Which Gospel ???

 


John 3:16  Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”                   Believe what about Him?

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [AKJV]:  “Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scripture;”

Had a person tell me that these two scriptures were the same and that if one is “born again”  [John 3:3-7] he’s also a new creature [2 Cor 5:17], but that isn’t right, how can it be?  John was a Jew under the law and an apostle to the circumcision [Gal 2:1-10]; just read what it say’s and then tell me it's all the same; Paul’s gospel and the twelve’s gospel. Jesus came to:  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:” Romans 15:8.  Jesus taught under the law, Peter, James, and John spoke and wrote under the law.  Paul preached:  “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law but under grace.  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.d forbid.” Galatians 1:11-12.   Paul was given a new message not under law but under grace.“  

Sidebar:  God, the LORD Jesus Christ when asked of parables replied with:  “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Matthew 13:10-11.  Paul confirms this further by “ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14.  Get saved and it all makes sense.  Know you’re a sinner [one is not a sinner because one sins, one sins because he is a sinner.  Understand why you're a sinner and accept and believe God’s solution for sin and be saved.  Christendom has been taught wrongly for so long we now take error as truth and fight like hell when challenged, is not that the way of satan?  

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:1-6

Too many people don’t know how to read their scripture, then when you add in all the different denominations and then add all the different commentaries and then all the different pastors, teachers and evangelists, then add in all the different translations and then wonder why all the confusion, no wonder people are confused, but what’s hard to understand is why they stay confused.  The devil, satan has convinced all the confused to keep their pride and all will wind up in hell because they didn’t want to read the scripture that God gave us by King James, Luther, Tinsdale, Bullinger, and others today as Jordan, Devney, Feldick, and George teaching “rightly dividing”.  I’m quite sure there are others that they too have learned to “rightly divide” have accepted and believe what God has said through Paul to the “Church” the body of Christ for life in “this the dispensation of the grace of God through the gospel given and received by Paul to and for us: “in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”. Romans 2:16

    Oh, we’re a proud lot, We’ll do this, saying and believing their pastors, teachers, etc…  I believe what my pastor said this and you don’t so you are my enemy:   Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?  Galatians 4:16.  What did Paul do in those same conditions?  Galatians 4:16-20.  Paul’s gospel [1 Corinthians 15:1-4] one phrase stands out like a beacon in the dark and must don’t know it’s there,  “ unless ye have believed in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:2b

Eternal or Everlasting life; which is it?

John 3:16 (KJV)   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .” Why everlasting life, why not eternal life?   is there a difference and if so what? Most resources I have available were of the opinion that they are the same.   I needed to dig deeper.   I soon found that all of man’s ideas on the subject were based on their opinion and very little scripture if any, then the easily discounted.   If I am to find the answer I seek, which is truth; I need to consult scripture.   Words in blue aren’t scripture. “Let a man so account of us ( Paul and his fellow workers ), as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.   1 Corinthians 4:1.   So I was right to search the scriptures concerning my question: to find this answer in His Word. When I started this word study the first thing I noticed was that the most sig...

Importance of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   “ And if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.” I am amazed at how ignorant most are of their salvation.   I will ask “Why, do you think you’ll go to heaven?” or   What happens when you die?”   ninety nine out of a hundred will answer with “Jesus died for my sins.”   True; “Jesus died for the sins of the world, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”   John1:29b.   That is most true but also is “and if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.”   Jesus had to die for the purpose of removing sin, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”   2 Corinthians 5:19.   But this reconciliation can only come when one believes the gospel as pres...

When did the "Church" begin for us today ? ? ?

1 Timothy 1:15-16  (King James Version 1611):  " This is  a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (first, beginning Strong's Concordance # 4413).  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him for life everlasting. The "Church" didn't start with Peter and his presentation of Acts 2:38.  The "Church" started when Paul was on the Damascus Road.  Then it took numerous years in the desert for Paul to come to the understanding of "Faith plus nothing" (Les Feldick).  We are saved by grace through faith, who's faith (Romans 1:17)? "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,  If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12) he ma...
