Good point. I try to play for the initiative in gambit style as often as possible, except for when I play the French. I like the French. It’s fun to get the opponent out of his comfort zone, even if the sacs are unsound. Gambit play is tricky. With Black I play 1.d5 e5 quite often with good results against players 2200+. Against 1.f4 I play ...g5 with mixed results.
Against 1.c4 I sometimes play ...b5.
Against 1.b3 I play ...f6 and ...Kf7 with mixed results. |

I'm defending the following contention:
The gospel that Jesus preached during his earthly ministry is not the same gospel for us today. My first supporting argument for this is:
<The resurrection is an essential part of the Christian gospel today. The gospel preached by Jesus that he gave to his apostles did not include the resurrection.> |

| | OhioChessFan: Okay. We may reach a point where a precise definition of "gospel" becomes important, but for now I think we can proceed. <The resurrection is an essential part of the Christian gospel today. The gospel preached by Jesus that he gave to his apostles did not include the resurrection.>
I'll try to limit my responses as typically each iteration gets longer. Jesus gave the apostles so much as they and their hearers could understand. It clearly took until the resurrection occurred for that to happen. But immediately after the resurrection, the apostles began teaching it. <The apostles didn’t even know about the resurrection and were slow to believe when it was reported that Christ had risen.> They knew, but didn't understand. They were told, but didn't comprehend. Their inability to understand that doesn't de facto mean it wasn't part of the message. <Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom to the Jews. He said he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it.> I agree. I don't think this is a point in favor of your position. <Paul was given the gospel of grace to the gentiles. See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, which includes the resurrection. Paul said the law is dead.> Paul's gospel was the one gospel, given by Jesus. Ezra 7:6 references the law of Moses, given by God. Nehemiah 10:29 references God's law, given by Moses.Those are the same law. You'd think I was playing semantical games if I claimed otherwise. I think you're playing semantical games in this case. <We are saved by the gospel of grace and not the gospel preached by Christ during his earthly ministry.> There is one gospel. It is the power of salvation for all who believe, both the Jew and the Gentile, according to Romans 1:16. One gospel, for all people. |

 | | gezafan: The liberals in the basement really, really don't like me posting examples of non-white on white violent crime. Apparently, in their world, you're not supposed to say or do anything that makes non-whites look bad, even if they murder white people. It also conflicts with their deranged and bigoted worldview that whites, and only whites, are bad and that all non-whites are good. |

| Apr-02-21 | | Big Pawn: <ohio: Jesus gave the apostles so much as they and their hearers could understand> Christ's gospel on earth did not include the resurrection and belief in it, as is made clear in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. His gospel was for the Jew only. The Jews were to accept Him as their prophesied Messiah. That's not the gospel to the gentiles. |

It's lots of fun to watch them run for cover, like so many beetles under a log when it gets turned over. |

| Apr-05-21 | | diceman: <In a recent news article (not an opinion piece) about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s executive orders on fairness in women’s sports, CNN reporter Devan Cole stated that, “It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.” It’s a bold claim. Millions of babies are born and assigned a sex at birth every single year, which undermines the idea that there is “no consensus criteria” for it. Even with that inconvenient truth aside, CNN itself was assigning sex at birth in its own articles just days prior to claiming that it’s impossible to do so. Jack Crowe of the National Review pointed out that on March 28, CNN published an article about Hillary Duff welcoming her third child. In the article, CNN identifies the baby as a girl. From the article: “Hilary Duff welcomed her third child, a girl named Mae James Bair. The former Disney Channel star shared a photo of her newborn daughter on Instagram.” The article then goes on to explain that Duff even published a book about her experience as a mother, titled “My Brave Little Girl.” Just a day before that, CNN published an article about Bindi Irwin giving birth to her first child, wherein they also identify the baby’s gender. “The ‘Crikey! It’s the Irwins’ star and her husband, Chandler Powell, announced the arrival of their first child together, daughter Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, on Instagram.” How can CNN justify publishing back-to-back articles announcing the births of baby girls, then publish a news piece stating that it’s impossible to know a person’s gender identity at birth? If that claim was simply the author’s opinion, then it should not have appeared in a news piece. Passing off opinion as fact is misleading and disingenuous.> |

| | OhioChessFan: <BP: Christ's gospel on earth did not include the resurrection and belief in it, as is made clear in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.> Here's that passage:
<Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures> I don't see any nexus between your claim and that passage. <His gospel was for the Jew only. The Jews were to accept Him as their prophesied Messiah.> His gospel was for the Jews only during his lifetime. <That's not the gospel to the gentiles.> When the apostles went to teach groups, did they have to take a show of hands to know which gospel to preach? |
|
| Apr-10-21 | | Big Pawn: <Ohio: His gospel was for the Jews only during his lifetime.> Yes, now we are finding common ground.
This is the Gospel of the Kingdom. It’s what we find in the Four Gospels. This is not the Gospel of Grace given to the Gentiles. I’ll have time to expand on the differences between the two in my next post. |

| | OhioChessFan: I think we're in agreement, but to clarify for others, "the gospel was for____" means "to be preached to _____". If you don't agree, we'll have to back up a step. |
