Lol - The mystery of the gospel was not hidden in the OT; put your books based reasoning away, bro :chuckle:
Have you ever read Isiah 53 or Psalms 22 ? It is there in the OT you are sadly in denial because of the MAD errors.

Nevermind.
STP, I know what the gospel is and "who" it is about and no it is not about Paul.
Sadly, you still do not get it the Gospel is about Jesus NOT Paul.
Paul taught from the scriptures as did Jesus.
Daniel revealed the mystery of the kingdom that both Jesus and Paul preached.
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. (Daniel 7:18)
Have you ever read Isiah 53 or Psalms 22 ? It is there in the OT you are sadly in denial because of the MAD errors.
Isaiah 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Nice try but Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22 is about Jesus read it again.
Isaiah 53King James Version (KJV)
53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 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.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
One more time-you've been shown this, by myself/others:God's sacred secret, revealed by Jesus and the Holy Spirit to the initiated chosen apostles, so that all who wish to be reconciled back to God can hear the gospel and learn of God's divine plan of salvation (Romans 10:17).
The first to teach the "mystery" were the prophets, and when their prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus The "mystery" was revealed and walked the earth bringing truth,salvation,light, and freedom to those trapped in darkness.
MAD has denied the very foundation of Jesus, His ministry, His Gospel, His teachings, and the revelation of the mystery by Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus and the Holy Spirit revealed the "mystery" or there would have been no revelation of the "mystery".
Eph 3:5
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Claiming Paul was the first to reveal the "mystery" denies the work of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
You are confusing the mystery of Christ with the mystery of the gospel.
Get your facts right before you ridicule....bro
I am not the one removing Jesus and His teachings to follow Paul and ignore Jesus. No ridicule intended. Truth is the goal and sadly those in MAD follow a false gospel.
Have you ever read Isiah 53 or Psalms 22 ? It is there in the OT you are sadly in denial because of the MAD errors.
Correct, I cannot reason with dodge.
He's overly emotional.
Neither of those was hidden in the OT.
And ribbing is not ridicule - get your facts straight on the difference between the two :chuckle:
Does Andy ridicule Barney, or does he rib him?
Consider that you have just proven what you often prove - that you do read into a thing, and then run with it.
Not that I do not, here and there myself.
Get out of your club already, bro - not many high-fives over here, but Christ is more than sufficient
1 Peter 1:9 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.
Hi Dodge... 2P2P is correct. There are two gospel dispensations and it must be divided thus. The DBR and its full impact weren't understood until Paul. We even see this as Paul and Peter are in dispute in the book of Galatians. All scripture is good for doctrine, but if it is incorrectly divided... it yields bad things. If we take writings to the diaspora as personal guidance in literal application to ourselves... we would be led astray.
Note that Peter even affirms that though the prophets spoke of such things... they themselves didn't understand them. The full reveal wasn't until Saul was struck blind and heard the very voice of Jesus Christ as Moses heard that very same voice at Sanai.
There is deep value t dispoensational understanding.
Note that the Holy Spirit sent from heaven in 1st Peter is a dispensational reference to Pentecost, which first impacted the Kingdom of Israel.
Paul is the second portion of this "mystery". There are indeed two dispensations of the gospel that bind to God's promises to "national/biological" Israel.
Besides...he doesn't listen.
I do listen to and trust scripture but that does not mean when folks get of the narrow path and teach contrary to scripture that I will agree with them.
If one accepts the Lord Jesus and accepts His sacrifice as payment for their sin how would any understanding of dispoensational understanding help ?
Hello E.E.
I don't see nor read scripture as a series of fractured events but as a continuous flow all throughout the scripture.
From Genesis 3 where the first mention of Satan having his head crushed and Jesus having His heel bruised. Then the OT prophets prophesied of Jesus.
I see in many of Jesus' teachings the gospel of GRACE being proclaimed. Yes, I understand that God with held the meaning until HE was ready to reveal it through ALL the Apostles after the Jews were set aside.
I don't believe the Apostle Paul was the only Apostle to preach and teach the Gospel of grace as that contradicts scripture which says all the apostles received the message from the Holy Spirit.
Eph 3:5
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Before Paul was ever saved over 8000 folks were saved so how exactly were they saved if, while Paul was killing and having Christians jailed ,the Gospel of GRACE had no been preached ?
Grace in this age of grace is the Prime understanding through Jesus. The dispensation is a secondary understanding that is required to go past John 3:16 and divide the expanse correctly.
