You recall incorrectly. I have made a repeated point of saying that both of them were addressed to the crowds and have shown several times in both Luke and Matthew that the sermons were delivered to all the crowds.

Nope. For weeks you posted that the Sermon on the Mount was addressed only to Christ's disciples and NOT to the crowds. You made a real point of it. You said that was the reason Christ walked away from the crowds and up the hill.

I'd delighted to see you've come around to the correct understanding that Christ was indeed addressing the crowds on the Sermon on the Mount.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John constitute the Gospels.

We all know what books make up the Gospel, Mark. But what is Christ referring to here? The words of the four Gospel books were written after Christ died. Here is Christ making reference to "the Gospel" so it can't be the four books that haven't been written yet.

"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel." -- Mark 1:14-15

Believe what, Mark?

I haven't followed the ongoing discussion, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the RCC does not teach RC's The Gospel. If it did they wouldn't think it's some kind of trick question.

ICor. 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness

To try and obfuscate the most basic tenant of Christianity only shows how they are lost and on the wrong side of the Cross.

Prove it. Post a single post of mine that says this. It is the opposite of all I have posted on the subject. Prove it, Dr. E.

Now, the expert of gibberish posts gibberish. The Gospel of Christ was captured by the four Gospel writers. Why cannot Christ make reference to the Gospel if He knows that it will be written?

You've been the one arguing against this all along. Prove that I've said anything other than Christ addressed the crowds in the Sermons. Go ahead. FR does not allow alteration of posts. Prove it. Put up or shut up.
