I once had a list of 52 or so such instances of Paul's kabbalism. Interesting, considering Paul's place in the Jewish hierarchy of the day, perhaps he was knowledgable about Kabbala. However, Paul was also clear that God is not a God of confusion and that the mysteries of God have been revealed. There is no place for esotericism in the worship of God, for God has made himself plainly known in His Word. Paul may have known about jewish mysticism, but he never advocated it in any of his writings.

He also said, what you have seen in secret, what you have heard whispered in the ear, that shout from the housetops. What had been esoteric or private, he was all in favour of making Public.
Too bad he didn't have the Internet, but then he has me to put it up here for him.
