Central Message of the Gospel

[Bowhunter2394]

What is the Central message of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, God manifest in the flesh? Do you see it PREACHED today outside 'traditional' christianity which holds to its Traditions on a yearly basis? 'easter time' eggs, bunnies, candy etc................ or is the Central Message Preached in day by day Message.... from those clay vessels Called by Him..?????
If you look at His Word.. the Central Message is CHRIST and Him CRUCIFIED... its the Wisdom and Power of God.. You see that Today.. this preaching OUTSIDE OF religious traditions, 'christ crucified', this happening every spring.. OFFENDS SO MANY who claim to 'know' Him and follow Him... You can really see who is following jesus according to their religious traditions and who Truly Knows Him.. thru the Message of Christ and Him Crucified, the Wisdom and Power of God

*For the Jews require a Sign, and the Greeks seek after Wisdom:

*But we Preach Christ Crucified, unto the Jews a Stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks Foolishness;

*But unto Them which are Called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God.

So when somebody teaches or preaches to you about Christ Crucified and His Vicarious Complete work at the Tree... OTHER than spring time which includes bunnies, eggs, candy, fancy clothes , etc., do you get OFFENDED?. examine yourself.. are you offended at Christ Crucified... Outside of men's religious traditions? mmmmmmmmm

Actually I see this preached year round. I see his crucifiction preached all the time i see he is God in the flesh preached all the time I see love and compassion preached all the time I see the entire gospel preached all year round. I dont get offended easily because I simply refuse to allow it, Honestly i see many Christians get offended by petty things like dressing up nice for church or easter or Christmas or whatever, by music that they do not like because it isnt their taste of music, by someone having a different beliefs or view than them by ppl disagreeing with them by the kind of avatar they have the list goes on and on.

I dont focus on things like that I only seek God everyday in any way I can, I seek his love I seek his eyes i seek to be love and to see others as he does and only as he does. I dont have time to be offended or upset by things like that

Do the Ministers, preachers, Teachers , evangelists........you see on TV .. Today.. do they Hold Up Christ Crucified? or is it a mixture of different doctrines along with the 'call for $$' what do you see on TV, hear on Radio, watch on Internet.. ? examine that stuff. Discern it.. very Interesting.. Is Christ Crucified the Center of their MESSAGE.. or are 'THEY ' THE CENTER OF THE Gospel Message... mmmmm

Ya I dont watch evangelists on t.v. I go to church I go to other believers homes I go to places where I see ppl on the streets preaching on this on stuff. Its fascinating really, these ppl dont get payed they get mocked ridiculed cussed at told to go to hell or to go die in a hole and yet they continue everyday to go that same place and the preach on on How jesus was crucified for us how he loves us and the preach the gospel they quote scripture I even see them praying for the ppl who are mean to them.

So perhaps you are looking in the wrong places

The central message of the gospel is the blood of Christ which has the power to remove our sins - power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and by which the enemy is rendered powerless.

Search the scriptures Jesus said...for they testify of me.......AMEN!

 

[JimmieD]

I would say the central message of the gospel is explicitly told to us:

Mark 1:14 Now after John was imprisoned, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God. 1:15 He said, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!”

Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Matt10:7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’

It all rolls back to Calvary. it Truly does.. and Christ Crucified... that is why Paul Preached Christ Crucified... the Gospel he received , not by man, but by Revelation of Christ Himself... so many in Paul's day were 'offended' because of His Central Preaching of Christ crucified... I'm sure they were yelling at 'Him'> He's off the Cross, out of the tomb... 'why does guy still have Jesus on the 'cross'.. lolz.. those thoughts and words are spoken and pondered on today.. by Many.. Pauls' response.. is that he penned these words as he was Led of the Spirit to write------->

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the Enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

For our conversation is in Heaven; from whence also we Look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His Glorious body, according to the Working whereby He is Able even to subdue all things unto Himself. Philippians 3

the Master said.. 'if ye Lift me Up from the Earth , ye shall draw all men unto Me. John 12 -------> that is Christ Crucified .... Paul confirmed that in the writings he was called to write... ''We Preach Christ Crucified''-----> still a rock of offense to so many, a stumbling stone, foolish to many OUTSIDE A MAN MADE TRADITION... IT tRULY iS! BUT THE Power is in the Preaching of Christ crucified... why ? Because it nullifies 'mans work for attaining righteousness'.. therein lies the offense.. God says.. I've done It Provided A Way.. thru My son's Work at Golgotha... carnal man says.. oh we know that. but we'll just add some more to make sure it sticks.. or even take away from some of it.. cause we know your are merciful and loving God and wouldnt judge that'.. you hear the Hiss from the Garden? oh its there.. very evident today.. oh my..

