In NT Greek “Gospel” literally translates to “Good News.”
Nothing there about a bible, or even a book. If you want to hold to erroneous thoughts about Ekklesia than you need to be consistent at least with “Gospel”.

Why? When you are your own Pope, you can make up whatever you want!

Like the odd views of a poster who claims that Catholics are idolaters, that those who celebrate Easter and Christmas are pagans and that claims that the idea of church on Sunday is a man made tradition and apparently not either Christian or Biblical.

In fact this poster claims ALL organized religions are wrong and that even venerating a simple Cross is pagan. Given that this is the point of view from which he views the world, why should anyone pay attention to his odd, often incomplete and often misread cut-n-pastes?

Some quotes and links as CB now tries to say he didn't say what he said:

Let the pagans have it. God doesn’t smile down on people who celebrate Easter.

All of the Lent and Easter abomination is pagan and God clearly condemned it in scripture.

Then please show where that apostles taught the “good news” of Mary’s assumption or any “veneration” of her. If you can't, we are left with their writtings as they are recorded in scripture.

Yes gospel means good news...And Paul says if any are are teach or preach any other news than he taught, they are anathema...

Paul has no teachings outside the books of the bible...Pretty simple, isn't it...
