The New Testament was written by Hebrew men <ref>.. with few exceptions.</ref> who witnessed the life of Jesus and recorded some of the things that Jesus did that fulfilled the prophecy of the Old Testament. The things they recorded were recorded specifically to show that he fulfilled prophecy. Each action and teaching is prophesied in the Old Testament scriptures.  The Greek church cannot see all the prophecies because they are hidden in prophetic riddle discerned by reading and thinking like a Hebrew. Lacking these abilities, the Greeks can only read the scriptures literally. All attempts to do otherwise collapse under the contradictory weight of free-for-all allegory. Since Greek expositors use Greek rhetorical invention, they can make the scriptures mean what they wish, and there is no authority to contradict them.  The letters of the New Testament are a collection of how the church put the teaching of Christ into practice. The books of Romans and Hebrews are systematic presentations of Hebrew theology written in the form of letters to the Greek Church and the Hebrew church.
