There is only One Gospel

Jesus is YHWH said:

Its not in Genesis 15

Genesis 18:18
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

Genesis 22:18
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."

Genesis 26:4
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

I used Genesis 15 because everyone I have discussed all memorized Genesis 15:6, thanks to Galatians 3 But yes, it’s also found in other chapters

Abraham believed that good news and God saw that as faith.

the next gospel Example is exodus 19:3-6. This time God preached a good news to the nation of Israel at mount Sinai.

it should be clear to you what are the contents of that good news found in exodus 19:3-6 correct?

I have met denominational Christians who make you feel that you are not saved for not embracing their church teaching.

I grew up in that....tell me about it. No instrumental music, right name on the building, no kitchens...it was crazy.

People like that are lawyers...pharisees. The rules they place on others will be placed on them and I doubt they can stand up to such harsh scrutiny.

Don't get me started.....calm down....ok I am better..

Jesus is YHWH said:

There is One God
There is One Lord
There is One Faith
There is One Baptism
There is One Jesus
There is only One way to God
There is One Savior

And there is One Gospel

Galatians 1:6
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

So since there is only One God, One Savior, One way to God through Christ, One faith, One baptism and One Gospel- there is only one way to be saved.

How do you know you have the right One ?

hope this helps !!!

The Gospel is sin (Adam didn't believe God), death (God removed the Holy Spirit from Adam), forgiveness (Jesus died for our sins), and the restoration of the Holy Spirit (made possible through the resurrection and believing in Jesus Christ).

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures ... (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)."

"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." Romans 8:16

Gospel (good news) "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures."

So lets look at this thread it started with only looking to and at HIM. Now look where it went. Hes not first man is. What man knows. And DUH each one knows in their world they have the real truth See no man will glory in His sight.

We still have not figure this out. Its not about you or me and what we think we know. Its ALL HIM! He not us draws the people. Its Him that creates in them a new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Been over 2000 years now and His word has went through out the world. Don't like this or that group.. so what? See at least the "gospel" is being preached. See GOD can turn everything to His glory. He is always looking at the best the good. Do we look at that first?

Get over it.. He does not need you or me. HAHA we don't bring anything to the table.. He chose to use us.
We lay our crowns before Him why? Because we KNOW it was never us. Yet look how we talk ..look in all the Christian forums. WHO do we put first.. who do we talk about most? Then thats what its really all about. Paul knew this

Yes, there is only one true Gospel message, however there are thousands of different interpretations of that message since the doctrinal chaos of Protestantism began a few hundred years ago. Jesus provided the means of knowing and understanding the true Gospel message when He founded one Church, said it was to remain one, and promised that one Church "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me".

Romans 2 King James Version (KJV)
2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Parts of 2 Corinthians 11 seemed relevant to this conversation. . .

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.” I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. . .

. . .And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Who wrote most of the New Testament?

And what makes you think Paul never met Jesus?

Everything Paul wrote was from a revelation by Jesus Himself.

When Paul went off by himself for three years after his salvation- when he met Jesus and was blinded by him, I believe that’s when Jesus taught him.

The GOSPEL, According to The Holy Bible...

THE DESPAIR…

• EVERYONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IS A SINNER.

"Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" - Old Testament, Book of Genesis, Chapter 6, verse 5.

"What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none that understands, There is none that seeks after God; They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one: Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood; Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes...for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" - New Testament, Book of Romans, Chapter 3, verses 9-18,23

• THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN EVER DO THAT CAN MAKE US RIGHT WITH GOD.

"For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." - Old Testament, Book of Isaiah, Chapter 64, verse 6.

"Now that no man is justified (that is, made righteous. added to explain the word) by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith" - New Testament, Book of Galatians, Chapter 3, verse 11.

• THERE IS NO WAY TO GET TO HEAVEN, APART FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NO OTHER RELIGION OR FAITH, OR WAY IS OF GOD.

