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.

Big Grin you are aware the Paul's works includes passages beyond Eph 3:4,5 right?

Like the book of Romans, 1Cor 1:13, you know what do your own work..
start at page 5 and go forward.
