1 | Ignoring a Decision to Capitalize | Rev 14:16 | Ray | 149499 | ||
Hi Kalos, Whether you wrote it or the person you quoted wrote it, I still don't know if the statement is true. I am not all-knowing (never claimed to be); I am not in the habit of posting that something is false if I don't know that. But what I have heard here on the forum in the past is that the Hebrew was all caps and the Greek was all lower case. We need some verification on that point. There was some confusion on your quote because the quotation mark that you used started at 'Revelation 14:16...' 1) The real Greek scholars and Bible translators of the NASB and the NKJ have the Son of Man capitalized or allowed in their marginal note. I believe that your quoted author is doing some second guessing of his own. And I do not find fault with that; I just don't agree with him. From the heart, Ray |

2 | Ignoring a Decision to Capitalize | Rev 14:16 | kalos | 149514 | ||
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 1 Cor. 13:11 (ESV) Ray: From what you have written over the past four years, I can only conclude that you have been 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. Can we improve upon the Scriptures as they were originally written? No, we cannot. The idea that somehow the written Word of God was in need of improvement and incomplete until centuries later when an English translation came along, complete with capitalization of pronouns pertaining to God, is absurd. It's ludicrous. The real Greek scholars and Bible translators of the WEB Bible, NRSV, NIV, and the ASV of 1901 have chosen NOT TO CAPITALIZE PROUNOUNS PERTAINING TO GOD. 'The WEB [Bible] doesn't capitalize pronouns pertaining to God. This is similar to the NRSV and NIV, and the same as the original ASV of 1901. Note that this is an English style decision, because Hebrew has no such thing as upper and lower case, and the oldest Greek manuscripts were all upper case... 'It is also true that choosing to capitalize pronouns relating to God causes some difficulties in translating the coronation psalms, where the psalm was initially written for the coronation of an earthly king, but which also can equally well be sung or recited to the praise of the King of Kings. 'Capitalizing pronouns relating to God also makes for some strange reading where people were addressing Jesus with anything but respect. In any case, in the presence of good arguments both ways, we have decided to leave these as they were in the ASV 1901 (which also gives us fewer opportunities to make mistakes).' ____________________ http://ebible.org/bible/web/webfaq.htm.

And yet I show you a more excellent (w)Way. 1 Corinthians 12:31. How much should be believe in "progressive revelation?" From the heart, Ray BTW, my name is "From the heart" in Dutch. |

Hi, Ray. "How much should we believe in progressive revelation?" Only as much as Scripture itself teaches! :-) I think one will find that Hebrews 1:1,2 gives reasonable proof, as well as a good synopsis, of what is commonly called progressive revelation. --Hank | ||||||
5 | Belief in "progressive revelation?" | Rev 14:16 | Ray | 149628 | ||
Hi Hank, Hebrews 1:1, "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in (His) Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." Genesis 1:26, "Then (God) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;..." Consider this interpretation of 2 Corinthians 5:16: Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore if any man is in (Christ), he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, the One who reconciled us to Himself..." The parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
