Acts 15:35 — l6:40 - Corps Notes - October 14, 1976
Acts 15:35 — l6:40 October 14, 1976 Acts 15:34 This was not in the text, it was added later. (pg. 279) Acts 15:33 It means after a set time; a deliberately set time. They set the date and said “We’ll stay this long and then we’re going back to Jerusalem.” “let go” – dismissed - same as “dismissed” in verse 30 - “dismissed” - not like being dismissed from a meeting; but that they had a big ‘doo’ for them; a nice farewell party for them. I suppose they had cake and ice cream. I was thinking today that I was going to make an assignment to my Corps that’s going to be doing research papers. I am going to put somebody on the words “other” and “another”; heteros and allos. I’m going to have them work every verse in the Word where they are used. It appears here, again, in verse 35. Acts 15:35 “others” - heteros “Paul also” – “but Paul” – delete the word “also” “with many others also” – they were doing the same thing. There were really “twigging” in that city.

Now here is where the second missionary journey of Paul starts which Walter Cummins taught. I’m only going to go through it, not that I can teach you anything about the second journey, but just some things that I just felt in my heart I want to share. “us” – Paul and Barnabas Acts 15:37 “determined” - literally means “contrary to original” - That is really significant because it was God’s will for Paul and Barnabas to go. But Barnabas was one of these good-hearted fellows. Many times his heart would get ahead of the Word and the greatness of God; he’d get tricked. Yet it was Barnabas that w

whole Research Department. I think our Biblical Research Department is just second to none. And it' s even going to be better by God' s mercy and grace next year and in years to come than it is at this time. And right now I do not believe that our Biblical Research Department needs to take a back seat for any academic institution or work in the world. And I thought today, I have never... I've never thought of Walter Cummins in any other capacity than to be my assistant. I know Vince Finnegan, you know, on the books is my assistant. And that' s great. But I've never thought of Walter Cummins in any other capacity for so many years as always being my assistant. And I think he' s just the most wonderful person that any president could have as his assistant. And also to be chairmen of the Department of Greek, and then the coordinator of the Biblical research of The Way International. For any
