And your comment has no bearing on the reality of the Catholic Church - in the first century or now.

“I don’t know what to tell you...God says Peter’s ministry was to the Jews only...Apparently your church tradition disagrees with that...You’ll have to take that up with God...”

No, you’re simply wrong. You’re even contradicting yourself, but apparently can’t see something that obvious. 1) Jesus’ ministry was to Jews while He walked the Earth, but He dealt with Gentiles and Samaritans as well at times. 2) matthew 10 is BEFORE the Great Commission. 3) The Great Commission was from CHRIST HIMSELF to ALL the Apostles. 4) All the Apostles would therefore have a ministry to all people even if their primary ministry was to Jews or Gentiles. 5) In any case, Peter ministered to Gentiles and taught that it was good to do so.

“But more than one Gospel...Gospel doesn’t mean Lord, Faith or Baptism...”

There was only one Gospel. Others were false gospels - like what Protestants preach.

“Paul’s gosple was the Gospel of Grace...”

Christ’s gospel was the gospel of grace. Paul merely followed Christ.

There are not four forms of the Gospel. That would mean four gospels. There is ONE gospel, only one.

“II. Four forms of the Gospel are to be distinguished:”

Great - you can rip off the Scofield Bible. Why not cite it if you believe it?

As often happened with Schofield, he was wrong. There is ONLY one Gospel. There are many false gospels - like Protestantism - but only one Gospel.

That's not what the scriptures say...Why don't you believe the scriptures???

The first one for example...The Gospel of the Kindgom of Heaven...Jesus never mentioned to these people the death, buriel and Resurrection of Himself...That gospel had nothing to do with the Crucifixion...

And in that gospel Jesus certainly did not teach the gospel of Grace...

Those people were still under the Law...And Paul say whosoever will live by the law, ARE NOT UNDER GRACE, but will ultimately be judged by the Law...And that's where you guys are at...

However, you make the claim of having Grace but Paul says there is no Grace when you live under the Law...

You guys are all waiting for the judgement to see if you were good enough for Heaven...That puts you under the Law...You think YOU can do something to merit Heaven...Like getting baptized...Like eating Jesus' flesh...Like doing the sacraments...That's all under the Law...And if you insist on claiming salvation on any other thing than faith (alone), you will be judged by faith in Jesus (NOT your church) and your good works...

Christians under the Gospel of Grace have already been judged and found to be Righteous...
