Hi retxar, I'm glad if I helped. It's 11:00 P.M. now for me so keep that in mind as I talk (I did have a nap today, though). Isn't it great that while bible studying we can have a personal talk with God as we try to determine all that is involved in the scriptures! And it's great that we can change our minds as we study for there is always more to discover. Our God is alive and active. I say that it is a personal study for in the reference to Ex 3 and the angel or Angel we have to decide for ourselves. And don't worry about leading anyone astray for it isn't something that is major enough to affect salvation. Another similar situation of angel or Angel is a passage later in Genesis about Jacob wrestling with God and men and that He had seen God face to face. It looks like you're going to cause me to reread Genesis since the new copyright of my NASB. One of the things I will be considering again is whether to capitalize the breath of Life in Genesis 2:7;6:17; or Rev 11:11. But not now. What do you personally think? Later, Ray |

82 | A question of capitalization: small "s"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 6059 | ||
Hi EdB, Thank you very much for answering. I agree that the capitalized S is not all that wrong. I'm looking for a little more consistency, however from our translators. Another place where there is "in the Spirit" is Ezekiel 37:l although NASB has "by the Spirit of the Lord". I haven't decided on that one yet or verse 14 where it says "And I will put My Spirit within you, and you will come to life,..." A note in the Study Bible says that Spirit could be "breath" within you: I'll be comparing it with my possible "breath of Life" at Gen 2:7. Anyway, Ezekiel 36:26,27 show us that both cases could be used correctly, or at least that it is not all "cut and dried," so to speak. Verse 26 says "put a new spirit within you" and verse 26, "And I will put My Spirit within you,..." According to my "Phrase Concordance of the Bible" by Nelson publishers, there are twenty four "IN THE SPIRIT" phrases. What are your thoughts on four more? Mt 22:43, Acts 19:21, 1Peter 4:6, or Acts 21:4 "through the Spirit"? Thanks again. In regard to the Son of Man and who it may be a direct reference to may I suggest the study of Daniel 3:25 in the NASB and the NKJ. Later, Ray |

83 | A question of capitalization: small "s"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 6100 | ||
Hi EdB, I'll be interested in what other people might be choosing for I think that these are valid considerations. I agree also with NKJ in the Daniel and the furnace episode. The figure in the furnace appeared like the Son of God and the men put their faith in their God who had sent His angel. I left out one "in the Spirit" phrases from Revelation. I would put the three that we have considered in lower case along with Rev 4:2. For consistency I would also put Matthew 22:43 as "Then how does David in the spirit call Him Lord,"... But if you know me at all you know that I would capitalize the three words of "Son" in that passage. In Acts 21:4, I chose the small "s" when I compared it with Acts 20:22,23 "And now, bound in spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem,..." And just the fact that the will of the Lord, Acts 21:14, was to be done and Paul did go to Jerusalem (and to Rome), shows that it wasn't the Spirit telling Paul through them. Again, thank you EdB. I'm glad for the discussion if only to reinforce the truth that Jesus is the Son of God and the Son of Man. |

Hi JVH, It is good to hear from you, truly. I appreciate your quote of the MacArthur Study Bible and his capitalization of Angel. I've noticed now that NASB still has verse 28 in lower case with NKJ having Angel also. I haven't gone through Daniel in a long while and I haven't always capitalized angel; it has been and probably will be a difficult decision in the future. But I have kept your words in mind and have made my copy back to "and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods." (I'd even encourage every Tom, Richard, and Harry to consider penciling that in their NKJ). In exchange I'd like you to consider the NKJ capitalization of Daniel 3:29, "inasmuch as there is no other God who is able to deliver in this way." This should be in contrast to Daniel 3:15 "and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?" It is the answer for NKJ "who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?" Over and over we read in scripture we read "He is able" or the "One who is able". Amen. If I can throw in a joke. I am reminded of the fishermen telling stories, with one of them ending the time saying, "I'll put the light out of the lantern I snagged if you'll take twenty inches off the fish you caught." But I think we had a good exchange here.(If accepted.) In passing, concerning Daniel, I would capitalize Spirit of the holy God in Daniel 4:9 and wherever it appears. (The NKJ has "Spirit of the Holy God.") I welcome your comments. Thanks. Later, Ray |

Hi EdB, After talking with you and others I'm going to go with the appearance of the fourth figure in the furnace as being like a son of the gods. Also, in Daniel 3:28 I'm going to leave the angel uncapitalized; thus equating the two. If you want, I'd welcome discussion on Heb 8:26. Are we allowed to "scam" here? | ||||||

