What is the new body of truth being revealed through Paul that had never been mooted before?
The new body of truth revealed through Paul concerns the Gentile body of Christ, the Holy Spirit's indwelling of individual believers, and Christ's blood atoning for the sins of the whole world—truths absent from Christ's earthly ministry and not stated until Paul.
Les explains that Philippians, written to a Gentile congregation, speaks of approving things that are “different,” as different as night and day. With the same God, a whole new body of truth is revealed that had never been mooted before. Nothing in Christ's earthly ministry spoke of a Gentile body of Christ, the Holy Spirit indwelling individual believers, or Christ's blood atoning for all the sins of the whole world. Such truths were latent earlier in language, but they were not stated until Paul.
