There are certain emails I receive on a routine basis and an especially common one relates to pronouns. Thankfully it’s not asking me to define my own pronouns as is all the rage today, but rather asking me whether Christians ought to capitalize God’s pronouns.
By way of explanation, when some Christians use a pronoun to refer to God, they capitalize it: “God tells us that He is holy.” Or “God is King, so worship before Him.” Other Christians simply use the same uncapitalized pronouns they would use in any other circumstance: “he” and “him.” Anyone who has written as much as a sentence about the Christian faith has had to decide which they will use.
Christians who capitalize divine pronouns believe that capitalizing any word that refers to God is a sign of respect. For them, failing to capitalize the word is dishonoring to God. On the other hand, Christians who do not capitalize divine pronouns insist they are just following the conventions of the English language rather than crafting a new one. For them, there is no need to adapt the language.
Which is biblical? Neither, really. The Bible
