INTRODUCTION

Let us begin with some very basic questions.

Shouldn’t there be just one body of Christian believers? (Eph 4:4-6)

Why are there so many Christian denominations and divisions?

Why is Christianity so divided? Who is dividing us?

When will “we all come in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”? (Eph 4:13)

Is it because Christians have been operating on half the truth; but not all the truth of the Scriptures?

Is it because Christians do not understand the power of deceit that Satan has over humanity and his power over religion?

Is it because we have missed an understanding of what God did at the ending of The Book of Acts concerning Israel and their kingdom?

Is it because God revealed to Paul a hidden secret which Paul exposed in the Bible, but is still a mystery to most Christians?

What in heavens name am I talking about, you ask?

That is why you need to examine the contents of this website and compare them with the written Word of God.

Where do our beliefs come from?

Our beliefs are very, very personal because they come from those we trust and love.

Do they come from family, friends, teachers, pastors, priests, etc?

Is there any possibility they could be not exactly right?

To challenge our own beliefs is one of the most difficult things to do.

Do our beliefs come directly from the source…in this case, the Word(s) of God?

The Bible existed before any Christian religions developed.

The only one who can affect our beliefs (doctrine) is the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.

Shouldn’t a seeker of God’s truth embrace any and all teaching found in the Scriptures?

What is the “meat” of the word as compared to the “milk”? (1 C0 3:2, He 5:12, 13)

What are the deep things of God? (1 Co 2:10)

What is truth and what is tradition?

The Apostle Paul defines “perfection” as running a race to the end and touching the tape.

It sounds like the “perfect man” should be ever changing and forming his beliefs to the teaching of the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures.

John 16:13 says that the Holy Spirit of the truth will guide us into all the truth …and He will show us things to come.

1 Tim 2:3-4: “It is good and acceptable before God our Saviour, who desires that all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

Traditional Christianity seems to have been working heartily on the first part: salvation of all men in Jesus Christ.

Salvation in Jesus Christ is just the beginning, not the be all and end all of the Christian’s life.

So what about the second part?

What about “coming unto the knowledge of the truth”?

What about all the truth the Lord was talking about in John 16:13…and things to come?

It has been said that a half-truth is equivalent to a full lie.

The father of lies can keep us from knowing “all the truth”.

Once a person is saved, he enters the race to learn all the truth about God and His will that he is able to learn.

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12)

We either go on to perfection or draw back to perdition (waste) (Hebrews 6:1; 10:39)

In the end we will either be approved unto God or be ashamed (2 Timothy 2:15).

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path. (Pro 3:5-6)

Have you ever set down to read your mail and unintentionally opened a letter addressed to someone else?

What did you do? Did you read it and apply it to yourself, or did you pass it on to that person with an apology?

This is how we should read the Bible: check the address on the envelope of each writing.

Not all of the Bible is to us or about us.

Most agree that the Old Testament is about Israel; but most of the New Testament is also about Israel and their hope of a restored kingdom on earth.

Have you ever learned that you were named as an heir in someone’s will? No? Well suppose you have.

If you learned that this is the meaning of “predestination”, would you reject the inheritance beacause you didn’t like the word “predestination”?

The Bible is a book about God’s will and His heirs.

“Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made know to us the mystery of His will. (Eph 1:8-9)

Have you ever gotten a very special gift for someone and, in order to magnify the surprise, have hidden the gift in a place sure to be found?

And once the gift is found, have you enjoyed the expression of surprise and joy from that person?

God has hidden a very special hidden treasure in the Scriptures for us to surely find; and once we find it He enjoys our gladness of heart.

That is what this website is about: the hidden gift for the saved believer.

Have you ever seen the 2004 movie “National Treasure”? If you have, shouldn’t we work as diligently to find clues to a hidden treasure in God’s word?

“So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.” (Pro 2:2-5)

The Bible is the greatest mystery thriller ever written. There are many clues hidden throughout it to find the knowledge of God.

Learn about the PRINCIPLE OF RIGHT DIVISION (2 Timothy 2:15) and how to apply it.

Learn about the importance of understanding DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH.

Consider the possibility that the Apostle Paul was given two distinct and separate ministries.

Paul’s first ministry during the Acts period was the dispensation of the grace of God according to the gospel of Christ unto salvation and eternal life…to the unsaved.

