Bible Note: Hi Jim, I love to talk about the Oneness of God because that's what got me into the study of the Trinity years ago. I'll be glad to talk about it anytime. If you do talk to me about anything, you'll have to remember that I'm involved in capitalization. For instance, you write that you are afraid that people will decide "that God was anything but one." What would you say if I'm afraid that people will decide "that God is anything but One?" The NASB reads in John 10:30,"I and the Father are one." I hope that in a new copyright translation that they will capitalize the word One. The NKJ John l0:30 reads, "I and My Father are one." That is an acceptable translation to me also. It is harder to understand how "I and My" can be be linked together as one, but no one said that the coming of God to earth was a simple thing to explain. In other words, any discussion is only fruitful if the Deity of Christ is accepted by the parties. Can I talk to you about another word that you did not capitalize? I capitalize the word Truth; for instance, John 8:32, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free." and v.36, ...the Son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.'" I do believe that we should all continue to search for and proclaim the truth as you have stated. Now, maybe you can help me decide on another capitalization problem I haven't decided on. Phil 2:16 reads, actually it is the end of the sentence of the scripture of this tree, "...holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may have cause to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain." You capitalized the word "Life" with 2Timothy 2:14 in mind, "handling accurately the word of truth.'" As I said above we should all continue to search for the truth in God's word. I think that I agree with your capitalization. I was also considering capitalizing Philippians 1:27, "standing firm in one Spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." So my question to you is this, "Which one of these words would you think should be capitalized as speaking of the Deity of Christ?" |
