I wanted to know why do many of you guys don't capitalize God? I do because if i say god that means i am talking about diffrent gods. When i capitolize God it means i am talking about the true God. I also wanted to tell you i think you all should capitlize G for God.

thanx for replying :)

Wow, I thought I did... :)

If I do not it is most definitely an error on my part..

If I see it I assume it is an error on the part of the person making

the post and not on purpose..

unless it is an unbeliever who would not care to capitalize..

And then again....

I have a sister who writes only in lower case ..

sigh...she does not capitalize anything at all..

Or she has the caps on and does not use the lower case letters..

for some reason known only to her...she will not mix the cases..

:huh:

I asked her about it and she said that is the way she likes to type..

end on conversation.... :)

But she is my sis and I love her... :)

Good point. I have seen this time and time again. He is worthy of all our praise and for His name to be capitalized!

I agree -- if not out of reverence, for the purpose of clarification. I find it interesting how many Jewish people show their respect for God's name. They will often leave the "o" out of the word God. I suspect this is why the term Adonai often appears in Scripture in place of YWVH. In Hebrew, names are very important and not to be taken lightly. Anyway, I completely understand where you're coming from. :)

All references to a personal deity should be capitalized.

I moved this from "Looking for Advise" to the general forum. It is more appropriate here

ABsolutely. little g has reference to one of many of the other gods in this world. God refers to The Creator of All Things.

Whenever I am speaking of the God of the Bible, I do captalize, but when I speak of false gods I do not. If there are any instances where I failed to follow that practice, it was a typographical error. I agree that God deserves respect and his name should begin with a capitol G. In addition it is helpful when reading to determine if we are speaking of Jehovah or one of the many idol gods.

I agree with you 100% Roxy121. :whistling:

I capitalise all three persons of the Godhead and all apostles and, in fact all proper nouns used in the bible except the enemy, in all forms.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

      Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
