How Can You Say Jesus Wasn't Talking to Me?

Please take the time to read these verses before reading the text below:

Romans 15:8
Romans 9:5
Matthew 10:5-6
Matthew 15:24
John 1:11

All of these verses illustrate who Jesus was sent to "in His EARTHLY ministry."

This is the whole purpose of me always talking about the "mystery."

The mystery explains how God is directly with everyone today,  and not just Israel. The mystery (salvation to Jews and Gentiles alike- by grace through faith) was not known until is was revealed. This revealing does not take place until at least Acts 9, via the Lord Himself to the Apostle Paul.

Look at 1 Timothy 1:16.... What does this verse mean. Read Ephesians 3:3-6... What does this mean?

This is the whole reason for me saying that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John do not contain information that applies to the Body of Christ. The Church, the Body of Christ,  did not even exist yet, except for in God's "hidden" purpose.

Romans 16:25
"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,"

2 Timothy 2:15 & 3:16- All scripture is for us, but not all scripture is to us.

1 Thessalonians 2:13- Jesus did speak to you friend, just not all of His dialogue to you is in the color "red."

Ephesians 3:9- Paul had a goal set before him, whereas many today do not even acknowledge the "fellowship of the mystery. "

Bible Study Prep Questions:
Who's the speaker?
Who's the audience?
What's the content?
Does it apply to the church in the dispensation of grace?
