No Other Gospel
The only true an unadulterated
Gospel is that GOSPEL that Paul preaches not any kind of Gospel that has come
out of the Matthew, Mark, Like, or John for if you follow a preacher that uses
them as the Gospel of Christ for you then you will receive the same accurse
that your preacher is under the only true Gospel is that of 1st Corinthians
15:1 through 4 for The Risen Christ Chose Paul to give us that Gospel for He is
the Apostle to the Gentiles and he is our example to follow for even PETER in
the last scripture written in his life recognized Paul was the Gospel for the
NOW TIMES and nothing else was so important, Paul is to the church age as Moses
was to the Jews in Bondage in Egypt. Salvation for the church age is only found
in the Epistles Paul wrote from Romans to Philemon those and those alone are
the Doctrines’ of Salvation. All the rest of the Bible is for us BUT it’s not
about US they are for our learning and our admonition for getting to know just who
we are to The Most high God.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another;
but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached
unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men?
for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Paul Called by God
Inspired by the
HOLY SPIRIT PAUL writes
Paul was called
after Christ finished the work of REDEMPTION for all especially the GENTILES
for the Jew could follow the Gentile an come in as the Gentiles do because the
Jew’s had fallen and were dispersed as lost according to their unbelief and the
rejection of their sent Messiah!
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached
of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For
I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my
conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I
persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Gal 1:14 And profited in the Jews'
religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly
zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb,
and called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that
I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh
and blood:
Gal 1:17 Neither went I up to
Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. [God
gave Paul a whole New Revelation of Salvation directed toward the GENTILES
because of the failure of Israel to fulfill their promise to God concerning the
GENTILES]
Gal 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's
brother.
Gal 1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie
not.
Gal 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Gal 1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were
in Christ:
Gal 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times
past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God in me.

Paul passed the
mantle of His ministries to Timothy
2Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of
Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in
Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure
conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night
and day;
2Ti 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I
may be filled with joy;
2Ti 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee,
which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that in thee also.
2Ti 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and
of love, and of a sound mind.
2Ti 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor
of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus
Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel:
2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles. [Paul’s
life him knowing was coming to an end]
The price of Paul’s ministry, as stated by Christ who called
Him. [ACTS 9:1 Through 25 then Galatians 1:11
through 24]
Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle
2Co 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a
fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a
little.
2Co 11:17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it
were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
2Co 11:18 Seeing that many glory after the
flesh, I will glory also.
2Co 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing
ye yourselves are wise.
2Co 11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you
into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you
on the face.
2Co 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as
though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak
foolishly,) I am bold also.
2Co 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of
Abraham? so am
I.
2Co 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I
speak as a fool) I am
more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more
frequent, in deaths oft.
2Co 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I
forty stripes
save one.
2Co 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once
was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the
deep;
2Co 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false
brethren;
2Co 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in
watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and
nakedness.
2Co 11:28 Beside those things that are without,
that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
2Co 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who
is offended, and I burn not?
2Co 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory
of the things which concern mine infirmities.
2Co 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
2Co 11:32 In Damascus the governor under
Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to
apprehend me:
2Co 11:33 And through a window in a basket was
I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
The Mystery of the Gospel
Revealed
Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you
Gentiles,
Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the
dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he
made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye
may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not
made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of
the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister,
according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual
working of his power.
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that I should preach among the
Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship
of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who
created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ
Jesus our Lord:
Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness
and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Eph 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye
faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
2Ti 1:8 Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou
partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
2Ti 1:9 Who hath
saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began, [Eph 3:11]
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus
Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel:
2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed
a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer
these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I
have committed unto him against that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound
words, The truth of our GOSPEL which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ
Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.
(Tit 1:1 KJV) Paul, a servant of
God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and
the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
(Jamieson-Fausset-Brown) Titus 1:1
Tit_1:1-16. Address: For what end Titus was left in Crete.
Qualifications for elders: Gainsayers in Crete needing reproof.
servant of God — not found elsewhere in
the same connection. In Rom_1:1 it is “servant of Jesus Christ” (Gal_1:10; Php_1:1; compare Act_16:17;
Rev_1:1; Rev_15:3).
In Rom_1:1, there follows, “called to be an apostle,” which corresponds to the general designation of the office first, “servant of God,” here, followed by the special description, “apostle of Jesus Christ.” The full expression of his apostolic office answers, in both
Epistles, to the design, and is a comprehensive index to the contents. The peculiar form here would never
have proceeded from a forger.
according to the faith — rather, “for,” “with a
view to subserve the faith”; this is the object of my apostleship (compare Tit_1:4, Tit_1:9; Rom_1:5).
the elect — for whose sake we ought to endure all
things (2Ti_2:10). This election has its
ground, not in anything belonging to those thus distinguished, but in the
purpose and will of God from everlasting (2Ti_1:9;
Rom_8:30-33; compare Luk_18:7; Eph_1:4;
Col_3:12). Act_13:48 shows that all faith on the part of the elect,
rests on the divine foreordination: they do not become elect by their faith, but receive faith, and so become believers, because they
are elect.
and the acknowledging of the truth — “and (for promoting) the full
knowledge of the truth,” that is, the Christian
truth (Eph_1:13).
after godliness — that is, which belongs
to piety: opposed to the knowledge which has not for its object the truth, but
error, doctrinal and practical (Tit_1:11,
Tit_1:16; 1Ti_6:3);
or even which has for its object mere earthly truth, not growth in the divine
life. “Godliness,” or “piety,” is a term peculiar
to the Pastoral Epistles: a fact explained by the apostle having in them to
combat doctrine tending to “ungodliness” (2Ti_2:16; compare Tit_2:11, Tit_2:12).
