Bible Note: Hi, Ray! I appreciate your words of encouragement! As far as capitalization... it is a personal custom that I've picked up through the years... I do not subscribe to any particular Bible translation as my basis--it's more of a personal preference... "I would talk about the Son of Man" Where you would capitalize both "Son" and "Man," I would only capitalize "Son"--the reasoning is that Jesus is God's Son and not the Son of man... to capitalize "Man" would elevate our finite being to a deity--from my view point... further, I find that by not capitalizing the "m" Jesus' dominance over humanity is present even when He is the Lamb of God! So stating that He is the Servant of God distinguishes Him from the servants (humanity) of God... but when stating that He remained in His station as "servant" I am stating His relationship with the Father--as He chose not to be equal with the Father so that He could accomplish the task as the Lamb... but it is quite clear that his Glory was put away only temporarily as He requests from the Father to be returned to His appropiate place with Him. (John 17:5) Again, when you see capitalization on my posts know that it is done out of a personal practice and though I do not follow any particular mode, I tend to capitalize not according to a grammatical format but according to the emphasis I am seeking to convey.
