(I'm not one) but 2 questions.
Some argue that world in verses like the Matthew 24 one refer to Roman Civilization. What do you think of that?

In Romans 10:13, Paul states that everyone had heard the message, but in Colossians 1:25, he says, "I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit so that I might complete the preaching of the word of God." All nations had heard, but the work was not finished. More people could be reached.
People from all around the world heard the Gospel before the Old Covenant age ended in 70AD. But the end of the Great Commission was just the beginning.

Dennis,
I have a question about preaching "the gospel" in all the world.
Many denominations feel called to send whole bibles or new testaments to other nations, even in their native language, but is that the gospel?
What gospel did Paul preach in Greece or Rome? To non-believers.
Paul didn't have a complete set of scrolls of the Jewish scripture with him on the road as far as I could tell. Also he preached verbally from memory and didn't have to prove anything from writing, although men from Berea did search the scripture to prove to themselves what he had said.
Maybe the "gospel" can be taught a lot more simply than most believe that it can be.
Please comment. Indiana bob

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Has - "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world" - happened yet? Opinions?
--- End quote ---
I occurred to me that it does not say this gospel will be preached and understood.
It just says "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world."
And it did not say "unto all the world" which is used 2448 times in the KJ - NT and more personal.
For the first 4 or 5 years BT was available in China and we even received emails from Mainland China. Then they cut us and all Christian sites off.

Can anyone define the Gospel in one short sentence? Because I cannot.
We know about the four commonly called 'Gospel Books', Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Is there more to the gospel than what's in those four books?
I know there are many pieces of the Gospel (good news) and I'm fairly sure I know all the pieces. But what pieces exactly?
Before anyone answers please listen to these three YouTube teachings by Ray. It may take you a few days.

One sentence - Not a book please

Dennis, how about this?
I Cor. 15 Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you.. For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures..
