
According To The "Revelation Of The MYSTERY"!

This then is not to be confused, the traditional masses trying to homogenize
It with the Previous (Age and) Dispensation Of Prophecy And LAW, for Israel,
God's earthly Purpose, with His "gospel of the kingdom" (in 4 gospels),
but must be:

There is only one gospel. Jesus and Paul both preached it.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

To all:

I believe there is only one gospel.
I believe the gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

1st Corinthians 15:1-4

1 “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
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;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”​

Some believe there is more than one gospel, and others believe there are different aspects of the gospel message. For example: Some believe Revelation 14:6-7 is but one piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole picture of the gospel message.

I did a search at BlueLetterBible.org on the keyword “gospel” and looked at every occurrence in Scripture every time it appeared. According to my study: I found that at first glance it may appear to look like the gospel may be different in scope or meaning when reading different parts of Scripture, but this is not the case. The gospel is always 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. So the gospel is believing that Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and He was risen three days later on our behalf for salvation.

Now, some may immediately protest and throw down Galatians 3:8 that says, “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.” However, how are all the nations of the Earth blessed? By the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ died for not only the Jew, but He died for the Gentile. Jesus will one day resurrect bodily those people in all nations after the likeness of His resurrection. So all the nations of the Earth would be blessed by this good news (i.e. by their believing that Christ died for their sins, He was buried, and He was risen 3 days later for their salvation). That is how all nations of the Earth will be truly blessed because they will live again (by the power of the resurrection), and be with the Lord for all eternity in His Kingdom. Abraham’s descendants will be like the stars of the sky because of the resurrection. Now, that truly is a blessing unto all nations indeed, and it is only possibly by what Christ has done for us.

(Continued in next post):

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Some may also protest that the gospel is not just 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 by bringing up Romans 2:16.

“In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.” (Romans 2:16).

So is the judging of the secrets of men by Jesus Christ a part of the gospel message? I don’t believe so. The English word “accordance” can mean “agreement” or “harmony.”

Accordance | Definition of Accordance by Webster's Online Dictionary

In other words, Jesus will judge the secrets of men that is in agreement with the gospel message given by Paul. So men’s secrets will be judged by Jesus by their rejection of the gospel.

So Romans 2:16 is saying that Jesus will judge the secrets of men that is in agreement or harmony with Paul’s gospel (He received from God).

I would say that the two most challenging or unclear pieces of Scripture on the gospel is:

#1. Matthew 24:13-14, and
#2. Revelation 14:6-7.​

Matthew 24:13-14
13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

Revelation 14:6-7
6 “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 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.”

Again, Paul said the gospel is this:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
1 “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
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;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”​

Paul says that even if themselves or an angel preach another gospel, let them be accursed.

Galatians 1:6-9
6 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 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.
9 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.”​

If you were to notice, this gospel in Galatians 1 is grace centered. Verse 6 says that these Galatian believers were being removed from the grace of Christ unto another gospel. This was the gospel of circumcision (law) which is the opposite of grace.

So how do we reconcile passages like Matthew 24:13-14, and Revelation 14:6-7 with the gospel message revealed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4?

Matthew 24:13-14 and Revelation 14:6-7 do not sound grace centered at first glance or with a quick surface reading.

Well, in Matthew 24:13-14, I currently believe the gospel (or good news) of “he that endures to the end shall be saved” is referring to Jesus or Christ in you (the hope of glory). Jesus transforms our life and helps us to endure to the end. So the gospel is at the heart is Jesus here. For Jesus said we can do nothing without Him (John 15:5). The gospel of Jesus being our Savior (with Him forgiving sins) is the proto-gospel or more basic primary gospel message preached before the cross (Before Paul revealed the more fuller gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). We can only endure because Christ is our Savior.

In Revelation 14:6-7, there are two possibilities of understanding this passage.

One possibility is that the angel is simply given an introductory message before revealing the gospel message. In other words, the words in verse 7 is not the actual gospel message, but it is an intro before the angel preaches the gospel that we do not get to hear in Revelation.

A second possibility (of which I lean more towards) is that the angel is giving us a coded message of the good news package (which is all about God working in our life), and believing the glorious gospel message.

1. “Fear God” would be by the conviction of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8-9) and the drawing of Christ (John 12:32).
2. “Give glory to Him [God]” would be by believing the glorious gospel message which is all about Jesus Christ - who is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4). For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; (2 Corinthians 4:5).
3. “Worship Him [God]” is only possible by the grace of God. Jesus is the grace of God. Jesus is GOD, and so we worship (praise) Him, and His redemption. We praise Jesus and His redemptive work. We glory in Jesus the good news message of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Romans 11:36 says, “FOR OF HIM, AND THROUGH HIM, AND TO HIM, ARE ALL THINGS: TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER. AMEN.”
It is God’s purpose “that no flesh should glory in His presence,” but “he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:29-31). Note: I am aware that worship can be done by the way we live for God. But in this case, I believe it is a form of praising the Lord Jesus Christ and His redemptive work. For it is written: “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,...” (Galatians 6:14).
​

We also fear GOD because Scripture warns that to obey not the gospel is fiery vengeance.

