What is even more odd is trying to fathom why people
Someone not reading and understanding the text.
Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters,
the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received,
in which you also stand,
by which you also are saved,
if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you,
unless you believed in vain.
For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according
to the Scriptures...(1 Corinthians 15)
Your seeing something that I must be missing?
by which you also are saved,
if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you
There is a secondary doctrine that I am aware of.
Matthew 7:12
In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Which is fulfilled by loving others as Christ loved us.
Here is where the confusion arises
.
People tend to see that loving others saves them
.
Only the gospel of Jesus Christ (Corinthians 1:15) when believed is the sole reason for salvation.

yes like you’ve shown so clearly let’s show an example
“Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: for there is no respect of persons with God.”
Romans 2:4-11 KJV
Which part of that is “ secondary “ and not “ essential “ doctrine ?
let’s try a different version and see if it makes sense to you
“Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that
God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? But
because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when
his righteous judgment will be revealed.
God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
( that’s not secondary knowledge ita about eternal life )
But
for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but
glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For
God does not show favoritism.”
Romans 2:4-11 NIV
airs. Ot my fault that some of you reject what’s already written in Paul’s epistles and there’s way way way more than this verse
“For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”
1 Corinthians 2:2
As is sinply sgoen like Roman’s 2 Paul’s teaching about eternal judgement or Roman’s 6 Paul’s teaching about baptism for remission of sins in Jesus name , or communion with the body and blood of Jesus also something your trying to make irrelevant but read what he says
“For
I have received of the Lord that
which also I delivered unto you, ( same way he began the other place ) That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
( they just have made it secondary too look what Paul tells them )
For
as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-30 KJV
it’s pretty crazy how people can read that , ignore it , then find a place where he’s talking about a different subject and all the sudden all that I just shared becomes “ secondary when what he’s written , anyone can understand it’s not secondary doctrine by reading it and allowing it the be true rather than rejecting it as some guy not understanding it lol it’s what Paul wrote all I’m doing is sharing it with you …. I can understand what Paul wrote there can you ?
I dress for comfort and could care less for fashion or anything trendy for that matter. No matter where I’m going I will be wearing the same clothes. If there is a dress code, well then I probably don’t belong there.