Paul’s second ministry was “to make all men (saints) see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God , Who createth all things by Jesus Christ” (Eph 3:9) Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and generations, but now is made manifest to His saints” (Col 1:25-26). This is a gospel about an upward invitation to the saved believer - saint.

This “dispensation of the mystery” (Eph 3:9) is a ‘hid treasure’ (Pro 2:4) of the manifold wisdom of God.

The dispensation of the high calling of the Body of Christ was a secret (mystery) hidden in God until it was revealed to Paul at a time deemed appropriate by God.

It is a very special gift hidden for His beloved to now find.

Before God could reveal this secret He had to put Israel on hold; in a big “time out”; in a temporary suspension called “Lo-Ammi” (Hosea 1:9) at the end of The Book of Acts.

As soon as this revelation of the mystery was given to Paul, Satan also learned about it.

Satan’s immediate reaction was to find ways to keep the saints and faithful from ever discovering this truth: this hidden treasure.

This is clearly evident by Paul’s pronouncements that churches and his companions were being turned away from him in his last Epistle, 2 Timothy.

Satan immediately steered Christianity in a different direction and is still deceiving the saints and faithful today; still promoting the suspended gospel of the Israel’s kingdom to the saved.

Satan is the enemy of the truth and the master of deception.

Satan has effectively kept believers from knowing what happened at the end of the Book of Acts: the second half of all the truth.

Satan knows that a half-truth is as effective as a full lie.

If he can keep believers in Christ from learning all the truth, then he has accomplished his purpose.

If he can keep believers from learning the dispensation of the mystery of the high calling of the Body of Christ, he can rob you of greater blessings and rewards.

“The truth shall make you free” (John 8:32); but Satan uses “religion” which means to bind again.

Many are bound to a religious doctrine or creed and won’t go any further; like a goat tied to a tether.

For it is good and acceptable before God our Saviour, Who desires that all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1Tim 2:3-4)

Paul’s superlative gospel is the glorious enhancement to John’s gospel of salvation.

John’s Gospel is the unbeliever’s way to salvation in Christ today.

Paul’s superlative gospel is the calling out of the Body of Christ from among the saved.

Paul’s superlative gospel is the “all-truth” and the “things to come” after salvation in Christ.

It is the truth that completes the word of God. (Col 1:25)

It is the second step in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 necessary to satisfy God’s desire.

This dispensational invitation is for those who God chose to receive it.

It is a special gift with every blessing that is spiritual (Eph 1:3).

The verses 2 Timothy 3:16, Philippians 1:10, 2 Timothy 2:15, Acts 28:28, and 1 Timothy 2:3-4 are clues that lead to the hidden treasure. (see NaasNotes tab)

Originally the inspired word of God was written in 49 (7 X 7) scrolls, which man has separated into 66 books of our Bible (“Bible” means “The Books”).

Just because we now have 66 inspired writings bound in one volume (by man) does not mean that it all applies to everybody universally.

All of the Bible is for us, but not all the Bible is to us or about us.

Only eight books of the New Testament are to and about Gentile believers today.

The rest of the Bible is about God’s Israel: their past and their future.

The Body of Christ is a distinct and separate called-out company and is only a temporary dispensation in God’s plan.

John’s Gospel of salvation to the world and Paul’s seven post-Acts epistles are applicable for us today and should be our Biblical focus as truth for today.

“Who desires that all men (whosoever) be saved (John’s Gospel) and come unto the knowledge of the truth (Paul’s post-Acts superlative gospel)”

What is truly missing is the understanding of what happened at the end of The Acts (At the end of the Book of Acts).

There is a great dividing line at the end of The Acts that changes how we understand the Bible and God’s purpose of the ages.

God made a major paradigm shift at the end of the Acts that Christendom has failed to see.

God temporarily set aside Israel, including their covenants, their kingdom gospel, their calling and hope, their ordinances, and their promises because of their unbelief.

God has a revealed plan to offer salvation to all nations alike and to call out His chosen Body of Christ before He resumes His dealings with Israel again.

The Apostle Paul wrote the most in the New Testament and wrote the last seven books of the Bible, which were to complete the word of God. (Col 1:25)

Without Paul’s second set of seven epistles, there still remains a complete Bible for Israel and their hope of a restored kingdom on earth.

But without Paul’s last seven epistles, there is no hope for the salvation of all nations and the called-out Body of Christ.

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves (resist); if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” (2 Tim 2: 24-26)
