A new message doesn't mean no one was saved under previous messages, And no one is arguing that it does except you. That is the definition of a "straw man."Paul supposedly revealed a " mystery " about salvation by grace that no one else preached ! To be saved one had to hear that "mystery " and by faith accept it , and yet there were MANY folks before Paul supposedly revealed that " mystery" that no one else knew who were ALREADY saved, which proves that PAUL preached the same message as ALL of the other Apostles.
Now, if you want to get technical it is true that the 12 speak of salvation as something to come and Paul speaks of it in past tense, in the epistles. But the reason for that is not the fact the messages were different.
Paul never said, and neither have any of us, that you can only be saved through the dispensation of the grace of God. You are the only one claiming that MAD teaches that.
You should really stop building on sand.
Because salvation is not exclusive to the dispensation of the grace of God. Never has been, never will be.Paul was late to the Faith as he had been having Christians rounded up and imprisoned or killed as he himself said.
How is it all those other folks were being saved if they had not heard the mystery revealed by Paul,
Prove it. The only perversions of Scripture are coming from you and your ilk when you make false claims about what MAD is.which of course is a perversion of scripture advocated by deceived men without a clue of what scripture actually teaches ?
You can make this claim when you actually tell us what the Gospel is. Until then, stifle it.You might want to remove the rocks from between your own ears and actually believe what scripture teaches instead of trying to defend a lie called MAD.
