And I already knew it to be true!\u00a0 Your current work with Acts 15 has demonstrated that without knowing\u00a0<em>that fact, to wit, there are two ACCEPTABLE gospels in the Bible,\u00a0<\/em>we really cannot know or understand anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The knowledge of two gospels almost acts as a foundation for learning anything that occurred after Peter went to the Gentile&#8217;s house and &#8220;had just begun to speak&#8221;. Knowing there are two gospels acts like a &#8220;Rosetta Stone&#8221; for the New Testament. Without it, nothing makes sense. \u00a0I am persuaded that for an honest heart, learning there is a second and symbol-less gospel for the Gentiles may provide a much-needed escape from\u00a0a guilt-driven way of worship that they don&#8217;t understand&#8230;and that is poorly and incorrectly executed at that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Without the knowledge that there are two ACCEPTABLE gospels being discussed in the New Covenant scriptures, all a person may see is that there is a commandment, or at the very least a compelling argument, to do things such as a water baptism and a ceremonial communion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">There can be a lot of guilt and fear \u00a0experienced by going against what the Bible\u00a0<em>seems<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>to be saying. I think &#8220;The Two Gospels&#8221; is a door out of that confusion.
