Sir my only pointing out is that when paul preached to them in the past, he preached limited atonement as part of his gospel message. Thats all I am saying. I am quite aware of the overall context.
No one except you is debating what Paul has done in the past BECAUSE we do NOT know EVERYTHING Paul preached about in the past; a missing letter even to the Corinthians, etc. (but please note he did not preach EVERY aspect of the Gospel EVERY time he preached--as the Gospel reaches into EVERY venue of Scripture and thus presents one with an impossibility ..., however, it may be preached as one faithfully discourses on the whole counsel of God over time, et. al.). Every-time one faithfully preaches he preaches part and parcel of the complete Gospel.

If I say I am going to preach on faith this week--I am preaching the Gospel.

Next week if I preach about grace--I am preaching the Gospel.

The following week I preach about mercy--I am preaching the Gospel.

The next week I preach about ... and the list goes on and on, but each time I can be said I am preaching the Gospel.
The point of exegesis is what he is saying "in context" of 1 Cor 15 "now." In context, in 1 Cor 15 Paul reminds them of what part of the gospel he preached to them previously--the death and resurrection of Christ--and then he progresses with his argument. Could he have said more than just about the death and resurrection--of course, and we all know he did, but what exactly and to what extent, we do not know..... Now this is the truth of the context; what you decide to do with it is up to you ...
