Bible Note: Hi Roger459, We are discussing these things because the Greek and Hebrew do not give us any help in the "right capitalization". However, judging by your prolific use of (c)Capitalization throughout your posts, I wonder how meaningful a discussion we might have. That being said, I appreciate your Psalm 139:12 reference because it is a meaningful passage. In my personal study I have looked at Psalm 139:7 to determine if the verse is talking about going from His Spirit and fleeing from His Presence, or going from His spirit and fleeing from His presence. I have chosen "spirit" and "presence". How about you? You have made me look at verses 11 and 12 and I find them interesting and enlightening. Verse 11 can be thought of as one quote as per the NASB or as a statement with an answer as per the NKJ. I go with the NKJ, "If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me", Even the night shall be light about me;" Why is the night to be light about him? Verse 12 tells us it is because even the darkness is not dark when it comes FROM Him. The marginal note in my NASB Study Bible has for verse 12 [Lit. from]. This note is in regards to the word "to". So my choice for Psalm 139:12 would be the NASB. Psalm 139:12, NASB, "Even the darkness is not dark to [Lit. from] Thee, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to Thee." There is no sin or darkness in Him. He is the One who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. 1 Timothy 6:16. From the heart, Ray |
