Hey! Thanks for jumping in! I love your response. Remember that I am not declaring anything...just posting something to get people thinking. My question to you would be if you said

The Gospel itself is the fact that Jesus died on the cross for those who would accept him as Savior and Lord.

Then what was Jesus preaching if He said He was preaching the gospel of God....because He didn't say anything yet to anyone about dying for their sins but yet was preaching it from the beginning
