The THING. The things which all these various Denominations teach. Is there a correct One out of all These? OR, what is The Correct One?
What path have You chosen to follow? Bible or what?

Deep, please realize that I am NOT going to continue answering questions that I have already answered more than once.
Just stop it. Or let me know if you have some medical condition like dementia or something.
God bless, but 34,000 registered church organizations does NOT mean that they have 34,000 different theological teachings.
Take care,

Yes.
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
(Mark 1:14-15 KJV)If Jesus came preaching the Gospel, then the Gospel is what Jesus preached. And Him alone. Everything else is commentary that is likely wrong. So what is right? The Teachings of Jesus, aka the Sermon on the Mount and the Sermon on the Plain, along with the explanations of the parables.
So...What is the Correct one? The Gospel Books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The next question, if of course translation issues. I typically recommend a Greek Interlinear by Dr. Alfred Marshal.
The Interlinear KJV-NIV Parallel New Testament in Greek…

But just the Gospel texts and Acts, in the English provided by Dr. Marshall.
Well I am aware of quite a number of various doctrinal teachings (things). The main thing that most all teach is a core message that the blood of Christ pays God for your sins. (Something that Jesus never preached.)
I have chosen to believe and follow the Teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and (to some extent) John. Along with the early chapters of Acts.
I am an Acts 2:38 Christian.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
(Acts 2:38 KJV)Hope that helps.

What YOU have chosen does not make It correct. If you have that good of an understanding of scripture; then please post It here for Others to read.

What did not Jesus come To Isreal preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom Of Heaven? Which Gospel was preached after That One?

Hi Deep, well my replies have been to your posts. I think you'll get the hang of it. Did NOT mean to imply you were a dummy. I am very encouraged that someone of your age is even on a computer. !!! My parent could just never get the hang of it.

What? My three thousand posts aren't enough?
You could say that to EVERYBODY, no?
So then, in your opinion, what DOES make it correct? Signs? Wonders? (Been there done those.)
The Gospel of the Son of God was sent for ALL people. Jesus preached first to His people, with the hope that they would listen. They did not.
A number of years ago, someone asked me if I could only select one book of the Bible to drop onto an Island of people who have never heard any of it, which one would I choose. Without hesitation, the Gospel of Matthew. He then asked which chapter, but that would be 5 through 7 known as the Sermon on the Mount. Obviously the next thing was which one single verse (out of Matthew). There isn't one, but I would choose what is known as the Lord's Prayer.
At this point I might just say Acts chapters one and two, with Acts 2:38 being the single verse, but that might be hard to grasp for people on an island who have heard nothing.
There is only one Gospel that the Son of God, Jesus the Messiah preached. Read through the above selections, and you should be able to understand it. Any other Gospel (and there are a number of others) don't come from Christ.
Of course if you want to follow Buddha, have at it. Or Moses, or Mohammed, or Krishna, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then go follow that path. I have spent all my life finding the path that is right. Do others want to listen? Nope. They all think they're smarter.
There are some Bible topics that the owner of this website has forbidden to be discussed ... in open forum. One of these is the Trinity. Some new people sign up and there is some limited discussion, but to persist is to be banned.
Also not many Catholics hang around. Bill, though is persistent. A lot of people consider Acts 2:38 Christians to be heretics. Some topics I can only discuss through PM (private message, or that email looking icon at the top).
One topic that I have been allowed to discuss is that the book of Revelation is not in our canon (i.e. our Bible). I also like to talk about the historical development of the canon of the New Testament, and that these books of the New Testament were selected by Catholic Bishops during the 300's.
If there is any specific topic, please feel free to send me a PM. Hover your cursor over my symbol and let the window pop up, then select "Send Direct Message."

I don't hope for anything in relation to Your question.
Does One just hope, or does One seek The Truth?

Read Your post. No problem: We all have to learn. However, learning The Bible Scriptures certainly takes prior and MUCH STUDY.
IT also requires keeping the Correct Scriptures in Their proper Time Period. What was written To Israela for Israel, must be keep that way.
That which is for The Age of Grace, must not be mixed with That which was for The Time past. The Kingdom of Isreal scripture cannot be mixed with The Kingdom Of God scriptures without causing Error.

