1 | Jesus called Good teacher | Mark 10:18 | Ray | 131354 | ||
Hi Angel, I agree with what you have said, but I have to disagree with the interpretation of Scripture concerning capitalization. I would talk about the Son of Man rather than the Son of man. I would say that pronouns should agree. Thus "you call Me [sic] "Teacher" and "Lord", and rightly so." Luke 22:27 I would interpret as saying, "But I am among you as the *One who serves." I would say that He maintains His station as "Servant" rather than servant. I believe that (Lamb of God) should agree with Son of Man [sic]. Angel, again, I think your post was great, but I don't agree with the interpretations/translations that do not make the divinity of Jesus clear. So, I think that Luke 22 is stating that Jesus is the One who serves. Matthew 17 is speaking to whether the Teacher should pay the temple tax. Matthew 3 can show the dominance of Christ simply by the use of capitalization; John the baptist said, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" So I loved your thoughts and encourage you to keep up the good work on the forum. From the heart, Ray |

Hi, Ray! I appreciate your words of encouragement! As far as capitalization... it is a personal custom that I've picked up through the years... I do not subscribe to any particular Bible translation as my basis--it's more of a personal preference... "I would talk about the Son of Man" Where you would capitalize both "Son" and "Man," I would only capitalize "Son"--the reasoning is that Jesus is God's Son and not the Son of man... to capitalize "Man" would elevate our finite being to a deity--from my view point... further, I find that by not capitalizing the "m" Jesus' dominance over humanity is present even when He is the Lamb of God! So stating that He is the Servant of God distinguishes Him from the servants (humanity) of God... but when stating that He remained in His station as "servant" I am stating His relationship with the Father--as He chose not to be equal with the Father so that He could accomplish the task as the Lamb... but it is quite clear that his Glory was put away only temporarily as He requests from the Father to be returned to His appropiate place with Him. (John 17:5) Again, when you see capitalization on my posts know that it is done out of a personal practice and though I do not follow any particular mode, I tend to capitalize not according to a grammatical format but according to the emphasis I am seeking to convey. God Bless! Angel |
