thanks david.

I could get into trouble by saying too much, so I’ll just say that I like 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 too.

good!

peaceout

My apologies Dave – went off the deep end a bit there. I must admit I have a bit of a dislike for gospel presentations that don’t refer to the Gospels, so much so that I didn’t even stop to think that you’d titled your series “Paul’s priorities”.

With all due respect David, wouldn’t it make sense to refer to Jesus’ teachings in our understanding of the gospel. It seems very strange to me that evangelicals are so reluctant to let Jesus himself have a voice in the discussion.

hey david – i totally agree that we ought to refer to Jesus’ teachings in our understanding of the gospel!!!

but – just remember the context of this blog post!!! craig may have given me a link saying that i had a good explanation of the gospel… but the intention of this 4 part series was to talk about following the example of Paul. So the aim of my topic was not to expound what Jesus says about the gospel.

so please don’t jump to conclusions about what ‘evangelicals’ do and don’t believe based on reading my post out of context.

thanks john for the verses. Jesus seemed to have a good grasp of the gospel!! ;)

OK, David, how about this: “The son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many”.

Or: “When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”

Or: “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.”

Gold mate. There is so many things that call for our attention – and most of them good and godly. Reflecting on Paul’s priorities will highlight God’s priorities.

This will impact my church decisions also…

Great second post to. Keen for more
