How much of a difference does a comma make?
I was reading through the Henkel Concordia (1854) and noticed something curious:
"I believe in God the Father, Almighty Maker of heaven and earth."
The way I had learned it (and have been saying it) is:
"I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth."
Is there a difference? What does it mean?

BTW - apologies to faithful readers for the unannounced twelve day hiatus. I was out of state and away from serious access to a computer.
Then, later on in the Apostles' Creed, it says:
"... and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence..."
I was wondering where you were. I was hoping you hadn't given up blogging (God knows I haven't updated mine lately). Glad to have you back.

Thanks again. Events of the past few days have really set me back. Putting words into sentences and trying to formulate thoughts is such an energy consuming exercise. (If only it burned calories... ;)
