2 | Mark1:1 who does the Gospel begin with | 1 Cor 1:17 | JCrichton | 121615 | ||
Hi, TOM2! Could you be more specific? Do you mean which of the four Gospels was written first? Since Gospel means: the message concerning Christ (it is about Christ), the kingdom of God (Christ is the only way into the Kingdom), salvation (Christ is the Resurrection and the Life--but for Him there's no Salvation!)... The Gospels are four narrations of Christ's incarnation, fulfillment of the Scriptures (Law and Prophets), His death, Resurrection and Ascension. Hence, every Gospel's objective is to introduce Christ to us! God Bless! Angel |

Mr Angel when I ask this Question "Did the Gospel pertaining to Jesus Christ began with John the Baptist."It seems you did not understand what I meant. I did not mean the four Gospel books. i meant if the Gospel began with John, who was sent to prepare the way before the Lord. so I found the answer by reading other scriptures in the other Gospels. yes! John was the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.sent by God to prepare His way. thank you Tom2 |

Hi, Tom2! The problem I had was that you presented an open ended question (there are two Johns: the Evangelist and the Baptist--both given a task to do in reference to the Gospel)... then there are the written accounts (Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)... "so I found the answer by reading other scriptures in the other Gospels. yes! John was the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.sent by God to prepare His way." I do not mean to disagree with you... specially since,technically, it seems that John the Baptist originates the Gospel... What is the definition of Gospel if not the Good News about the Kingdom of God (a message concerning Christ, the kingdom of God, and salvation)? Hence there has to be a different answer to your question: In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2) The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) but the angel said, 'Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11) As the above passages demonstrate, the Gospel of Christ originated with the incarnation of the Word and the announcement of the angel--and if we trace the prophecies and credit them with announcing the Good News, then the Gospel began some 700 years (Isaiah) before Jesus' birth. Now, if we get extremely technical we can trace it to Moses' words in Deuterony 18:15--it was the first prophecy that included clear lineage to Jesus! So, though John the Baptist is the precursor to our Lord's coming, I find that he, as the prophets before him, is a vessel and not the originator of the Gospel--which begins with the Word! God Bless! Angel PS: just Angel, though the title applies, I deem it unnecessary. |
