Rom2:16 In tDay when God shall judge tSecrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Rom16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel & tPreaching of Jesus Christ according 2t revelation of tMystery which was kept secret since tWorld began.
Please check out John 4:22 and Matthew 15:24 because in order to be safe before Paul you had to become a Jew and that meant doing everything the Jews did such as sacrifice of animals, obeying the law and circumcision.

Those were all OT Foreshadowing, in the physical, of Spiritual Truths. God instructed those not for works sake; but for heart's sake.
-
Prove to me anywhere in the Old Testament which includes the four Gospels the preaching of the finished cross work of Christ by grace through faith alone as salvation.
-
Wow! You're kidding right? Better yet, read the OT keeping this in mind.
-
The Old Testament can't save you. Are there Universal truths throughout it? Absolutely but there is no salvation gospel in any of the Old Testament or the Jewish Epistles, Hebrews through revelation for the body of Christ.
-
I never said the OT saves anyone. I said, God's Word is Complete, Unchanging (except in application) Without the OT one would not have understanding of MANY Truths. Whole Bible as our guide
-
And I never said we didn't need the Old Testament or the gospels are the Jewish Epistles. What I said was you will not find the body of Christ salvation gospel anywhere except for in the writings of Paul.

Think Manna, Bread of Life Water, Rock Etc, etc etc....(et al.)

Didn't I say there's universal truths thru out the bible? I did.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24 KJV God's promise fulfilled as it was written. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the WORLD through him might be saved. John 3:17 KJV
-
The World God was speaking of was Israel. I refer you again back to John 4:22. You could not be saved before Paul unless you became a Jew and we're a practicing Jew involved in everything the Jews did.
-
I believe when God says World, he means ALL/World. If He meant Israel, He would have said so accordingly. Agree with the latter. Because God called Israel His, by promise to Abraham and as the light to others (nations).
-
You have to take scripture in context. Matthew 15:24 tells us Christ came only to the lost sheep of Israel so the world to God was only Israel because those were the only people who could be justified. You had to be a Jew to be justified. John 4:22

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23,24 KJV Same as OT

Worshipping God as a spirit doesn't save you. You can't even worship God unless you are indwelt by God's spirit. Romans 8:9
