1 | Love God, His word, any difference? | Ps 95:10 | kalos | 153332 | ||
WHY should we all be players in the upper-case/lower-case game? Moses wasn't. David wasn't. Isaiah wasn't. Daniel wasn't. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter and Paul weren't. So WHY should we be? | ||||||
2 | Love God, His word, any difference? | Ps 95:10 | Ray | 153474 | ||
Hi Kalos, The Scripture reference for this thread has David saying in Psalm 95:6, "Come let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, 7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand." And yet verse 10 says that people err in their heart, and they do not know His ways. David asks his listeners to listen to His voice and not harden their hearts. What I am asking people to do is to make sure that at least in their hearts if not in their capitalization, they be aware of God's voice when they test Him and try Him, and see His work. If one is a reader of the King James, their job of distinguishing between the voice of David and the voice of God is more difficult. For that reason I recommend the NKJ and the NASB which give the reader a head start in interpretting the things of God. 1) Even these translations that capitalize nouns and pronouns of Deity differ in their interpretations and we need to make these decisions ourselves. But we need to be players in this decision game and we should be glad in hearing Him. Mark 12:37 says after the discussion about the Son of David, that the great crowd enjoyed listening to Him. [The NKJ and the KJ say that "the common people heard Him gladly." I don't see where they got that from the Greek that I have at my fingertips. But I do think that that rendering gives the idea that you don't need to be a Greek scholar to hear and understand these things about capitalization and interpretation. Even the common people and the huge crowd heard Him gladly.] 2) Matthew 22:41, "Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, Matthew 22:42, "saying, "What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, "The son of David." Matthew 22:42, NKJ, "saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The Son of David." ****** Matthew 22:45, NASB, "If David then calls Him, "Lord," then how is He his son?" Matthew 22:45, NKJ, "If David then calls Him 'Lord', how is He his Son?" 3) Is this a silly upper-case/lower case game or is it important for us to know the Son of David? Matthew 21:9, NKJ, "Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21:9, NASB, "and the multitudes going before Him, and those who followed after were crying out, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!"
