Bible Question:
Hi Emmaus, I haven't spoken to a person from the Roman Catholic church about the Bread of life. I wonder if you are more open than others to the interpretation of capitalizing the seven breads found in John 6:41-58? Is this manna which came down from heaven the son of Joseph or the Son of Joseph? Our bread perishes; do you think the one eating this Bread will? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray, Although I prefer the older style of capitalizing the tiles and personal pronouns of any of the Persons of the Trinity. I wonder how much of this is cultural and if it is confined to English or if it is found in other languages. i looked at som,e of my older Missals and Bibles and they do not, despite Catholic understanding of John 6, capitalize bread in John 6, only the personal pronouns. I think there used to be standard rules of grammar on these matters. Jesus is the Son of God in his divine personhood and divine nature in the Trinity. He is the son of Joseph in his human nature from Mary and adopted by Joseph. It all goes back to Jesus being one divine Person (the Son, which in the Tinity is a name, as opposed to the son of Joseph, which is not a name), with two natures, divine and human. But I must admit that while respecting your interest, this kind of theological hair splitting over typeface does not hold much appeal for me. Jesus answers your last question in John 6: 50-51.
