W. W. Prescott and the 1911 Edition of The Great Controversy
104. Page 690
(General Notes) In Note 13, it is stated that the terms “mark” and “sign” “are used in the Scriptures as synonymous with seal, as in Romans 4:11.” WWPGC 36.9
I am unable to see that “sign” and “seal” are used synonymously in Romans 4:11. It is true that the sign of circumcision is called a seal of righteousness, but that does not make the two words synonymous. WWPGC 36.10
Response: Criticism observed. The decision to eliminate the General Notes, removes these from consideration in the 1911 edition. WWPGC 37.1
