I and others have thoroughly answered each and every bad interpretation you presented with scriptures and superior exegesis of those scriptures and you simply act like a Jehovah Witness that won't concede and continue using the same bad hermeneutic. You have been "refuted" to the moon and back. Read this link if you need more refuting.

I must have missed your scriptural evidence by your disparaging comments ?

I won't insult your intelligence but there's numerous examples of tragedies, slaughters , rapes, murders, mutilation, baby sacrificing ect . Clearly none of that is the Gospel. ( good news ) ?
That's what the Jews thought too. But they didn't realize things like David was a picture of Christ, Bathsheeba was a picture of the church. and Uriah is a picture of our flesh. Jesus killed our old husband so that we could be married to us.

The gospel is found from Genesis to Revelation.

Isn't it great to look back with the luxury of a complete bible ? Your begging the question that the ' Gospel ' is as you say . It means good news / good tidings .

The gospel is specifically how Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day. That's the gospel unto salvation. One must believe that message.
John the same gospel that's preached today is the same gospel that was preached Abraham.

Gal_3:8 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.

What good news ? And why didn't the Disciples understand the gospel 1 cor 15 1-4 in luke 18 ?

I just said I'm not a hyper dispensationlist . I do not consider myself any ist or ism . Unless your building an Ark , still sacrificing animals ect you see some differences?
Ok, but that is where the discussion of your kinds of interpretation can be found and much has been written to refute them.
Whether you like it or not, when a certain controversial set of interpretations begins to trouble the church they get labeled for ease of reference and your ideas have been categorized in the church at large under this label.

This is where you will find the interpretations you haver presented about two gospels and those that have written at length to refute them.

So those that teach this two gospel theory, one before Paul and one after Paul also teach baptism in water is not to be preached today.
This also is your view isn't it?

The gospel is preached until the gospel happens.

That all you have to do is believe God and it will be counted to you as righteousness.
Believe what? What Noah was told to believe? Can someone be saved today by not Believing the death , burial and resurrection ?

What if Noah didn't believe the specific part about " Go build an Ark " would he have been saved? Could he have just winged it by believing Gods attributes and nature ect ?

Christians don’t do that. We’re like children, we believe everything our father says is true.

The gospel is the word of God it’s not an event that happens.
So the death , burial and resurrection . Jesus dying for our sins according to the Scriptures this is not events that happened? This is not Good news for sinners to believe? This is not the Gospel Paul preached ?
1¶Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

Thats the means of salvation, that’s why we can believe God and will be counted to us as righteousness because Christ did those things.
