If others disagree please let me know. | Bill, "gratia" is both nominative and ablative, and so might be taken as "grace" or "by grace." The same applies to "Amazing Grace." I just don't think these are appropriate names to call oneself. But I want to make it clear that I'm not making a charge. |
Then what are you making? I don't understand what you are doing by bringing it up if you are not accusing someone of doing something wrong.
I for one don't think anyone is claiming a deity's attribute. I think they are wanting to magnify something about God. Matthew, I would like to know more about your accusation that something may be amiss here.
