This is a simple question to which I could provide the answer to. But I would like to have a discourse about and why christians are not preaching the same message?
Jesus simply taught about the Salvation Gospel and no other. It was a covenant that was ancient from the time of Adam's creation and Christ's first advent was also when this covenant's redemption process was updated/modified/made like new again/refreshed.

Didn't he preach the gospel (good news) about the kingdom? This Kingdom is basically a government that God has made his Only Begotten Son King of. It is a government which God through his only Begotten Son who He has made King of this government destroy the works of Satan.
The reason I think most people don't preach about this Kingdom is they meaning most people believe it to be a rulership in the hearts of men.
Of all those that I have ever talked to in years passed, you are one of the very very few who seem to know what the gospel is. Pretty much everybody else thinks the gospel is about Jesus' sacrifice or about telling people about Jesus. However, Jesus will not be the only king in the kingdom of God.
I believe that those who are bought from mankind, and get a resurrection like Jesus, will be Kings priests and Judges with him in that Kingdom. They are the ones who will rule over Earth during the thousand year reign and beyond.
That's correct, but it would be nice to back it up with some scriptures. Why? Because some because many christians are sadly ignorant of the scriptures.....the church they attend tend to cherry pick and twist scrptures to support what they believe.
Out of curiosity, how do you handle Jesus calling you a Dog, as a Gentile. Did the cross resolve this problem?This is a simple question to which I could provide the answer to. But I would like to have a discourse about and why christians are not preaching the same message?
Can you provide scriptures to back that up? What do you mean by salvation gospel?
How about Matthew 13:52

I would be quite happy as Jesus' dog living off the scraps that fall from His table,
But, Alleluia!, in His mercy, He has invited us gentiles into His union with His bride.
Christ IS risen!
Alleluia!
The Gospel that Jesus proclaimed was repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand...
Thanks. However, it's missing an important part.....the part that comes before starting in verse 47 to 52.
Matthew 13:47-52 (KJV)
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
In Mathew 13:47-52 Jesus is saying that not everybody who hear the kingdom of God preach is worthy of being in the kingdom of God.....so in the parable those who were not, were cast back out. The only reason they would be cast out into the lake of fire is because they didn't take their calling seriously. This will not happen until a hundred years after the end of the thousand year rule of Jesus and the saints.
