Gospel is for the Jew and the Greek!
I attended the lecture at Payton 101 on 10/20/2005 and I do not want to go deeply into it, I just wanted to say a few things. Dr. Dauermann had an opinion about the Nation of Israel, which goes against most, actually all of scripture. God I believe is a covenant God, who does not change in His ways and His character. If Israel could have been established by anything other than faith in a God, who we do not see, then I believe God would have done this already. Abraham had to believe, Jacob had to believe, Joseph had to believe, Moses had to believe, Joshua had to believe,and out of their belief, God established this incredible nation.
God wants us to love Him freely, because He gave His love, absolutely, without question, freely to us. The scripture that was quoted was Hebrews 11, and, "...without faith it is impossible to please God." I think that the gospel should be proclaimed not in word, but with our lives, completely recklessly abandoning our lives for Jesus. Christ gave us His all and He wants us to do the same, except He made it not a burden, because of the Holy Spirit. I know this all seems very evangelical, but it is actually the opposite of evangelical, because it may cost people their lives, maybe not physically, but sacrificially.
