Your divine principle doesn't exist by your own statements!! :doh:

You are a rejecter and not with intelligent objection. It doesn't matter whether I am nice about it or not. It matters if it is true!
Yours cannot be!


The Historical Jesus Christ, be educated instead of 'winging' it.

I spent more time on this than you think. More concern, sincerity, and prayer than you realize. -Lon

Its allegory lon, a outward story that teaches a inward truth about the divne seed in man the kingdom of God that is none observable to the carnal man.

Here is what the Twelve were sent to do by the Lord Jesus:

"And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick" (Lk.9:2).​

Then just a little later we see them preaching a gospel:

"And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where" (Lk.9:6).​

Since at that time the Twelve did not even know that the Lord Jesus was going to die (Lk.18:33-34) then it is certain that they were not preaching the same gospel which Paul preached which declared that Christ died for our sins.

That means that there were two different gospels preached.

There is one gospel. Jesus preached it from the beginning. It was the "good news of the kingdom of God" (Luke 4:43).

The good news was that the awaited kingdom was coming. Jesus didn't preach his coming death - but he did preach repentance. Repentance was necessary to enter the kingdom of God.

Once Jesus died - the message continued to focus on repentance - and the fact that Jesus had taken his place of Kingdom rule at the right hand of the Father.

Both before and after the crucifixion - the gospel message was focused on the Kingdom and how to enter it. Once Jesus died - the gospel message focused on Jesus' death as the way to enter the kingdom.

The focus of the gospel is not primarily forgiveness of sins through the cross. Forgiveness of sins is just the necessary step to enjoy the ultimate prize - the Kingdom!

Why are you trying to change the subject?

Do you think that the gospel preached at Luke 9:6 was the same gospel which Paul spoke of at 1 Corinthians 15:1-2?

The gospel message was always about how we become participators in the Kingdom. The disciples included the cross in the gospel message once that was fulfilled.

The gospel of the kingdom was certainly one gospel.

The gospel of the grace of God is NOT the gospel of the kingdom.

In Acts 2, Peter was preaching the bad news of the cross.

Acts 2:22-24 (AKJV/PCE)​
(2:22) Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (2:23) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (2:24) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. ​

Peter did mention the good new of His resurrection.

So you think Jesus being raised from the dead was NOT KNOWN. Even Jesus' enemies knew Jesus said he was going to raise from the dead that is why his tomb was guarded.

It is obvious that there is more than one gospel message. It is clear that the gospel message preached at Luke 9:6 is not the same gospel message of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

No way, for they repented and were saved.
They weren't even told to go to the temple priest and bring an animal to sacrifice.

Your opinions are scripture-less and false.

Acts 2:46 (AKJV/PCE)​
(2:46) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
​

What, EXACTLY, do you think that they were doing in the TEMPLE daily?

Don't need to, have read many over the years pro and con the historic is a fallacy fed to the indoctrinated in my opinion, the inward testament needs no letters or traditions of this world Philippians 3:8 to experience divine revelations Galatians 1:12 from the one God that is found within Lon, try these links instead Luke 17:20-21, 2Cor 3:6, 1Cor 3:16, Galatians 4:24, yada yada..... Acts 17:24, John 18:36........
