Bible Note: Greetings, Ray, I agree with you on the significance of capitalization. Also, your comparison of the verses in Heb. and Psa was understanding and with great spiritual insight. The knowledge of the Lord is wonderful, and too lofty for us to attain (Ps 139:6). Which is precisely why I am unable to agree with you on the possibility of a universal expression regarding Deity. One of the main arguments that I have heard in favor of the spiritual inspiration of Holy Scripture (2Tim 3:16), is the fact that there are so many books by so many authors written over so many years, and the Bible contains not one contradiction. Yet if we were to try to write about any subject available, it would be extremely hard to find even two authors that do not disagree on even one point. Thus, there is nothing universally acceptable, what do you think? Maybe the word Deity or the origen thereof, deus, deva, would be a good place to start.Or at least, the word would have to be inspired by Deity. Peace, Tim |
