“The First Core Doctrine: One Undivided Divine Source. Every biblical tension is rooted in the one, whole, and undivided God. The Second Core Doctrine: The Wholeness and Tension-Filled Structure of Divine Revelation. God’s complete revelation must be held together as a whole and received according to Scripture’s own tension-filled structure.” — Dr. Michael King
“Because all things are from God, through God, and to God, the creature is never autonomous but always dependent. Therefore, the faithful human posture is to receive God-revealed reality, trust His Word, live within His order, depend upon His provision, and respond to His grace in obedient faith.” —- Dr. Michael King
“Biblical Tension Theology holds that many biblical truths must be understood as the ordered coexistence of two irreducible poles which are not always predicated in the same dimension, mode, category, or respect. For that reason, their coexistence does not constitute a formal contradiction, even though it may surpass reductive human logic. Some tensions involve undiminished fullness on both sides; others involve asymmetrical relations, distinct causal orders, redemptive-historical phases, or source-and-reception structures. Thus, the task of theology is not to collapse one pole into the other, nor to separate them into unrelated compartments, but to preserve both their distinction and their inseparable relation within the unity of divine revelation.” —- Dr. Michael King

II. The Creator–Creature Distinction
III. One Theocentric Order
IV. The Heaven–Earth Structure of Biblical Revelation
V. The Spatial-Historical Unfolding of the Theocentric Order
**VI. Coexisting Canonical Truths *(*Dual-Line Coexisting Biblical Truths)
VII. The Canonical Logic of Holding Truths Together
The Sevenfold Theocentric Architecture of Biblical Revelation traces the movement from the identity of God, through the Creator–creature order and the heaven–earth structure of revelation, into the historical manifestation of divine truth, and finally to the canonical and hermeneutical necessity of holding together all that Scripture jointly affirms.
