Vital theories from God's Word: The One Author Theory and the One Ruler Theory

Update: I no longer agree much with this text. For the reasons, please see my articles on the ongoing power of Babylon and the Beasts of Revelation (at christrescues.substack.com), and my Translator's Preface to The Christ Family Bible.

If one reads the whole Holy Bible (all 77 books), or at least all the 27 books of the New Testament, two central theories or "ways of seeing reality" (the meaning of the word theory) are clear:

The One Ruler Theory
After Christ's death and resurrection, all authority on earth and in heaven is unified. There is one governor now. (Previously, there were two main rulers: God and "the prince of this world", the Devil.)

The One Author Theory
The Holy Bible has one author, God's Holy Spirit. (That's not to say that every word in the surviving manuscripts is authentic.)

As a Bible translator and interpreter, I have found that the One Author Theory has been wonderfully fruitful in "seeing" excellent, perfect solutions to translation problems. My hope, in proposing the One Ruler Theory for consideration, is that it will enjoy similar fruitfulness for people who consider it seriously.
