There is one gospel and one truth...Jesus is Lord! hang all the rest...
Many sects have significantly changed what Christ said and have termed their own doctrine "truth". And worse is that they claim that their version of the 'truth' is the only acceptable one.

Paul said that he preached as the gospel "the unsearchable riches of Christ".
I like this because is shows how extensive, vast, and all-inclusive is this gospel. It includes Christ not just in one aspect but in all of His aspect.
That is Christ is an unsearchably rich Savior, a exhaustless teasure of a Person.
"To me, less than the least of all saints, was this grace given to announce to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel." (Ephesians 3:8)

You said "..that's exactly what you are doing"
Where have I changed what Christ said and call my version of what Christ said is the truth?

You do not need to change what Christ said in order for that to be the case.

Christians are by definition 'Followers of Christ'. By definition again the doctrine of of Christ represents the truth for them. This is not by guess, but rather it is a commandment of Christ that we folllow His teachings and accept that His teachings as'truth'. We are even commanded to accept his teachings as a child would accept what a parent says ie without questioning or arguing.
There are Christian sects which have changed what Christ said and have instead called that 'truth' and this is contrary to what Christ commanded. Therefore the only acceptable truth from a Christian standpoint is the teachings of Christ.
If you cannot find an instance where I changed what Christ said then you dont have a point.

Originally posted by DowardThere are four gospels. And this may come as a shock to you, but they don't all say the same thing. They each have their own distinct point of view which frequently contradicts that of the other gospels.

Actually there were more gospels than that, but only four eventually managed to make it into the bible.

There are four gospels. And this may come as a shock to you, but they don't all say the same thing. They each have their own distinct point of view which frequently contradicts that of the other gospels.

understanding of what is being said and not said that makes you
think there are contradictions. These writers are telling the story
of Jesus as they remember and emphasizing what they feel is
important. Just because one person mentions something and
another one does not is no reason to say there is a contradiction.
When we read and compare the 4 gospel accounts we can get
a more detailed picture of what happened by putting the information
together. You must realize that each writer is not giving every detail
of every incident in the exact order. This is why so many people
believe the Holy Bible teaches that Jesus was put in the tomb on
Friday evening and arose on Sunday morning. They don't consider
everything carefully in each Gospel to put the information together
to see the truth.

Originally posted by rwingettall four books lead to the same truth...Jesus is Lord. Gospel means truth. Each of the "gospels" are entitled the gospel "according to"; it is a point of view, but that point of view still culminates in the truth that for Christians Jesus is Lord.

There is no contradiction...weak attempt at engaging in a Christian dialogue
