“Those advocating this view affirm that Paul was addressing perverted homosexuality, either as unnatural homosexuality by heterosexuals, homosexuality combined with idolatry or with temple prostitution, or pederasty (men having relations with boys).” (Page 329)
“The messianic title ‘Son of David’ appears in three groups of passages in the Gospels. It occurs in connection with various healings by Jesus (Matt. 9:27; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30–31; Mark 10:47–48; Luke 18:38–39), in the crowd’s praise of Jesus at His entry into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:9, 15; Mark 11:10), and in connection with the religious leaders’ harassment of Jesus (Matt. 22:42–43, 45; Mark 12:35, 37; Luke 20:41, 44).” (Page 460)
“The motto of the book is found in 1:7 and 9:10 (‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge/wisdom’)” (Page 154)
“It is better to see these tests serving both purposes as well as enabling the discerning Christian to identify false teachers who also professed faith. Rather than tests to be administered to oneself, they were given by John to be administered to others who approached the community of faith. In this light the tests did more than produce assurance of salvation or demonstrate fellowship. They also served as standards by which men’s teachings can be measured to identify whether they are servants of God or of Satan.” (Page 100)
“The high priest is selected ‘from among men’ (v. 1), and cannot take this honor on himself. He must be ‘called by God’ (v. 4), and in fact even Jesus ‘was designated by God as a high priest’ (v. 10). The appeal is to the election of Jesus as ‘a priest forever’ (v. 6).” (Page 52)
