Paul preached " Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again" as the gospel.
1 Corinthians 15: 3,4.
It was offensive then and still is today to many that hear it.
Gal 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Paul said " if I preach circumcision... "
If he had preached the law he would be fine.
Because he preached the cross he suffered persecution.
How many preach a prosperity gospel today?
How many preach to please men with a non offensive gospel?
I have heard many man made gospel's in my time.
None of them was offensive, none of them were Paul's gospel.
This is an amazing verse :
1Co_1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
When I preach the gospel I get different responses, some are downright nasty, and some just don't want to know, they could not care less.
Some postpone a response, and most have trusted another gospel and cannot see the light of the gospel Paul preached because Satan deceives them.
2Co_4:4 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.
No matter the gospel is preached, it is the glorious gospel when you see its light, to know who Christ is and what He has done for us is indeed glorious.
I can rejoice in the Lord always, I hope you can too.
isn’t it that those who claim “ Paul’s gospel “ cuts out everything in the gospel of the kingdom Jesus preached That’s offensive to people ?
when you use Jesus death to cut out his everlasting words of judgement and eternal life , it does tend not to offend people but it tends to be seen for what it actually is doing
the argument that the gospel Jesus does and rose , is everything and the reason you cut our Gods word of salvation and judgement
To be clear it is the ultra grace misinterpretation of the gospel some people insist upon . Of Jesus death and resurrection doesn’t lead you to accept Jesus words it’s not working . It doesn’t work because the message your watching always always is “
Jesus died and rose nothing else applies Paul preached the gospel the end “
the issue is you try to use Paul’s words to cut out Peter , John , Jesus , the prophets and law all of it and say the is two line quote here is what cute out anything else nothing applies
so then when you see this stuff in
Paul’s letters you become offended at the truth in the gospel and keep reverting back to something every Christian believes already because this offends you
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 KJV
even though you claim Paul’s gospel you reject everything he said about repentance and living right and what happens if you don’t your reason is to just repeat a wuote about the cross and that’s the the reason nothing else applies
jesus life and death and resurrection is offensive to no Christian but Jesus words are super offensive to many hypergrace believers who are thought his words don’t apply to them
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And
I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
When you say “ Paul’s so called gospel eliminated Jesus Gospel of his eternal
Kingdom he preached and made available to mankind
it is your wacky interpretation that some Christians who believe the gospel may seem to be offended but it’s just that they realize Jesus dying and being raised to life made his words eternal for jew or Gentiles
to whom they were sent
it’s probably my why paul says this
“If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
1 Timothy 6:3-5 KJV
when you use a quote from Paul out the gospel and say that quote eliminates every other word he wrote in 13 epistles I think it becomes obvious what’s happened
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV
When Christs sacrifice is used to erase Christs words it’s because one of those teachers have taught it when we have to Insist Jesus didn’t preach the real gospel , it’s a lie we’re spreading
Jesus was chosen from before the creation of the world to preach the gospel , Paul was one of those who believed in Jesus and was a servant and witness of his belief like all the other apostles
it’s a terrible thing to try to erase Jesus word from justification and eternal life
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
instead insisting it isn’t the gospel ……sad to hear and see
