Bible Question: It's time to decide? It's time to capitalize? And, pray tell, who shall make those decisions? The Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Trinitarians, Unitarians, Roman Catholics, Russian Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Pentecostals, General Baptists, Southern Baptists, American Baptists? The list goes on and on. If only the solution were that simple and simplistic! We're not talking about a new format for the Yellow Pages, we're talking about the sacred and imperishable Word of God. |
Bible Answer: Rev. l9:10 ..."For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called the Word of God." This is the only Word of God I found referenced. This is the one place out of 47 that I found the Word of God. He is sacred and holy, He is imperishable and remains, let's worship Him and praise Him with a capital letter for He is worthy. The rest of the references were "word of God". But when did you decide to capitalize the word of God, or the many places found of the word of the Lord? Is it time for you as well as millions of others to show respect for the Lord by capitalizing His names, the ones we know at least? Of course it is, for the time is always now for the scriptures. Now is the time... But sometimes people can revere the Bible more than they know their Lord. Its time for all of us, all the people you mentioned and more to determine for ourselves the deity of Christ and decide if He is who He says He is. We all have to decide if He is a way or the Way. I might say here also that God is spirit, and equally true that He is a Spirit. God is true, but equally true is that His name is True. He speaks truth but equally true is that He is the Truth. Don't be afraid to write in your Bibles people for it is only paper or even papyrus. But I want you to know the Word, and you get to know Him through the word of God. Ray V.H. |
