And it doesn't make sense, does it? You conclude the use of the word Lord does what? I think your problem is that you don't know what god and lord really mean. God means venerated lord means having authority, sometimes but not always granted by someone else. Godfather, landlord. I've listed most of the notable figures in the Bible that are called gods. Moses, Jesus, Satan, Jehovah, judges, angels, Baal, Dagon etc.

You haven't said anything. Am I just not seeing something you would ascribe to tradition? I don't care about the tradition unless it is relevant to scripture not the other way around. You're not conveying to me what your point is because I can't see it through your traditional presuppositions. Say what you mean in your own words. So you have four references. What do they mean? They have to fit the Bible, not theology. My opinion fits. I don't know if yours does because I don't know what it is. I don't ask you to think for yourself for your own benefit, you know. I don't give a fuck about any of you. Think for yourselves for me. So I can at least try to understand what the hell you're talking about without having to take a class on stupid that I could get at the public library or Google's woke ass.