"Jesus said to him, “I am THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE; no one comes to the Father but through Me." - New Testament, Gospel of John, Chapter 14, verse 6

“And there is salvation in no one else (apart from Jesus Christ); for there is no other Name (apart from Jesus Christ) under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” - New Testament, Book of Acts, Chapter 4, verse 12.

• UNLESS WE REPENT, AND ACCEPT JESUS AS OUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR, WE ARE CERTAIN OF ETERNAL PUNISHMENT (HELL)

“I tell you...unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" New Testament, Gospel of Luke, Chapter 13, verses, 3,5

"Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God...Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again” - New Testament, Gospel of John, Chapter 3, verses 3,7

THE HOPE…

• NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ARE THE GREATEST SINNER IN THE WORLD. JESUS LOVES YOU AND DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS, AS HE DID FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" - New Testament, Gospel of John, Chapter 3, verse 16

"And it will be, that everyone, whoever, shall call upon the Name of the Lord (Jesus), shall be saved" - New Testament, Book of Acts, Chapter, 2, verse 21

• BUT, IF YOU TRULY REPENT AND CALL UPON THE LORD, HE HAS PROMISED TO SAVE TO, AND GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE

"if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved. For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation. The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him shall have reason to feel ashamed...for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance....For "every one, without exception, who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."" - New Testament, Book of Romans, Chapter 10, verses, 9-13.

• GOD PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE NOW FOR ALL THOSE WHO REPENT

"I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life." - New Testament, Gospel of John, Chapter 5, verse 24

"As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life" - New Testament, First Letter of John, Chapter 3, verse 14

"Go to my blog and read my short essay "Christ in the light of the Holy Spirit", a comparison between "the Eastern religion" (Buddhism, Hinduism and New age) and Christianity."

Jesus Christ The Holy Bible, and the Christian Faith are UNIQUE! There is NO "comparision" between the One True God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and THE ONLY Infallible, Inerrant, Perfect Word of God, the Holy Bible, to ANY "religion/faith/way" in this world. ALL are from the devil himself!

Jesus is YHWH said:

Yes One body of Christ just as there was One Nation in the OT , Israel by which God chose as His people.

Yet there are different locations of churches hence the Epistles and Revelation chapters 2-3. But they are still the One Body of Christ on earth.

In three pages we have only two replies from declared Eastern Orthodox and Catholic posters. When @Frankl says, "...There is only One Chuch" I think it means Church with a capital C. (the Catholic/Orthodox Church - as opposed to Protestantism) And that they believe that salvation is in "the Church".

Frankl said: ↑
...There is only One Chuch

If one had to get theology correct to be saved than only the reformers and the reformed from the 16th century to now could have been saved. And Christians During the Apostles's time and Augustine's time. But, that's not the case. To be saved you have to believe in the gospel. Theology just adds extra flavor if you will. 1 corinthians 15:1-19 says the gospel, believe that and you are saved. Just don't be surprised when you don't believe it. You don't believe it because you're arrogant, you don't believe it because your mind is being clouded to the scriptures.

@Jesus is YHWH
Here is the other post I referenced.

What you have presented in your OP is the crown jewel of Evangelicalism.
And while it is true that there is only one gospel, there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what that means exactly. And there are other things to consider as well. Like... what is the requirement for salvation in Matthew 25:34-36 ? Nothing to do with the gospel of Evangelicalism. Hmm... maybe there is more than one gospel?

Matthew 25:34-36
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Hello Saint Steven, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church are two different churches. There is no "Catholic/Orthodox" church.

I agree.
I was trying to make reference to non-Protestant churches.
But more specifically to two posters/posts on this thread.

Now that we have cleared that up, what do you make of the rest of my post and the idea that there is not a consensus within Christianity about what the one gospel is?

I don't know that I would blame Protestantism for the chaos as much as I would Satan/worldliness. That sounds like one would be saying Catholicism is the only truth.

Jesus said his apostles would provide us with the Word. The church is the pillar and ground of the truth, but we (the church) don't establish truth...Jesus did that...God did that.

The unifying factor for THE church is the head of the body...the Word. When we submit to the Word (Jesus) we walk in the light as He is in the light and we have fellowship one with another.
