“Error comes when we define ‘intention’ as the author’s primary intention, if we then proceed to exclude on principle any other meaning from the text.” (Volume 20, Number 3, Page 246)
“Parapiptō means ‘fall beside,’ ‘fall,’ not ‘fall away (from)’ (TDNT 6, 171). It is therefore not the most appropriate word to express complete turning away from Christ.” (Volume 20, Number 4, Page 371)
“it is fallacious to assume that meaning always ought to be equated with the author’s intention.” (Volume 20, Number 3, Page 246)
“text must be considered in the light of its total context, literary and historical” (Volume 20, Number 3, Page 241)