87 | Choosing a Bible translation | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 10703 | ||
Hi Hank, Whatever translation one chooses, it should be purchased to be read. It should be age-appropriate; perhaps with pictures and paraphrased for kids, giant print for the older person. I hate to see gift Bibles with a small print for I just know that they will not be read. | ||||||
88 | Choosing a Bible translation | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 10778 | ||
Hi Hank, I appreciate your joke about the read Bible. I'd also like to say that I got the joke about the fire-fighting kings who came from a far. That was a good one, too. I tried to make a post that didn't include capitalization, but Nolan had to change that.:-) I think the most significant thing for understanding the scriptures would be to choose a translation that capitalizes Deity. |

Hi JVH, Nolan made a good response and I hope that LOFT will make more than one post before he claims to be number one question answerer. LOFT, These guys have made thousands of contributions. Don't be scared off to yourself by a response to your post. Really, we all can get along real well once we get to know each other. | ||||||

Hi, TOFT, Sorry about getting your name wrong in our introductions. I do hope to get to know you better. I believe that your second question is important; perhaps you can add a note at that site about "knowing" that one is saved. | ||||||
91 | Question for you Both? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 13585 | ||
Hi Bro. Tom, I would like to respond to some of the things that I hear and see you say, from the perspective of the "Capitalist" who is concerned with capitalization. The first thing that I see you say is that "I believe that Jesus was the son of God." Even the King James which I believe you use has Hebrews 4:14 speaking of Jesus the Son of God. This is the confession that we want to hold fast to as Christians. But using the NKJ and NASB versions that capitalize Deity, we can learn more of what Hebrews is saying. Hebrews 4:15, NKJ, "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but (One who, NASB)was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." By the time of the writing of Hebrews Jesus was known as the Son and His deity was believed in, and He was in a sense "perfected" in the same sense that capitalization shows His deity. Remember that Jesus is the only-begotten Son. He was begotten not made. Hebrews 1:5 says in part, "THOU ART MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN THEE" And again, "I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME". The NKJ reads "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You" And again: "I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son." Please note the capitalization here of the Father and the Son. We as men are fathers and sons and I will never become a Son. Even as a believer I am an adopted son of God and I won't ever be perfect. I am just a man and I will never be the Man that Jesus was. Bro. Tom, you write that "Jesus had his own spirit." I believe that Jesus had His own spirit, but He gave it up on the cross." I have other thoughts to give you so I'll write them in your other post. Later, Ray |

92 | Question for you Both? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 13997 | ||
Hi Bro. Tom, We are just getting to know each other so I have to tell you that my main interest is the Deity of Christ and getting to know the only true God. It is because of my interest in capitalization of the pronouns of Deity that I wondered about your belief in the son of God rather than the Son of God. I realize your preference for the King James and know that "it hath taught you" as 1John 2:27 says, but I would urge you to consider the NKJ and even more the NASB also so that you can receive more of His anointing which is "the same anointing." Even the anointing which "teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie." I agree that we need repentance and the desire to lead holy lives for Him. Later, Ray |

Hi GeneralWAS, My questions after reading the article would be, "Did God breath spirit into man?" or "Was the breath of Life breathed into his nostrils? The way that I composed those questions show the way that both can be true. In other words, if one speaks of the "breath of life" one would think of oxygen and air to breath and live. If one speaks of the "breath of Life" one can then speak of the "spirit of God." |

97 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 16021 | ||
Hi Tim, I'm sorry that the flap cover of the book, represented by the web site, did not lead you to looking at the book. This book is not about codes, numerology, or hidden meanings. It is about comparison of Scriptures, groupings of Scriptures, subjects are tied together; all through the use of the letters of the languages themselves. Each letter has a numerical value (according to Webster's dictionary) and the totals of words and phrases have been shown to have significance. I believe that if man can run computers on what, two numbers, that our great God, whose name is Word, can accomplish and has accomplished greater things than we can imagine. I recommend the book highly. |

A P.S. from Ray, I'm talking of the book "Theomatics" and not the NIV of this thread as far as my recommendation goes. Theomatics uses the NASB. | ||||||

Hi kalos, Did this message by John MacArthur mention theomatics? It could very well be that he would be against it if he didn't get past the flap cover of the book. | ||||||

Hi kalos, I take it then that the answer is "No, the quote of John McArthur did not have anything to do with theomatics or of the book "Theomatics." | ||||||
