Did Jesus and Paul preach different Gospels?
Показать описание
Many believe Jesus taught a "kingdom gospel" (i.e. He preached about setting up His kingdom on the earth before the Jewish people rejected Him) but this is not accurate for several reasons:
1: Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world.
2: When the people tried to make Him King, He hid himself from them.
3: He repeatedly said He came to do the will of His Father, whom sent Him to proclaim His arrival and then be rejected, resulting in becoming the propitiation for our sins.
4: The kingdom of heaven (or of God) is wherever God reigns, be it above, on earth, or within us. Jesus will reign upon earth, but the kingdom He preached at His first appearance was (in the immediate sense) that of the Holy Ghost baptism (i.e. God reigning within His children, see Luke 17:20,21); while simultaneously pointing towards the future Millennial Reign (which was "at hand" then in the same sense that the end of all things was considered close back then).
5: In Matthew 22, Jesus describes the "kingdom of heaven" as a king throwing his son a wedding banquet. Within the parable are the Jews called first, THEN the Gentiles upon the chosen people's rejection. This illustrates how the "kingdom of heaven" encompasses the entire Gospel.
*Also note how there is no rescheduling of the event itself; implying that God's intention was NEVER to set up, or even imply that the Millennial Reign was to occur during Christ's first appearance; such was even in Christ's preaching (as in the parable itself).
6: In Matthew 24, He told His disciples how "this Gospel of the kingdom" would be preached throughout the whole world before His Second Coming, the "kingdom gospel" could thereby NEVER have meant His earthly reign was preached to be set up back then. Christians now teach Christ's gospel (see 2 Cor. 2:12): His death, burial, resurrection, as well as "the kingdom of heaven is at hand", referring to the Millennial Reign.
*NOTE* And for all saying that He is still speaking there of "another gospel" than Paul's, then they make Paul a liar in that a different gospel than his own would also be preached alongside his.
There's only one Gospel, my friends.