(John Gill) Titus 1:1
Paul, a servant of God,.... So James styles himself, Jas_1:1 and others of the apostles, as Peter
and Jude, call themselves the servants of Jesus Christ; and as does the Apostle
Paul also; and both seem to be esteemed by them as high characters and titles
of honour, by which they chose to be described and known. Paul, before his
conversion, was a servant of sin, of divers lusts and pleasures, and which he
owns in this epistle, Tit_3:3 but
being called by grace, he became free from the vassalage of sin, and became a
servant of God, and of righteousness; and henceforward, from a principle of
grace, and being constrained by love, served the Lord, and yielded obedience to
his commands and ordinances, with all readiness and cheerfulness: though this
character belongs to him in a higher sense than it does to believers in common;
and respects his ministerial service, or his serving God in the Gospel of his
Son; in which he, and others, were eminently the servants of the most high God,
whose business greatly lay in showing unto men the way of salvation.
And an apostle of Jesus Christ: constituted, qualified,
and sent by him to preach his Gospel; and who had his mission, commission, and
doctrine from him; and was an ambassador of his, who represented him, and
preached him; and had a power of working miracles to confirm his mission and
ministry; and so had all the signs and proofs of an apostle in him; See Gill on
Rom_1:1.
And according to the faith of God's elect: which may either denote
the agreement there was between the ministry of the apostle, and the faith of
the choice and eminent saints of God, under the former dispensation; he saying
no other things than what Moses, and the prophets did; and laying no other
foundation of salvation than they did, and which is therefore called the
foundation of the apostles and prophets; and directing souls to the
righteousness, sacrifice, and blood of Christ, the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world, to which the faith of Old Testament saints looked, and
by whose grace they were justified, pardoned, and saved, as we are: or else the
way and manner in which he became an apostle; it was "by, in, or through
the faith of God's elect", as the Syriac version renders it; he was chosen
of God, and brought as such to believe in Christ, and then called to be an
apostle: or rather this may regard the end of his apostleship, and be rendered,
"unto the faith of God's elect"; that is, either he was appointed an
apostle, to preach the doctrine of faith, which once he destroyed, and which is
but one, and is common to all the elect, and what is commonly received, and
embraced by the elect of God, in all ages; or to be a means and instrument of
bringing the elect of God to that faith in Christ, which is peculiar to them;
see Rom_1:5. There are some persons
who are styled the elect of God; these are not all men, some are vessels of
wrath fitted to destruction, ungodly men, foreordained to condemnation and
given up to believe a lie, that they might be damned; nor the Jews only, nor
all of them, for though, as a nation, they were chosen, above all others, to
many outward privileges, yet they were not chosen to special grace, and eternal
glory; only a remnant, according to the election of grace: but these are some
of both, Jews and Gentiles; some of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation;
these were chosen in Christ from eternity, and are the peculiar objects of the
affection and care of God, whom he calls, justifies, and glorifies: and there
is a special "faith" that belongs to these; which is a spiritual
looking to Christ, a going to him, a laying hold and leaning on him, and
trusting in him for salvation; and this faith is peculiar to the elect of God;
all men have it not, and those that have it, have it through the free gift of
God; nor is it given to any but to the chosen ones. The reason why the Jews did
not believe in Christ, was, because they were not of this number, Joh_10:26. And this faith is secured and, made
sure to them by their election; they are chosen to it, and through it to
salvation; they believe in consequence, and by virtue of it; and certainly
obtain it in all ages, as well as righteousness, life, and salvation; and it is
that by which they are known to be the elect of God: and the apostle mentions
it in this form, and manner, to distinguish it from other faith; the faith of
devils, and of reprobates, and the historical and temporal faith of hypocrites,
and nominal professors.
And the acknowledging of the truth; by which is meant the
Gospel, often called the truth, and the word of truth; in distinction from that
which was shadowy, the ceremonies of the law; and in opposition to that which
is false, it being from the God of truth, concerning Christ, who is the truth;
and containing nothing but truth, and what is led into by the Spirit of truth.
Now to preach, spread, and defend this, was the apostle constituted in his
office as such; and which he did preach with all clearness and faithfulness, to
bring souls to a spiritual and experimental knowledge of it, and so to an
acknowledgment, a public owning and professing of it:
which is after godliness; the Gospel is a doctrine according to godliness;
the truths of it have an influence, both on internal and external godliness;
they direct to, and promote the worship and fear of God, and a religious,
righteous, sober, and godly life and conversation.
