Because context matters:
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.
onoma = a "name" (literally or figuratively) (authority, character)
Jesus didn’t refer to the revelation Peter had received as the rock He just renamed Simon to Petros which literally means rock.
This is sinning and confessing.
This is the person that runs to John 1:9 to try to get saved again.
This is the person that runs to John 1:9 to get there fellowship restored to God.
See that person?
They are laying again the foundation of repenting and confessing their SIN, because their faith is brokent and they are trying to resolve by confessing.... what is already resolved by the Blood Atonement.
Believers are supposed to get past this....as all this is dead works.
I keep telling you that you don't know Kingdom Gospel and you keep proving me right.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and His word is not in us.
(We confess our sins: Matthew 5:23-24, and forgive others: Matthew 18:22)
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
You should steer clear of 1st John... unless you really want people to make this connection.
Salvation is God on the Cross.
If you want it, you go there.
To be sanctified is for Jesus to cause it.
THe only way for this to happen is. : "Faith is counted as Righteousness".
See that..."as Righteousness" ?
Our sanctification is Christ Himself becoming our Justification, Sanctification, etc.
1 Corinthians 1:30
So, you are confusing what we have become, "in Christ" with discipleship.
One Gospel, One Savior, One Cross., one "way" to Heaven.
This is "the preaching of the Cross'....and John 14:6
1, Commandments
2. Keeping the Law
3. Being Good, trying to live Holy
4. Loving everyone
5. Deeds, deeds, and more deeds. (see 1-4) for their Legalism.
The faith that we have when we understand that we are LOST< and Christ is the WAY out...the way back....The "GATE" to God's mercy................becomes smothered by "self righteousness".
Two different gospels.
Matthew 16:24-27 Then said Jesus unto His Disciples, If any [man] will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works. Revelation 3:8-10
This is Jesus, the man, pre-Cross, talking to Jews.
This is Jesus the man, before the crucifixion, talking to the "House of Israel", under the old covenant.
After the Cross, you have a new Covenant, and you find Paul.
He does not teach works, or self effort as how to go to heaven.
Legalists, who reject the Cross, teach that message.
Paul teaches the Grace of God as the "gift of Salvation, and the Gift of Righteousness".
He calls this "my Gospel".... =Singular. = 1.
This is Jesus, the man, pre-Cross, talking to Jews.
This is Jesus the man, before the crucifixion, talking to the "House of Israel", under the old covenant.
After the Cross, you have a new Covenant, and you find Paul.
I can give you reasons why I think this, if you wish... but they're going to harm the wise masterbuilder foundation if you try to make these two the same gospel. My reasons have to do with the rock and the authority of Jesus.

Well according to Sidon the Great Commission failed as soon as the apostles died because after that the very disciples of the apostles and the churches they established apparently all conspired together to preach a false gospel and get this, they even endured persecution, beatings, imprisonment and martyrdom all to spread this “false gospel” that they conjured up on their own. And the best part is that no one objected to this idea, there was no resistance whatsoever throughout the entire church. How unbelievably amazing is that?
Let me help you understand something about the Gospels.
They are the eyewitness history/account of Christ's Ministry.
Also, Jesus is not the one speaking in the verse that says that """God so loved the world.""
And how do you know?
Its because the verse says....."and whosoever believes in Him".
So, Jesus would not refer to Himself as "him".
He would have said...""Me"..
"all scripture is given by inspiration of God".
Also....I never said that the 4 Gospels were only written to the Jews, so, that is lie #..what?
How many lies have you told about me on my Threads?
Its a lot of them now.
More to come, no doubt.
Listen,
All your verses are talking to the house of Israel, before Christ died on the Cross.
The one verse you posted that is related to the "time of the gentiles", is when we are given the great commission.
So, as i told you , you can't apply Jesus's verses that he's speaking to the JEWS, as "the house of Israel",
Before He dies.... as doctrine for the body of Christ, in the time of the Gentiles.
Jesus came not to the gentiles, but to the "house of Israel".
Also, Jesus can't be preaching the Cross to the House of Israel, when He has not died on it yet.
So, the Gospel, is.....Jesus on the Cross.
If He is not there yet, then He can't be talking about it as the "gospel" to the "House of Israel".
Those are all the verses you generally abuse, to try to teach your particular gospel.
I teach Pauline Theology, precisely, and clearly.
yes.
that is the great commission. given to all the Jews that were a part of Jesus's ministry that he was given when He was under the law, and under the old covenant/old testament.
But that was not the end., was it...
IN COMES the NEW COVENANT.
Here come the next REVELATION.
= Paul was chosen.
The "time of the Gentiles' starts, and we see the transition from Acts 2:38, where Peter is all about the water, as that is a Jewish OT situation, ...that is the "John the Baptist" Gospel, that Peter was using along with his preaching of Jesus as Messiah.
Nope they drew lots and God chose
Do I really need to quote each verse where Jesus personally called each apostle to follow Him?
You always do this, you claim that I’m lying like I’m not going to go back and quote what you actually said. So here we go AGAIN.
So now is the faith mentioned in Hebrews 6:1 the same faith that’s mentioned in Colossians 1:23? According to what you said here in the bold print these are two different types of faith. So who’s lying?
I wouldn’t call 2 a lot.
