1 | rock or Rock,god or God,savior or Savior | Hos 13:4 | Ray | 20038 | ||
Hi Hank, Thanks for responding. I agree that there are valid arguments for using either and appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for sharing the NIV renderings also. I'm sorry but I can hardly bear to read a version anymore that does not capitalize pronouns of Deity. How can we honor a God when we don't know Him as God? Hank, do you think that God has a common name? Psalms 7:17, "I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High." Thanks, Later, Ray |

Hello again, Ray. You ask whether I think God has a common name. No, Ray, I don't. I don't think there is anything common about God. He is omnipotent. He is transcendent. He alone is God. There is none like Him. To Him all majesty ascribe, as the hymn goes. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I didn't mean to put you on the spot. I went to bed last night thinking that a common name for Him would be a "father". I was thinking of the three times in 1 Chronicles that God tells Solomon that "I will be his father, and he shall be My son." See 1 Chronicles 17:13, 22:10, and 28:6 But now after studying some more this morning, I am going to follow the lead of the NKJ and capitalize those also. What I believe is that God is not a god. See Hosea 13:4 and determine if that belief fits in with the NASB. There is no common name for Him. Not even "a father". See also Malachi 1:6, both versions. God is God, period. I would like to consider the Savior with you too if you have any preference there. Later, Ray |
