Ok. But that doesn't mean Peter and Paul preached different gospels. After all Paul went through in Acts, here's what he was preaching: Acts 28:31 (KJV) Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

This gospel indeed! And the only gospel mentioned in the passage to which "this" might apply, would be? The death of Christ. And John gives us just a wee bit more info, explaining that the "woman" was Mary, the sister of Lazarus. You remember him--the dead guy who came back to life, who...

Yes, the gospel you said Jesus didn't tell them about. About his death.

I didn't say it was not important--just not "the gospel". Jesus dying for our sins is of no use without the resurrection. Death is not the gospel. Life is the gospel.

More than just the Jews. Matthew 26:12-13 (KJV) 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a...

Sure he did. At Passover, where he treated his death as if it had already occurred. "This is my body". Matthew 26:26 (KJV) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. Mark 14:24 (KJV) And he...

But that wasn't the message to Corinth. That was Paul's attitude while there. Read the verse again. If that doesn't convince you, go read the context. While you're there, check out vs 8, which explains why Jesus didn't have the disciples teaching his death before he died.

The cross wasn't the good news, even from Paul. He never talks of "the gospel of the cross". I don't understand the significance of your last paragraph--I never suggested he was speaking to Gentiles, random or otherwise.

Understanding our sin is always necessary for repentance, Acts 2:38. But his sermon in that chapter was mostly focused on the resurrection and ascension. Acts 3 is similar. The sin is stated clearly, but the "good news" is not the sin, but the remedy for it. Acts 3:15 (KJV) And killed the...

I appreciate that the message the 12 were taking to the people of Israel was different early than what they later found out, but don't you think their message changed?

Can you state both gospels next to each other?

That's not what I imagined when you said "so many things".

Sure they are: attach axle to vehicle, then attach wheels.

If your currently available evidence were strong, then why do you predict such a party when more evidence is found. If you're searching for truth rather than for confirmation of a particular theory (with specific epistemological implications), you should rejoice over any progress--not just for...

Because you have so little evidence currently? That's called "faith", and it should make you question your presuppositions.

Kinda like how a car and a tricycle both have instructions for how to attach an axle?

Otherwise known as "rightly dividing".

Yes, just like Clete's garden! And the elephant rocks you posted! That's wonderful! I'm finally starting to understand. If something looks like something else, then it must have a common ancestor.

You can find several other verses where grace is a gift, but no other where faith is a gift. And the faith in Christ allows access to the grace: Romans 5:1-2 (KJV) 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith...

The prepositional phrase "through faith" might modify the whole prepositional phrase "by grace", because adverbial phrases don't modify nouns, but they can modify other adverbial phrases.
