MacBook autocorrects "The Bible" to "the Bible" What I'm trying to do is have the flexibility to write the following sentences:


  The Bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave
  His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish
  but have everlasting life." (NKJV)


or


  Let's look at what the Bible says in John 3:16. "For God so loved the
  world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
  should not perish but have everlasting life." (NKJV)


My problem is that my MacBook always autocorrects the string "The Bible" to "the Bible" no matter its location in the sentence. This happens in TextEdit as well as Safari so it's not just a Safari thing. I've checked the Text tab under Keyboard in System Preferences and "the Bible" isn't there. I've also checked ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary and it's blank. I've tried right clicking the selection to bring up the little menu to Add Spelling or Unlearn Spelling but I don't see those options.

Here is a picture of the problem as I'm typing.

My laptop details:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) with a fresh install of High Sierra. I'm currently on macOs High Sierra 10.13.5 (17F77).
This is (sort of) expected behavior because the name of the book is not The Bible but rather Bible or Holy Bible or King James Bible, etc.

When referring to it, you say/write the Holy Bible.  

So, this isn't a "spelling" issue where you can add this to a dictionary rather it has to do with grammar.  Unfortunately, it's trying to anticipate what you're typing and erroneously making the correction.  You either have to go back and manually change it back or click the "X" when it pops up so it doesn't make the change.

There's a good reference on capitalization rules and it appears what the grammar check is attempting to follow.
