Hi Ben,

  You make a good point with Gal 1:6-7 in regards to the comparison of ALLOS 
and hETEROS. I also call your attention to 2 Cor 11:4 where Paul speaks of 
ALLON IHSOUN, PNEUMA hETERON and EUAGGELION hETERON. The AV or KJV 
translates ALLOS and hETEROS in this passage as simply "another". If ALLOS 
can mean "one of the same kind", and hETEROS can mean "one of a different 
kind". how does this relate to the passage in 1Cor 11:4? Just thinking. 
Best,

                                                 Tony Costa
