(I jest of course)The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." Galatians 3.8 NAS
I do not understand what the discussion is all about. There's only one gospel. Galatians 1.6-7.
Parts, portions of it were taught through the ages and even the inspired prophets of old (Old Testament literary prophets) spoke about the salvation and the grace to come through the sufferings of the Messiah. 1st Peter 1.10-12.
The gospel is universal. All are welcome, invited to receive it. The "Kingdom is at hand" was preached to the Jews. Later we find the gospel being preached to ALL Nations - Jew and Gentile. Colossians 1.6.23.

Many are called and few are chosen.
All that are chosen are called.
I did logic 101 a long time ago now. But there is no contradiction when one sees it in proper order. Putting the cart before the horse doesnt really work.
I can call many people to my party... or an audition but I can only pick a few to be the singers. But the invitation is open to all. Whether we take up the invite and decide or decide to audtion is up to us.
Who knows if God called other people other than Abraham to give the promised land to..the difference is maybe some of them didnt want to listen or hear Him. Then we see with abrahams children God blessed both Ishmael and Isaac, but only Isaac was chosen to be the heir. Isaac had twins jacob and esau, Esau refused his birthright so it went to Jacob, Jacob had twelve sons but it was only Judah who the Kings descended from. Since the others did things that forfeited the firstborn blessing. And so it goes down through history to Jesus lineage, who is the seed of abraham to inherit all the blessings...through one man's sin(adam) we all die but through another's righteouness (jesus) we are all made alive.

I re-read what I posted and what you all had posted.

Equally, it is outright ridiculous to take personal any Scripture posted on this forum. I simply was addressing the fact that there is only ONE GOSPEL presented first in types and shadows and later through the Son.
My original post on this was to dcontroversial where you seemed to think I needed correcting.
so you said that (posted) and my reply stands

I believe that God desires all of us to be saved. He wants to save all of his children and he wants us to leave our sinful selves and go back and have a relationship with him. God payed for our souls with a huge price, and that shows how valuable we are to him and how much he loves us and this is the beauty of it all. I believe that this is why God does want us all to be save. He also gives us a choice of either following him or the world, but he desires us to make the right decision of following him because he is the way, and no one else is.
