The 2nd Book

Two books [∞] File:2ndbook.mp4 The Bible is written as two books. "Two books" does not refer to the Old and New Testaments, but to the literal record and the "mystery hidden from the beginning" within it. Normally we say that the Bible has 66 books. This refers to writings by men. When scholars read the Bible, they attempt to interpret the human author's intent for writing. The second book was written by God by embedding symbols of the cross in the literal writings of men. The meaning of the symbols was not made known until after the cross.
The invisible God https://2ndbook.org/w/images/6/62/PP_GOD_The_invisible_God.mp4 Discussion We are like fish swimming in a stream. We do what we do while God, like the stream, nudges us where he wills. We are in him , and we do not see him. His work is often so subtle we are unaware of his presence and nudging. Since we cannot see or hear him ; how can he make himself known? He causes the fish to write a book about fish history. This is our literal Bible. Within it he writes a second book; a mystery, hidden from the beginning. He makes himself known through the mystery book in prophetic riddle.
The mystery book - prophetic riddle Discussion God caused the fish to write a book about fish history; the literal Bible, and hid another book inside. He nudged them to write the hidden book, using childish riddles , using the same words as the literal history. They were unaware of it. He told Israel that their literal history would be a proverb or parable to the nations. Their literal history would write a second book.
This site is dedicated to reading the second book.

Systematic theology [∞] Systematic theologies are men's attempt to formulate orderly, rational, and coherent accounts of the teachings of the Bible. They immediately go off-course being influenced by church history and historical theology; that is... tradition. The academic practice of determining a systematic theology is also influenced by the academic disciplines of dogmatics, ethics, apologetics, and philosophy. It is thoroughly steeped in the works and rationale of men. How is a systematic theology derived which is absent these influences? The interpretive methods taught by the apostles have no room for human invention, merely observation of self-validating teachings. The rules guiding these observations have been hinted at previously, and will be examined more closely in future discussions. They can be seen in the Rules . What is left to the interpreter in forming a systematic theology? Merely to organize it and explain the observations so they may be reproduced. This we will endeavor to do. If we will know what God intends to make known we must start with what he says. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet create the meaning of the words in scripture. The words create the meaning that God intended. Each letter is a metaphor whose meaning is a topic for God's systematic theology. As we observe the explosion of the letter meaning into word meanings and then into theology, it will be apparent that knowledge of the cross is required to discern it. The cross is the key to interpreting God's intended meaning in the letters, words and doctrine. Formal proofs of the meanings become tedious to read; their consistent use will be sufficient proof that human invention is impossible.
