Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by Ken4Christ: 7:48pm On Sep 10, 2022 |
I witnessed a ceremony where one of my Pastor friend was ordained a Bishop. And the head of the school of Bishop was addressed as Lord. I was shocked and till date, the tradition is still the same. We have only one Lord who is Jesus. Why address your fellow human in the house of God as Lord? Even the Apostles in the Bible days were never addressed as Lord What is your take? 7 Likes |

edoairways: We can't change what happens in the secular world. But we can certainly insist that things are done right in the church. Even our Lord Jesus said that leaders in the world loves titles and love to act like boss. He said it should not be so with us. 13 Likes 1 Share |

It's better you check up simple definition of the word lord possibly from the dictionary. It doesn't mean that bishop is God or anything like that. 26 Likes |

A Lord is a man of noble rank or high office... having said that, The Bible said he has been giving a name that's above every other names...Jesus Christ. Jesus in this context is the Lord of all Lords. 37 Likes 1 Share |

As right as you address a judge. But these things are inconsequential. This is why religion is nonsense. An adult waking up and making a case out of a senseless topic 6 Likes 1 Share |

Speakers' intention differs. Just the same way you witness the use of 'my lord' in a court of law to refer to the judge. By common sense, one should know that the word 'lord' simply connotes a ruler within a jurisdiction. The same applies to the Bible about Jesus because within the belief system and jurisdiction of the Christians, he is seen as a lord(ruler) over them. What then do you say about the phrase; "lord over" when referring to dictating for you? kindly check my signature below 2 Likes 1 Share

Lord simply means one with Authority, power or influence. It doesn't make the Bishop or whoever with such reference God. That is why the Bible called Jesus "The LORD of lords." 6 Likes |

Your lord is your leader , and every organisation organisation has the right to choose what to call their leaders. Why do we address a king as My king? Why CEO, MD, General, Field Marshal, etc? It's just a mere word 2 Likes |

This one wants to twist the meaning of an English word. Remember that, the English aren't even the ones who established modern day Christianity, it's the Romans that did so. 1 Like |

English no go kill person. The use of word Lord in the bible no go kill person. You can call Sango, Zeus, Thor or any thunder and lightening entities to strike somebody. They are gods. If you decide not to call these entities gods, that's your own problem. English go just dey dey laugh you |
