Sounds fun but: What is the gospel of Jesus Christ?
The gospel of Jesus Christ would be the written testimony of Matthew Mark Luke and John ?
Yea its what they write about
Or is it a particular sermon?
Well its the doctrine of salvation
But what is it?
ok I got it. I did go to Church when I was younger.
Then you should know the gospel. 😄
The Ten Commandments is good, and forgive thy enemies, love thy neighbor, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, whoever hasn't sinned, cast the first stone,
why is that good?
it's good because God loves us, and he sent Jesus otherwise we would be completely screwed.
We aren't meant to suffer for no reason
It would be irresponsible if God didn't look out for us.
but God is good
So what is the gospel?
the gospel is the infallable word of God I would guess
I told you I was like yeast in the bagel
'cept I believe in God
i didn't even use google yet on your question. I will do that now.
ok Gospel means "good news"
I must admit that I do not intellectually understand the explanation of how Jesus Christ took the sins of mankind on himself by dying on a cross. I think the language is however, full of symbolism that could be revealed over time. I only wish that it didn't sound like esoteric code to me the way it does. That said, I believe that Lord Jesus deserves praise and he showed us the way.
Well if you read the bible you'll understand it better.
I do understand what it means to accept and testify for the sake of community
Right, I wasn't ready before. I will get to it.

No worries.
Thats what the message of the whole bible is about.
I'm trying to figure out what sin means
The reason I am drawn to the Vedic stuff is that I love God very much, and it seems to me that in Vedanta (a super mega old religious system) God is discussed in fantastic detail. They have a different view on sin I think, but I don't know if they believe original sin. And of original sin, I think that since Jesus Christ in fact paid for that, he would have done it in service to the Creator, irrespective of the need for gratitude of the Created. This quickly moves into the area of intellect, which is always a potential pitfall. One of the points that Christianity makes is that one gets to live forever, and I wonder if this comes as a remedy for the fear of death. I acknowledge my mortality frequently, and I know that when the body dies, consciousness will either vanish, or as promised by the scriptures, the soul continues for some time. Why can't we love God and love Christ, and love Life without desiring to receive any reward or compensation in heaven?
I've heard it said that the worst sin is to think about Sin.
