What is the gospel?

[LeviR]

Yes, but why? What was to be accomplished?

He was their Messiah, the Anointed one, who was to restore the kingdom of God.
The promise of the kingdom of God was to Abraham and all his children, both Jew and Gentile through inheritance by the promised seed of Abraham, Christ.
Abraham is heir of the kingdom along with those of like faith as Abraham.
But Abraham is dead, and so too many others of the inheritance.
Therefore they must be raised from the dead to be rewarded the inheritance of the kingdom.

Again, why?

You act like God screwed up when He created Adam and He has been trying to fix it ever since.

God didn’t screw up, man did.

 

[LeviR]

The RCC prays to ghosts.

 

[LeviR]

The JW’s say Jesus dematerialized on his way to the Father. They pray In the name of a ghost.

What has that go to do with anything in this thread?

I am done with this one. It is getting way out of hand. You enjoy the rest of your day.

Let’s get it back on track. God didn’t screw up when He created man. Man screwed up by putting God’s word aside and chose to satisfy his flesh instead.

Act 23:6 - But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

Act 24:15 - “I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead,[fn] both of the just and the unjust.

Act 26:6 - “And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers.

The hope of the promise of inheritance made to the fathers is the hope of the resurrection of the dead.

1Co 15:12 - Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

1Co 15:13 - But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

1Co 15:14 - And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

1Co 15:15 - Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise.

1Co 15:16 - For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.

1Co 15:17 - And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

1Co 15:18 - Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

1Co 15:19 - If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

Well, there it is. The gospel is the good news of the inheritance of the kingdom of God by the resurrection of the dead.

I don’t know how anyone who does not believe in ghosts, spirit gods

.Christ calls us sons of God as family of gods or ghosts.

First commandment do not put your self (a god) before God not seen .

John 10:34-36King James Version34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

When looking to the temporal things seen he can give us the vision or understanding of the eternal .they must be mixed .called walking by faith .
The rightly dividing, mixing 20/20 prescription or recipe.

2 Corinthian 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The gospel is Christ and him crucified and resurrected. The gospel is "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." The gospel is the one who was promised who would crush the head of the serpent, conquering sin and death, making all things new, has come, and conquered. The gospel is "I have set my King on Zion."

As well as ...

Romans 1:16-17 KJV
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. [17] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

[Ladodgers6]

Faith = Power. .

No Sir, Faith receives and rests upon the power of a Savior. Power lies in the Risen Lord, not in our Faith. Again man trying to find His Glory to boast about before God. Fallen man must only boast in the Cross of Christ, because Faith removes any boasting of man.

Faith (let there be) Christ labor of love is the gospel power unto salvation .Our daily bread.

Yes the Gospel is the power unto Salvation to everyone who believes; or believes in Him who justifies the ungodly through Faith apart from works of the Law.​

Many confuse Christ the infalible teacher with the Son of man, Jesus. As if God was a dying Jewish man as King of kings.

God's Covenantal Eschatological Promise sends a Redeemer to come in the flesh to condemned and kill sin in the flesh so that we might become the righteousness of God. The only one who can save and redeem cursed and condemned sinners is the God-Man. No other name in heaven or under it could save this fallen cursed world. Christ the Son of the living God; the second member of the Trinity comes willingly to do His Father's will and save God's people from their sins. Scripture is clear who Jesus is and what He came to do.

30 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
​

The gospel of Christ our husband's labor of love. It powerfully works in dying mankind to both (the key) give ears to hear his understanding and power to perform it to His good pleasure .

Christ the invisible head compared to the same spiritual not seen .Called faith to faith . No other power is needed .

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousnes of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

He freely gives us little of His faith as power calling us "ye of little faith" . Plenty to please Him

The kind of food the apostles at first knew not of at first. The food again that serves the dual purpose to both will and to perform or finish .

John 4:33-35King James Version33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

The same kind of food of king Josiah. the hidden manna daily bread.

Josiah. called the greatest king moved by the Spirit of Christ to both reveal his will and empower him .

Yoked with Christ it makes interptation burden lighter..

2 Kings 23:24-25King James Version Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah (heard will) put away, that he might perform (do will) the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

Through the Davidic Covenant a Messiah will come to save and redeem God's people from their sins. And the Lord swore, "I will be their God, and they should be my people." And this is His name whereby He shall be called, 'Jehovah Tsidkenu'. (The Lord Our Righteousness).
