Hello there,
I believe the letters written to the Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon to contain the truth concerning the administration of which Paul was chosen to be Steward, and the subject of the revelation he received whilst in prison following Acts 28.
Romans contains the foundational truth upon which these books rest, especially that found in Romans 5:12 - 8:39, and our identification with Christ.
The truth of the mystery of Christ was the subject of Old Testament prophecy, but the truth regarding, 'The Mystery', had been His in God, and not made known until revealed to Paul while in prison, following the laying aside (temporarily) of the nation of Israel in unbelief at Acts 28, following the quotation from Isaiah 6 by Paul.
This has been expressed simplistically, and without Scriptural references, because I am using a kindle at present, which is limiting.
I simply wish to open up a dialogue, to find out where others stand on these things.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
