AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 7:26 ¶ It was fitting for us to have such a High Priest [perfectly adapted to our needs], holy, blameless, unstained [by sin], separated from sinners and exalted higher than the heavens; |
Bible Question:
I believe that we have such a High Priest unlike the high priest(s) of verse 27 who first have to offer sacrifices for their own sins daily for He is a Son, made perfect forever. I have found agreement among friends that Jesus was fully human and fully God. I have capitalized son, I have capitalized high priest as other versions of scripture have, I have capitalized God because He is not a god. My question is this: How important is it for us to think of Jesus as the Son of Man instead of a son of man? How important is it for translators to capital man when speaking of Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Ray after submitting my answer I realized I only addressed Heb. 7:26 and not your second or main question. As far as capitalization of "Son of Man" I think the issue comes back to a case of position verses the person in position. In the case of high priest many men served in the that position. However only one can be called the perfect High Priest, that being Jesus. With the position of Son of Man however there is only one that ever can ever be the Son of Man and that is Jesus. Every male can be ‘a’ son of ‘a’ man but none except Jesus can be ‘the’ Son of Man. Therefore since that position can be filled by only one and that one is Jesus Christ, referring to that position should be capitalized. |
