1 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | kw5kw | 141297 | ||
"2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? Why, because I think it gives the ultimate respect which is due the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. |

2 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | kalos | 141346 | ||
So, are you saying that the Scriptures in the original languages -- the very WORDS of which are inspired -- do not give the proper respect due the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Are you saying that the Divine Author or the human authors of the Word of God got it wrong? Are you saying that somehow we must improve on the Scriptures in the original languages? |

Hi Kalos, Kw5k2 has had a chance to answer your questions and I hope that he gets back to your questions. It appears to me that God in a sense has hidden Himself in the Scriptures. The Hebrew in all capitals and the Greek in all lower case are languages that leave it up to the reader to establish his own view of God. It appears to me that there is "progressive revelation" involved. So I would say that when the Scriptures were read before the printing press and the people learned the word by rote and by hearing only; then it didn't matter about capitalization because one can not determine it by hearing alone. Did the Divine Author or the human authors get it wrong? No they didn't get it wrong. They used the languages that were in place at the time by the will of God. Can we improve on the Scriptures in the original languages? Yes, I believe we can. We could get additional manuscripts in the further passing of time. We can determine the correct manuscripts from the choices we already have. I believe that capitalization of Deity is a major factor in determining which manuscripts to use in translating a version. From the heart, Ray |
