Which was a response to Fervent's comment about the Sabbath not being important today as the Word of God since we have the Gospel (which is also not getting at the issue of Sabbath vs evolution... but it is how this got started).
Then you appear to take it to "gospel is not preached to Abraham" in some way ,, even if scripture says it was.
But since it was preached to Abraham - then the point about no need for it once the gospel is preached - appears to end that objection with the "Gospel was preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8 text.
============== so history looks like this (and we can go back to discussing the relationship between Sabbath and belief in evolution's doctrine on origins)
Sounds like "two gospels".
- Gal 1:6-9 there is only "ONE Gospel"
- Gal 3:8 that ONE Gospel was "preached to Abraham"
- Matt 7 - both Moses and Elijah STAND WITH CHRIST - in glory even before the cross happens
- 1 Peter 1 says "The SPIRIT OF CHRIST in them" was preaching the gospel in the OT
- Gal 3 says there was never a time when the LAW was some "other way" of salvation for mankind
Agreed.
The New Covenant of Jer 31:31-34 is the ONE and only Gospel covenant and that Gospel was "preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8.
Who saw Christ's day in vision - according to Christ in John chapter 8.
The "Old Covenant" made with Israel as a nation-covenant (not a salvation covenant) -- is a "type" of the "OBEY AND LIVE" covenant in Eden in Gen 2.
- Gal 1:6-9 there is only "ONE Gospel"
- Gal 3:8 that ONE Gospel was "preached to Abraham"
As Jesus said "
Abraham SAW My day and was glad" - John 8. FEW people today can say God supernaturally showed them a video of the life of Christ - the actual real day-to-day.
you are free to speculate on that all you wish. I am sticking with the Bible.
And as Jesus said in John 8 - Abraham was show the days of Christ - in vision (As already noted in my post above)
And 1 Peter 1 states that it was the "Spirit of Christ" in the OT writers predicting "
The sufferings of Christ AND THE GLORIES to Follow"
