What, exactly, is the gospel?

What makes up the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Love your neighbor?
Love God?
Be kind to others?
Love your enemies?

Or is it... pay your tithing? follow the prophet? avoid coffee, beer, and fornication?

Why is it that a church that claims to be God's true church pays more attention to the latter list than the former?

That would be me at 5 years old in a little rowboat in a huge storm, and my big brother in the water, unable to swim. That is my worst nightmare.

I don't fear the gospel or Jesus Christ, Loran. Why do you?

I would add to your list, repent. And by repent, I mean as it is used biblically. it does not mean be sorry.

Coggins, aren't you going to plagiarize a wikipedia article on John Sanders and answer Harmony's question? It's in vogue right now with apologists!

Because people like you exist Harmony, people who need adult supervision in spiritual things.

The Law of Moses, Harmony, was revealed and instituted in ancient Israel precisely because the preponderance of individuals like you in that culture made in necessary to capacitate the Gospel to an intellectual and psychological level at which it could be comprehended by those such as yourself.

And in any case, your claim about the Church is preposterous nonsense that anyone who has spent any about of time within it and lived the gospel while so doing, understands.

This coming from someone who is less active the harmony.

The gospel is a giant collection of beliefs on how you're supposed to live your life.

I doubt that can be explained in a short paragraph.
