1 Cor 15:1-4...the gospel…By which also ye are saved…how that Christ died for our sins…he was buried, and rose again the third day. (Eph 2:8-9, Eph 1:13)

Ethiopian Bible:
-Extra books (1 Enoch, Jubilees, Meqabyan) that most of the early church did not accept as Scripture.
-SOME MATERIALS (especially church-order texts) that were ADDED LONG AFTER THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN.
-An Old Testament based on the Septuagint, which differs from the Masoretic Text in places like the Genesis chronologies.
-A canon that is relatively loose and not strictly fixed.
-Its connection to non-Chalcedonian (miaphysite) teaching

No solid evidence shows King James was a “Master Mason.”
The claim rests on one later document: the 1658 “Mutual Agreement” of Lodge Scoon and Perth, which says he was entered as a Freemason and Fellow Craft in 1601.

Historians of early Scottish masonry treat this as unreliable—it was written nearly 60 YEARS LATER BY THE LODGE ITSELF TO PROMOTE ITS STATUS, and no contemporary records from James’s lifetime confirm membership.

Speculative Freemasonry (with degrees like Master Mason) developed after his death in 1625; THE FIRST GRAND LODGE DATES TO 1717.

James did take an interest in architecture and Solomon’s Temple legends, but that is not the same as being a Master Mason.

The 1611 Bible was issued as “The Holy Bible… Appointed to be read in Churches” and is traditionally called the AUTHORIZED VERSION. “King James Version” (KJV) became the common popular name later, especially in America.

1 Corinthians 15:11 does not prove Paul and the Twelve preached the same gospel.
Paul says that whether it was him or the others (like Peter and the Twelve), “so we preach, and so ye believed.” The “so” simply means “this same thing”—and the thing they all preached was that Jesus rose from the dead.
Paul has just finished listing the people who saw the risen Jesus. Then he says that no matter who told the Corinthians about it, they believed that Jesus rose. The next verse makes the point clear: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead…”
So the only thing this verse says they had in common was the fact of the resurrection. Both Paul and the others saw the risen Lord and told people He was alive. That does not mean they taught the exact same message or that the Corinthians were saved under the same gospel the Twelve preached. Agreeing that Jesus rose is not the same as preaching the same gospel.

Galatians 1:23 (KJV) But they had HEARD ONLY, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

Context
Paul is defending the origin of his gospel: it came by direct revelation from Christ, not from men (Galatians 1:11–12). He was describing what those had heard about him.

I love this one too.

Acts 20:25 (KJV) And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

Peter & the 11 preached the gospel of the kingdom: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt 10:7).
Directed to Israel (Matt 10:5-6).
Repent and water baptism for remission (Acts 2:38).
Signs accompanied it.
Earthly Davidic kingdom promised by the prophets.

Paul preached the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24).
Jew & Gentile equal in one Body (Eph 3:6)
Saved by grace through faith alone in Christ’s finished work (1 Cor 15:1-4; Rom 3:24)
No law, no water baptism required.
Mystery KEPT SECRET since the world began (Rom 16:25)

See the difference:
Same historical events (death, burial, resurrection) different message and program.

Kingdom gospel is prophecy to Israel (SPOKEN since the world began: Acts 3:21).

Grace gospel is mystery revealed to Paul (kept SECRET: Eph 3:9)

Acts 20:25 doesn’t prove they preached the same:
Paul said he preached “the kingdom of God.”
“Kingdom of God” is a BROAD TERM (God’s rule).

In Paul’s context it means the spiritual/heavenly reign of Christ over the Body (Col 1:13; Rom 14:17), not the prophetic earthly kingdom of heaven offered to Israel.

Paul NEVER said “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
He NEVER called Israel to national repentance and baptism so the times of refreshing could come (Acts 3:19-21).

He preached the mystery of the Body of Christ instead.

One cross, two purposes.
Peter: cross charged to Israel, repentance for the kingdom.
Paul: cross as finished work for free justification by faith alone for all.
Acts 20:25 uses “kingdom of God” in the broader sense of God’s rule under the dispensation of grace — not the same gospel the Twelve preached.

[Velez J Seas @Seas_Velez]

Acts 20:24–25 in no way proves Paul preached the same gospel as the Twelve. He calls his ministry “the gospel of the grace of God,” then says he went preaching the kingdom of God. “Kingdom” simply means the reign of Christ. In Paul’s message that is believers translated into the kingdom of the Son (Col 1:13), not Israel’s earthly kingdom at hand (Mk 1:14–15; Acts 3:19–21).
The gospel of the kingdom was the prophetic offer to Israel. Paul’s gospel of grace (salvation by faith apart from the Law and Israel’s covenants) was the mystery revealed to him (Rom 16:25; Eph 3:1–9). Using the word “kingdom” does not erase that distinction. Acts 28 shows the same thing: Paul still proves from the Law and Prophets that Jesus is the Christ, while remaining the steward of the mystery. Shared language about Christ is not identity of gospel.

[Velez J Seas @Seas_Velez]

Paul’s “therefore” looks back to the list of resurrection appearances he just gave (vv. 5–10). “Whether it were I or they” identifies the preachers: Paul and those eyewitnesses (Cephas, the Twelve, etc.). “So we preach” points to the content they shared—that Christ rose from the dead. That is confirmed by the next verse: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead…”
The chapter’s subject is the resurrection. Paul is not saying that he and the Twelve preached identical gospels in every respect. He is saying that, whatever other differences existed, they all proclaimed the risen Christ—the one fact the Corinthians had believed. Agreement on the resurrection is not the same as preaching the same gospel.
