Editing note: Style varies with the capitalization of pronouns referring to deity. Some Bible translations capitalize, and some do not. Most other writings do. We decided to capitalize, but the reader will notice scriptural quotes that do not. We had to show the quotes accurately. This explains what may appear as an inconsistency.
