1 | Shout to the (r)Rock of our salvation? | Ps 95:3 | Rowdy | 122933 | ||
From your post: But in "working out" my salvation and my faith system, I know that there was no strange god that came to earth. This Jesus was not just a man. He came as light but was the Light of the world. He is our rock, our refuge, our stronghold; but He is also our Rock. Which version do you go with? Does it matter? Are not both of them correct, rock and Rock? My answer: As I've stated a couple of times, anytime we (in my opinion) refer to one of the Godhead as you've done, I would suggest capitalizing so I would not only capitalize Rock. I would've included "our Refuge, our Stronghold." I'm afraid I can't recall a specific verse commanding this practice. Indeed apparently the Hebrew and Greek language didn't even allow for such practice as capitalizing but it's an English language thing. But in accordance with our understanding the reverence due to our Father, I do it whenever possible. If in doubt, I'd suggest going ahead and capitalizing it, just to be safe. God bless. --Rowdy |

2 | Shout to the (r)Rock of our salvation? | Ps 95:3 | Ray | 122942 | ||
Hi Rowdy, I agree that we would do well to think of words like refuge and stronghold as capitalized. In the same way, when reading from the King James, we have to think of Deity when we read of "him". For my particular study, and as far as "counting" those words I do not find it always that obvious or compelling. 1) You wrote about references of (o)One of the Godhead. You would be interested in studying the occurances of "Godhead" in the KJ in contrast to the Divine Nature and the divine nature in the NASB. Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, and Colossians 2:9. It is enjoyable for me to be talking with you. From the heart, Ray |
