Bible Note: Greetings Ray, my dear Brother in Christ! Yes, I agree! We have learned a lot together in our 'ongoing studies' of capitalization.. :) I am sure, my friend, that you of course mean no harm at all in studying the specific 'quirks' and reasonings behind different translations, and these studies have shed much light on the 'philosophies' of the usage, presentation or the reference to God throughout our English Bibles, namely, the NASB, NKJV and the Amplified. :) You mentioned 1 Chronicles 17:20, where the NASB, NKJV and Amplified all capitalize "God" and "You", which I agree is the same exact thought as expressed in 2 Samuel 7:22.. And Isaiah 45:21 is also interesting in light of this thought, since all three translations that we are using to study (that place special emphasis on capitalization) have capitalized "God", "Me" and "Savior" here. However, the word 'one' in Isaiah 47:8-10 is not capitalized in any one of the translations, which leads me to believe that a different meaning is implied here by the context. Yes, I will indeed look at your 1 Chronicles 17:20 thread! :) Ray, your studies are always interesting to read and encouraging to me since I know that you are studying the Word with such depth! Keep up the excellent studies, my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