The Bible mentions no such thing as the "Age of Grace."
Ask yourself where you heard that phrase from.
These are ideas that people invent in their imagination and impose onto the Bible.
The Bible is smothered with vain imaginations, most of which come out of the mouths of rather stupid pastors (e.g. Scofield).
Bullinger, unfortunately, is also one of these who created and pushed Ultradispensationalism.
That said, I cannot disagree that prophecies given to Israel for a certain time period in the history of Israel should not be randomly applied to all of history.
There are other ideas (vain imaginations) that are imposed upon the Bible. One of which is Inerrancy, but that topic cannot be discussed in open forum here (by moderator dictate). Another is canon, or how certain books are claimed to be from God while others are not. A third is this weird claim that "Scripture interprets scripture," a phrase that sounds wise, and pithy, but in truth has no meaning whatsoever.
And Not last nor least is this idea that there is a unified message presented in the Bible that progresses from one dispensation into another. This leads to the troubling behaviour where Christians use the writing of Paul to subvert, nullify, even dispense with the Teachings of Jesus. IF the Teachings of Jesus were valid only for that (supposed) three year time period while Jesus was on earth, then why in heaven would the Gospel authors even write down what Jesus taught AFTER his death, AFTER his resurrection, AFTER Jesus spent 40 days reminding them of HIS Gospel, AFTER his ascension, and even AFTER the epistles of Paul, and then say absolutely nothing about the Teachings of Jesus no longer being valid and replaced with Paul's Gospel? Instead, they wrote down the Teachings of Jesus and claim that Jesus told them to preach and spread HIS Gospel, not Paul's different one. Again, it makes no sense that Jesus would give them ZERO indication that a supposed second Gospel was on the horizon that would replace His.
This ultimately leads to the conclusion that Jesus was either misled by God, or completely inept to teach his Twelve the right Gospel.
And if one concludes that God decided to replace Jesus with Paul (why?), ... then why not continue on with Mohammad replacing Paul, and then the Dalai Lama replacing Mohammad, Joseph Smith replacing the Dalai Lama and L. Ron Hubbard replacing Joseph Smith, and whatever the Guru de jour is spouting off today?
I just get worried that you're taking all these "Holy Books" and throwing them into one big pot, and stirring them into a stew of conflicting beliefs.
Prophesies about Jesus are still about Jesus. Paul caused a riot (and rightly so) when he claimed two prophecies in Isaiah were about him.
What I have found over the years is that people cannot help but arrive at false conclusions if they read a false translation.
Let me give an example.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
- Matthew 5:17 KJVObviously this means Jesus is claiming to fulfill the prophecies, right? Nope.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to G4137 (πληρόω plēroō).
- Matthew 5:17 KJVQuite a number of years ago I was surprised to find out that G4137 doesn't mean to "fulfill" but means to FIX, not COMPLETE. Pleroo deals with FILLING in a pothole in the road. It's also used to describe the action of patching up a hole in a mud-wall that came apart. PLEROO is also used to describe FILLING-UP a glass of wine to the top. Even now in English, people will say "can I fix you up" to mean can I get you an alcoholic beverage.
I provide a LINK to the Liddell Scott Greek Lexicon for the word G4137 - PLEROO.
A. to make full:
I. 2. to fill full of food
III 5. having poured wine into the vessel till it was full
I happen to lean toward the second entry -
II. to fill with; to be filled with breath
Jesus wants to FILL us with the Law.
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
- Jeremiah 31:33 KJVThat's the covenant of Jesus, that he FILLS us with New Wine of the Holy Spirit.
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
- Acts 2:13-17 KJVFor this (the "this" is the wine in the cup) is my blood of the covenant, which is poured-out INTO many for the forgiveness of sins.
- Matthew 26:28When one is PLEROO (filled) with the Holy Spirit, one knows it.
Hope that helps.
