Important Update Regarding the Notes For Lesson 137
These notes have been revised twice since this lesson was taught on Sunday, February 21, 2021, at Grace Life Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. On Tuesday, February 23 citations from the pens of Gerald Hammond (p. 3) and Peter Ruckman (p. 4) were added to these notes, these quotes were read audibly during the teaching of the lesson but were not part of the original written notes. They were revised a second time on Friday, February 26 considering feedback from Pastor Richard Jordan. In the original teaching of the Lesson, I noted Brother Jordan’s assertion in the transcribed notes from Grace School of the Bible (MS 103 Lesson 7) that Rule 1 was “largely ignored in practice” by the King James translators in favor of Rule 14 (see the citation on page 2). I stated in the original teaching of the lesson that I had reached out to Brother Jordan for information as to the basis of his statements. In the meantime, before I heard back from him, I presented Hammond and Ruckman as two possibilities for where Brother Jordan could have come by that understanding. It turns out that my speculations were wrong and needed to be corrected. Brother Jordan’s statements were not based upon Hammond and/or Ruckman but upon Olga S. Opfell’s 1982 work The King James Bible Translators. I should have known this as earlier in MS 103 Lesson 7 Pastor Jordan mentioned his utilization of Opfell’s work in the teaching of the Lesson. Therefore, I apologize to Pastor Jordan for “tagging” him with Ruckman on this point. Consequently, the notes were revised a second time to clear up any connection between Ruckman and Brother Jordan on this matter.
