1 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | Hank | 6283 | ||
Hello, Ray. Regarding the issue of capitalization of the word "god" in Daniel 3:15, why should it be capitalized? Nebuchadnezzar is not talking about the God of Israel here, but about a god in general, any god -- a generic god, if you will. This king was a polythestic pagan. He recognized many gods. In 2:47 the king is answering Daniel when he says, "Your God is a God of gods." God is capitalized in this instance because clearly the word is used in reference to the one true God, the God of Israel. The "gods" in the phrase "God of gods" is in reference to pagan deities. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | kalos | 6336 | ||
Give it a rest. 25 entries to debate whether Nebuchadnezzar was a true believer? The original question is valid and legitimate. But 25 entries? Does this have some bearing on our eternal destiny? Does it affect our salvation? Does it concern one of the essentials of the Christian faith? You know, like the Deity of Christ, inspiration of the Bible, the Atonment, the visible and personal return of Christ to the earth, and did Nebuchadnezzar, along with elect babies, go to heaven when he died? P.S. I do not wish to be notified via email when someone replies to this submission. |
