"THE RIGHTLY DIVIDED BIBLE"

"WHO COMPLETED THE HOLY BIBLE"

Col 1:24-27 "--REJOICE IN MY SUFFERING FOR YOU,AND (FILL UP) THAT WHICH IS BEHIND,OF THE AFFLICTIONS OF CHRIST IN MY FLESH; FOR HIS BODY'S SAKE,WHICH IS THE CHURCH. WHEREFORE I AM MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE DISPENSATION OF GOD, WHICH IS GIVEN TO ME, FOR YOU; TO FULFIL (i.e. Gr Antanaplero; To Complete) THE WORD OF GOD". EVEN (THE MYSTERY),WHICH HATH BEEN HID FROM AGES AND FROM GENERATIONS,BUT NOW IS MADE MANIFEST TO HIS SAINTS, (WHICH IS),--CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY".

In the foregoing verses,Paul plainly states; that "the fulfilling", or "filling up", i.e. "the completing" of God's written message to mankind (The Holy Bible),was dispensationally entrusted solely to Paul,and this was to be accomplished by Paul's exclusive revelation of "THE MYSTERY GOSPEL",--as described by Paul in Gal 1:1,11,12. A gospel "NOT OF MEN","NEITHER BY MAN" ,BUT BY CHRIST JESUS"; or as Paul went on to say; "BUT I CERTIFY YOU BRETHREN,THAT THE GOSPEL WHICH WAS PREACHED OF ME,IS NOT AFTER MAN; FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT,BUT BY THE REVELATION OF CHRIST JESUS".

In Rom 16:25,26, Paul also describes (his) foregoing,unique,"Bible completing" "Mystery Gospel", i.e.as follows: "NOW TO HIM THAT IS OF POWER TO STABLISH YOU ACCORDING TO (MY) GOSPEL,AND THE PREACHING OF CHRIST JESUS;---ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY---WHICH WAS KEPT SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN--BUT NOW IS MADE MANIFEST--". And in Eph 3:1-1O "FOR THIS CAUSE,I PAUL,THE PRISONER FO CHRIST JESUS (FOR YOU GENTILES); IF YE HAVE HEARD OF THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE,WHICH IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD: HOW THAT BY REVELATION (Gal 1:1,11,12) HE MADE KNOWN UNTO ME (THE MYSTERY),AS I WROTE AFORE IN FEW WORDS (Rom 16:25,26). WHEREBY, WHEN YE READ,YE MAY UNDERSTAND (MY KNOWLEDGE IN THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST). (WHICH IN OTHER AGES WAS NOT MADE KNOWN UNT THE SONS OF MEN (including The Prophet Joel, Peter, or any of the other old time Jewish Prophets and Apostles), AS IT IS (NOW) REVEALED UNTO HIS HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS,BY THE SPIRIT (i.e.The Holy Spirit, 3rd Person, Holy Trinity, Comforter). What was that "Mystery"?--THAT THE GENTILES SHOULD BE FELLOWHEIRS,AND OF THE SAME (One) BODY,AND PARTAKERS OF HIS PROMISE IN CHRIST BY THE GOSPEL. WHEREFORE (I) WAS MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD (GIVEN UNTO ME) BY THE EFFECTUAL WORKING OF HIS POWER; (UNTO ME) WHO AM LESS THAN THE LEAST OF ALL SAINTS,IS THIS GRACE GIVEN; (THAT I SHOULD PREACH AMONG THE GENTILES),THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST. AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE; WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF (THE MYSTERY); WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN (HID IN GOD)--i.e. and not "hid in Holy Writ",in the ancient writings of The Prophet Joel,as some would falsely so suggest,e.g. Acts Ch 2.

"THE MYSTERY GOSPEL", first revealed in and through the Apostle Paul, was not that God would again "TURN TO THE GENTILES"; (This was foretold throughout Old Testament epistles--e.g. Isa 6O:3, with Rom 11:25,in context). "THE MYSTERY, HID IN GOD", was that God would temporarily,and transitionally, set National Israel aside,for National blasphemy, at the three points in time and place of Acts 13:46, 18:6 and 28:28; and that He would (simultaneously) then and there, have Paul create "THE CHURCH,WHICH IS CHRIST'S ONE BODY",of Eph 1:22,23, A Body,not composed of (both) saved Jews and saved Gentiles,but A Mysterious Body composed of (neither) Jews nor Gentiles, Bond nor Free, Male nor Female--but "OF THE TWAIN, A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS"--Gal 3:28, Col 3:11,Eph Ch 2.

