Some Dispensationalists claim that gentile Christians should ignore what Jesus said in the Gospels because it was for Jews/Israelites & not for gentiles. They say that gentiles should only read & heed what Paul wrote because God spoke to gentiles only through Paul. This lie is disproven by the following:
1 TIM. 6:
³ IF ANY man teach otherwise & CONSENT NOT TO wholesome words, even THE WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, & to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
⁴ HE IS proud, KNOWING NOTHING. But such worry about questions & strifes of words; whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
⁵ & perverse disputings of those with corrupt minds who are destitute of the truth & suppose that religion is a way to gain wealth. From such withdraw thyself.
Consider what Jesus commanded His Apostles & disciples AFTER the Cross:
MAT. 28:
¹⁹ Go therefore & make disciples of ALL NATIONS (that's GENTILES), baptizing them into the name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit;
²⁰ TEACHING THEM (GENTILES) TO vigilantly OBEY ALL THAT I COMMANDED YOU (Christ's Hebrew/Israelite/Jewish Apostles & disciples). And lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world.
So Christ's commands contained in the written Gospels are part of the Gospel & are also for gentiles.
MARK 13:10
And the GOSPEL must first be proclaimed TO ALL THE NATIONS (that's GENTILES).
MAT. 24:14
And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD for a witness UNTO ALL NATIONS (that's GENTILES), & then shall the end come.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Christ is not divided by dispensations. Neither can the Gospel of Christ be divided into dispensational ages because it is the "ETERNAL Gospel"(REVELATION 14:6)
Paul himself wrote:
HEBREWS 12:2
Looking to Jesus the AUTHOR & FINISHER of our faith;...
So Paul had nothing to add to the Gospel which Jesus preached.
GALATIANS 1:
⁶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel,
⁷ which is not another. But there are some that trouble you, & would pervert the Gospel OF CHRIST. (NOT "of Paul")
⁸ But though WE, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you; let him be ACCURSED. (By saying "we", Paul included himself among those who could possibly be accursed, thereby disproving Eternal Security in this lifetime.)
⁹ As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
And what is the Gospel OF CHRIST?
The Gospel that Jesus Christ preached.
LUKE 20:1
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as He (Jesus) was teaching the people in the temple & PREACHING THE GOSPEL; the chief priests & the scribes came to Him...
This is the only Gospel. And it is eternal (REV. 14:6). So it is always applicable to everyone & unchanged by any imaginary dispensations.
If there were any truth to "Mid-Acts/Paul Only Dispensationalism"; Paul's "dispensation/gospel" would have been exclusively to Greco-Roman pagan philosophers & polytheists, because that was his Gentile audience & converts. So it would be Paul's writings that don't apply to modern Christians, because none of them came from the Greco-Roman polytheistic background, since it has been extinct for about 1500 years.
