1 | Jesus experienced every kind of trial? | Heb 4:15 | Ray | 68826 | ||
Hi Tim Moran, Since you chose the NIV to quote from, may I deduce that capitalization of pronouns denoting Deity is not a top priority for you? I spoke with a pastor friend the other day who studies from the NIV and he assured me that it was my problem if I felt they had to be capitalized. He did not need to have them capitalized to think of them as Deity. But my question is, how important is it to think of Jesus as "one who" knows what we go through here on earth because he came as a man? I know that He came here in the likeness of men and can now sympathize because He was tempted just as we are. But "sympathize with our weakness" is different from "empathize" as I was going to incorrectly type in as the translation just now. He came in the likeness of men but he did not come as a man in order that he could empathize. I believe that it is more important to know Jesus as "the One who" rather than consider him as "the one who". But even if you want to think of Him as both the One and the one, in this verse under consideration we must think of Him as the High Priest to my mind. I took note today that in the King James and the NKJ there is no pronoun for One or one. And the NKJ which capitalizes pronouns of Deity capitalizes High Priest. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! Another Bible that you might be able to add to the 'Capitalization Rotisserie' is the Holman Christian Standard Bible (the entire Bible is due in 2003, http://www.broadmanholman.com/) which states the following in its New Testament preface... "4. Nouns and pronouns that refer to any of the divine persons are capitalized." So, in addition to the NKJV, NASB and Amplified Bibles, you will soon have the HCSB as an alternative source for consulting regarding Deity capitalization! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
