Having minored in Greek in college and spent four years studying at Dallas Theological Seminary, I thought I at least knew all the major theological viewpoints on every significant doctrine of the Christian faith. I was wrong. The difference between the Gospel of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ is so simple, yet I just came to this knowledge in recent years. My journey was not an easy one. Listen as I explain my journey.

"The Gospel of God"
Mark 1:14-15
After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Mark 1:14-15 (CSB)
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Mark 1:1 (CSB)
τοῦ εὐαγγελίου = __________________________.
I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another gospel... Galatians 1:6-7a (CSB)
To Stop: 1. Illegitimate Totality Transfer; 2. Contradiction; 3. False Interpretation
....but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:7b (CSB)
Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand, and by which you are being saved if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: (1) that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (2) that he was buried, (3) that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and (4), that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
