The Gospel Message By Age

    So, it really irks me that the WT is able to snow people so easily with their MT. 24: 14 "kingdom message" schtick. Of the 30+ times "Gospel of ____ " is listed in the NT, only 4 times is it "gospel of the kingdom". All the other times it's "gospel of Jesus", "gospel of your salvation", "gospel of grace"...etc.

    The Christian ministry is about reconciliation with God, not the kingdom.

    17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
    18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
    19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. - 2 Cor. 5

    The gospel (good news) will change into "the kingdom message" after the church age has ended. But it is still going on and hasn't ended in 1914 like the WT has been saying for over a hundred years.

    I believe the kingdom message will be preached by literal male Jewish virgins, (144,000 of them) during the Great Tribulation after the church has been raptured.

    This is also the view of about 2/3 of evangelicals. It explains why so many Christians never heard about this kingdom gospel when we went to their doors. They were used to hearing about the ministry of reconciliation and the gospel of grace, the good news of Jesus... which is the appropriate Christian message for the time period we are living in.

    Not only do JW's not preach the message of reconciliation that Jesus gave us, they claim that their redirection to the gospel of the kingdom is actually the voice of God. Wow! That just screams cult.

    Good point waton. As usual, they try to have it both ways.

    That moment when you realize you wasted 40 years of your life telling people about the Paradise Earth when 2/3 of Evangelicals already believe in a Paradise Earth, but they just call it by another name: The Millennium Reign.
