There is only one Gospel

[TomL]

Using corrupt translations serves to continue to deceive you. Israel is God's Bride. Let's ask her what her Bible says. The best English translation is still the Authorized Version. Why don't you quote from that? Why do you want to confuse the issue by bringing corrupt translations into the conversation? Let's use the Masoretic texts. They are as close to the originals you can get.

You have no idea what a corrupt transmission is and you ignored the multiple translations which teach the same thing using the phrases all flesh and all people

Joel 2:28 (NASB95) — 28 “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.

Joel 2:28 (LEB) — 28 And it will happen afterward thus: I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your elders will dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.

Joel 2:28 (KJV 1900) — 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, That I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions:

Joel 2:28 (UASV) — 28 “And it will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.

Joel 2:28 (NIV) — 28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

all people, all flesh mankind

That is not Hebrews only

See further below for a discussion on your faulty use of the negative inference fallacy


The Spirit is to be poured out on all

And all nations are to see salvation

Isa 49:6He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

that is a promise of salvation to nations unto the end of the earth.

Ps 67:2That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

A PROMISE OF SALVATION TO ALL NATIONS

And all nations are to be blessed

Genesis 18:18 (NASB 95) — 18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?

A promise of blessings for all nations.

Gen 22:18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice

As Abram is the father of all nations

”Gen 17:5“ No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.

You quite commonly employ the negative inference fallacy. You read what is in one verse and assume it limits an action or inclusion when it does not say so, and then you ignore the additional verses that show the extension of the act or inclusion.

For a General Example of the negative inference fallacy

Paul stating Christ died for him

Galatians 2:20 (NASB 95) — 20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Reading the verse, you cannot assume Christ died for Paul alone.

However in your case, you assume a covenant entrance of only Hebrews, ignoring many texts that bring the Gentiles into the covenant.

 

[TomL]

How can anyone read and believe scripture if they deny the obvious

Ephesians 2:11–22 (NASB 95) — 11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

When an interpretation of the New Testament record contradicts the record of the Old Testament, then you can't use that interpretation of the NT. You have to throw it away.

Now, if you can show me through the Old Testament record, specifically in the Pentateuch the high priest sacrificing animals to atone for the sins of Gentiles then you might be right in your interpretation of the NT. But since I KNOW there is no instruction or command of God to slay an animal to atone the sins of Gentiles, then any interpretation concluded in the NT is a lie.

LOL. Animals are not sacrificed in the New Covenant, and you simply ignore what we do see in the New testament

Again this is your negative inference fallacy.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Sorry but all these verses are in the bible

Sorry, but when additional information is added, it is not necessarily a contradiction unless it directly falsifies original information.

That is an erroneous assumption on your part.

Therefore it is you who contradicts multiple verses of scripture in the old and the New testaments

If you read the New Testament you see gentiles included

Gal 3:7–9 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

Gal 3:26–29 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.

Rom 4:16–17For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

Acts 13:47For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you would bring salvation to the end of the earth.’

Acts 28:28Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!”

Rom 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Gal 3:8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: “In you all the nations will be blessed.”

And will note in Gal 3:8 Paul proclaims the justification of the gentiles based upon God's promise to Abraham that "In you all the nations will be blessed.”

And you deny multiple verses in the Old testament as well

Gen 17:5“ No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.

Genesis 18:18 (NASB 95) — 18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?

Gen 22:18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice

You are just cutting verses out of the bible.

I've been here with you before. You do not understand what the New Covenant writings say about Israel's redemption and salvation. You keep trying to add Gentiles into God's covenants when there are no Gentiles anywhere in Scripture in covenant with God.

When we consider Galatians 1:6–10, that there is only one gospel. We can now elaborate and say that the whole New Testament presents this one gospel consistently. It is fashionable in some quarters to talk about the ‘Pauline’ gospel and the ‘Petrine’ gospel and the ‘Johannine’ gospel, as if they were quite different from one another. Some people refer to ‘Paulinism’, as if it were a distinctive brand of Christianity, even a different religion altogether. And sometimes people set Paul and James over against each other as if they contradicted each other.

Since there is only one New Testament gospel, only one Christianity; there are not several different legitimate alternatives.
It is still so today. If there is only one gospel in the New Testament, there is only one gospel for the church.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Romans 1:16

The Gospel shows us what sin is. Sometimes it’s hard to hear, but we need to hear it.

The Gospel invites us to ponder the consequences of sinful behavior. We need this perspective to really understand the lasting cost of sin.

The Gospel points us to a cure. You can’t fix yourself. You need rescue. You need someone unaffected, pure and able to rescue you.

This is the Gospel: God, limitless in authority and power was determined to provide an adequate solution to the disastrous pain of sin. The separation that sin has caused between humanity and God needed resolve. Jesus came to be the perfect and full payment for sin. We can enter back into harmonious relationship with God through faith in Jesus and true repentance.

 

[charismaticlady]

The Gospel shows us what sin is. Sometimes it’s hard to hear, but we need to hear it.

No, that was the Old Covenant, the ministry of death, the Ten Commandments we had to keep with a sin nature that was in opposition to God's laws.

The New Covenant is all about being born again of the SPIRIT that has received a clean new nature that has the laws of God written there to keep them naturally, no longer striving to keep them by the letter of the law. We have the mind of Christ, so we hate what God hates, and love what God loves. This is not just imputed to us when we first know about Jesus and don't want to go to hell. It is a literal experience that completely changes our mind and heart which is our nature, so we may partake of the divine nature of God, having been cleansed of sins unto death. This Jesus does as the Author of our faith in an instant of true repentance. Then comes the process of being conformed to the image of Christ which Jesus also does as the Finisher of our faith as He matures each of the fruit of the Spirit as we abide in Jesus. When finished Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:2-11 we will never stumble again. Something denominations of man haven't a clue about. To them it is foolishness, 1 Corinthians 2:14.

LM, read the next verse, Romans 1:17 which shows Jesus as the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH. He has the POWER. "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from FAITH to FAITH. Be aware of your desires as they change and grow more like Jesus. From GLORY to GLORY, 2 Corinthians 3:6-18. BTW, the process is not called "sanctification." We are already sanctified when we were justified at the beginning 1 Corinthians 6:11. The process is called glorification, denominations only believe is about our body. Romans 8:29-30.

1 John 3:4-9; 21-24

[Lions Mane]

The Gospel teaches us that sin is fundamentally an act of rebellion against God's law, which affects our relationship with Him and others. Jesus emphasized that sin is not just an external action but also involves thoughts and intentions that separate individuals from God. He taught that all people have sinned and fall short of God's glory, highlighting the universal nature of sin and the need for repentance and forgiveness. The Bible illustrates various types of sin, including those against God and others, and emphasizes the consequences of sin, such as spiritual separation and the need for redemption through Christ. Ultimately, the Gospel calls for individuals to recognize their sinfulness and seek a relationship with God, which is central to the message of salvation.

Be aware of your desires as they change and grow more like Jesus. From GLORY to GLORY, 2 Corinthians 3:6-18. BTW, the process is not called "sanctification." We are already sanctified (set apart) when we were justified at the beginning 1 Corinthians 6:11. The process is called glorification, denominations only believe is about our body. Romans 8:29-30.

1 John 3:4-9; 21-24

The Bible teaches that there is only one true Gospel, which is the message of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

This means there is only one glorious Gospel for all people in all times and in all places:

For indeed the Gospel was preached to us who live after the Cross as well as to them Israel before the Cross; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. Hebrews 4:2
