Gospels Of Men and Angels

The Gospel of the coming Kingdom of God to earth ("Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth" Matthew 6:10 KJV) is the only true Gospel. The Gospel is not about man's political or religious movements - all of the many "gospel" fallacies that been invented by men, and apparently even by corrupted angels (i.e. Satan), as the apostle Paul warned:

"^1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8 KJV; see also The Warning About Grievous Wolves)

"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ"

The Galatian church is a prime example of how people can lose sight of the truth if they turn their "vision" inward i.e. they subvert the Bible into nothing more than a mirror of themselves. It may seem so right, but it's not the Gospel if it's not the Gospel.

"^1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ [see Growing In The Grace And Knowledge] unto another gospel: ^1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ [see also Grace Into Licentiousness]. ^1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ^1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

^1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:6-10 KJV)

Paul emphasized that the true Gospel is God's Gospel to man, not man's gospel to man.

"^1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. ^1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

^1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the Jesus Christ, and wasted it: ^1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. ^1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, ^1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: ^1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

^1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days [see Peter and Paul]. ^1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. ^1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. ^1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; ^1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: ^1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. ^1:24 And they glorified God in me." (Galatians 1:11-24 KJV)
