What does 'The Gospel' mean to you - in 200 words or less

I feel that continuing to debate whether Jesus was a failed Messiah or preacher is going beyond the scope of this thread.Those pursuing this line of discussion should start a new thread to hash out the issues.Thanks

I agree the original responses are legitimate, but given your knowledge and their persistence; this seems to be escalating beyond the scope of the thread. Each response provides another can of worms and others are joining the fray.This thread doesn't seem to be about defending or proving the legitimacy of what one believes concerning the Gospel.I still feel that the issues that have spawned from the idea that Jesus failed his mission should be taken to a new thread.This thread should remain personal expression.Thanks
