Subject: Ignoring a Decision to Capitalize |
Bible Note: Ray: You write to me: 'You have written that "the oldest Greek manuscripts were all upper case."' [Actually, I, Kalos, did not write it -- I quoted it.] You continue: 'I don't know if that is true or not...'. [Ray, although I am not infallible (never claimed to be), I am not in the habit of posting things that are not true.] You then write: 'but I find it interesting and confusing that the writer finds FAULT with a capitalized "He" when it has been stated that they are all capitalized in the oldest Greek manuscripts.' Since the words in the oldest Greek manuscripts were written in all caps (upper case), then there is nothing to differentiate between caps AND lower case. The Greek manuscripts do not contain caps AND lower case. Therefore, there is nothing in the Greek that is equivalent to capital letters as we today use capital letters at the beginning of certain words. If a person is confused about this, then perhaps they should second guess their own decision to go around second guessing the decisions of real Greek scholars and Bible translators. Grace to you, Kalos |