For 2 Thessalonians 1:8 says:
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”

Believing (or obeying) the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 also leads to further glory to God because it guides us to call upon the name of the Lord (seeking forgiveness over our sins with Jesus) for salvation saying “Lord Jesus” (See: Romans 10:12-13, and Romans 10:9). For every tongue will one day confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (See: Philippians 2:11). We worship (praise) and glorify what the Lord did for us. We glorify and bow before Jesus in that He died for our sins, He was buried, and risen the third day. We stand in awe of our amazing God of grace (Jesus Christ) and His love or us. We praise Him, and sing to Him of His sacrifice.

So there is only one gospel and it has only one message as found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

For a further explanation on my alternate (or first) explanation on Revelation 14:6-7, see here.

I hope this helps, and may God bless you all.

Nah, you're reading too much into it.

Paul simply meant judgment according to one's belief in The Gospel, or disbelief. And indeed THIS idea is most definitely about The Gospel which INCLUDES the warning of God's Judgment against the unbeliever who will be cast into the future "lake of fire" and perish.

As a matter of fact, lot of modern Churches need to get back... to preaching that warning in The Gospel of Jesus Christ about the danger of hell fire for those who refuse Christ Jesus!!!

I believe in two aspects of salvation that we as believers need to be concerned with in this life.

#1. We are saved by God’s grace through faith without works in our INITIAL Salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) (cf. Ephesians 2:1).
#2. After we are saved by God’s grace, we are then saved by the Sanctification of the Holy Spirit (to live a holy life) and by a continued belief of the core doctrines in God’s Word (See: 2 Thessalonians 2:13, and Romans 8:13).​

The gospel before the cross is a more simplistic form or version of the gospel revealed by the apostle Paul.
The gospel before the cross is faith in Jesus as the Messiah. Believing in the good news of Jesus as Savior would include Christ abiding in us (Which then leads to us being changed because of Jesus making His abode or home in our hearts).
The gospel was more fleshed out and realized after the resurrection and it was completely revealed to us in detail by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. We must believe that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and risen the third day for our salvation.

The gospel call is…. God has chosen you to salvation through the sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the truth (See: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14). The gospel call is not the gospel (or good news). It’s not good news if we just have to live holy and it is nothing else. The good news of Jesus Christ is being initially saved by God’s grace (Jesus) and in abiding in Him who will change our lives (if we let Him).

There is only ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The reason why Apostle Paul said things like, "my gospel", was because of how false crept in unawares, particularly converts of the Pharisees, were trying to push another gospel...

Gal 1:6-7
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
KJV

Right there Paul is warning about those who try to corrupt the ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ with pushing "another gospel". In 2 Corinthians 11 he gave more definition to that rebuke...


2 Cor 11:2-15
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Paul is getting ready to reveal those who pervert the ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ. And already there he is linking how Satan seduced Eve with this false working against The Gospel.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Paul fears they might listen to those who come preaching "another Jesus". Did you not know Lord Jesus warned His servants about the coming of 'another Jesus' that will claim to be Him, working great signs and wonders that IF it were possible, would deceive even Christ's very elect? Who here reading this didn't already know about that for the end of this world, and those here on earth then and today who are behind it?


5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

Paul is being modest, submitting that even though he was not among the 12 Apostles, even though, Christ has manifested His Truth through Paul, and Paul had wholly submitted himself to The Lord's work in The Gospel. So a little boasting there, but still well deserved by Paul.


12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Did you not know there are "false apostles" that are actually wolves in sheep's clothing, working within the Churches? This is why we each need to understand God's Word for ourselves asking God's help, and especially the warnings for the latter days by Lord Jesus and His Apostles.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
KJV

The bottom line, is that Apostle Paul well knew that Satan's host of the children of darkness creep into Christ's Church and setup themselves up as apostles and ministers of Christ. And not just that, but Satan himself transforms himself into an "angel of light". What's that about?

That reveals that Paul well understood Satan's future role as the coming Antichrist at the end of this world, which is how that pseudo-Christ in future Jerusalem will work those great signs and wonders to deceive the whole world.

Therefore, that... is the purpose of those men who are behind the preaching of "another gospel" other than the ONE TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

We also have to understand that the King James Bible (Which is my standard or foundation) was written in archaic English (That has even influenced Modern Bibles in some instances). To fail to take this into account is to potentially misread the text.

