Because they preached the Gospel of Kingdom. They did not have the fullness of the Gospel of Grace.
A question:
How can the Gospel of Grace be announced in its (eventual) fullness, apart from first announcing God the Son has come in flesh and has declared the kingdom has come, and is at hand?
What would be the significance of the later death and resurrection of Jesus, except to confirm these first announcements of the kingdom come?
The O.T. promises of the kingdom come and the provision of a Savior, was verified by the witness of Jesus, and ratified by His blood spilt on the cross. It was proven to be a spiritual, heavenly, and everlasting kingdom, by the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
How can, or why would, MAD people separate and make two gospels out of this full evangelistic (gospel) and saving message?
Why would they even want to?
