• Yes, it may appear to be what Christianity has spread through the whole world over time...
• Yes, the Great Commission was what was taken to the savages of the new lands...
• And it may appear to be what the Lollards were taught - and yes, they and many others were VERY strict - some even more strict!
• And yes, many many people died for what was taught in the Great Commission.

Apostasy
Look at EVERY place the gospel was preached - it has fallen into an increase of ungodliness.  Apostasy has moved in EVERY TIME and is moving in again today in America.  It is happening in our own churches.  It is happening in our KJB churches as it has happened in every church and denomination.

Glowing and Growing?
In fact, the glowing and growing appearance that is IS working is only a delusion to help folks follow the antichrist when he makes his appearance.  THE VERY SAME SCRIPTURES AND THE VERY SAME MESSAGE will come with the Antichrist! Gospels and Acts 1-8.

Hebrews through Jude tell us what will take place during that time the Antichrist is 'doing his thing' and is also a false gospel if preached TODAY!

Purpose of Gospels
There is a purpose today for the Gospels - but it's purpose is NOT for us to follow those teachings today!  They were to be followed when Jesus was first on the earth; they will be followed again when He is on the earth the 2nd and final time!  The purpose of Acts 1-8 was for when the Jews went out to the earth to spread the gospel of Jesus.

They Killed Jesus
And remember, the Gospels weren't followed when he first came - they killed Him.  So why do we think us Gentiles will do any better?

Modern Use of Same Gospel
Rick Warren and the Pentecostal flavouring from the Pentecostal churches all the way to Rick Warren preach and teach the Gospels and Acts 1-8 today.  Doesn't that tell a Bible believer something?  And to hear it preached in our own KJB churches today?  Won't somebody warn someone about it?

So today, when they are NOT supposed to be followed, people are trying - but this time under a new leader - the devil himself through these falsely educated preachers, professors and pastors!  They had to change the Word of God in order to get away with it.

If anyone tries to teach otherwise today, known as Paul's epistles, the people try to do away with them and with the ONLY book that rightly divides them!

The Gospels and Acts 1-8 are FOR us, but not TO us.  We can and should tell folks about what Jesus did on this earth, but why not also tell the folks that what Jesus did was SAID AND DONE TO THE JEWS - NOT to the Gentiles?

Confusion
Why do we confuse people with the Scriptures?  Why do we encourage folks to read the Gospels but not Paul.  Why do people not know these things today?

Why?
Because preachers don't rightly divide the word of truth.  They teach and preach profane and vain babblings (everything that is not rightly divided is profane and vain babblings) and just like the scriptures say, it ALWAYS increases unto more ungodliness - and that is exactly what is going on today.  II Timothy 2:15,16

Those profane and vain babblings will eat as doth a canker.  II Timothy 2:17

What Must We Do About It?
Paul says those mouths must be stopped, they subvert whole houses and teach things which they ought not - and they do it for money - filthy lucre.  Titus 1:11.  Remember, they believe gain is godliness!  I Timothy 6:5

In fact, Titus 1:14 says not to give in to Jewish fables and commandments of men because they turn you from the truth and the Great Commission, if taught today, is EXACTLY that - a JEWISH FABLE because it was told to the JEWS.  Titus 1:14

These guys may profess that they know God, but in works (Gospel works) they deny him.  Then God calls them abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.  Titus 1:16

What I Must Do
In Titus 2 Paul tells us what to speak, and to exhort, and to rebuke with all authority.  I will do that with my King James Bible by preaching the entire Bible rightly divided by showing TO people Paul's epistles, with what I have called the Greater Commission.

In Paul's Manner
However, as I have learned from Paul, I must do it in a manner that is not like what many of the KJB brethren have taught me to do - I will try to be what Paul tells and shows me to be!

Any of the contentions and strivings about the law are unprofitable and vain.  Titus 3:9. I must do what I can to avoid foolish and unlearned questions as they do gender strifes.  And that, for me, is a hard thing to avoid!

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;  And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. II Timothy 2:23-25

Whole Counsel of God or build a church?
I will try to preach the word, as told to me by Paul - and yet, I will try to preach the whole Bible,  but rightly divided, of course.  If I get a church to pastor as a result of that, then amen - if I don't, that would not surprise me, because during the perilous times of apostasy, and growing and happy church doesn't appear to be all that easy to 'make.'

I am still learning - but I can tell you this much, what Paul preaches is truly the peace of God and now I see it as a peace that passeth all understanding.  Paul shows us the joy that Christ wants us to have; Paul shows us the riches of understanding are truly riches that I enjoy more than materialistic riches.

Review the Great Commission verses.
Yes, it DID take place!  In it's time, it was the truth!
Matthew 28:19,20
Mark 16:15-20
Acts 1:8
Acts 3:25

It was Jewish!
Acts 3:19-26
Abraham knew what was coming!
Galatians 3:7-9

It was done!
Acts 4:1-4
Peter and John were involved.
Acts 4:13

And yet, even though it is OVER, you can see the same stuff being taught today - Acts 4:13-37!

Jesus said the troubled times would come - when He was refused and rejected by 'his own' again, they would live in tribulation!
John 16:16-33

Paul preaches the gospel of Jesus, of course - see I Corinthians 15:1-8.  But... he also preaches BEYOND that by preaching what Jesus taught him to preach and teach!

It is called the way of God MORE PERFECTLY!  Acts 18:24-28
It is what is supposed to be taken unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH. Acts 13:47
It is the way in which we can NOW PLEASE GOD!  I Thessalonians 4:1
It is the way we hear of what Christ did for us AFTER he rose! Romans through Philemon
It is the way that is NOT BEING TAUGHT in the churches today, even though it is SUPPOSE TO BE!  I Corinthians 4:17
