Bible Note: If in some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else, then capital or not it could be misleading. It's time to capitalize words denoting Deity and to decide who is who and who is speaking. I know that many of the Psalms of David will have words that one doen't know whether it is talking of David or God, especially when they begin the sentence. I've been studying this for twelve years or so and I know many of the problems. I could also comment to the forward of GOD'S WORD that sometimes we don't even know if the pronoun refers to Someone else. Luke 7:19 says, "Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?" If they expected One why would they look for someone or any one? And He gave sight to many blind. Ray V.H. |
