I know that, there was the “kingdom gospel” Christ preached on during his earthly ministry but there’s also the gospel message written in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) that the same message to what Paul preach. I wonder if these things coming from the lips of Christ would not be applicable to me and to Paul.
Would you dissect to me why it is not?
Thanks
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Man, yer totally clueless and of course we don't see any scripture to back up yer clueless claim - Paul was also a minister to the Jews preaching the same gospel to THEM and the Gentiles:
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Now be off with yer BS.
On yer bike mate. ----------------->
And take yer hook with ya.

lol, it's always interesting to watch the approach in a conversation with an ultra or hyper dispy. First I try narrowing it down from A9d,A2d,13 or a 28'er and go from there. I see the verse on rightly dividing as written from an pastoral context and so a youth understands this while a teenager another working it's way to the very old. An old man who began reading the bible as a teenager needs not much dividing while a man in his 40's who has read half way through the bible has the other half to go. And so it is a necessity to rightly devide it just like an mother serves one plate for her husband and another type serving for their child, a glass of tea for her and her husband but a screw on lid type sippy cup for the child.
Studying this now if your interested..
The Gospel of the Kingdom was a part of Israel’s program. Did Paul ever minister on “kingdom ground” in any part of the book of Acts? No. Unlike Peter’s message in Acts 3:19-26, Paul never preached a message offering Israel her kingdom (for instance, read Paul’s sermon in Acts 13, which offers forgiveness now without Law-keeping [verses 38-39], unlike Israel’s future forgiveness in Acts 3:19).
During the book of Acts, Paul preached Jesus was the Son of God, Christ/Messiah (Acts 9:20,27,29; Acts 13:25-39; Acts 17:2-3; Acts 18:5; Acts 19:4; Acts 26:22-23; et cetera), probably using Daniel 9:25-26 to show the timing of Messiah’s crucifixion, and how it matched with the time of Jesus’ death (proving that Jesus was Israel’s Messiah, for He fulfilled Daniel’s prophecy on time). Paul then proceeded to preach to Israel how her now-rejected Messiah had gone to the Gentiles through his ministry, and was now doing something separate from her prophetic program. This was how Paul’s ministry to Israel operated in the book of Acts. The book of Acts confirms that Paul never offered Israel her kingdom, so Paul could not have been saved by the Gospel of the Kingdom. He could not have preached a Gospel that had not saved him. Paul did not preach the Gospel of the Kingdom because his ministry was completely separate from that message and program.
