It seems to me that all of your examples of the word Gospel from Paul are compatible with the idea that the Gospel is the message God gave Paul to spread to others
- Hi Ken. Yes, I agree, I was about 16% into doing that post when a few things like that 'hit' me. But I continued to look for the "my/our gospel" and "the Gospel of God/Christ" posts.
... Some of Paul's uses of the word Gospel would seem to be incompatible with the word Gospel meaning a written document comprised of brief stories from Jesus' life and ministry and an account of his death and resurrection, unless Paul is being extremely figurative (which is possible).
Are there any uses of the word Gospel in Paul's letters which (by themselves) would require or strongly suggest that he was speaking of a written document? Perhaps something like 'as is written in the Gospel?'
- I think I need to look more at the verses with "the gospel" in them.
And I need to look at the Greek, including the verses with the associated 'proclaim,' which may be εὐαγγελίζω/ euaggelizó.
And I will look at contexts of the passages with "a different gospel" in them: ie. 2 Corinthians 11:4 (which also has 'a different spirit'), and Galatians 1:6&7.
