No can do(you can't compete with a real "duh" English scholar)-I'm in my intertestament period.

Honestly, the Gospel is easy to sum up. It is belief/faith in the Life, Teaching, Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.

Nowhere in the Bible is there a gospel described like that.
You really don't even have to ask the question, if you can take a small step back, and just look at history. The Gospel is that He is risen, and that He is risen indeed. It's the root and trunk of your faith, and if you love the Lord, then it's not tricky to know what the Good News is---He is risen.

That He is risen is certainly good news. But it is not the gospel of the kingdom, or the gospel of the circumcision, or the gospel of the uncircumcision, or the gospel of the grace of God, etc.
There are many "good news's" defined in the Bible and we all need to accept them as written.
No but all those things you mention ought not distract anybody ever from that, He is risen. And I don't think you disagree.

So you agree that simply saying "the gospel" is inadequate to define what one is talking about. :thumb:No but all those things you mention ought not distract anybody ever from that, He is risen. And I don't think you disagree.

I guess, if you have to argue.

In dealing with God's Word we should always be accurate.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 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:

I agree, and I am accurate.

Except that it is inherent in the names of books. "The Gospel according to Matthew," "The Gospel according to Mark," "The Gospel according to Luke," and "The Gospel according to John." So yes, it is in the Bible.

So you don't never simply say "the gospel" since that is ambiguous?I agree, and I am accurate.
The Gospel = He is risen. 2nd Timothy 2:8 (KJV) Ambiguity resolved.
