Resurrection Essential to the Gospel

1 corinthians 15
1 Now brothers, I want to clarify for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it. 2 You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you-unless you believed to no purpose. 3 For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time, most of whom remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God's grace that was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you have believed.

One thing to point out here that is kind of interesting is the fact that Paul is referring to new testament Scripture even though the Gospels had not been written at this time. The New Testament that we read is not lined up chronologically as the books were written. The first 11 books of the New Testament were all written by Paul before Mark put pen to paper. First Corinthians is believed to be the fourth book in the New Testament, Mark was the 12th book of the new testament, Mark being the first of the Gospels.

That set aside I'll get back to the topic, is there a gospel without the resurrection? The answer is absolutely not, if there is no resurrection and there is no salvation possible.

theQuestion:
That depends on just what you think the 'gospel' IS!
Churchianity teaches he never DIED- so it shouldn't be a problem!

That Scriptures teach that we will never die, I have no problem with that.

theQuestion:
Satan to Eve: "You will NOT die!"
God to Adam and Eve: "You will die, returning to the ground you were formed from!"
Churchianity: No one has ever, nor ever will die.
