2 Cor 4:1-6 Therefore, since we have this ministry through God's mercy, we do not lose heart.
2 Rather, we have renounced shameful hidden deeds; we do not act deceitfully nor distort the word of God, but by openly manifesting the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But even if our gospel (The one given to Paul) is veiled (hidden), it is veiled (hidden) among those who are perishing.
A strong statement, but that is what God said through our apostle Paul.
4 in whom the god of this age (SATAN/THE DEVIL) blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening/illumination of the gospel (good news) of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;
5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8, 9
“For by 1GRACE you are 2SAVED through 3FAITH, and that not out of yourselves; it is THE GIFT of God,

According to this verse~
What three elements are not your choice?
Why aren’t they not your choice? Next verse!
9 NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast.”
Where is the water if it is so important?
Why are they not your choice?

LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL
IGNORANCE IS SUPPRESSED BY KNOWLEDGE SO WATCH THE LANGUAGE!
KNOWING ENGLISH IS PERTINATE OR RELEVANT TO UNDERSTANDING AND ACKNOWLEGING THE WORD OF GOD AND THE MYSTERY ACCURATELY.
Spiritualizing ANY of the Bible is operating on one’s emotions!
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of THE FULL ASSURANCE OF UNDERSTANDING, to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE MYSTERY OF GOD, AND OF THE FATHER, AND OF CHRIST;
1st Corinthians 15:1-4
“Now I made known to you, brothers, the gospel (or good news) which I (Paul) PREACHED to you, which also you RECEIVED, in which you also STAND,
2 through which also you are SAVED, if you hold fast that word which I (Paul) preached to you--UNLESS YOU BELIEVED IN VAIN.
3 For I (Paul) delivered to you FIRST OF ALL that which I (Paul) also received: that Christ DIED for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was BURIED, and that He was RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY according to the Scriptures,”
What is missing in these verses?
Water baptism!
The prophets of the old testament!
The 12 apostles in Mat, Mk, Lk, Jn,
James, Peter and Jude!
Why are these missing from these verses in the passage dealing with SALVATION?
GO TO PPT FOR CHART
1Tim 1:12-16 I (Paul) give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, because he considered me to be faithful and appointed me (Paul) to serve him,
13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent (rebellious defiance against God and other people) man. But I received mercy because I had ignorantly acted in unbelief,
14 and the grace of our Lord abounded to me greatly with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I (Paul) am the FIRST ONE (first not worst).
16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me (Paul), NOT AS THE FOREMOST, but as the (First) SINNER, Jesus Christ might show complete patience, making me (Paul) an example for those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LANGUAGE
According to these verses~
Who made the true gospel, that had been hidden from all until Paul, known?
No one not any prophet, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James or Jude! How could they make it known since they didn’t understand it?
Since they didn’t understand it, why is Christendom spiritualizing what they teach to be the message for salvation?
Why? WATCH THE LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE MATTERS
Luk 18:31-34 And He (Jesus) took the Twelve (Andrew, John, Peter, Philip, Nathanel, James/ Zebedee’s son, Mathhew, Thomas, James/Alphaeus’ son, Thadaeus/Judas, Simon and Judas Iscariot, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem and ALL THINGS that are written BY THE PROPHETS concerning the Son of Man WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
32 For He (Jesus) will be delivered to the nations and will be MOCKED and INSULTED and SPAT ON.
33 And they will SCOURGE Him and PUT Him TO DEATH, and the third day He will RISE AGAIN.
34 And they (those twelve men) DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THESE THINGS. And THIS SAYING was HIDDEN FROM THEM, nor did they know (ignorant of) THE THINGS which were spoken.
Whose gospel did those receive? (NOT PAUL’S GOSPEL!)
How do we KNOW THAT? Because Jesus had not died yet neither had the GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD been given yet. Paul had not entered the scene yet.
Not the one from the 12 (Lk 18:30-34). Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and EVERYTHING THAT IS WRITTEN BY THE PROPHETS about the Son of Man WILL BE FULFILLED.
Luk 18:32 For he will be DELIVERED up to the Gentiles, and he will be MOCKED, INSULTED, and SPIT UPON.
Luk 18:33 After flogging him, THEY WILL KILL HIM, and on the third day HE WILL RISE AGAIN.”
Luk 18:34 BUT the disciples (the 12) DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THESE THINGS; this statement WAS HIDDEN FROM THEM, and THEY DID NOT COMPREHEND what was being said.
How then could they be looking forward to the cross and the crosse’s work?
What gospel are you to stand in, the 12’s gospel of the kingdom, under law?
Whose gospel saves you the 12’s gospel of the kingdom, under law?
Why wouldn’t theirs not save you?
Christ blood was not shed as of then!
When was the TRUE gospel for today delivered?
Who received it the TRUE GOSPEL first?
Where is the TRUE GOSPEL for today found?
What three elements makes it THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION?
Who is the TRUE GOSPEL for today’s apostle?
The Church, the body of Christ’s apostle is Paul.
Rom 11:13 Now I am speaking to you who are GENTILES. Inasmuch as I (PAUL) AM AN APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES, I glorify (Magnify) my ministry.
The Church, the body of Christ’s apostle is NOT:
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob nor his 12 sons
The Prophets
Moses
Jesus’ during His earthly ministry
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Peter
James
Jude, these were the apostles or leaders of Israel under the Law system.
2Cor 5:11-21 “Then, KNOWING the fear of the Lord, WE (the body members) PERSUADE MEN, and WE HAVE BEEN known to God; and I also hope to have been known in your consciences.
12 For we do not again commend ourselves to you, but are giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, in order that you might have it toward those boasting in appearance (Fleshly worship) and not in heart (the soul/spirit).
13 For if we are insane, it is to God; or if we are clear-minded, it is for you.
14 For the love of Christ compels us, having judged this, that if ONE DIED for all, then ALL DIED;
15 and HE DIED for all, in order that the living ones might live no more to themselves, BUT TO THE ONE HAVING DIED FOR THEM AND HAVING BEEN RAISED.
16 So as we now know NO ONE according to flesh2, but even if we have known Christ according to flesh1, YET NOW we no longer know Him so2.
WHY DON’T WE KNOW HIM AFTER OR IN THE FLESH?
17 So that if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; the old things have passed away1; behold, all things have become new2!
18 And all things are OUT OF THE SOURCE (origin of) God2, THE ONE having reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and having given to us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, (NOT MAT 28:18-20)
19 as, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT CHARGING their OFFENCES (SINS) to them, and HAVING PUT the Word of reconciliation IN US.
20 Then on behalf of Christ, WE ARE AMBASSADORS, as God is exhorting THROUGH US (the Body members), WE PLEAD on behalf of Christ, BE RECONCILED TO GOD!
WHY should we be PLEADING?
2 Cor 5:11 “KNOWING therefore THE TERROR OF THE LORD, we persuade men; ...”
21 For He (the Father) made the One who knew no sin (Jesus Christ) to be sin for us (the body members), in order that we might become the righteousness of God IN HIM.”
