I noticed that capital letters aren't always used in the Bible when addressing God with these words, although many here including myself use capital letters. I don't know which is correct. Thank you.

Some versions of the bible use it. Others do not. I personally like to use it but I dont get huffy to those who do not. I do find those who call my Lord with a small g a bit offensive. Altho I usually wont mention it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Bible versions use capitals and some don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebrew did not have capitals. But I may very well may be wrong. Dim memories. I second Jady's remarks. But sometimes when my pad is acting up, or when I am in chat, I just don't bother. Frustrations.

God's name is above all names, and should be referenced to show that. Sign of respect and recognition of who He is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
