CORRECTIONS TO MY STATEMENTS AT THE 8-6-23 CLASS
>> From 1:02:22 Bill asked “So that’s a little confusing … he would not be considered the one that was writing it down but considered to be the one that was saying it? He was trying to avoid attribution as the one who was actually speaking?” My response “Yes, exactly” was directed towards the first way he framed his question but would be erroneous in response to the second way he framed his question. The point I was making is that Peter didn’t mind being recognized as the one who was speaking but wanted to make sure that everyone understood he was not the one who wrote it.

>> From 1:20:35 with regards to Mark 1:4 I said “although the Torah and some of the prophets agree with John the Baptist, the Second Temple Period Jewish religious leaders would have said that John was utterly out of his mind because change of mind absolutely can not bring the remission of sins. They would have said that only the death of the right type of animal, sacrificed in the proper way according to the Torah, at the one designated place, by the official Jewish priests can bring the remission of sins.” This should have been “although some parts of the Torah from J, E, and D documents, and some of the prophets agree with John the Baptist, the Second Temple Period Jewish religious leaders would have said that John was utterly out of his mind because change of mind absolutely can not bring the remission of sins. They would have said that only the death of the right type of animal, sacrificed in the proper way according to the priestly (P document) content of the Torah, at the one designated place, by the official Jewish priests can bring the remission of sins.”

>> From 1:24:18 to 1:25:48 I discussed how the Gospel of John sheds light on Peter’s knowledge of John the Baptist. I said “Definitely it says Peter, his brother Andrew, and Philip” knew the Baptist, and that if the other (unnamed) disciple of John was John bar-Zebedee then that made four, and if James Bar-Zebedee accompanied his brother John then that made five. What I neglected to mention is that the Gospel of John says that Nathanael was also there. If the identification of the man named Nathanael with the apostle with surname Bartholomew is correct, then in fact there were at least four (not three) and maybe as many as six (not five) of the twelve apostles who had known the Baptist.

>> At 1:40:33 my statement “… but I don’t think we can ever make it [the Holy Spirit] our only authority” was not really an accurate statement of my belief. A more accurate statement would have been that hearing individual inner guidance is not the only source of guidance.
