There are two Gospels. There is the Kingdom Gospel and the Pauline Gospel. The Kingdom Gospel is the good news that the King has arrived. The Pauline Gospel Is about how Jesus has justified the ungodly Romans 4:5 and has reconciled the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.
When the books of the Bible were combined by the Catholics, they didn't care for Paul's Gospel, so they hid it. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not the Gospel. Those books should have been called "The Christ Event" because they are about Jesus and his ministry.
The Pauline Gospel was revealed to the apostles and preached by Peter on the day of Pentecost. It literally turned Jerusalem upside down and gave birth to the New Testament church. 8,000 heard and believed Peters Gospel and were saved, Acts 2:41 and Acts 4:4. Nothing like that had ever happened before. It was of God because it was of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:4.
Later on, Paul was called by Jesus to take the Gospel to the Gentiles and received the same Gospel as Peter, but in much more detail, Galatians 1:11-12. Paul's Gospel concerned the New Covenant and justification by faith apart from the works of the law. The New Covenant came into effect when Jesus died on the cross, Matthew 27:51. When the New Covenant of salvation by grace through faith came into existence, it canceled out the Old Covenant of law, rules and religion, Ephesians 2:15 also Colossians 2:14.
Many of the Jews could not accept the fact that the Mosiac law had been abolished and still cannot accept it today. Not only Jews but many religions still practice the Old Covenant of laws, rules and religion. Paul said, "The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. Living by laws, rules and religion is not living by faith.
Christians are justified by faith, because they have been justified by Christ. No laws, rules or religion was needed. Romans 3:26. Jesus justifies the ungodly by doing for the ungodly that which they cannot do for themselves because they were born after Adam, Romans 5:12 and are sinners. According to Paul, "There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10.
Everyone needs to be born again by the Gospel, 1 Peter 1:23. In the Gospel Jesus fulfills the law for us, Matthew 5:18 and atones for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. The results of this is that we have been made complete in him, Colossians 2:14. God can find no sin in the man that believes in Jesus, Romans 10:9. In the Gospel, we have been justified, sanctified and redeemed, 1 Corinthians 1:30 and stand in God's court as perfect and complete in Christ.
First, your belief that the Catholic Church tried to hide the epistles of Paul is deluded. I have a pretty impressive library of Church History and I can assure you there is no basis for your claim.
Second, you obviously don’t know what a gospel or evangelism is, otherwise you wouldn’t have made such a ridiculous statement. In the ancient world, the people would often receive the good news/Gospel/Evangelium from the king. Jesus is the King of Kings and the NT Gospels give us his good news. In other words, the Gospels could have only come from the messiah/Christ. Paul was a great apostle to the Gentiles, but he certainly was no king, and therefore his news could not be called Gospel.
I don’t want to be mean, but you really need to do a little research before you post such things.
