Can anyone out there explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ? The original, not the Pauline substitute.............

Question

I think the Kingdom Gospel Jesus preached is the one and only Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Can anyone explain it to me. Jesus talked about the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God over 30 times, but it seems when I hear others talk about the gospel, they never quote any ot those over 30 referecnes. Can you do it?

There have been real decent attempts at it... like here, http://gospelenigma.com , but I want to hear how you describe that Kingdom Gospel, using those verses that actually have references to the kingdom in them. (for example: "the kingdom is within you.") Now, I know that verse is in the process of being "modified" because of the perceived threat of Yoga and Meditation... but you have many other verses about the Kingdom you can choose from.

So can you explain that original gospel using those real Kingdom Gospel verses?

Answer 1

sure .. the kingdom of heaven is at hand ... repent ..

Answer 2

Lakely the Gospel of Christ, and the Gospel of Paul, are both the same Gospel. Paul said ...

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galations 1:6-9

The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are also the same thing. Dont let anyone tell you that Jesus and Paul taught different Gospels . This is a twisting of the scriptures by those who want to avoid the high standards of the sermon on the mount. They want to say that Jesus' teaching only applies to the Jews and Paul's to the Gentiles. This is hogwash. Both Jesus and Paul preached repentence and obedience to God's laws. Those who think they can continue in sin because they are under grace and not under the law are only fooling themselves. Faith without works(obedience) is dead .

Answer 3

You lack logic in what you say. There is nothing in the Pauline epistles, Acts, 1 or 2 Peter, 1,2 or 3 John, Jude, Hebrews (may have been written by Paul), or Revelation, which in anyway contradict or undermine anything Jesus taught during His time on earth.

Jesus taught about God's Kingdom and brought the Gospel (and IS the Gospel) to the Jews and Gentiles. The job of the apostles and other disciples was to spread the Gospel and train the quite new Church. They took what Jesus taught them and made it happen.

Answer 4

God provided a solution to stop the multiplication of sins that were snowballing us to hell ; He did so by sending Jesus as an Acceptable Sacrifice to pay for our sins but it did not end there ; with the help of the Holy Spirit, we are to bear fruits worthy of that Sacrifice: we are to sanctify humanity and Hallow God's Name by becoming member of what is called the mystical Body of Christ, the Church. Building the Kingdom of God in this way is an important response to God's Grace which would be defeated if after His Resurrection Jesus did everything for us ; God did for us what we no longer could because of fallen nature ; He put an end to the slavery of sin but He expects us to make good on the rest and He has provided what we needed to finish the Job ; yet He is here, with us, every step of the way. Within the Sacred Tradition of the Church which He is keeping alive and faithful by the continuous works of the Holy Spirit that He had promised to send us, He has ensured that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church ; so He did not leave us like orphans dumped in the street, He is here, right beside us and He is watching ; He will see us though. If you are interested I provided a link (below) to messages that might give you a remarkable example of what I mean. The protestants rejected both the Tradition and the Good Works so they are stuck in the first chapter ; the Orthodox rejected the Pope so they are stuck in the second chapter ; the Catholics are alive and well, moving alone with the Holy Spirit, crossing to the other side ; come aboard now, there are only three chapters in this story !

Answer 5

There is no Gospel of Jesus, there are 4 gospels and none called what you state .Now no one can tell you what the kingdom of God or Christ is because no one has been there and back. Jesus said his kingdom is not of this earth so that seals it . So it must be heaven nowhere else. .

Answer 6

Pauline substitute? I didn't know he had a "substitute"?

Isn't the Kingdom of GOD heaven?

Heaven is THE ultimate goal every Christian should strive for. Many that take on the title of "Christian", does NOT resemble in any way TRUE Christianity as it was in the 1st century.

Much more can be said.

GOD bless

1."Love you enemey as you love yourself" fits the equation of natural law, "for ever action there is a reaction" strike someone and you will create an adversary, help someone and you create a friend.
2. "Turn the other cheek" simple means you refuse to use force as a solution for lifes issues, you show you have the resolve of intelligence, patience, enlightenment, to reslove problems in an educated patient, understanding way.
3." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
equates to "Be that person you have always wanted to meet"
What ever you seek in life, you be that first, and you will draw that same energy in another.
I feel no one would argue this world would be a much better place is we listen to eachother, educate ourselves with real truths, knowing we will make life better if we co-operate and follow the words of Jesus, for he was truly an enlightened being.

Answer 9

Jesus said he ONLY came for the JEWS.

Paul made HIS religion the "gentile" version of the message of Jesus while adding some paganism to attract the people.


(Matt 10:5-6)--- Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: "Don't take the road leading to other nations, and don't enter any Samaritan town. Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

(Matthew 15:24) He (Jesus) replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

(Matt 18:11) "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

Answer 10

Paul's teaching and Jesus' teaching are in perfect harmony with each other.

Peter who listened to Jesus preach and teach, called Paul's letters, "Scripture".

So Peter is a witness to the fact that Paul's teaching came from Jesus.

2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (KJV)

16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. (NIV)
