TYMK - Systematic theology God's way
Systematic theology is a discussion of Biblical topics and includes many topics. [1] The problem with systematic theology is that some man selects the topics to discuss and collects the scriptures concerning those topics in order to support his theological position. Since many of the presuppositions come from Greek philosophy, that philosophy is imposed upon the interpretation of scripture. To observe this, one need only to read a systematic theology from each of the divergent branches of the church.
You may KNOW
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, and as stated before; their consistent use will be sufficient proof that human invention is impossible.
