The fact that Christ died for our sins was a mystery 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 KJV. How do I know this? First of all, 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 KJV tells us had the princes of this world known that fact, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory! God knew that and hid it. It's the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery. Simple. Just believe it.
Paul's my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery was "kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest,..."!
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,
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
And what is Paul's gospel? Paul declares it here:
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
If it was "kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest,..."(and it was) then it wasn't preached as the good news before that!
Simple Just believe it.
Wrong.