Anyways, we have to ask ourselves, if the gospel is more than being saved by God’s grace (like in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4), then what of Paul’s words in Galatians 1:6? For Paul says… “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:” (Galatians 1:6). Was Paul’s whole point about the Galatians not recognizing the secrets of men being judged? Or was Paul talking about being saved by God’s grace (over them falsely thinking they had to first be circumcised to be Initially saved)? See: Galatians 5:2, Galatians 2:3, and Acts of the Apostles 15:1.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

There is only ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The reason why Apostle Paul said things like, "my gospel", was because of how false crept in unawares, particularly converts of the Pharisees, were trying to push another gospel...

Gal 1:6-7
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
KJV

Right there Paul is warning about those who try to corrupt the ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ with pushing "another gospel". In 2 Corinthians 11 he gave more definition to that rebuke...


2 Cor 11:2-15
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Paul is getting ready to reveal those who pervert the ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ. And already there he is linking how Satan seduced Eve with this false working against The Gospel.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Paul fears they might listen to those who come preaching "another Jesus". Did you not know Lord Jesus warned His servants about the coming of 'another Jesus' that will claim to be Him, working great signs and wonders that IF it were possible, would deceive even Christ's very elect? Who here reading this didn't already know about that for the end of this world, and those here on earth then and today who are behind it?


5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

Paul is being modest, submitting that even though he was not among the 12 Apostles, even though, Christ has manifested His Truth through Paul, and Paul had wholly submitted himself to The Lord's work in The Gospel. So a little boasting there, but still well deserved by Paul.


12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Did you not know there are "false apostles" that are actually wolves in sheep's clothing, working within the Churches? This is why we each need to understand God's Word for ourselves asking God's help, and especially the warnings for the latter days by Lord Jesus and His Apostles.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
KJV

The bottom line, is that Apostle Paul well knew that Satan's host of the children of darkness creep into Christ's Church and setup themselves up as apostles and ministers of Christ. And not just that, but Satan himself transforms himself into an "angel of light". What's that about?

That reveals that Paul well understood Satan's future role as the coming Antichrist at the end of this world, which is how that pseudo-Christ in future Jerusalem will work those great signs and wonders to deceive the whole world.

Therefore, that... is the purpose of those men who are behind the preaching of "another gospel" other than the ONE TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Yes, there is only one gospel of Jesus Christ.

There is no doubt that we have to be willing to turn away from sin and seek to overcome sin in this life when we first come to Jesus Christ and His grace (seeking forgiveness with Him and in believing the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). I believe the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 can lead men to break down before the Lord Jesus and seek forgiveness with Him over their past life of sin. This is indeed with the intent to put away sin.

There are those who falsely accepted another Jesus thinking that Christ died for them as a present day sinner and that they don’t have to change their life to be saved and they can just remain in their sins on some level. This is false. There is no hope in this kind of belief. I have heard one poster on this forum tell me of his initial salvation experience. He told me he heard a preacher tell him Christ died for the ungodly and he took this to mean that this applies to how he does not need to change to be saved. He can just keep being ungodly and believe Christ died for him to be saved. But this is false. This is a false gospel and a false Jesus. No doubt about it. Titus 2:11-12 says God grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live righteously and godly in this present world.

GOD’S WORD Translation clarifies what the KJB says in this particular instance.

Romans 2:16 (GW)
“This happens as they face the day when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge people’s secret thoughts. He will use the Good News that I am spreading to make that judgment.”

Side Note:

Please keep in mind I am Core KJB and not KJB Only. The KJB is my core or foundation. The KJB is the perfect Word of God and it is my final Word of authority. While I use Modern bibles at times to help update the 1600’s English in the KJB at times, it does not mean Modern Bibles are my final Word of authority (like the KJB). For Modern Bibles do have many problems within them (Although they can be of a great benefit and help when updating the archaic words in the KJB).

We also have to understand that the King James Bible (Which is my standard or foundation) was written in archaic English (That has even influenced Modern Bibles in some instances). To fail to take this into account is to potentially misread the text.

Not hardly anyone that uses a KJV is using that Old English text you're referring to, which is about the 1st edition KJV. Later editions removed most of that Old English character spelling and language usage. Words like 'thee' and 'thou' are not enough to misread the KJV text, so I disagree strongly with your assumption.

Anyways, we have to ask ourselves, if the gospel is more than being saved by God’s grace (like in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4), then what of Paul’s words in Galatians 1:6? For Paul says… “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:” (Galatians 1:6). Was Paul’s whole point about the Galatians not recognizing the secrets of men being judged? Or was Paul talking about being saved by God’s grace (over them falsely thinking they had to first be circumcised to be Initially saved)? See: Galatians 5:2, Galatians 2:3, and Acts of the Apostles 15:1.

Like I already said about Paul using the "my gospel" reference, he was NOT speaking of any other gospel than that of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the SAME Gospel the other Apostles had.