In this "Mysterious" New Creation,saved Jews and saved Gentiles,would be required to "give up" all former racial, ethnic, social, religious, and gender identity, in order to become--not a "new born babe"--as in Israel's case, John 3:1-8,but "A NEW MAN"--Eph 4:22-24, Gal 6:15, 2 Cor 5:17, Col 3:9-11.

Here again it should be carefully noted,that Paul did not receive his foregoing "Mystery Gospel",at the time of his conversion of Acts Ch 9. At that time, Paul,who was a Christ hating, religious Pharisee, became a Christ accepting convert to Judahism; i.e. became a believer in Christ Jesus, as Israel's prophesied Messiah,e.g. Gen 49:8-1O, Isa 9:6,7, Isa 7:14, Micah 5:2, w/Heb 7:14,in context.

It was not until Acts 13:1-3,that Paul and Barnabas were "SEPARATED" from their ministry of Judahism,and given the three phase, temporary, transitional, task of the setting aside of (National) Israel, for their blasphemous (second rejection)of National Israel's resurrected, ascended,Messiah, i.e. beginning at Jerusalem, Acts 13:46, then at Corinth, Acts 18:6,and (finally), at Acts 28:28.

Somehere, between Paul's conversion to Judahism, at Acts Ch 9,and his foregoing (first) setting aside of National Israel, for National blasphemy, at Acts 13:46, Paul was "CAUGHT UP INTO THE THIRD HEAVEN" (2 Cor 11:1-4),and received His unique "Mystery Gospel" of Eph 3:1-1O, Rom 16:25,26, as a revelation,from Christ Jesus, Gal 1:1,11,12. An event which did not occur until nearly eight years after the events surrounding The (exclusively) Jewish Pentecostal Feast of Acts Ch 2.

Paul's unique two-fold ministry,during the entire period of the (Jewish)epistle of Acts,is described in 1 Cor 9:19-23. When Paul "went to the Jews", he could "act like a Jew",and when Paul "went to the Gentiles", Paul could "act like a Gentile". Failure to note Pual's unique two-fold ministry of the Acts period, has led to much doctrinal, dispensational, error. Luke,wrote Acts,not Paul, and having not received Paul's "Mystery Gospel", Luke could not proclaim it in this epistle. The Gospel order of Acts, was always "TO THE JEWS FIRST", Acts 3:25,26, but carefully note the change in that Gospel order, which occured at Acts 13:46, 18:6, 28:28, where Israel then no longer possesses the priority of receiving, or the priority of proclaiming "the gospel".

Also carefully note, that even though Paul said at those three points in time and place--"LO,WE TURN TO THE GENTILES", that Luke said; that Paul returned immediately to the gospel order of "TO THE JEWS FIRST".

Although Paul brought in "THE MYSTERY GOSPEL",(simultaneously) with thesetting aside of Judahism, at Acts 13:46, 18:6, 28:28, Paul continued his unique task of setting aside National Israel's Judahism during the entire Acts period.

Although Paul "knew" of his new "Mystery Gospel" during that Acts period,Paul did not have time to openly proclaim it, (except in his epistles written during the Acts period, i.e. those of 1st and 2nd Cor, Gal, 1 Thess, 2 Thess, 1 Tim, 2 Tim Romans, Titus, Philemon)--those (Jewish) epistles, written prior to the (final) setting aside of Israel's Judahism, at Act 28:28.

The entire epistle of Acts,is thus not the record of the creation of (our) Mystery Church,of Eph 3:1-1O, Rom 16:25,26,but is solely the record of the three phase "re-offering" of Israel's (resurrected) Messiah,to National Israel, and their three phase refusal to do so, at Acts 13:46, 18:6, 28:28. This, in response to Christ's dying intercessory prayer for National Israel of Luke 23:34, "FATHER,FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO". (See also Acts 3:17 in context). As Israel's Highest Priest,Christ Jesus claimed the Mosaic Law of Ignorance for Israel,of Num 15:28. His prayer "RETURNED INTO HIS OWN BOSOM", Ps 13:15,and Israel was then and there granted a period of Divine Amnesty, i.e.the entire Acts period), in which the (resurrected) Christ Jesus was "re-offered" solely to the Jewish Nation of Israel. Any Gentile saved during the Acts perios was not added to (our) Mystery Church of Eph 3:1-1O, Rom 16:25,26, but was simply made a Jewish convert to Judahism--e.g. Acts 2:1O, Acts 13:43.

Paul, "completed" The Holy Bible, in Eph, Phil, Col (written after Acts 28:28). None may "add to", or "subtract from" it, Rev 22:19,2O.
