Poll: When was the Cross first preached as good news?

[musterion]

When in the Bible was the Cross (the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus) first preached as good news for the whole world, without any national priority or distinctions -- to sinning Jews and sinning Gentiles equally -- for the salvation of all who will simply believe it?

 

[musterion]

Oh now come on. We already know how MADs will vote, but the rest of you who say MADs are wrong on this...well?

 

[Epoisses]

The gospel went to the Jew first and then the Gentile. So many Jews rejected Christ however that Jesus chose Saul as a special emissary to the Gentiles and eventually Peter got on board as well.

 

[God's Truth]

Jesus taught about shedding his blood while he was alive and walked the earth in the flesh.

When did you want him to preach about it?

just believing it will not save anyone.

One must believe IN it.

All of the elect from all ages believed in it because God showed it to them.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Abraham was a gentile.

Peter was indwelt with the Holy Spirit who gave him his words. Why did he say "Not so Lord!" in Acts 10

All the Jews were blood related to Abraham .

You won't vote because you don't want your true beliefs nailed down for examination.

Peter knew the instruction was contrary to scripture.

Wouldn't you have done the same?

I said it was first preached in Genesis. Though I'm sure that's why that choice was there, I will post the scriptures of support :

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Gen 3:15

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Galatians 3:8

Following out from Genesis, through Israel, all the types and shadows declare with more specificity the outworking of the gospel in the cross (e.g. the Passover). But it was taught in Abraham and even foreshadowed to Eve.

I just won't let you put me in your little box.

No, that's not it.

 

[God's Truth]

No, that's not it.

Yes, it is.

 

[musterion]

No.

The truth is, you don't actually know.

It was difficult for the believing Jews to part with Judaism and it was difficult for the believing Gentiles to part with paganism. The 1st century was a transition period away from the law. The 21st century is a transition period back to the law - freedom is going bye, bye.

None of this has any bearing on Peter, indwelt with the Holy Spirit. God, literally, spoke through him. And he said "Not so Lord!". Give your best reason as to why. Parting with Judaism is not the answer. You have already been shown "not one jot or tittle". Read James. Read Hebrews. Read the red letters. Read everything but Paul's letters and Luke's Acts of the Apostles.

So you are admitting MAD is now true? How interesting. Maybe there is hope for you.
