Paul's Beliefs

July 27, 2012 at 1:54 am

"The mystery about Christ, which in former generations was not revealed to men, is now disclosed to dedicated apostles and prophets through the Spirit."
-Ephesians 3:4,5

I propose that Paul never referred to an Earthly Christ but a Spiritual one. This is made clear in verse 4 which implies the mystery of Christ wasn't made known by Jesus himself (really?) but instead, all mysteries of Christ Jesus were made known to everyday apostles through spiritual revelation.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
