Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel messages. Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul.
Peter's Apostleship: His Apostleship was commanded by Jesus Christ along with the other eleven disciples before Paul. Peter was primarily the Apostle to...
Romans 9 through 11 is about Israel, not the church, the body of Christ.
Romans 9:24 Not only the Jews believed the gospel of the kingdom, and the preaching of Jesus and the twelve, but also Gentiles (Acts 10:45). This was not our gospel of grace. They only believed on the name of Jesus (John...
It may be desirable for the church, the body, to have the physical blessings given to Israel, but the riches of Christ would be lost.
The church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation has not been given the new covenant, nor in fact, any covenant. If that would be the case, then we need to...
I was wrong in thinking the new testament was only for Israel. Upon further study, I have come to see that the new testament has been applied to the church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation of grace.
The new covenant is not the same as the new testament. The new covenant is future. The...
Genesis 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever...
Only believing Israel is saved by baptism.
Only believing Israel is instructed to be baptized.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 By which also he...
Can it be said that the new testament is just another way to say the new covenant?
Is this not just another error in translation?
In regard to God, a covenant is a stated obligation from God to perform a promise; this can be seen in God's promise not to flood the earth again in Genesis 9:9-11...
Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
12:3 And...
If you believe the gospel you have forgiveness of sin and Christ's righteousness and eternal life. You can not lose salvation because it is Christ that has justified you.
This is the gospel by which we are saved.
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I...
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Peter is an apostle to Israel, commanded by God to preach to the people (Acts 10:42). Peter is preaching the cross; by the cross...
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The kingdom of heaven is not in heaven, it is the thousand year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:4-6).
1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the...
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the...
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Jesus said the time is fulfilled. Jesus did not say the time...
Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
God has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18), we have received the atonement, it is a present possession.
Through faith, God has justified...
The mystery was hid in God before it was revealed to Paul (Ephesians 3:9), and therefore, could not have been made known beforehand. That Jesus was saviour of the world could not have been according to mystery, so therefore, it was prophecy. In prophecy, Isaiah 52:10 declared his salvation unto...
1 Timothy 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
Bishops and deacons must hold the mystery to be qualified in the church of God. They must know, preach, and teach the mystery that was hid in God, and revealed to Paul (Ephesians 3:1-7 Colossians 1:26 Romans 16:25-26).
Ephesians 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
The mystery revealed to Paul is:
The gospel of Christ is that by his death and resurrection, we have forgiveness of sin and eternal life, by believing he died for our sins and rose for our...
King James 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
New King James 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the...
