May your heart burn...

May your heart burn

...as the scriptures are opened.

I was listening to Alistair Begg on the radio speak of the encounter on the road to Emmaus. He emphasized that it is not by clever preaching, not by intellect that we understand the scriptures, particularity the mystery [1] hidden until after the cross, but it is by the Spirit of God opening our eyes to them.
  1. What is the mystery that was hidden? (UC)
Many wish that they had the sermon from that encounter on the road, not realizing that it is right in front of them in the Gospels. [1]
  1. Gospels are the sermon on the road
Like many, I had been given the impression through the church, that the New Testament was filled with new teachings. Though this is partially true in one sense, the new teachings are a commentary on the mystery hidden in the old; the new teaching was taught from the beginning but not understood until the cross. [1] [2]
  1. Gospels are the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
  2. Keys to the kingdom
Even Paul's doctrines were checked against the Old Testament by the Bereans. [1] [2]
  1. Paul taught from the OT
  2. Ac 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
No one in that day would have accepted a teaching that began "I have a special revelation and new doctrine from God." [1] Nor should we accept that today. We should pray that our eyes be opened to the new teaching in the old teaching.
  1. De 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
I have wrestled with how to share the sermon from the road. I have attempted tedious proofs, and explanations. But Alistair convinced me that all my proofs, though valid and appropriate for some audiences, are for naught in the conversion of the soul. [1]
  1. 1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

There is so much animosity against the mystery teaching of Christ, and some of it rightly so because of gross abuses [1], that a small defense for this work is necessary in sharing the boundaries of this 'eye opening' hermeneutic. Without explaining how free-for-all allegory is eliminated, many will claim that these teachings are nothing but more free-for-all allegory. Many will likely claim this also because of their laziness in applying the rules.

  1. Free-for-all allegory is used by many to 'expound' the mysteries, or hidden teachings of Jesus, claiming that Jesus was a Gnostic or Kabbalist. This is all nonsense.
Chapter 1 will share the rules which prevent free-for-all allegory. Some will read it and say that the rules are impossible to meet. Exactly so. No man-made system could impose meaning on the scripture and adhere to the rules. Because of the rules, the meaning is self-correcting, verifiable and reproducible. The rules change Bible debate into Bible collaboration. MYHB Ch1 - Rules
After that, the Bible will be opened for those who can see. MYHB Ch2 - Teaching

MYHB Ch3 - Cross

Proofs may be added into an appendix for those who cannot see. I pray that your heart may burn. MYHB Appendices
