[bb to mm] I agree with you there.

Last time I checked the mysteries were revealed only to the disciples. But, wait, that's what Jesus is quoted as saying. Of course, Paul overrules him. :)

I find it interesting that we were told the Greek meaning for "sacrament" yet nowhere in Scripture is that word ever even used. I looked at the Douay-Rheims as well, in case anyone wonders

So, what are you saying? That the Greeks don't call sacraments mysteries (or secrets)? Are you going to tell them that calling sin missing the mark (hamartia) is also "wrong?"

Laying on of the hands, for example is considered a mysterion, a secret, a sacrament, which is mentioned in the Bible without explicitly calling it a mysterion.

But if you share mm's opinion on this, then you too must believe you know everything there is to know.

Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”

“Did God really say......?”

The oldest line in the book and the oldest tactic used by Satan; destroying the credibility of God and His Word.
