Bible Note: Hi Hank, Thank you "ole" friend. Thank you everyone who might be praying for me. I am only one of millions who are taking life as it comes with thanksgiving and looking for the abundant life in the Lord God as we live out our lives. Hank, can I get you to think with us about the "water and the spirit" and "water and blood" or maybe John 4:24, "in spirit and truth"; all being lower case? In a conversation with Kindness some months ago I decided to capitalize "in Spirit and truth" because no one was open to capitalize John 4:20, "and *You [people] say..." If you are open to the plural "We" that Tim Moran and I are for John 3:11, tell us if you would be open to the thought that John 4:22 could be a similar situation. We are aware that the "people" of verse 20 is not in the Greek. If the "We" words are accepted, I would go back to spirit and truth, all in lower case. From the heart, Ray |
