The Mystery Gospel

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [Mystery]

 

Who does this remind you of?

See:

J. Vernon McGee Re 17:4-5

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Mystery] "You can understand the godrulzian language?"

He's still stuck on Christ's incarnation (1 Tim. 3:16) and nature (Col. 2:2). GodrulzRandomThoughts denies the nature of sin and the problem of sin.

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "No one can know or understand the Gospel without the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is given to those who are trusting in the work and person of Jesus Christ for their salvation. Plus nothing."

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak [Eph. 6:19–20].
“And for me.” Paul now asks for prayer on behalf of himself. As he comes to the conclusion of this epistle, he moves into the area of the personal. He was a prisoner in Rome, and he suffered from a thorn in the flesh. Yet he does not ask for prayer that these physical handicaps be removed, but that he might proclaim courageously the mystery of the gospel.
“To make known the mystery of the gospel.” The gospel is a mystery that was not revealed in the Old Testament as it is now. The New Testament reveals that Christ died for all sins, was buried, rose again on the third day. This is the gospel and the message Paul was preaching.
“I am an ambassador in bonds.” Paul had just written about the spiritual warfare, and now we see that he was experiencing the onslaught of the enemy at the very moment he was writing.
“That therein I may speak boldly.” Paul asks for prayer that he may speak the gospel with boldness. We need that same prayer. We need a boldness to declare the Word of God.

Jesus fulfills the mystery (1 Tim. 3:9).
