there is one and only one good news, His name is Yeshua, translated 'Yah is Salvation' - He is from the beginning, before all things, and does not change. He was, He is, He is yet to come.
you know more about yourself today than you did yesterday. you did not become a different person by diminishing your ignorance.

Alright then, I don’t see how reading the Bible literally diminish God in anyway.
If he told Abraham he is going to have numerous descendants, that is good news to him, that is the gospel. No need to force the scripture to also say that he also knew 1 cor 15:1-4, which is the current good news for all of us gentiles now.
Why did God consider Abraham faith, scripture says in genesis 15:6 that he believed that he will get numerous descendants, and to God, that suffices as faith.

every time you see it in scripture, it is speaking of Christ. that's the primary purpose of it being recorded there
so it doesn't make it 'different gospel' -- all of this, from Woman being renamed Eve to Zechariah's mouth being opened, is testimony of Christ & His work: it is the gospel, over and over and over: the LORD shall redeem His people; the just live by faith.
'multiple gospels/good-newsies' is silly IMO. you wouldn't call an apple tree a different plant when it's not the season for fruit? but the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the earth. an apple seed is an apple tree waiting to be revealed as an apple tree. this is what Abraham's faith was: He believed God who told him He is his Shield & Great Reward. that is the gospel too: Christ our Shield; Christ our Great Reward. Christ is the LORD God Almighty made manifest, the visible presence of the invisible God. this is the promise made to Abraham, and all who are of faith are his children, just as God told him.

To me, different content means different gospels.
Scripture also distinguished different gospels in the kjv version of Galatians 2:9. Gentiles were warned not to go back to the gospel of the circumcision. That gospel may be right of Israel, but it’s not the gospel for them.
This is still being confused now, when many churches long for the signs and wonders of the gospel of the circumcision, which to me is unfortunate and reflect this “there is only one gospel” misunderstanding

scripture does no such thing. Galatians 2 says they were in agreement, and the word 'gospel' is not in v. 9 - they simply agreed that one would preach the gospel to one people, and the other would preach the gospel to another people.
why is so important to this theology you preach that God's word be divided against itself? what makes that such a key issue? what pivots on that?
