Subject: Where are these words coming from? |
Bible Note: Hey Ray, You had asked me similar questions, and now Stultis ... I took the time to do some looking, as I didn't want to give you a hasty answer. In both the cases here in this letter, and also in the questions you asked me, the words are the same words. If you have an interlinear, take a look at them. The same greek words are being used. Light/light Love/love. God is "love" is God is "agape" Capitalization of Deity is, in my opinion, a knit-picky topic. The autograph manuscripts were written completely in upper case letters. None of the apostles made a distinction. Capitalize what you please, and don't capitalize what you don't please. God is light, and so are we. We have become partakers of the divine nature. God is Love. It is in Love that we dwell, and it is Love that dwells in us. We walk in the Spirit according to the Spirit that gives us power. Does that help any? Get an interlinear Greek/English and a few good Greek lexicons. I believe you'll find a lot of these answers yourself with the right resources. All my love, Theo-Minor |
