Why was it good news for the people that weren't going to benegotiate from it? I should have known you would need some artificial intelligence help. But you admitted the exclusion was temporary, correct? Neither of those references speaks of endurance under the law. John's baptism in Mark 1:4...

Hi Patrick, if you have a question for a particular person, either use the reply button under his post or use the @ sign followed by his user name. That way we know who your question is for. Assuming this is for me, I see the different gospels as integrated. For instance, the one given to...

AAl Also the gospel of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of peace, the gospel of the grace of God, the gospel of His (God's) Son.

So why was it good news? News is obvious—why good?

Not to mention the gospel the angels brought to the shepherds in Luke 2:10.

Thank you. Maybe we should define what a gospel is suppose to comprise. In other wrods, if a gospel is good news, why is it good news. And if one gospel has to give way to another, does the good news change? So, WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM, AND WHY IS IT GOOD NEWS, especially since you...

I agree, as long as he doesn't take his ball and go home when someone doesn't immediately succumb to his logical prowess.

That was a different post, and I don't think that. He just acts like a child sometimes.

Except they crashed when they first hit the outside of the buildings. So the crashing started before they entered. After that it was all crash and momentum.

Jews are stubborn. And God loved the Jews as His chosen people. Huh??? Why would a single gospel to two separate groups be divisive? But Jesus said not to go to either the Gentiles or the Samaritans in Matt 10:5. Why would they then go to the Samaritans? But not Gentiles later, after Jesus...

You wasted your time. You are a waste of time, but not of mine any longer. I regret having ever engaged this thread at all. It must be awful for you to have say what you actually mean and explain yourself more than once. Please don't ever put yourself out like that again for the likes of me. Not...

Because he wasn't needed where 12 others were already preaching. I don't disagree, but of what significance is that to you? If the gospel was the same, but the audience was different, you still have a difference with Paul, without the division Christ prayed against. Are you saying Jesus taught...

Don't be obtuse, Clete. Just because you wrote a post doesn't mean your point is accurate or valid, if that was your point. I don't think you are getting my meaning. Which is something anyone would say, but we can't all say it truthfully. We are in agreement that the words of a text are to be...
