Bible Note: A little reverence, please! Greentwiga: Moderation in all things. Anything can be carried to an extreme -- including the omission of capitalization. "In modern English, it is considered correct to either capitalize or not capitalize pronouns referring to God..." Here we're talking about whether to capitalize PRONOUNS. However, God and Christ are not pronouns. In English we DO capitalize PROPER NOUNS (called also PROPER NAMES). A proper noun is a noun that designates a particular being or thing and is usually capitalized in English. Even your name and mine are capitalized in English. By what logic do we capitalize your name, but don't capitalize Christ and God when it refers to the God of the Bible? "Other contemporary translations of the Holy Bible into English are pretty much evenly split between capitalizing and not capitalizing these pronouns." However, I have never seen any English translation that does not capitalize "God" and "Christ". Please, a little reverence for God and Christ. Grace to you, Kalos |
