\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Page 5<\/span> \u2014 Footnote #8 cites \u201cActs 16:14<\/span>.\u201d This should be \u201cActs 16:4<\/span>\u201d instead.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 23<\/span> \u2014 Footnote #2 references 1 Cor 13:1<\/span>; the actual footnote on page 22 refers, in fact, to 1 Cor 14:1<\/span>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 29<\/span> \u2014 Reference to Luke 2:42<\/span> near the middle of the page<\/span> should be, instead, Acts 2:42<\/span>. <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 29<\/span> \u2014 Reference #6 cites Rom 16:17<\/span> for a reference to \u201cquarreling.\u201d The word does not appear in that verse. Most likely, it is meant to be Rom 13:13, but perhaps Titus 3:2 or 2 Cor 12:20. I probably had in mind Romans 13:13<\/span>, but the previous two references mentioned also contain the word, as do 1 Cor 1:11 and 1 Tim 2:8. 1 Tim 3:3 and 2 Tim 2:24 have \u201cquarrelsome\u201d, while 2 Tim 2:23 and Titus 3:9 mention \u201cquarrels\u201d \u2014 all in a most negative fashion. Clearly, Paul has no patience for quarrels, and considers them to be serious sins. So my point is amply confirmed, though I erred in my lone citation in the book.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 35<\/span> \u2014 Footnotes #6 and #7 are transposed. Footnote #6 should be Acts 10:1-6<\/span> to correspond to the text on pg. 34 (\u201cangel tells Cornelius to ask Peter\u2026\u201d); Footnote #7 should be 2 Peter 1:16\u201321<\/span> to correspond to the text (\u201cPeter authoritatively interprets prophecy\u201d).<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 60-61<\/span> \u2014 Footnote #2 reads [Hebrews<\/span>] <\/span>\u201c14:18\u201d and \u201c16:7\u201d These are not references to the Epistle of Hebrews as indicated; instead, they are Revelation references \u2014 Rev 14:18; 16:7<\/span>. <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 79<\/span> \u2014 Under footnote #5, the reference to 2 John<\/span> should, specifically, be 2 John 8. I probably should have made the cross-reference more specifically to<\/span> 2 John 1:5-8<\/span>, as all those verses have some application to the subject at hand: merit.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Page 81<\/span> \u2014 Footnote #2 is wrong: [<\/span>Galatians<\/span>]<\/span> \u201c10:12\u201d<\/span> cannot refer to Galatians because there are only six chapters in that book. I was mistakenly referring again to 1 Cor 10:12. To follow the method of most of the other adjoining footnotes (staying in the same book), the footnote should have been to<\/span> Galatians 4:9: \u201cbut now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?\u201d<\/span><\/span> Other passages not mentioned here, that <\/span>could<\/span> have been, include <\/span>1 Sam 11:6; 18:11-12; Ezek 18:24; 33:12-13, 18; Col 1:23 (\u201c<\/span>provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard\u201d)<\/span>; and Heb 6:11-12 (\u201c<\/span> show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end\u201d)<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 98<\/span> \u2014 The reference \u201ccf Jn 2:9<\/span>\u201d (Under \u201cWho raised Jesus from the dead?\u201d\u2014Jesus Christ) refers to the wedding feast of Cana. The actual reference should be to John 2:19<\/span>: \u201cJesus answered them, \u2018Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'\u201d <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 101<\/span> \u2014 Under the question toward top of page, \u201cWho is speaking to the Churches in Revelation 2 and 3\u201d\u2013under \u201cJesus Christ\u201d the reference Rev 12:6<\/span> refers to the woman in the wilderness. This was a strange mistake. It should be <\/span>Rev 2:18<\/span>: \u201c. . . The words of the Son of God . . .\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Page 110-111<\/span> \u2014 Footnote #2 refers to Luke 10:29<\/span> as an instance where the word for \u201cbrother\u201d (Gr. adelphos<\/span>) is used, translated in this case as \u201cneighbor\u201d. I find that the actual Greek word used is plesion<\/span>. This was an unfortunate and ultimately erroneous reference because it is not<\/span> adelphos<\/span> in Greek (though at that point in the text I wasn\u2019t yet referring specifically to <\/span>adelphos<\/span>. In any event, <\/span>adelphos<\/span> does indeed have a very wide latitude in meaning, as seen in the instances given in the immediate context. Examples of a use roughly equivalent to \u201cneighbor\u201d are numerous; for example: Matt 5:22-24; 7:3-5; 18:15; Acts 1:16<\/span> (Peter talking to about 120 people); Acts 22:1 <\/span>(Paul addressing the Jewish accusers at his trial); 1 Jn 2:9-11; 3:10, 15; 4:20-21; 5:16<\/span>, etc. <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Likewise with Footnote #6\u2014\u201cdisciples\u201d is indicated to be the Greek word adelphos<\/span>. In fact, however, it is the Greek mathetes<\/span>. This is, unfortunately, true with regard to Matthew 23:1<\/span>, but not for the other two references: Matt 12:49-50 and John 20:17<\/span>. Again, it was a case of my blowing one particular reference but not at all being wrong in the general concept or argument being set forth (which is the far more important consideration). Jesus\u2019 use of \u201cbrethren\u201d or \u201cbrothers\u201d for His own disciples (both the twelve and the larger sense of \u201cfollower\u201d or Christian), is common: Matt 12:48; 23:8; Mk 1:33-35; Lk 22:32.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
