Matt. 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Except they are so obviously NOT the same.

It can simply mean the power of God is nigh unto you. At hand, like 'nigh unto' can have nothing to do with time and space. Luke 10:8-9 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The...

So, let me get this straight. You don't think Jesus preached how to obtain eternal life in His Kingdom gospel?

This wasn't about the resurrection. Matt. 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to...

In the first place, I think you're making way too much of the handshake. Quite simply, they "perceived the grace" that was given to Paul, and they backed off. That, coupled with the Cornelius event, convinced Peter that Paul was now the "chosen vessel" to preach the gospel of grace....to the...

You make some really good points, but I can't see Paul fitting in with the twelve. Plus he hadn't been witness to Jesus' life or to the resurrection. Our Risen Lord chose Paul for a completely different message than what the twelve were given..

Two nonsensical posts in a row. Do you two sit around and think of problems that would never exist in the real world?

Nonsense. No one ever suggested such a thing, and I'm surprised you suggest it's what anyone is saying. I realize you don't have a clue what it was like back in Paul's day, but I'm seeing a very active imagination....with no kernel of truth to be found anywhere.

So you don't believe Paul meant what he wrote about turning from the Jews? Perhaps he was not willing that any should perish? Romans 9:1-3 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my...

The only ones who would benefit from the Kingdom Gospel are the ones who have been required to repent, be baptized, and keep the commandments. All others benefit from Paul's Gospel. So where's the beef?

Paul did turn from the Jews. Acts 13:46-47 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so hath...

The Lord did good when He chose Paul. In fact, in my recent study of the Greek, I found that this particular "chosen" is not like any of the others. It means "divinely chosen". Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the...

Paul broke no agreement. In fact, after fourteen years he went (by revelation) to the Apostles and "communicated unto them THAT gospel with I preach..." He went privately to those of reputation (Peter, James, and John) in case they opposed Paul's gospel. Their ministry to the Jews was waning...

Exactly, and then something happened to change that. Oh, that's right, the Jews rejected their Messiah. Then they stoned Stephen, and God raised up Paul to fulfill the prophecy concerning the Gentiles. It's interesting that Paul was a Jew, and God used him to be a light to the Gentiles.

Can you not show me where Peter and Paul were preaching the same gospel as you've claimed?

I should have known you'd go backwards. I'm looking forward to this one.

Yeah, very clever once again. No, but we do have the gospel according to Mark and the gospel according to Luke. That means we can have the gospel according to Peter, and the Gospel according to Paul. So how about the gospel of the circumcision and the gospel of the uncircumcision? I...

I'm going to be looking this one up myself. See ya later.

Hmmm.....I think it's because we are created IN Christ Jesus. He is the head of the body...yes, the church. This may be what you're saying, too, but it's late and I'm having a hard time following you on this one.
