[***You don’t believe in the Gospel.***]

You know more about me than I do, don’t you. I envy you your mind reading abilities. The only Gospel that you have mentioned is a snippet of Mark and a couple verses of John. Hardly complete. We, of course, have the entire Gospel - the pinnacle of Scriptural truth through which we view the rest of the NT and through that, the Old. We consider the Bible so great that we share it with all including the heathen and the ungrateful.

The Gospel is found in 1Cor.15:3-5, which you reject, since one must accept it by faith and not add works to it (Eph.2:8-9, Rom.4:4-5).

Christians do share the Gospel with heathen and the ungrateful, as I have been sharing it with you, but you still reject it!

Try as I might, I cannot find the Gospel according to Paul. I find Gospels according Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but not Paul.

Your first reference is from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, the second from his letter to the Ephesians and the third from his letter to the Romans.

My Bible has a page that begins the New Testament Gospels and another page that separates them from the New Testament letters. Has yours gone astray? How can you share what you don’t have?

At any rate, I prefer the words of Jesus to misinterpretations of Paul.

John 12:
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me,
45
and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.
46
I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.
47
And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.
48
Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day,
49
because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.
50
And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me.”

You reject the words of Jesus, preferring the words of men. So be it. You do have something to Judge you.

***Christians do share the Gospel with heathen and the ungrateful, as I have been sharing it with you, but you still reject it!***

How can you share what you do not have?
