Now, who's the 'heretic'?
It would be the person who teaches that the "sermon on the Mount" is Paul's Gospel.

Now, who's the 'heretic'?
Obviously a heretic!It would be the person who teaches that the "sermon on the Mount" is Paul's Gospel.
Obviously a heretic!
How about the Gospel only took flight through Apostle Paul, and there was no Gospel before that, in your post?
Thank you.
Whatever happened to Jesus's Good News, that the Kingdom of God was at hand? Was it all a mistake? Or worse, the Kingdom of God was never going to come; it was all posturing, an empty offer that Jesus knew was going to be rejected?
If so, I want to know what else Jesus lied to us about.
You have a stunted view of the bible, Behold.The Holy Bible is God's Foreknowledge revealed.
We disagree, that's your 'shortsightedness' to the scripture context and sound doctrine of the New Testament, 'twisted' and 'spun' version.In the "time of the gentiles" there is one Gospel.
Jesus could not have shared this message during His Ministry, because He had not died on The Cross, during His Ministry, which means the "time of the Gentiles" had not yet begun.
After Jesus rose again, He didnt return to his "Minstry" as He had completed it.
So, when we are discussing "THE" Gospel, this does not mean that others are not represented in the Bible,....but regarding "the time of the Gentiles" which we are currently in..... there is only ONE Gospel.
Just one.
"Paul's".
All others are : Galatians 1:8
Fundamental to Christian Life and Faith: The Pentecost Preaching Of The Apostle Peter:Real students of the Bible are taught something very Specific, so that the bible will "open itself" to their spiritual discernment.
When i teach my students, we center our study on this very thing, along with the study of God's Grace...first and foremost.
I teach then to believe the Bible, love the Bible, trust the bible, and get their spiritual power and enlightenment from the Bible.
The Bible is the "sword of the Spirit" and you have to learn how to handle the sword or the devil is going to defeat you, with His deceptions.
Now, Paul teaches the '"Specific " as "Rightly divide" the word of God.
Notices carefully....."Divide"..., as in "divisions"........as in this....
= The Bible is a eternal spiritual book of Light that is the full record and account of God's dealing with mankind.
And to "divide" this "rightly"..... you have to understand that God never changes, but His dealings with mankind changes from Genesis to Revelation.
Thus the "divisons" found in the word of God.
These "divisions" can be thought of as "seasons", as the Bible explains.
So, there are many of these divisions in the word of God, wereby God did something different with Mankind...regarding His Dealing with Man.
The BIBLE is a spiritual book of progressive revelation. It shows you more and more and more.
Notice Reader........ that in the Garden of Eden, you have NO Moses's Law.........so, when Moses Law came, that is a division that separates FROM, Adam to Moses.
See it?
And another would be from Moses Law to The Cross of Christ..
That is Law to Grace.
See it? See the change?
We can also consider this, as moving from the OT Old Covenant, to the NT New Covenant.
See that division, that change?
If you can see those, then that is "rightly dividing" the word of God.
Now another one is the "time of the Gentiles".......that started with The Cross of Christ and will end...... which BEGINS... the Tribulation.
See that change? Where God is doing something, and then It changes?
That is a division.........and to see it, is to "rightly divide" the world of God.
Now, currently we are in "the time of the Gentiles".....as the Cross began it 2000 yrs ago, and the Tribulation is going to signal the end of the "time of the Gentile".
Now in this "time of the gentiles" you have one Apostle who was personally chosen by JESUS... to be the "apostle to the Gentiles'", in "the times of the Gentiles".
Paul, is the "Apostle to the Gentiles"....and we are currently IN the "time of the gentiles".
So, Paul's Doctrine is FOR the "time of the Gentiles' where the Body of Christ , the NT Church is found.
Paul's Gospel is THE Gospel in the "time of the Gentiles", where the Body of Christ, the NT Church is found.
Paul's Gospel is the ONLY Gospel that God recognizes in "the time of the Gentiles', and all others are :
Galatians 1:8
Paul's Gospel has no water baptism in it..... Paul's Gospel is "justification by Faith" "without works or deeds of the Law"...... Pauls' Gospel is "all who believe in Jesus, shall be saved".
Paul's Gospel is....>"we preach Christ Crucified".. "the preaching of the Cross".
Reader, accept NO Substitute.
You have a stunted view of the bible, Behold.
