gospel means Good news... is there only two good news in the bible or many

I agree with you on the meaning of gospel. There are many "good news'" in the Bible.

However, there are two primary doctrines in the Bible that are also "good news". they are the doctrines of Law and Grace. Both of these doctrines (good news') are "the gospel of God".

The good news (gospel) of God for today is the good news of Grace that was revealed to the Apostle Paul, which had been kept secret since the world began.

Maybe you should consider a third. The gospel of the kingdom.

The gospel of the kingdom was good news however I do not consider it a doctrine as in Law and Grace.

So a doctrine is good news but good news may not be a doctrine?

Very True. Abraham was promised a son, which was good news, but is not a doctrine.

The Gospel of the Kingdom That Jesus was preaching.
The Gospel of the Grace of God that Jesus revealed to Paul.
Go to the four Gospels and study the Gospel that Jesus was preaching.
Then study the epistles of Paul, and compare the two.
They are as different as red birds and blue birds.

what is the gospel of the kingdom ....state exactly what it is use scripture..tks

The Gospel of the Kingdom is all the things that Jesus was teaching. There is no specific verse that tell us what the Gospel of the Kingdom is.

There are three verses in Mathew where John the Baptist, and Jesus used the phrase; "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." This is the beginning of the Kingdom Message.

There are three verses in Mathew and one in Mark that say that Jesus preached "The Gospel of the Kingdom." Mat.4:23, 9:35, 24:14, and in Mark 1:14-15.

From this I know that there is a gospel of the Kingdom.

I also know that the Apostle Paul was preaching the Gospel of the Grace of God. Throughout his letters he tells us about the Grace of God, and in the Book of Acts 20:24 he tells us that it is "The Gospel of the Grace of God.

Merry Christmas

First of all, there is only ONE GOSPEL (1 Cor 15:1-4), therefore it is frequently called just "The Gospel", and Christ said (Mk 16:15) "...Go ye into all the world and preach THE GOSPEL to every creature"

At the same time, it has various designations: it is the Gospel of God, the Gospel of the Grace of God, the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of Your Salvation, and the Gospel of the Kingdom. Those who claim that there are multiple Gospels are not rightly dividing (interpreting) the Word of Truth.

When Christ came at His first coming, He came as the King-Messiah of Israel according to OT prophecies. That's why before His crucifixion He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and was hailed as the One who "cometh in the name of the Lord". Therefore, while on earth, He preached "the Gospel of the Kingdom". But at the same time He required faith in Himself as the Son of God for people to be saved.

The Gospel is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Cor 15:1-4), therefore "repentance and remission of sins shold be preached in His name among all nations" (Lk 24:47). The Gospel also includes the truth that God has made Him both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).

Your post actually contains the Two Gospels, you're seeing them as one - consider the following:

You are putting two Gospels in a blender, mixing them together and then coming out with one Gospel.

I have to stand on that too right now.....its all about Christ..even if one believes...the kingdom of God and kingdom of heaven is different...its still all about Jesus

Here is my question...why wouldnt the good news for jew...be good new for the gentiles....since we as Gentiles would be blessed through Israel.....Isnt that kind of the interpretation of...why Jesus....helped that woman...the one that said even the dogs get the crums from the table..and because of her faith....she got what she asked of him?

And does the Bible stricyly say the the mystery was only given to Paul....if so where?....if yes...then why did Peter have a dream or vision....when Jesus told him what God set clean was clean....and then...in acts he said who could forbid the gentiles from being baptized who had received the spirit just like they had......where does it say Pail ran and told him the mystery which he himself seem to get by the vision? READ EPHESIANS 3; 5...mystery was not just given to Paul.....so there it is.

This response is so ridiculous, one has to wonder where people are coming up with such quirky notions.

God is One. His Gospel is one. His Christ is one. Therefore we read in Ephesians 4:4-6 and 1 Cor 10:17 that there is:
ONE Bread
ONE Body
ONE Spirit
ONE Hope
ONE Lord
ONE Faith
ONE Baptism
ONE God and Father of all.

Since the Gospel IS Christ -- His Person and His Finished Work of Redemption -- there cannot possibly be two Gospels. That is mere delusion.
