The gospel that Jesus commissioned His disciples to preach
Donna Kupp
" ... Jesus came into Galilee, preaching
the gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
REPENT YE, and believe the gospel."
Mark 1:14-15 (KJV)
Please notice the very first recorded word of Jesus'
preaching was: "Repent". which speaks of bringing forth
the fruits answerable to amendment of life. (marginal reading
of Matt 3:8 KJV)
Now, I will speak of the gospel that Jesus commissioned
his disciples to preach ...
JESUS COMMISSIONED HIS DISCIPLES TO BAPTIZE
AND TEACH GENTILES
TO OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS --NOT JUST THE JEWS!
Jesus Christ:
"Go ye therefore, and teach ALL NATIONS*,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS
whatsoever I have COMMANDED YOU:
and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Matt 28:19-20 (KJV)
Jesus gave The Great Commission to his disciples
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION; and, they were to make disciples,
or, Christians of ALL NATIONS. (See marginal reading of KJV)
Please notice the chain of command through Jesus to The Father.
Here, Jesus said that he did not change The Father's words.
"For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say,
and what I should speak.
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
John 12:49-50 (KJV)
Yes Indeed, Jesus, The Father and the apostles speak
these words to ALL NATIONS:
"...If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matt 19:17
The scriptures and reputable reference works agree that the
eleven disciples were told to teach the Commandments of God
to "ALL NATIONS."

* Nations = Gentiles
(1) "Nations (ethnos) Like the Hebrew 'goyim,' ethne: has
the basic meaning of 'nations', but also, by extension,
'foreign countries.' And since Israel is a religious state,
the word is further extended to mean 'pagan lands.'
Similarly, 'ethnikoi', which means the 'nationals'
of a certain country, is extended to mean 'foreigners'
and 'pagans.' An example of the original meaning is
'Go out and teach all nations' (Matthew 28:19)"
(2) Strong's Greek/Hebrew Dictionary #1484; NATIONS:
1484 ethnos (eth'-nos); probably from 1486; a race (as of
the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish)
one (usually by implication, pagan): KJV-- Gentile, heathen,
nation, people.
(3) Thayer's Definition #1484; NATIONS: 1484 ethnos-
1) a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living
together; a company, a troop, a swarm
2) a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus,
THE HUMAN RACE
3) a race, a nation, a people, a group
4) in the Old Testament, foreign nations not worshiping the true God,
pagans, Gentiles
5) Paul uses the term for Gentile (non-Jewish) Christians.
(4) Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words: GENTILES
A. Nouns.
1. ethnos ^1484^, whence Eng., "heathen," denotes, firstly, "a
multitude or company"; then, "a multitude of people of the
same nature or genus, a nation, people"; it is used in the
singular, of the Jews, e. g., ;
IN THE PLURAL, OF NATIONS (Heb., goiim) OTHER THAN ISRAEL.

The Seven Deadly Deceptions Of Counterfeit Christianity
http://www.freetruth.info

Salvation has always been by grace, through faith in God's word
(Romans 4). Faith in the death and resurrection of Christ for
our sins, is the means by which God saves the elect (Eph. 2:8-9).
There will be no boasting of personal merits or achievements
before God, about how any man helped save himself. Donna Kupp,
is therefore a blatant heretic, who promotes a false gospel that
will result in eternal damnation (Galatians 1:8-9).
--
Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone,
not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess.
1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone gets the
glory (Eph. 2:8-9).

Donna answers:
We must have faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus
Christ
for the forgiveness of sins --and the apostle Peter teaches us
that we are not forgiven until after we repent. Look!
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins [forgiveness of
sins],
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38
If a person is willfully disobeying The Commandments of God, they have
never repented. Therefore, they remain unconverted, unforgiven
people
who have not received the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Until a person fully repents, they are still a child of the devil -
Listen to the
words of another apostle:
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither
he that loveth not his brother.
Our faith must be tested and approved before we receive the crown of
life.
(See James 1:12)
" Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Revelation 14:12

She's an heretic. Jesus was using the Law for the same reason
the Law was given (Galatians 3), which was to show men they are
sinners who cannot merit God's favor, and therefore need an
atoning sacrifice to pay for their sins. As a result of his
response to the rich young ruler, the man went away grieved,
because he had many possessions. Christ thus used the Law to
expose the man's sin of greed, so he would see his need for
Christ's atonement. The Law is a mirror to show us our sin, so
we stop trying to be righteous on our own, and turn to God's
sacrificial Lamb, who can take away our sin.
Therefore, the Law is, as Galatians 3 says, a "tutor", to lead us
to Christ, so we might be justified by faith, not by works.
Salvation is by grace, through faith, apart from keeping the Law,
just as Abraham was justified 430 years before the Law was given,
by faith in God's word (Romans 4; Galatians 3 - 5).
Donna's gospel is a twisted perversion of James 2:24, which is
talking about people who claim to have faith, but who do not have
the fruit of salvation (good works). That passage simply shows
that men are not justified in the sense of showing themselves to
be already righteous, simply by making empty professions of
faith, but that good works accompany faith which is truly saving.
Good works, are thus the evidence that God has saved you
(Ephesians 2:8-9), and not a condition by which lost men earn
their salvation. In confusing the fruit of salvation with a
condition of salvation, Donna Kupp is as blatant an heretic as
they come. She preaches a false gospel of justification through
works, not by faith in Christ alone.

Correct. The verses I was responding to that you were using: You
said:
: Yes Indeed, Jesus, The Father and the apostles speak
: these words to ALL NATIONS:
:
: "...If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
: Matt 19:17
Which might make it seem to the unlearned that keeping the
commandments is how one gets saved, which of course is not true.
The Law condemns, it doesn't save.
: Look!

: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you

Donna to Gabriel:
A good question. I have answered your question in a new thread
today: Sin and repent; sin and repent; sin and repent
