But you choose the first one, it fits with your program so nicely.
One more thing, the Gospel of Christ IS Paul's MY GOSPEL. It was given by revelation from Jesus Christ. It is not the same as the Gospel of the Kingdom. But don't let that stop you from following the wrong gospel, in the wrong dispensation. :You're doing a fine job of ignoring it so far.

The Gospel of Christ is the Gospel of Christ. It is written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Paul's writings are of a bishop of the Church attempting to persuade the Greeks to believe the Faith.
I'll stick to the red letters of Jesus, who is my Lord and Saviour. If you have other lords and saviours, then please do not claim Christianity.
But don't let that stop you from following the wrong gospel, in the wrong dispensation.
You are a Dispensationalist? Whoa, sister. You folks are as wrong as anything that Marcion ever wrote. I'll follow the Gospel of Christ, as identified in my Bible. Whose gospel did you say you are following? Dispies even dispense with Paul much of the time...
