What Gospel did Paul preach?

[Knowingtruth]

Paul spoke of his gospel! (Romans 2:16, 16:25, and 2 Timothy 2:8)

 

Paul was not a part of Jesus' earthly ministry. He appears to have missed out some important fundemental concepts of Christianity preached by Jesus! As a pharisee, it looks like he brought in some OT concepts that do not conform to the Gospel we all know now.

So the bible is not accurate?

[Sevenseas]

oh cheese whiz.  just my honest reaction....sigh

[Sevenseas]

OK...I've recovered

 

One author states the following:

 

 Note: I have seen many Atheists, Apostates and Muslims attacking the bible by basing themselves on misinterpretation about the Apostle Paul. Paul was never a False Apostle.

 

"Another false idea is that Paul’s Gospel was different from that preached by the other Apostles. This view claims Paul preached a different Gospel because he refers to his message as “my gospel” (see Romans 2:16 and 2 Timothy 2:8) and in Galatians 1:11-12 he stresses he did not receive it from man but by divine revelation.

 

 

Such claims are misleading. Acts 15:1-34, Galatians 2:1-10 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 show Paul and the other Apostles agreed they all preached the same Gospel. 2 Peter 3:15-16 reveals the Apostle Peter totally approved of what Paul preached and wrote in Paul’s Biblical letters. The Apostle Paul also preached repentance as a part of the Gospel of grace in Christ Jesus (see Acts 17:30, 20:21, 26:15-20 and Romans 2:4).

 

 

 

 

 

Such ideas about Paul’s supposed different Gospel are similar to saying that because the Apostle John not once mentioned the word “Gospel” in the Book of John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John, then this means John did not believe in the Gospel taught by the other Apostles and instead had his own form of teaching. John uses other Biblical expressions which mean similar things to the Gospel. For example, John spoke of grace in John 1:14, 16 and 17 and the kingdom of God in John 3:1-8.

 

 

 

 

So I'm going with No.  Paul did not preach his personal gospel or a different gospel.

Well, the premise is exactly the opposite of most people I know of who try to negate what Paul wrote. Most say that Paul was wrong because he ignored the OT or contradicted the OT.

 The Apostle Paul warned in the strongest possible terms about the attitude of God toward those who would pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can understand this, as it cost God his only son, and Jesus a horrible death by crucifixion. He stated:

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.   As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8, 9

Hi Knowingtruth,

      God bless you ,Brother......personally I have always taken what Paul says in the same way as when my Pastor says that he most go and prepare "his" sermon,they both preached the one and only Gospel of Christ Jesus.I believe every Word in the Bible is God inspired,just as the Lord God says it is...

     Paul even asked Peter, who was an eye witness to the life,death and resurrection of Jesus,for his blessing and Peter blessed him(gave his approval)...the 11 accepted Paul as an apostle,I believe they would have known if Paul was preaching anything other than the Good News of Salvation....glory to God!

                                                                                                                          With love,in Christ-Kwik.

And Nehemiah spoke of his God.

 

And He is my God, and it is my Gospel.

2Ti 2:8  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

 

 

"according to my Gospel" - meaning not the Gospel of Luke, in which there is a clear account given of the resurrection of Christ, said to be written by him, at the instigation, and under the direction of the apostle, and published with his approbation, as some think; but the doctrine of the Gospel, and which he calls his, not because he was the author, or the subject of it; for in these respects it is the Gospel of God, and of Christ; but because it was committed to him, and he was intrusted with it, and fully and faithfully preached it; and in distinction from another Gospel, that of the false teachers; and agreeably to this doctrine, which the apostle everywhere taught, Christ was raised from the dead; so the Ethiopic version renders it, "as I have taught".

 

"His" gospel is the gospel of an apostle that did not walk with Christ and see his resurrection. It is the "same" Gospel in that what he told was no different than the others.
