1 | Capitals? What was your question Ray? | Is 9:6 | Searcher56 | 6309 | ||
Capitalization is not in the orginial text. Transaltions vary on if the captialize a name/ attribute of God. Christ was both fully human and fully God. |

Yes, this is where we can find agreement: That Christ was both fully human and fully God. Praise the Lord that we have a High Priest that is able to relate to and understand all of our sufferings! I'm willing to look at specific passages with you in the New Testament to see if the Greek specifically 'capitalizes' each noun that refers to the person of Christ. I don't know what end that this would serve, except to help understand why certain translators decided to capitalize here or there and some didn't. I do not have a complete copy of the Hebrew here with me, so I would be ill-suited to help you with Hebrew. But I would be willing to look at the Greek. | ||||||

Hi Nolan, I think I can agree on fully human, also. I expect some help on a new question under Hebrews 7:26. | ||||||

Hello Ray! Hebrews 7:26 is describing Jesus as our "high priest". The word usage in the Greek for 'high priest' in this verse does not refer to God directly (as far as specific word usage) and therefore does not denote capitalization for the noun 'high priest'. Therefore, 'high priest' in the context of this verse is indeed describing Jesus as our perfect and exalted high priest, but is using a human term ('high priest' as pertaining to the Law vv. 28) to describe Jesus, and is therefore not capitalized. We can contrast the word usage here with vv. 25 and 27-28, where Diety is directly referred to (and rendering capitalization), while the human term as pertaining to the law, 'high priest', remains uncapitalized. | ||||||
