While all that is certainly true how do you reconcile it with the multiple times scripture shows that Christ and the disciples taught that the good news was the coming kingdom of God?
I see Christ's Gospel as telling us that God is LOVE. That God loves us and doesn't want us to be his automatons (like how Alllah treats his worshipppers -- IZlam means "submission" and that's what ALLLah wants his worshippers to do, OUR God doesn't want submission), he gave us free will to choose him or not.
While all that is certainly true how do you reconcile it with the multiple times scripture shows that Christ and the disciples taught that the good news was the coming kingdom of God?
The gospel (i.e. good news) of Jesus Christ to humankind is, ... certainly, of His coming (and existing) kingdom on the earth and in heaven, ...
... and how He has made life within His kingdom available to us, His followers, ...
... through the giving of His life for us ...
... because of His great love for us.
Leave out any of these facets ... and the gospel message is incomplete.
