now that’s just plain funny!!!!

[Cronos]

Oh, that is hilarious -- Paul wrote before the Didache. DOn't you know that? Say, weren't you the guy who asked if the Pope had ever washed any man's feet and refused to believe it even when told it happens each Maundy Thursday?

Also, you do know that the bible was not written in KJV english, right?

[Ann Archy]

DO NOT post to me anymore...I have had it with all of you anti-Catholics!

lol

[Cronos]

LAstchance - Dr. E belongs to the OPC, the OPC is a non-Christian cult. THey will keep attacking and repeating their cult-leaders pronouncements (which are lies). The OPC cultists are completely brainwashed and are to be pitied.

If the pope washes anybody’s feet it’s because he’s checking to see if their shoes are better than his red pradas

Do you love me?

Thanks for the opportunity to post the Scripturally-solid website of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church...

Wrong on all counts. Stop buy and get your prize on the way out.

[Cronos]

Nice. Don’t you think that the OPC cult’s lame attempts to prove itself Christian are hilarious?

[Cronos]

Don’t you mean www.lds.org? It’s the same type of lying non-Christian cult as the OPC. The OPC with it’s fake website is hilarious1

[Dr. Eckleburg]

What was the good news Jesus preached? He was not reading from the "books we call the gospels" when He preached HIS gospel.

I think it is interesting that Catholics can never tell me what the Good news is...maybe because they do not have any???

Wmfights started asking this question a few years ago and the silence from dozens of Roman Catholics has been thunderous.

They weakly fall back on the first four books of the Bible which are basically the biography of Christ. The teaching of Christ is taught by Paul, Peter, Luke and John, and it's painfully obvious most RCs on this forum have never read what these men taught about Christ.

And yet, strangely, when asked why did Christ speak in parables in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, they are likewise silent. Apparently they haven't a clue.

I think the lame attempts here to prove that you are any kind of Christian is anything but hilarious.

Cronos: Jesus Christ preached the Gospe -- His good news. Some of it is encapsulated, as Ann said, in Matthew Mark Luke and John. The rest as is referred in scripture -- John 21: 25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.",
RnMomof7: What was the good news Jesus preached ? He was not reading from the "books we call the gospels" when He preached HIS gospel.

Whatever Cronos' and Ann's version of the Gospel might be, we now hear that it is far, far larger than all of the four Gospels in the New Testament combined. That might explain why we never hear it.

I don't think that's the reason, however. I think the reason is shame. To paraphrase some earlier posts:

"What is it with Catholics that they cannot answer that question?? Really....have you EVER known a Protestant that couldn’t answer what the Gospel is?? Catholics must be ashamed of the Gospel!"

[metmom]

You SAID I wouldn’t name where I went to church because YOU wouldn’t because of confidentiality....

Show me this alleged post.....

Provide a link, if you can, where I SAID that you wouldn't do it.

[presently no screen name]

Oh, wow — Uri, now you want to take on the RM too?

And WHO is it you want to take on with liberal Alinsky tactics?

And who are you taking on when God has said NOT to judge what man eats? When you willfully go against His Word - you are taking Him on and not HIS OWN children.

Satan tried it for It Is Written.

Thank you. Was your typo a Freudian slip since Rome teaches salvation can literally be bought via indulgences, etc?

OTOH, I, like Paul, "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:14) gratefully "knowing my election of God" (1 Thess. 1:4.)

lol. How can anyone look at the false bishop of Rome and deduce this is a humble servant of God???

[lastchance]

You presume much and are in great error when you say Catholics are ashamed of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The Gospels in the Written NT Scripture are the 4 books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Your claims of that not being so are not going to change historical accepted fact. Now as to what Good News the authors of the Epistles refered to it would be what Jesus taught them and how and why He came for our salvation. These things are contained in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus Himself not only came to give the Good News. He is the Good News. He is the embodiment of the Gospels. The Living Word, The Logos. Apart from Him, there is no Good News.

As I answered before:
Gospel means good news. Epistle means a letter. The gospels are narratives of the life and words of Jesus. Matthew, Mark and Luke are the synoptic gospels. The Gospel of John is a non synoptic gospel.

As for specifics of the good news, Luke 4:18-21 is probably as good a summary as any.

18”(A)THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED
19(T)TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”

20And He (U)closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and (V)sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
