I am curious as to why you use the term mystery so much? Reminds me of the Catholic church which I left. The Bible is pretty readable.
To me, Mystery is just a way to say that you don’t have an explanation for it. I don’t find too many mysteries in the Bible. Is this a Catholic site?

Dear Jose,
God Bless you, and thank you for writing. We use the word Mystery because that is our ministry. That is not to say it is because our ministry is hard to understand or difficult to find out. The word Mystery can also be translated Secret (which is its meaning in Greek), and once a secret is revealed it is easy to understand. There are many ministries in the world today, but this is the one we have been called to:
Eph 3:9 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, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Most Christians today are not aware of this great Secret or don't really understand what it means, and yet God wants:
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Only those who believe God can please Him, and God wants us to see and believe The Truth of The Mystery.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Look closely; it says His Body, not His Bride or His Wife, as so many teach, and no, The Body is not the Bride nor the Bride His Body, for that teaching is not Scriptural and is a different kind of mystery. Only those who believe what God has written can:
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Now, ALL that call upon the Name of The Lord are saved, but only those who believe what God has written as doctrine for The Church today have every Blessing that is Spiritual in The Heavenly Places.
All God's Blessings,
The Believers
