Subject: About the word "Lord" or "lord"
In reply to: Sola Scriptura 's message, "Nucc's Question Regarding The Tetragrammation Answered" on 13:33:11 01/18/03 Sat

The 1996 book "A Dictionary of the Bible" by W.R.F.Browning has an article on page 231. See Num.32:25, Matt.18:25, Mark 2:28, Matt.7:21. Lord is used in the Old Testament for God ... "The term was a convenient bridge ... there were many pagan 'lords', and it was later used of the Roman emperor...."
..... There seems to have been some confusion between the use of that word for God in the Old Testament, and after the crucifixion of Jesus the use of that same word to denote [only] an authority figure was, perhaps, used by some people to make Jesus as equivalent to God.
