The distortion of the gospel‚ however‚ fundamentally changes the outlook of their beliefs‚ and makes their gospel different from the true gospel of Jesus Christ. The local church in the 21st century must stand firm upon the core tenants of the gospel without wavering‚ and must remain open to changing their third tier ideas about the gospel.

1. What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture? To many individuals‚ the Christian gospel is seen as selective and intolerant. Although we are all free to accept the gift of salvation through Christ‚ He tells us in John 14:6 that He is “the way‚ the truth‚ and the life: no man cometh unto the Father‚ but by me.” To many‚ this will seem intolerant and almost haughty.

It could have been avoided‚ and can be treated if we follow the Gospels. The Gospels have many parables and teachings about the poor‚ and we can link that to poverty today. Poverty affects many children in Africa. In Africa 40 to 70% of the population lives in slums‚ and the child mortality rate in those slums is 65% higher

Jesus of the Gospels The beginning of Jesus’ final week on earth began with Palm Sunday. This is where Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey to celebrate passover. People welcomed Jesus by throwing palms under his donkey. This was so that the donkey would not touch the ground. This was kind of the ’red carpet’ treatment even though a donkey was equivalent to a poor man’s car nowadays. Even though Jesus is all powerful‚ he chose to ride on a donkey.

Those four are The Gospel‚ Early Church which also is called Church History‚ Letters which is also called Epistles‚ and Apocalypse. The first one I will talk about is The Gospel. Out of all four of the major literary in the New Testament‚ The Gospel is the only one that the early Christians invented. The English word Gospel translated from the Greek word evangelion‚ which means good news about Jesus. The word Evangelist comes from the word euangelizomai in Greek. The Gospel tells different stories
