Yeah I STRONGLY disagree with that. It is meant to be crystal clear, if not why even bother trying to prove it?
The idea that it's a hidden truth is to me gnostic. It is reminiscent of mystery religions.

The definition of "mystery"
hidden thing, secret, mystery
So if that classifies Christianity as a "mystery" religon so be it.
Jesus spoke in parables so the average guy would not understand.
Then those who stayed with him he would give them the meaning.
3:16 And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1 Tim. 3:16
What do you know... the very thing were talking about (who Jesus is) is a HIDDEN TRUTH.
