RNMOMOF7: "Can you tell me what the gospel even is?"

NATURAL LAW: Unlike the Catholic belief that the Gospel is the record of the life and teachings of Jesus...

But that is clearly not the entirety of what is meant by "the Gospel." Christ Himself referenced "the Gospel" while He was still alive. Therefore, "the Gospel" cannot be a "record of the life and teachings of Jesus" since His life and teachings had not yet been completed.

"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

Therefore Rome teaches an incomplete Gospel. No doubt because Rome does not recognize nor understand "the Gospel of the kingdom of God."

Christians really should know "the Gospel" if they presume themselves to be among His family. Read your Bible, Natural Law. God willing, He will show you "what the gospel even is."

Amen

Jesus preached the gospel and sent His men out to preach it..so the gospel existed long before the books we call the gospels were written

Can any Catholic tell us what the Good News that Jesus taught and that was taught by the apostles is?

Of course it isn't, but then again I haven't seen any evidence that you Pauliwogs have any interest in the entirety of the Revealed Word of God.

Christ Himself referenced "the Gospel" while He was still alive. Therefore, "the Gospel" cannot be a "record of the life and teachings of Jesus"...."

I am not surprised that your limited acceptance and bastardized interpretation of Scripture would leave your understanding of the Revealed Word deficient. Jesus didn't make up his life and teachings as he went along like Calvin or the other so-called reformers. He was the Incarnate Word that was present from the beginning of time. Every bit as much as He knew what fate awaited Him in Jerusalem and that He would rise again in three days He knew the entire Gospel from the beginning of time.

Give up the false messages of Calvinism and embrace an omnipotent, omniscient, timeless, infinitely perfect God.

Fantastic post—and how wonderful an example of how Papists argue always from a false premise.

I would echo rnmom’s query: does this poster KNOW what The Gospel is???
