Paul's gospel started late....

[Right Divider]

Every Christian is very familiar with Phil 4:13, but not so familiar with Phil 4:15

Phil 4:15 (AKJV/PCE)​

(4:15) Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.​

The "beginning of the gospel" that Paul preached was NOT during Christ's time on earth or anywhere in Acts 1-8.

Clearly a different gospel.

Starting with 'gospel' meaning 'good news' Jesus was full of good news (pl). It helps if one knows all the good news-es is about Him. This particular good news is good news for the whole world (gentiles).

So... you're saying that there is more than one "good news" in the Bible?

This is really good news, and often over looked, don’t you think?

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.​

Isaiah
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Yes, that is about Christ.

What does Isaiah 53 have to do with what RD said?

 

[Idolater]

Yes, that is about Christ.

What does Isaiah 53 have to do with what RD said?

Sounds like the Good News of the crucifixion. That's Paul's Gospel, no?

No.

Isaiah 53 is not Paul's gospel, no.

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.​

This type of healing ceased shortly thereafter.
The gospel of the kingdom is not the gospel of the grace of God.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Sounds like the Good News of the crucifixion. That's Paul's Gospel, no?

No.



Isaiah 53 is not Paul's gospel, no.

To clarify:

Paul was given his gospel directly from Christ Himself.

His gospel did not come from the scriptures. It was, as Paul said, "kept secret since the world began."

Isaiah 53 is not "kept secret."

It's funny that you think that Paul is wrong (or stupid).

 

[glorydaz]

This type of healing ceased shortly thereafter.
The gospel of the kingdom is not the gospel of the grace of God.

That type of healing may have ceased, but the teaching and the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom didn’t.

 

[glorydaz]

Without the cross there would be no Gospel, so you‘re certainly right there.

Isaiah 53 is not "kept secret."

It is, even today:

Huh?

Last I checked, Isaiah 53 is written in the Bible.

The point I was making was that Paul's gospel was not recorded anywhere in scripture prior to His conversion on the road to Damascus, while Isaiah is part of Scripture, and has everything to do with the New Covenant, where "the death of the Testator" is required in order to bring the covenant into effect.
