It's really not that difficult. Theology yes, gospel, no.

1 Cor. 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block,
and to Gentiles foolishness,
1 Cor. 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus
Christ, and Him crucified.
1 Cor. 2:4 And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words
of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1 Cor. 2:5 that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on
the power of God.

Yes, you have. And yet you keep denying the consequence of your own words.

Ironic isn't it? For this is exactly what you accuse Gary of, when you claim to
be able to reduce his claims to "P and (not P)". For the P you claimed he said
was NEVER in his own words. And when you recast it in your own words, he denied
you got it right (and rightly so).

So you are doing the same thing you accuse Gary of. That is what you have
reduced this thread to.

You sure have a lot to answer for.
