Included in the red letters in the Bible are words of judgment, sorrow, pain, suffering, condemnation, hell etc.. You call that good news/the gospel? :eek: You are confusing what the gospel "is" with everything that is written in red in the 4 gospel accounts - (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Mormons are also confused about what the gospel "is" and they have "added" the book of Mormon to the Bible and call it the "fullness of the gospel" yet they clearly teach a "different" gospel.
As Paul says in his letters to him who is ignorant let them remain ignorant.

i can lead you to the water, but I cannot force you to drink.
In John 4:10, Jesus said, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

In John 4:14, Jesus said, "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

Notice in John 7:38-39, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of LIVING WATER. But this He spoke concerning the SPIRIT..

In 1 Corinthians 12:13, we also read - ..drink into one Spirit.

I have already drink of the living water that Jesus gave me. (y)

I'm not interested in your kool aid. (n)

So it is clear from this forum that nobody knows what the gospel is and if the gospel is hidden from you then you are lost.
That is incorrect. There are many who know exactly what the Gospel is, and they are clearly not lost.

So if you think nobody knows the Gospel here on this forum, go ahead and tell us what the Gospel is.

HERE IS ANOTHER SHOCKER, THE KINGDOM HAS BEEN HERE FOR TWO THOUSANDS YEARS.
You may not be aware of this. ALL CAPITAL LETTERS sentences denotes the writer is screaming.
Truth doesn't have to utter a word to be eternally valid.
Do you have scriptures to support your post there?

That is not fair. You are misrepresenting the first Corinthian church epistle and its chapter 14.
You do not then have an answer to Dan's query?

He meant voila, but that's a whale of an error in both spelling and doctrine.
Aw, thank you. :) Yes, I figured as much. But I did hope KoK would provide an answer none the less. Thank you again for your assistance Nehemiah. :)

WHALA! hahaha! Oh gosh I can't tamp down the silly laughter tonight. Geesh! :LOL:
This reminds me of when I heard a man say: for all intencent purposes.
I asked him what intencent meant.
He had no idea at all! :LOL:

[ The Coming of the Kingdom of God ] Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, the kingdom of god is in you.

Luke 11:20
But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you

I beg to differ. the scriptures clearly states if you don't know what the gospel is you are lost. Paul stated that the gospel that he preached saves you.

This scripture below is to confirm what the scriptures say about believing the correct gospel and obeying it.
Luke 8:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word(message of the kingdom) from their hearts, so that they may not believe (believe in Jesus and his red letters) and be saved.

Preach that in your churches on a sunday and see what they have to say. Most will walk out.

How do I know what I say is correct here are some scriptures to confirm.

1 John 4:3
But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.(in the churches)

The spirit of the antichrist is any body that rejects the message/teaching/doctrine (red letters) of Jesus christ.

Here is another SHOCKER JESUS IS NOT THE TRUTH.

Jesus claimed that his message was the truth (letters in red) John 17:17 Make them holy by your truth, Your Word/Letters in Red is Truth. (Kok Paraphrase)

The famous scripture " I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE" is incorrect, in the original greek it states clearly

" I AM the WAY to the TRUTH which leads to LIFE ( kingdom of God.)

John 18:37 New Living Translation (NLT)
37 Pilate said, “So you are a king?”

Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth.
All who love the truth recognize that what I say (red letters) is true/Truth.”

2 John 1:9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.

John 8:42-45 New International Version (NIV)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!

We can see clearly from the above scripture that if you do not understand the teaching/parables of jesus you belong to your father the devil. I cannot make it more clear that.

1 John 2:18
[ Warnings Against Denying the Son ] Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,
even now many antichrists (rejecting the red letters) have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

TO HIM WHO HAS EARS LET THEM HEAR.

So it is clear from this forum that nobody knows what the gospel is and if the gospel is hidden from you then you are lost.


2 Cor 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Strong words from Paul.

What do you say about that.
Oh boy, You will either soften your heart, Learn some humility, or not be here long, or at the least, hopefully if you keep up this nonsense, people will place you in their prayer bin.

Luke 11:34-35 New Living Translation (NLT)
34 “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness. 35 Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.
