Mark,
I hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in on this one.
Re: god vs God
II Corinthians 4 vs 3 But if the gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Compare the thought of who this god is to what is in Ephesians 6 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
There is a definite distinction between what kind of character is being referred to as a god or who is God.
In Christs love, John |
