“Wow...so much error, so little time....”

The errors are all yours.

“Christ’s teachings were to bring Israel back to the fold...but they rejected him.”

Christ’s teachings were about Himself (revealed as the Son of God), God’s plan for all humanity (the redemption), and the gospel of the Kingdom.

“Paul taught Gentiles of Christ, those that may have heard of the Jew’s Messiah and those that had not.”

It is true that Paul became the Apostle to the Gentiles after Peter had first taken up that task. So what?

“So if you think those messages were the same...good for you.”

The message was the same.

Jesus and His disciples preached “the gospel of the Kingdom” (Mt. 4:23; 9:35; Mark 1:14-15) — and so did Paul — see Acts 20:21-27. The great commission has only one Gospel in view — this same “gospel of the Kingdom” (Matt. 24:14; 26:13; 28:18; Mark 13:10; 14:9; 16:15; Luke 7:22; 9:6; 20:1; Acts 8:25, preached to Samaritans; Acts 14:7,21; 15:7; 16:10). It is for Jew and Gentile (Acts 15:7; Romans 1:16; 10:12,16).

Gospel of the Kingdom,
Gospel of the Kingdom,
Gospel of the Kingdom,

Jesus and Paul taught the same gospel - the gospel of the Kingdom.

Gospel of the Kingdom, Gospel of the Kingdom, Gospel of the Kingdom, Jesus and Paul taught the same gospel - the gospel of the Kingdom.

Please cite for me all the times that Paul mentioned the Kingdom of Heaven.

Oh, he didn't? Not once?

The I guess you just don't know what you're talking about.

Perhaps that is because Paul was teaching about the Church of the Body of Christ.

How many times did Jesus mention that?

Oh, not once?
