Bible Note: Hi Timothy Paul, Many good writers do not capitalize pronouns of Deity and I did not mean to diminish any of Matthew Henry's thoughts or stature. Having said that, I do believe that capitalization is important for interpretation of the Scriptures and that there are correct choices to be made.**** I also believe that it is possible that someone, somewhere, in concert or alone, will offer a rendering of Scripture that will be universally accepted for its accurate interpretation of pronouns of Deity. **** Earlier I wrote about the Heb 4:12,13 reference that Mr. Henry gave us and suggested comparing it to Psalm 139:4 instead of his verse 2. Since I wrote that to you, I completed my study of Book Five of these Psalms and would now concur with his verse 1,2, "O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. *Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up." And Matthew 9:4, "And *Jesus knowing their thoughts..." And Heb. 4:13, "...but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of *Him with whom we have to do."***** I look forward to talking more with you. From the heart, Ray |
