Bible Note: Hello, Ray: Yes, I also count you as my friend. In my last Note to you I may have sounded harsher than I intended to. You actually said nothing about reversing the meaning of a passage. It just seemed to me that someone reading your posting as you worded it might incorrectly infer you were saying that updates and revisions of Bible translations might be doing that. The situation I was talking about was more hypothetical than actual. I am very familiar with your interest in capitalization and I know that you mean no harm to anyone. And I know you are not the sort to distort the Scriptures. You have a high regard for the inspired Word of God and would no more add to or take away from it than anything. Yes, I remember you explaining that the capitalization issue is a personal study of your own that has meaning to you. You are a gentle man and it seems that whenever you make a point or raise a question on capitalization in a given passage, you do so with a gentle spirit. You never hit us over the head with it or insist that we MUST agree with you. You are just not that kind of person. You know the reasons why *I* would not want to second guess the translators and start capitalizing freely. But, as far as friendship, our differences on this issue don't mean a thing. At least your aim is to prove the Deity of Christ and not to disprove it. Also, I must acknowledge that your method of capitalization doesn't reverse or change the meaning of any verse. I understand that your changes are meant to clarify and to increase accuracy. I know your motives are good and you are not setting about to distort the Scriptures. So, in short, there is no problem between us, my friend. Sorry if my previous post gave you that impression. You go right on following the Lord as He leads you. And stay with your eager and diligent study of the Bible. Ray, the forum would not be the same without you. And I mean that in a positive way. God bless you and have a blessed Sunday. Your brother in the Lord, John (JVH0212) |
