[font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif][size=+1]What's going on?[/size][/font]
​

[font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Above are just four quotes from two different men. One was Peter and the other was Paul. They said different things! When the bible plainly says what you have just read above, and in one case it says one thing, while on the other hand, it says something entirely different....what do we do?[/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]The only answer religion seems to have is COMPROMISE. Religion compromises by spiritualizing, allegorizing, getting a new translation, debating...or starting a new church! There is much confusion in religion and God is NOT the author of confusion![/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the truth of God, TO CONFIRM THE PROMISES MADE UNTO THE FATHERS:" (Romans 15:8)

The majority of the world's religious system, makes the fatal mistake of "anticipating revelation" and tries to put the truths that were only known AFTER they were revealed to the Apostle Paul BACK INTO the four Gospels and they are simply not there! Peter, for instance, preached the Gospel of the Kingdom for three and one half years and did NOT EVEN KNOW THAT CHRIST WAS GOING TO DIE, MUCH LESS DIE FOR ANYONE'S SINS!

"Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee Lord: this shall not be unto thee" (In response to Jesus telling them he was going up to Jerusalem and be killed, and be raised again the third day) This is just after Peter had been given the keys to the kingdom and the power to "bind and loose' Matthew 16:22

"And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them (the saying of Jesus about his death, burial and resurrection) neither knew they the things which were spoken." - Luke 18:34

Following the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the women at the tomb going and telling the Apostles that the Lord’s body is missing and someone has taken it, John writes:
"For as yet they KNEW NOT THE SCRIPTURE, that he must rise again from the dead." (John 20:9)

The situation is this: For three and one-half years Peter, James, John and all had already gone about and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, they healed the sick, raised the dead and cast out demons. But they did not preach the fact that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS. They knew nothing at all about it! Therefore, the doctrine to the church, the body of Christ, is not in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John since the very essence of our faith is in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:1-4) What is the significance of this? That the Gospel preached by the Twelve was pertaining to the restoration of the Kingdom again to Israel, and is not about the gospel of “your” salvation.

The Gospel of YOUR salvation (Ephesians 1:13) is in Paul's epistles, Romans through Philemon. It is only there and there alone that you find the words, or ANY INFORMATION about "The Gospel of Christ" and also about "The Church, the Body of Christ."[/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Peter, in Acts Chapter Two, knows nothing at all about the church, the body of Christ. How can you tell? By the words that he speaks! By reading the words written in the verses and by believing that words mean what they say, as they say it, where they say it….you can see that Peter, in all his sermons in Acts Chapter Two through Acts Chapter Ten….never says “Christ died for our sins.”[/font]