Ok I think I see where you are going here.

Jesus said we believers are to be preaching Him as we go throughout the world. The man you have hired to be at the front of your weekly meeting was not hired for that. He was hired to train you to live together, and to be equipped to go out and teach others.

If you are already a believer who has accepted the gospel (and I assume all of you are), why are you still in need of someone to preach the gospel to you again, and again, and again? YOU are the ones to be preaching the gospel, not your hired teacher (pastor)

 

[crossnote]

Crucified, buried and Risen...

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
1 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,
2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you – unless you believed in vain.
3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures,

Sorry, but kind of offended that you don't know me to find out what I get offended enough about to qualify to tell me what I should or shouldn't be offended by.

Just kind of. I tend to switch off when people give me ultimatums that have nothing to do with me.

(You're so not a preacher, right?)

 

[Blain]

You sound like a Swaggert convert.

Sorry dont have a clue what that is but either way if you dont agree with me fine that happens we cant agree on everything

 

[PeterJens]

The central message of the gospel is the theology around who Jesus is.

To put it in context, if God walked into you house how would you feel?
If God took your deepest needs and met them, how would you feel?

I remember a christian looking at me in disbelief when I said I did not feel alone.
Or one when prayer was answered, "It actually works."

The problem is the issue is not just preaching, it is being, understanding, living and loving.
As can be demonstrated here many "christians" do not agree around the basic fundamentals, so it is not surprising the church is having such a hard time.

even the 'man ' hired should be preaching that.. in his Teaching.. Paul the minister to the Gentiles... he was led to start how many NT Churches.. yet his message was Christ Crucified.. he did not set it aside.. said Im big enough now to forget that......... NO TODAY.. there are MANY who are ENEMIES OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST.. these who mind earthly things.. carnal and sown by the other sower.. those who Know Him, His Elect, Know what Im talking about when the Central Message..... Pauls message as he walked with the master year by year.. and grew older was to 'know Him' more ....----->

And be found in Him, not having mine own Righteousness, which is of the Law, but That which is Through the Faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of God BY Faith: That I may know Him, and the Power of His Resurrection, and the Fellowship of His Sufferings, being MADE Conformable unto His Death; Philippians 3 ----------------------> that doesnt sound like a MAN who has set aside Christ Crucified because he 'had attained' already.. NOOOOOOOOOOO... Paul knew the Mystery and understood the Power behind preaching Christ Crucified... even from the PUlpit on a weekly basis... indeed... He knew that Mystery and so do I. oh yes.. His elect know that too. .indeed..

Whoa, dude! What do you waste your time watching? There is an answer to TV preachers. Don't like 'em, don't watch 'em. Not enough watchers and they're gone.

Why are you so demanding? Are you angry with someone? If so, go to that person. don't take it out on everyone else. Want a Diet Decaf Pepsi? Want a teddy bear? Want some ice cream? (Sorry. I'm lactose intolerant, so if you want ice cream, you'll have to buy it yourself, but I'll send you a teddy bear, if you need one.) You really need to calm down. This much anger isn't doing you any good, and it's not about anyone else either.

An innocent man -- completely, utterly innocent -- a good man, a man (and God) who never sinned his whole life, took on the sins of whosoever will believe onto that cross. He hung there in agonizing pain for hours, knowing, full well, he could walk away at any time. And then, to prove the sacrifice was accepted by God, he rose again three days later. My sins were nailed to that cross on Him. Your sins too. Why in the world are you this angry? God won! And we win through him. What else could any of us possibly need in life? Isn't that good enough?

 

[Bowhunter2394]

Man in his/her religious Pride/carnal systems believe they 'have attained'.. oh yes.. the CROSS and the Man on It.. says.. Just wait a minute.. whooooa Nellie.. NO YOU HAVENT. THUS the Offense of the Cross.. making many enemies of the cross thru their man made attained 'righteousness'.. God knew exactly what He was doing when he sent His Son here to die in Perfection.. so that NO MAN can boast or come close to boasting... I've got enough or done enough... that Mystery.. oh its there.. the Power of God, the Wisdom of God. Christ and Him Crucified....

 

[Willie-T]

If you "joined up" without understanding the gospel message, well I suppose you do need to have it taught to you until you learn it.
