“Then Job repented of his misconception of God, not of any alleged sin on which his three friends had focused.” (Page 447)
“God affirmed His justice without defending or explaining it. God said, in essence, that He is and always will be just and fair to His creatures. God alone—not Job, nor the three friends, and certainly not Satan—administers and regulates justice.” (Pages 446–447)
“However, the nature of the sin may disqualify the leader from functioning as an elder, even though he has been forgiven.” (Page 339)
“At the same time, the rebuke would publicly identify the sinning elder as no longer worthy of the office of eldership.” (Page 343)
“Second, if the one being restrained has the power of Satan (2 Thess. 2:9), then it would take the omnipotent power of God to restrain him. Third, this interpretation gives the most vivid force to the change in gender of the participles. The first participle (τὸ κατέχον) conforms to the gender of πνεῦμα. The second participle ὁ κατέχων confirms the personality of the Holy Spirit by ad sensum agreement.” (Page 330)
