Please the verse where he told them not to preach the crucifixion yet
There isn't one, that is the point. They did not yet grasp the concept until after He rose, even though they were informed about it numerous times. Students sometimes do not understand prophecy until they actually experience it. This is why experience is necessary. We can't just read throught the Bible once and get it. God must guide us through experiences prepared for us so that we will get it. When it happens, that verse has new meaning.

So when Paul said not accepting the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.... he didn't mean that and it's OK to reject what Jesus taught as not being for us today? That's what the devil it trying very hard to get folks to believe.
I did not say that...you said it was talking about the gospel and I said it was about doctrine

Yes you are right
They didnt understand when Christ told them He would die and rise again until they witnessed it
Also I think they gained insight when the Lord opened scripture to them about his suffering and resurrection in Luke 24:27 and were filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts 2

But saying they werent told to evangelize the crucifixion implies they knew it and were prohibited from doing so even though scripture says they didnt understand it, it was hid from them and there is no scripture to support it

No, it is just a fact.
But now you are deflecting, breaking away from the main argument against your thread - which no one agrees with and I have lost interest in pursuing. Bye.

Jesus knew from a very young age that He was going to die on The Cross.
He certainly know it when He was pre-incarnate as "the Word was God"... Jn1.
However, during His 3.5 years of earthly ministry dealing with the Jews.......He didnt tell them about His Cross, or Him dying on it.

Later, after His Resurrection.. when Jesus was back in Heaven.......He called Paul into the Ministry to bring "the preaching of the Cross" to the World, but mostly to the Gentiles, as Jesus's Cross began "the time of the Gentiles".

So, "in the time of the Gentiles" with Paul being the "Apostle TO the Gentiles".. He brought us what he refers to 3x in the NT, as "MY Gospel"..
Jesus never preached this when He was on earth... And Paul preached only "Christ Crucified"., and this is the Gospel that the "church" is to preach to the world.
So, in essence you say as a Paulinist that Paul's Gospel is the gospel one must follow and not the gospel of repentance and the Kingdom of Heaven preached by Christ? is that it?
By doing so you put Paul above Christ (God) . Is this wise?

"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" (Matthew 4:17)

"Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" (Mark 1:14-15)

"But He said to them, 'I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.'" (Luke 4:43)

"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Luke 5:32)

"I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3)

"And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’" (Matthew 10:7)

"So they went out and preached that people should repent." (Mark 6:12)

"But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Matthew 9:13)

Also do not forget that Peter was chosen by GOD to preach the gospel of Christ to the gentiles;

"And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe." (Act 15:7)

This is the gospel message taught by all who are led by the Spirit, that He died for our sins, was buried and rose on the third day.
I found the gospel you believe
Good
Let me just say that is the essential thing...to believe the gospel Paul gave us

All the disciples preached salvation through the belief in Christ's death and resurrection. All scripture comes from God, divinely inspired. And _ to this day _ all who are filled with the Holy Spirit spread this gospel.
