 Though the Greek church quickly forgot much, what they retained was sufficient to lead men to Christ. The doctrines of Evangelical Christianity are generally true but understood in a childish way. Their inability to explain scripture results in apparent contradictions and much effort to explain them away. It is insufficient to answer important core issues, which are merely dismissed as not being important solely based on the fact that they do not have an answer.
-Because Greeks do not have a way to discern truth in the cacophony or noisse of theological debate, many will judge this work based on what they personally think to be true, or parrot as true, rather than examine the claims for what they are. Consequently, many will declare any who do mot mirror their beliefs to be heretics. I prefer to let the Bible speak even in learning HOW to read it.

 Be assured that the scriptures primary purpose is to make the Father known through the teaching and works of the Son. The cross was the culmination of that revelation as Jesus declared "It is finished!". This work will help the reader to see that more clearly in the prophetic riddles or proper genre of the Old Testament.

 The New Testament authors attempted to teach the Greeks (gentiles) how to read the Old Testament like Hebrews. <ref>[[Mt 13:52]] Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.</ref>
-The gospels were written in the order of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. They were likely written approximate 10 or more years apart. Skeptic scoff at the differences between the accounts of the authors as though it proves the Bible to be fraudulent. But the scoffers learned from the Greek church. With time, the apostles became more proficient in discovering and discerning the prophetic riddles of Christ. <ref>[[2Ti 2:15]] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.</ref> Each shares what he had learned in order to pass the method of interpretation on to others.<ref>[[2Ti 2:2]] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.</ref>

 By studying the difference between the gospels, and the source documents in the Old Testament, the skills used to interpret the scriptures can be discerned.

 With the foundation of the cross, as preached by Paul, the Hebrew church only imposed a few behavioral things as reminders of the dual nature of the scriptures.  In the Old Testament, the literal historical record is also always a prophetic riddle of Christ. These rules were not imposed from a moral imperative, since the dietary laws had been abolished by God, but as symbols of the churches relationship with Christ. <ref>[[Ac 15:20]] But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.</ref>
-Since the Greeks were not required to keep the Hebrew law, with time, they lost an interest in even studying it. Their focus on Christ and him crucified was sufficient to lead people to salvation. But it did not take long for the Greek philosophy to infiltrate the church. The King of heaven Zeus was replaced with the Queen of heaven and Mother of God, Mary. The pantheon of lessor gods was replaces with a hierarchy of heavenly beings and dead saints.
+Since the Greeks were not required to keep the Hebrew law, with time, they lost the ability to understand it as the Hebrews did. Though many saw hints of the prophetic riddles, the only tool they had to interpret them was Greek style free-for-all allegory. This allegory caused such confusion that the church imposed a Catechism and a literalistic methodology for interpretation. The Old Testament had been reduced to a mere history of Israel, rather than a a rich prophecy of Christ. Many lost an interest in even studying it.

 Unfortunately, the Greeks did not wish to become Jewish, nor learn to read and think like Hebrews. When introducing the gospel to the Greeks, Paul chose to preach only the cross.<ref>[[1Co 2:2]] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.</ref>

 Some 'scholars' would have us believe that that God did not speak to men, but that men evolved languages from early caveman grunts. Hebrew is a language unlike any other. The strokes of the letters have meaning which combine into the meaning of letters, which again combine into meaningful words. These words have not only have literal meaning but also consistent metaphoric meaning as they are used in scripture. This consistency produces a tapestry, a web, a puzzle much like a crossword puzzle, which the meaning is locked and validated by its consistent use everywhere by every human author of the Bible. They speak of something which the human authors could have no knowledge of, and which was intentionally kept from them; the cross of Christ.
-Some 'scholars' would have us believe that the Hebrew alphabet letters where invented in Syria while the Hebrews were captive there, and that the Hebrews wrote their most sacred scriptures in the language of their enemies. This is laughable on its face. It is as patently ridiculous as the Mormon belief that Jewish American Indians wrote their sacred scriptures in Reformed Egyptian, the language of their enemies, the Egyptians from whose bondage they escaped. Has the Gentile church gone mad?

 Some 'scholars' claim that the common Hebrew script (known as paleo-Hebrew) is the most ancient form. This is an subtle attempt to discredit the scriptures as being revealed from God.
