Bible Note: Hi Kalos, I think that I have answered this post somewhere in time on this forum. We have talked about it a lot. But for newcomers may I say this for reference of my position. 1) I agree with the NASB which capitalizes the pronouns because of who Jesus Christ is, not who the speaker thought He was. 2) There is only one God, one Spirit, one King; therefore being the only King of kings. We don't make Him King for He should have always been King; King of the Jews, but they wanted a king to rule over them. In that regard, and in that sense we all work out our salvation in choosing a god who can not save us or a God who is able. In that sense, all of us should get those red pencils out and make our decisions to make Him Lord of all. 3) If the World English Bible did not choose to review all pronouns in the Bible for capitalization while looking at context and were either lazy or uncourageous, not taking the risk, then it is their loss. 4) In passing, I would bemoan the fact of the literary style of the NASB and NKJ which capitalize pronouns after a semicolon and thereby add unnecessary confusion. 5) For Luke 2:12, where do we see the sign for the shepherds and for us? Where is the sign of the Savior if not in the choice of the capitalization? What are you penciling in; Baby or baby? From the heart, Ray |
