Yeah, the Hebrews really had good judgement, didn't they?.......they put the PHARISEES in charge.

Matthew 23:15
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a CHILD OF HELL as yourselves".

Is "capitalization" (for emphasis/noticeability) what you use to accuse everyone that you WANT TO FEEL GUILTY of something?.

It's about time that believers begin to notice the irrationality of the things we're taught to believe.

Instead of avoiding the topic being discussed by trying to make the other person feel guilty about "capitalization", learn to FOCUS on the topic.....'focusing' is the way to discover TRUTH (this is PRODUCTIVE and BENEFICIAL, it is called PROGRESS).

...or do you just LIKE the truth?

2 Thessalonians 2:6
"because they refused to LOVE the truth AND SO BE SAVED".

.....(changing/avoiding the subject is not how you DISCOVER TRUTH).

You are confused because I used the word "hebrew".....

The Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by God, the words written in the Bible are from God. The old testament was written in Hebrew - it doesn't mean it was inspired by any particular hebrew.

In the Bible - the written Word of God -is Proverbs - this book was also inspired by God, written by Solomon, who wrote in Hebrew. In Proverbs 9:10 it says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...". It also says it in Psalms and various other places in the OT the writers spoke of fear.

God inspired some of the OT writers to write about fear, including David, Solomon, Moses, etc. They all used the hebrew word fear only because they were hebrew.

The word fear - the very word that God inspired the OT writers to use - means "dreadful, exceedingly, fearfulness". If you have a problem with the word that God chose to use, and a problem with who God is and His character and what He wanted to relay to the world take it up with Him, I did not write the Bible, nor inspire it, nor create the defintion for the word "fear".
