“One great aid in determining the target of the warning passages is the eschatology in these passages. In other words, do the passages threaten loss of reward or the missing of salvation? If the former is correct, the paragraphs in question are addressed to believers; if on the other hand the eschatology deals with eternal damnation or eternal salvation, the passages are aimed at professing believers.” (Volume 3, Number 1, Page 65)
“Although ἐκ may have the basic idea ‘out from within,’ when it is combined with τηρέω it can only mean out and the idea of emergence is not involved. So τηρέω ἐκ in Rev 3:10 cannot describe two actions ‘to keep in and eventually emerge,’ but one action, ‘to keep out.’” (Volume 3, Number 1, Page 24)
“Hillel interpreted the words עֶרְוַת־דָּבָר in Deut 24:1 more leniently by disjoining the words and making them read ‘uncleanness, or anything else.’ Naturally this interpretation, like the evangelical Protestant view today, enjoyed more popularity than that advanced by the more strict school of Shammai, which allowed divorce only for some immodesty, shamelessness, lewdness, or adultery. By asking the Lord to take sides on this question, the Pharisees hoped to lessen his popularity with the people, whichever side he took.” (Volume 3, Number 2, Page 183)
“However, the disciples’ reaction to the Lord’s teaching when the exception was included (Matt 19:10) was not the kind one would expect if they understood the exception to mean immorality in general, for they were greatly startled by his teaching. They evidently thought he was teaching the indissolubility of marriage so clearly that they suggested it might be wiser not to marry at all.” (Volume 3, Number 2, Page 183)
