Opis

When John the Baptist was in prison he sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus whether He was the One coming or should they expect another? The Lord Jesus answer to them was by quoting Isaiah 35:5-6 and adding that He came to preach the gospel to the poor. This incident was reported in Matthew 11:3-5 and Luke 7:20-22. After His water baptism by John the Baptist and the coming of the Holy Spirit to dwell in Him and after He was driven by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness and after He passed all the tests the devil placed upon Him, He went straight into preaching the gospel and calling the people to repent and believe in the gospel(Mark 1:12-15). In anothe incident recorded in Luke 4:18 the Lord went into a synagogue in Nazareth and He read to the congregation Isaiah 61:1-2 in which He revealed that He was the One the God anointed and sent to preach the gospel to the poor. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION PREACHED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE WAS ON THE EARTH? There are hardly any books by "Christian authors" giving the details of the gospel as preached by the Lord. Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 4:18 are very clear scriptures that the God anointed Jesus Christ to preach the gospel to the poor. Yet almost all the writings and sermons by "Christian theologians and preachers" concerning the gospel were/are based mainly on the teachings of Paul. Paul himself revealed in Ephesians 2:20 that believers must be built up on the FOUNDATION of the apostles and prophets, the Lord Jesus being the CORNERSTONE. This means the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ are the CORNERSTONE and the teachings of the apostles and prophets are the FOUNDATION. The FOUNDATION is clearly based upon the CORNERSTONE. This means the teachings of Peter, Paul, John, James, etc must be based upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, the CORNERSTONE. During the time of the apostle Paul the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not available to be used as the BASIS to compare with what Paul, Peter, John, James, etc taught. Called out ones especially the gentiles only have what Paul taught them. Many of Paul's teachings concerning salvation in relation to works, faith, law, etc. appear contradictory or open to different ways of interpretation which had led to the establishment of many different sects of Christianity, hence many organizational churches. The interpretation of the teachings of Pauls and other apostles must be based upon the CORNERSTONE teachings of the Lord Jesus in order to arrive at the true understanding of the gospel as taught by the apostles. This book in particular details the teachings of the Lord Jesus principally and His apostles and prophets secondarily concerning two Greek words "poieo"(meaning to do or to make or to produce") and "ergazomai"(meaning to toil or to labour) in relation to the gospel of salvation. Since "poieo" and "ergazomai" are directly linked to works, it means the gospel of salvation requires doing and labouring works that are acceptable to the Lord Jesus Christ in order for believers to receive everlasting life. All the books written by the author have one theme: All interpretations of all the writings and teachings of the apostles and prophets must be based upon the clear CORNERSTONE teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to arrive at their true meaning and understanding that are essential to the belief and walk of every believer to receive everlasting life. Wrong interpretation of Paul's teachings will lead to false understanding of the gospel of salvation and will lead those who believe to the broad road to damnation and not to everlasting life, because they will lead believers to follow a different Jesus Christ and not the true Jesus Christ, the One who will lead true believers to everlasting life through obedience to the true gospel of salvation.
