Bible Note: Hi lionheart, As you know, this is a question of capitalization. When you talk to me you have to be in a NASB or NKJ mode, where the pronouns are capitalized. So when you say "he was even addressed by them as being", then you probably think of Him as just a man. You may think of him as being a perfect man but still as a man. I think of Him as being fully Man and fully God. I would like to have us be consistent in our thinking of Him. I agree with the NASB which capitalizes "Him" even though the people might think of Him as a false prophet. I think also that we have to be consistent in our capitalization of Deity. You have written here: "But this he spoke of the Spirit. You can read the rest of the verse. Jesus is referring to the spirit." So you have written about an upper and lower case (s)Spirit. But that is a good question: Was Jesus speaking of the Spirit or the spirit in verse 39? And in verse 52 are the people speaking of a prophet or the Prophet? From the heart, Ray |
