all i see is confusion in your so called "doctrine"


everything i have read from you just sounds like the ramblings of someone who is very confused but thinks of themself as the wisest man alive...


twisting scriptures to align with your false understanding you are so proud of



you are just a man
who is not rightly dividing the inspired written word of God


i pray God opens your eyes to the simplicity that is in Christ

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom in Ephesians 1
15 Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God’s people everywhere,[e] 16 I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, 17 asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

19 I pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.

hi SEVENSEAS i missed you!! How are you.

Thank you for posting that. Is NIV your go-to version? The version you prefer in your walk with Christ?

I prefer the NIV (but that is only my personal preference) but I like the NLT and ESV.

BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THEY SHALL ME FILLED

Why don't you tell us which Gospel was preached by Paul?

Paul Preached the same good news that Jesus preached. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

Acts 19:8
And he (Paul) went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

Acts 20:25
“And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

Acts 28:23
So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

Acts 28:31
preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

Consequences for not loving/studing the truth(gospel of the kingdom)
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 New Living Translation (NLT)
10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth(gospel of the kingdom).

Take not that God will cause them to be greatly deceived, not Satan.

So how is this different from the following terms in the KJB:

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ" (Mk 1:1)

"The Gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24)

The Gospel of His Son" (Rom 1:8)

"The Gospel of Christ" (Rom 1:16)

"The Gospel of God" (Rom 15:16)

"The Gospel" (Mk 16:15; 1 Cor 15:1)

"Our Gospel" (2 Cor 4:3)

"The glorious Gospel of Christ" (2 Cor 4:4)

"The everlasting Gospel" (Rev 14:6)

There is only one gospel there are not two. All the above are synonyms for the Gospel of the kingdom.

2 Corinthians 11:4
You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

The everlasting Gospel is the Gospel of the kingdom. Dispensationalist claim that it is a complete new gospel, it is a lie.

There are many gospels synonyms for the kingdomi.e. Word, faith, Word of Truth, the Truth, Gospel of peace, Gospel of Grace, Gospel of Righteousness,

When you read the new testament, as you read substitute the above synonyms for the kingdom. You will see the spirit of truth will open up complete new testament for you. You will have ears to hear.

If the light you have is really in fact not light at all but rather darkness, then it is perfectly okay to say that you only think you have light. So I don't see where the translation is dangerous.

Not that I've agreed with the man on anything he has said.

Matthew 7:14
But the gateway to life (kingdom of God) is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

So how is this different from the following terms in the KJB:




"The Gospel of Jesus Christ" (Mk 1:1)= kingdom of god

"The Gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24) = kingdom of god

The Gospel of His Son" (Rom 1:8) = kingdom of god

"The Gospel of Christ" (Rom 1:16)= kingdom of god.

"The Gospel of God" (Rom 15:16)= kingdom of god

"The Gospel" (Mk 16:15; 1 Cor 15:1)=kingdom of god

"Our Gospel" (2 Cor 4:3)= kingdom of god

"The glorious Gospel of Christ" (2 Cor 4:4) = kingdom of god.

Enjoy as you read the new testament I guarantee you will enjoy your bible more a whole new world will be opened to you.

Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
44 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything (YOUR old theology) he owned to get enough money to buy the field (pay the price to follow jesus).

45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. 46 When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!

You will soon discover the hidden treasure/ the pearl what you were looking for,you thought it was Jesus but it was on his shoulders all the time.

Matthew 11:28-30 New Living Translation (NLT)
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. (the kingdom) Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke (the kingdom) is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”


Isaiah 9:6-8 New International Version (NIV)
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders. (kingdom with the keys)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever. (the kingdom is hear now) it arrived 2000 thousands years ago " that is the real good renews)
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.

Matthew 24:14 New International Version (NIV)
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony (test and see if it works) to all nations, and then the end will come.( then i Jesus will come back)

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is extremely Good News for believers and extremely horrible news for unbelievers.

For the believer, it's the news that we freely received eternal life in paradise, for the unbeliever it the news that they will spend eternity tormented in hell fire.

The gospel is very offensive to everyone, until they are saved, we were all enemies of God and dead in our trespasses when He saved us. none of us ever deserved anything other than condemnation, so that makes the Gospel the best possible news ever.

Pauls definition is actually Christs definition because Christ gave it to him by direct revelation. All of Pauls teaching came directly from Christ himself. So if you read and study Pauls epistles you will have your answer.

There is only one gospel in this dispensation and in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul clearly states: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures..

Yet you said, "the gospel is all the letters in red in your bible and obey what the red letters say, then you will be saved."

That is NOT the gospel, but is a "different" gospel. A "works based" false gospel. Jesus said those who BELIEVE will be saved (John 3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26). The gospel is not a set of rituals to perform, a code of laws to be obeyed or a check list of good works to accomplish as a prerequisite for salvation. The gospel sets forth Christ crucified, buried and risen as the Savior of those who BELIEVE trust in His finished work of redemption as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation (Romans 1:16).

You preach a "different" gospel (Galatians 1:6-9) than the one Paul preached (Romans 1:16; Ephesians 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 4:3,4).

The gospel of the kingdom is not salvation by works, as you teach. Dispensationalists that I've had conversations with understand that there is a distinctive element to the content of the gospel which is called "the mystery of the gospel" (see Ephesians 6:19 and compare with Colossians 1:26-27; 4:3).

*This new revelation that Paul received from Christ (Galatians 1:11-12) is that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise and such equality, Jew and Gentile united together in one body was previously unknown (Ephesians 3:6). The distinctive message of the church is that Jew and Gentile alike may believe the gospel and be united together into ONE BODY (Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:13). *Where was this preached by Jesus, John the Baptist and the 12 disciples before the cross?

The gospel involves the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ before and after the cross, yet if the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 4:23; 9:35; Mark 1:14) prior to the cross has the exact same content as the gospel that Paul preached, which came to him through a revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:11-12) and was still a mystery prior to that (Ephesians 3:1-9) then Matthew 10:5-7; 16:21-22; Mark 16:14; Luke 18:31-34; 24:19-24, 44-47, along with Ephesians 3:1-9 is superfluous.

*The distinctive element to the content of the gospel that Paul preached does not change anything about the things concerning the kingdom of God or the Lord Jesus Christ and it also does not mean that distinctive element to the content of the gospel that Paul preached was being preached prior to the cross by the disciples either. Do you understand what a mystery is?

*I asked you to show me anywhere in the 4 gospel accounts where the disciples preached the death, burial and resurrection of Christ BEFORE the cross and that Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel.

*I'm still waiting.

Those who teach salvation by works make it difficult. Only a few will find the narrow way that leads to life because only few believe/trust exclusively in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation (John 6:40; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 4:12; 10:43; 16:31; Romans 1:16 etc..). Many trust in WORKS (Matthew 7:21-23).

1 Corinthians 1:21 - For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
