I am positive that Luke is correct. That's why I don't understand your question. He made it very plain that the gospel went to the Gentiles before Paul's conversion. Paul's name was still Saul.What is the gospel of the kingdom?
edit: You seemed so sure in that first post. Luke was clear.
Yes you do. Which is why I pass out harsh rebuke after back and forth with tactics meant to deceive. I asked what is the gospel of the kingdom.That's why I don't understand your question.
Nope. I have no desire to deceive anyone. You can claim I'm liar all you want but it doesn't make it true.Yes you do. Which is why I pass out harsh rebuke after back and forth with tactics meant to deceive. I asked what is the gospel of the kingdom.
What is the gospel of the kingdom? What were the 12 preaching?
Matthew 4 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
Nope. I have no desire to deceive anyone. You can claim I'm liar all you want but it doesn't make it true.
I fully disagree with the dispensationalist claim that the gospel of the kingdom is any different than the gospel of Christ that Phillip and Paul taught. Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you. So how is that different than what Paul taught?
He also said he is a Jew who is one inwardly, not outwardly.
Romans 2: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Colossians 2: 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
I already answered the question. I know you despise my answer but it is my answer.Please answer the question you were asked:

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the ScripturesLie deleted.
No, technically Samaritans are Israelite's.The Pharisees hated the Samaritans even more than the did the average pagan because of what happened during Ezra's and Nehemiah's day. Therefore they saw this as a bigger insult than preaching to the average Gentile.
Luke makes it absolutely clear that the gospel went to Gentiles, as technically that's what the Samaritans were, before Paul's conversion..
Paul had two names. His name was not changed. After he was converted, he typically used his Greek name.Paul's name was still Saul.
I see no difference that dispensationalists claim exists. You will never, can never, convince me such a difference exists.Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

Show me the gospel of the kingdom from the New Testament. I can show you from the Old Testament too. Both.
Blindness of the truth on your part.I see no difference that dispensationalists claim exists.
Stubbornness against the truth on your part.You will never, can never, convince me such a difference exists.
Something God kept secret (this mystery) until He revealed it to Paul.Colossians 2: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
A misunderstood passage for sure. It does NOT cancel the entire rest of the Bible.Jesus announced His kingdom telling the Pharisees that He was not going to have a political, but a spiritual kingdom at His first coming, by saying the kingdom of heaven is within you.
The kingdom that Jesus was talking about is NOT the body of Christ.There is no difference between that and Paul's statement in Colossians 2: 27. The kingdom of God on this earth until the 2nd coming is a spiritual kingdom. Jesus will not reign here until the earth is made new.
Firstly, the "catching away" is quite clearly taught by Paul.I know that's another major source of contention between us, but so be it. I see no scriptural evidence for a rapture of part of the people and then a second chance for millions more.
I' m not here to convince you, but bring a sword. Show from scripture, just a few verses, the gospel of the kingdom.You will never, can never, convince me such a difference exists.
I will only comment on the probationary period.Blindness of the truth on your part.

It's ridiculous that people think that Jesus told these UNBELIEVING Pharisees that the "kingdom of God" was inside of THEM.
Also see this:
Matt 21:43 (AKJV/PCE)(21:43) Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
The kingdom that Jesus was talking about is NOT the body of Christ.
Firstly, the "catching away" is quite clearly taught by Paul.
Secondly, the great tribulation is not a "second chance". It is a return to what God was doing before He "paused" His earthly plans and revealed this dispensation of grace. At that point, His grace freely given will not be available.
That is impossible. Our positions on scripture have such a massive gap between them that you will accept nothing I say. Instead you call me a liar just as you, RD, and JR do with others who don't agree with you. This has been proven many many times on this forum and even in this thread. There is no respectful discussion of positions.I' m not here to convince you, but bring a sword. Show from scripture, just a few verses, the gospel of the kingdom.

GK, you are being quite dishonest.Instead you call me a liar just as you, RD, and JR do with others who don't agree with you.
You cannot think a coherent thought.I will only comment on the probationary period.
Revelation 22: 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Where is there a period between the second coming and everyone receiving their reward for their works. And notice that all cases are determined before the second coming. The only way to dispute this is to refuse to believe it as this is a positive, authoritative statement by Jesus.
So we are judged according to how we live and that is determined by our spiritual condition
Because God has laid it on my heart to tell you the truth. It's not my job to convince you of anything. That's the job of the HS. Only He can change hearts and minds.So why are you even here then?
If it's not possible to convince you, and you don't bother trying to convince anyone else because you think they won't listen, why do you even post here anymore?
