Awesome, thank you. So the good news is the forgiveness of sins and the redemption of the world? How does this happen?
Just to clarify my "
The BIG Torah! Hello ..." was reference to the Hebrew Bible as first and foremost the "Gospel of GOD." As a Jewish man pointed out to me ... that the Hebrew Bible (OT) is considerably bigger (more pages) than the NT.
You may agree that some MJs distinquish the "Gospel of GOD" from that of the "Good News." For example i only mentioned two verses from Hebrews 8:1-13 for the following reason. Of all Paul's letters it may be Hebrews 8:13 that is most controversial to some Messianic Jews. I am seeking some clarity so please don't think i'm being evasive. It would be helpful if you tell us if you consider the "Gospel of God" as synonymous with the "Good News." My reply is with respect to the thread title, "What is the gospel of God." If you had asked, "What is the Good News" then that to me is associated more with the New Covenant as expressed in the Brit Chadash.
For me the verses that represent the all inclusiveness of the complete "Gospel of God" (complete Torah of God) are at the beginning of John's Gospel.
John 1:1-14 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
From a "Messianic" perspective the Book of Hebrews is perfection. It reminds me of a literal dissertation that Paul and/or Apollo would have written for the eyes and ears of the most educated Pharisees. It is beautiful work of heroic prose.
The Psalms of David are as much a tribute to the "Gospel of God" as found in the TaNaKh ... my opinion.
