of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) to testify to all men, you are not in line with the will of God:



1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.



as God chose the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe



1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.



and God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them (that includes EVERYONE); and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation!



2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Jesus is the Good News that came.

The Good News is forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

This was preached when Jesus walked the earth, and it is THE SAME AND ONLY GOSPEL THAT Paul preached.

The point of the OP is to show that the gospel of Christ should be preached to all men as God's will is that all men be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4-6 KJV; that no one should be excluded from hearing the good news from an ambassador for Christ. It's why we're here.

Jesus is the Good News, and we have access to Jesus by living faith, which is faith with obedience. We must come and repent to the One who can forgive sins and place us in him so that he can place us in God.

The good news is that Jesus brought us the truth. And it is all in the new testament.

Heb 9:16-17
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.
(NKJ)

John 1:16-18
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

Try and believe in Whom we have access. It's by HIS FAITH!

Ephesians 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

We must come and repent to the One who can forgive sins and place us in him so that he can place us in God.
To believe the gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) is to believe that forgiveness of all trespasses already took place as all of our sins were in the future when the Lord was quickened and we with Him (Romans 4:25 KJV, Colossians 2:11-13 KJV)!

Sadly, you demonstrate over and over on TOL, that you don't believe that to be true.

Forgiveness through Jesus! That's not what he said in Mat. 5:23,24.

... neither bad news, you can never be an angel. Whenever some one has good or bad news to be delivered, he or she is an angel.

God's Truth

Forgiveness through Jesus! That's not what he said in Mat. 5:23,24.

We have to go through Jesus to get to the Father.


John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true--in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.



We have to go through Jesus and to do what he says to do to be forgiven.



Matthew 9:6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.”
Matthew 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.


Luke 1:77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

Luke 5:20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven


Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.



We have to have a forgiving heart to have forgiveness.




Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Matthew 7:2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Matthew 18:35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart."

Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.



The Father and Jesus are the same.


John 10:30 I and the Father are one."

what if the news is too good to be true?

It is so good because it is true!

God's word is true even if it seems "too good to be true"

For God's word is not the word of men, but of God.

II Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

II Peter 1:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I Thessalonians 2:13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
