To: The Iceman Cometh

“Well, my Bible does show it as 2 (Two) Corinthians and not Second Corinthians.”

That’s a shorthand, an abbreviation. If you turn to the first page of that book, I’m sure you’ll see the actual title. Nobody refers to it, when speaking, as “2 Corinthians”, because that is exclusively a written shorthand.

Similarly, if I was speaking, I wouldn’t say “Rev 20”, I would say “Revelations, chapter 20”.

That's funny there. There isn't a "Revelations 20" in the Bible. There isn't a "Revelations" anything. Some people think the book of Revelation is about the revelations of things to come. Unless you actually read it. It is a book about a single revelation, the revelation of Jesus Christ. The title of the book is actually named in the first chapter. " The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
