If you can show me that they lived under the LDS type of gospel pre law then I wouldn't keep asking you guys this question.
Did they have baptism?
What about laying on of hands for the gift of the holy ghost?
Temple ordinances?
Round and round we go, where we stop nobody knows.

Galatians3:8--"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed."
How does your changing the goalposts deny the fact that Abraham lived under the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The scriptures have Abraham being taught the gospel, and living under the laws, statues, and commandments of Jesus Christ, no matter what you believe it is. And on top of that--receiving the grace of God because he obeyed God's laws, statutes, and commandments:
Genesis26:4-5--"And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
That he received of the grace of God according to his obedience--violate any faith alone theology.
If it was not the gospel of Jesus Christ--was it the gospel at all? Showing baptism, or any other specific ordinance cannot negate the fact it was the gospel of Jesus Christ--the very one who brought the gospel to Abraham.
Then why do you ***ume it is the LDS gospel since you have absolutely no proof for this? The Bible gives us things that were given to Abraham to obey and this in no way matches the LDS gospel.
And use the Bible to show us what these commands were. To leave the land where he was living, to have a son, to sacrifice his son etc. Are there any other commands that you want to add that in any way show that Abraham was under the LDS gospel?
And around and around.

PS DBerrie has already pointout that there is no LDS gospel. There is only the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When Paul said that Abraham was living under the Gospel, he meant the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is all we need to know. And it is the greatest problem for you. The Bible teaches this and you are attempting to negate the Bible, which makes you anti-Biblical.
There is no LDS gospel.
Remember Billyray, this forum is about LDS beliefs, not about your personal distortions of what the LDS believe. Every time you use the phrase, "LDS gospel", you are violating the rule of the forum that you are constantly reminding us of, that this forum is about LDS belief. Please stop being the hypocrite by using this phrase. It is a reflection of your own distorted opinion and is not an LDS belief.

There is no LDS gospel, as I stated to you. There is only the gospel of Jesus Christ--or it isn't the gospel at all. Your adding "LDS" to that is only a diversion of your making. If you see anywhere I have stated that--please print it.
What it consisted of in no way addresses the fact that the scriptures state that Abraham was taught the gospel of Jesus Christ, or that Abraham received of God's grace for obedience to that gospel laws, statutes, or commandments.
To be quite frank, Billyray--I see no more than your "add-on" diversions in your answers--which is why I started the changing goalposts thread. Your posts have no substance whatsoever.
You did really bad when you tried to defend your theology--now you spend your time in diversions--but appear even worse yet.
Show me from the Bible what those commandments were that Abraham was under.
And just how would that effect the scripture stating that Abraham was taught the gospel:
Galatians3:8--"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed."
Galatians3:17-19--"And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Which was four hundred and thirty years after what?
V18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator."
It was added to what?
Abraham knew about Christ coming but nowhere does the Bible teach what you believe, that Abraham lived under the LDS type of gospel. You haven't shown me that yet you still claim that this is true. Please show me in the Bible where this is taught. Show me from the Bible what Commandments Abraham was under so we can validate your claims.
I have already answered this question multiple times and you simply ignore it. Here it is again for you. It was added to the existing commandments such as not eating blood etc.
Now are you going to show me where it says that Abraham was under the LDS gospel?

There is no LDS type of Gospel. There is only the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The LDS believe it and follow it to the best of their ability.Abraham knew about Christ coming but nowhere does the Bible teach what you believe, that Abraham lived under the LDS type of gospel.

There is only the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And the scriptures are enough proof that Abraham was under the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unless you think that Paul was preaching another Gospel? You don't, do you?
And calling me a liar is not Christ-like.

There is no LDS type of Gospel. There is only the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You have been reminded of this several times. Your refusal to correct your statements and your continual use of this term is dishonest and deceptive.
Abraham was under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, unless you believe that Paul taught a different Gospel.
Marvin
I made the claim that you believe that Abraham was under the LDS type of gospel. You took issue with that so I am asking you what is different.
