Do not preach “different” Good News!

Shalom in Mashiyach’s Name,

The Hebrew Basic word: basar in H1319 please click on basar also click on Strong’s H1319

First we all read in Bible seeing In English: Gospel comes from two old English words, “god spell” meaning “good news“, or, as it is sometimes used, “glad tidings“. This is the translation of the Greek word “enaggelion” or “evangelion“. They all are same.

The Hebrew Bible i.e.: CJB, TLV, … TaNaKH, [Tanach], (Old Testament), the word “besorah” is used, and in English is translated as, yes, we all see the same as “gospel”, “good news” or “tidings.” The Hebrew word besorah is a noun feminine comes from the verb derived basar in H1319. The Hebrew three letter words basar (verb) shows bet-shin-resh בָּשַׂר

By the way, I enjoy reading basic about Rav Shaul’s spiritual transformation thru Ruach haKodesh convicted his reawakening spirit free from the cage of darkness self-righteousness “pharisees” prisoners. I understood Rav Shaul had no where to see humans immediately for consulting after spiritual transformation. Please read on Acts 9, 22, & 26 Chapter.

Acts 22:6-8: Yeshua means YHWH is Salvation.

“But it happened that as I (Rav Shaul) was traveling and drawing near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly flashed all around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’

“I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

“He said to me, ‘I am Yeshua ha-Natzrati, whom you are persecuting.’

Rav Shaul (Paul) saw brilliant light, heard voice (Yeshua) of YHWH, was blind for 3 days, prayed repented researched truth set his life free from the cage of “darkness self-righteousness prisoners”. Galatians 1 Rav Shaul (Paul) wrote before Elohim (God) he did not lie.

Amein! Yes and I believe Rav Shaul (Paul) told the truth speaking to me, you all (Mashiyach’s communities nowadays). Read this:

Galatians 1 Chapter TLV Greetings from Paul

1 Paul, an emissary (sent not from men or by man, but by Yeshua the Messiah and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), and all the brothers with me.

To Messiah’s communities of Galatia:

Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah— who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— to Him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

No Other Gospel

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from the One who called you by the grace of Messiah, to a different “good news”— not that there is another, but only some who are confusing you and want to distort the Good News of Messiah. But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should announce any “good news” to you other than what we have proclaimed to you, let that person be cursed! As we have said before, so I now repeat: if anyone proclaims to you “good news” other than what you received, let that person be under a curse! 10 Am I now trying to win people’s approval, or God’s? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.

How Paul Was Sent Out

11 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the Good News proclaimed by me is not man-made. 12 I did not receive it from any human, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.

13 For you have heard of my earlier behavior in Judaism—how I persecuted God’s community beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14 I was even advancing within Judaism beyond many my own age among my people, being a more extreme observer of my fathers’ traditions. 15 But when God—who set me apart from birth and called me through His grace[a]—was pleased 16 to reveal His Son to me so I would proclaim Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with any human. 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, either. Instead I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.

18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to visit with Peter, and I stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw no other emissaries except Jacob, the Lord’s brother. 20 (In what I’m writing you, before God, I do not lie.)

21 Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 But I was personally unknown to Messiah’s communities of Judea; 23 they only kept hearing, “The one who once persecuted us now proclaims the Good News he once tried to destroy!” 24 So they were praising God because of me.
