Bible Note: Hi Joe, To my mind, capitalization of Deity is a must.:) You can leave other deities and gods in lower case. I can't think of any references of "God's deity" so that shouldn't be a problem for us. In fact, because of your capitalization of pronouns concerning the Holy Spirit and His work I can know that you are a believer. (Along with your words of hundreds of posts here on the forum.) The Hebrew is in ALL CAPITALS. Capitalization of Deity is not a problem there. What it does allow for is the capitalization of MAN. And to me that is very important when we now look at the Man, the Lord Jesus Christ; as we look at the Son of David, and the Son of Man. I believe that Jesus taught His disciples from the OT scriptures often. And they were fulfilled as He spoke, lived, and died. The disciples were called in the Greek "mathtas" and called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26. The Greek word gives us our word math and mathematics. For this reason I am not concerned about counting to three and even to nine for that matter.:) I've said in other places and I'll say it here; that we have come to know God accurately through the ages without capitalization in our scriptures, but I believe we can know scriptures and the way of God "more accurately" with capitalization. |
