How many gospels in the Bible ???

[dan p]

Hi to all and there are 4 gospels in the Bible , so lets see where they are , that my bible study has shown .

#1 , and in Gal 2:7 , Paul calls his message , the Gospel of the Uncircumcision , in other words to the Gentiles !

#2 , In Gal 2:7 , Paul calls Peters message the as the Gospel to the Circumcision , or to the Jews !

#3 , Then Gal 3:8 , we have our THIRD Gospel , where God preached the Gospel to Abram in Genesis 12:1-3 .

#4 , is found in Rev 14:6 , where this gospel is called THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL , which is only preached during the last part of the Tribulati0n , which is a gospel of Judgment , verse 7 .

So , what say you ?

I'm glad someone is making this so complicated. Nothing else to do with their time I guess. Maybe they could be out doing some good 'works' instead of another explanation of the Bible and Jesus.

Its really not that complicated, its very simple. Don't be fooled by all the diversions and wanna be 'religious' men

Hi stlekee , so why not comment on the OP , INSTEAD of me , if it is not complicated ?

The Greek word that Paul and John use in those scriptures the OP referenced simply means a "good message," although it can be made a verb "to speak a good message," depending on the rest of the sentence it's used in. The question then becomes, "how many 'good messages' are there in the Bible?"

It could be argued that the whole Bible itself is one "good message," the the answer is one. It could also be argued that each verse, or passage, or chapter, or book, or testament in itself is a "good message" so the answer is much more than one. How important is it really though?

Hi to all , and if there is ONLY one message , then there is only one way to be saved ??

Will you produce a verse please ???

I didn't say that I thought there was only one message, I just said that it could be argued such (there are arguments on both sides.) However, I'd still ask what the importance is of how many "gospels," or "good messages" there are in the Bible?

As for a verse that says there is only one way to be saved; there are several verses that indicate this, but just picking one, Acts 4:10-12 seems to be a fairly conclusive passage.

Wait a minute, dan p - you're derailing your own OP.

What's your topic - the number of Gospels, or how one is saved?

Better question - what's your agenda?

Hi Kathryn , and in the gospels , Mark 1:15 , the Kingdom of God is at hand , you Jews , REPENT and believe the Gospel !

Paul says for today , in Acts 20:24 that God put him into the Ministry to testify or preach , the Gospel of the Grace of God , and both passages preach salvation , even though I was focusing , that there are many Gospels and NOT just one Gospel , sorry IF I BLURRED the line , dan p

You're right, that passage is referring to what Peter said to some fairly prominent Jews (and by extension, Judah). The NT though teaches that in regards to salvation, there is no distinction made between Jews and Gentiles. This means that this passage in Acts can have application for Jews and Gentiles, even today.

Acts 4:12, Acts 16:31, John 14:6 and Romans 10:13 are all written to different audiences and have different contexts, (just like all four "gosepls") are written to different audiences.) They each have a different audience and therefore different emphasis, different ways of explaining things etc, but the general message in each of the passages is the same.

It seems that your point is that there are many "gospels," not just one. Perhaps each of these smaller, more specific "gospels," as referenced in your OP are in fact small parts a bigger, overall "good message."

My question to you, is why is it important how many "gospels," or "good messages" there are in the Bible?

Hi wordmagnifiedab ,

And just one example why it is important , is the Gospel of Kingdom , being preached today . This gospel will be preached during the Great Tribulation , Matt 24:14 and verse 13 says that they will have to ENDURE to be saved . Are we doing this today ? NO !!!

We are saved by grace today and the preaching of the cross , Eph 2:8 and 9 , so is there a difference ? big difference !

Matthew is talking about people who are already saved losing their salvation because they didn't (or won't) endure.

Ephesians is reminding people of why they were saved: to do good works that God ordaines. I think that they are both messages applicable to people today though. They're both different aspects of the same salvation.

What do you mean by "are we doing this today? No!!!"? Do you mean are we preaching this today, or are we living this today, or something else?

Hi to you , and the only ones that are preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom will be those during the Great Tribulation and NOT today .

To day we are saved by Grace , that Paul writes about in Eph 2:8 without works .
