But same Bible said Jesus is first born of God's creation. So for me God created Jesus and gave him power to do things. God remain God. This theory of Trinity was sneaked into the church by the Catholics. I am a born Catholic though
the things of divine, your brain cannot understand sir.

There are several Gods, I can name quite a few, but only ONE Lord.. The Jews called him Hashem, the Babylonian called him Marduk, we igbos call him CHUKWU, the Yoruba call him Eledumare, the benins call him Osanobua... He is the lugal dimmer Ankia which literally translate to the divine king Of heaven and earth.....

God's include Enki, Enlil., inanna, Ogun, olokun, sango... Etc.

The Jesus story actually comes from ancient tales about Marduk.. Marduk happens to be the son of Enki, but he won his place as head of the pantheon when he defeated Tiamat.. All the Gods and goddess crowned him their king.

It was Athanasius that said he was both God and man at the council of nicea in other to satisfy all factions at the council.. So Eusebius was commissioned to write and fashion a human history for him and the product was the gospel of Mark... "make it to astonish" was emperor Constantine order... They were written accordingly.. Says Eusebius, the master forger..

Arrant nonsense - Mark was written about 70 AD. The Nicene council had two factions - those who believe he was just a special man and those who believed he was that but also equally God. The later won.
STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!!

Lord is used mostly for local gods like Jehovah, Allah, Moloch, Oduduwa, Enlil, Atum, Enki, etc.

Re: What Is The Difference Between God And Lord? by BIBLESPEAKS(m): 12:04pm On Dec 01, 2019
1. God Alone = Jehovah (YHWH in Hebrew text) - Ps. 83:18; 86:10; Is. 37:16, 20 (and numerous Israelite personal names like 'Elijah' which mean ' God is Jehovah).

Psalms 83:18 "That they may know that thou
alone , whose name is Jehovah (YHWH), Art the Most High over all the earth." - ASV.

Ps. 86:10 "For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone . 11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah (YHWH); I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name." - ASV.

Is. 37:16 " O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest [above] the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone , of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth." - ASV.
.......................................................


2. Only Jehovah = the Father in heaven -Ps. 2:7 (Acts 13:33); Is. 64:8 (and numerous Israelite personal names like 'Abijah' which mean 'The
Father is Jehovah')

Psalms 2:7 "I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son ; This day have I begotten thee. - ASV .

Acts 13:33 "That God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son , this day have I begotten thee. - ASV.

Isaiah 64:8 "But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father ; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

But there are no personal names in Scripture which mean "Jehovah is the Son" or "Jehovah is the Messiah," or anything else to indicate that the firstborn son of God is Jehovah or is God.
.....................................................


3. The Father (Jehovah) is the God of the Messiah
Micah 5:2-4 " 2 And thou, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From thee to Me he cometh forth--to be ruler in Israel, And his comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity. 3 Therefore he doth give them out till the time She who bringeth forth hath brought forth, And the remnant of his brethren return to the sons of Israel. 4 And he hath stood and delighted in the strength of Jehovah, In the excellency of the name of Jehovah his God - Young's.

Rom. 15:6 "so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ." - NASB.

Revelation 1:6 "and He [Jesus Christ in heaven] has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father --to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." - NASB.

2 Corinthians 11:31 " The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying." - NASB.
................................................


4. The Father (Jehovah - see above) = only true God
John 17:1, 3 " Father , .... 3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. - NASB.
The Father (Jehovah) = only God for Christians - 1 Cor. 8:6

1 Corinthians 8:6 "yet for us there is one God , the
Father , from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." - RSV.

1 Corinthians 8:6 "yet there is for us only one God , the Father , who is the Creator of all things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live." - TEV.

Ephesians 4:6 " one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all." - NASB.

God is the creator of everything that exist since over 4 billion years ago (that was before mankind). The English call Him God, the Arab call Him Allah, the Hebrew call Him Jehovah, Yoruba call Him Olodumare , Igbo call Him Chukwu e.t.c.

Where Lord is used for Him, the L is always in capital. But where lord is used for Jesus, Ogun, Judges, Obatala etc the ''l'' is always in small letter.

Jesus is not God. Jesus is God's messenger or servant just like father Abraham, Moses, Noah, Solomon, David to mention but few.

Those whose ranked Jesus to the level of God Almighty are misguided by the book whose source is traceable to council of nesea.

I am the Lord of gambling

Lord in the bible means a superior person (by position, honour, level etc). God was called Lord, Christ was called Lord, kings were called lord "2 Sam 14:19 etc. But anywhere you see " LORD" it is the Name of God that was replaced with the term. God, on the other hand is the Supreme Being. The Creator of all.

God is The Father, Governor of Everything in Heaven.

Lord God,. Genesis 2, is The SPIRIT, Controller of Heaven & Earth.

LORD is Accountable for Everything on Earth and for mediating and intermediating between The CREATURES AND THE CREATOR.

LORD IS GOD THE SON, HIS PROPHETS AND ALL THE APOSTLES OF CHRIST.

WHEN YOU'RE TRULY BORN AGAIN, YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOU'RE LORD ON EARTH.

this is the problem I have with you people. Once the debate gets hot u will start saying it is a thing of divine. U that claim to understand it are u a spirit? Same way with tithes, when the debate becomes hot u people change it to spiritual understanding, but u did not need any spiritual understanding when quoting Malachi verbatim.

Your explanation contradict what John chapter 1 is saying.
He is a Muhammadan.

Besides, Allah and God are not the same.

* I am in the Father and the Father is in me

We all believe we can be called son of God(Not begotten son, God was never given birth to and never gave birth), if we can be called son of God and Jesus can also be called son of God, means we and Jesus are all ranked the same, but Jusus been more a prophet, a messanger and the second to the last prophet, ranked him above we humans, so we can call him our Lord or any other attributes that ranks him above us. There is no statement (unambiguous) in the Bible where Jesus said I am God or worship me. These two statements are ambiguous, but you prefer the meaning that says Lord and God is the same, why not otherwise.

Blasphemy!!!
Jesus is one with God the Father and the Holy Ghost!
There is only one God!
Three in one God!!

LOL, you deleted something, Why naa??, The second phrase said the word was with God. I told you to give me an unambiguous statement, If truly Jesus was God and he should be worshipped, it would have shown clearly several times in the Bible. Probably, this is your only proof from the Bible.
Meanwhile, for it to be ambiguous it has several meaning John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. First meaning, Truly the word of God was there right from the beginning, passed from prophet to prophet, and the word of God was truly with God, even though a prophet dies, the word won't die, and the word was God, all Revelations (word) reveals nothing that to worship and be obedient to the God Almighty.
Second meaning...

Blasphemy everywhere!!

Re: What Is The Difference Between God And Lord? by Jamesilvar(m): 1:39pm On Dec 01, 2019
Jesus is God. He and the Father are one and inseparable.
That is why people that have sense start their prayers by saying: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST. The same people that have sense also conclude their prayers saying the same and yet they are praying to one God.
God is a mystery your human mind cannot comprehend.
That is why we can only have faith and believe in that faith!
If you have seen God Almighty or Allah, then maybe you can boast of more than just faith!
But since you haven't, don't try to comprehend things that are far above your understanding the way FAITH has put it. Just know and believe in your FAITH!! Your FAITH has already put God far above your understanding!

Re: What Is The Difference Between God And Lord? by Eviana(f): 1:42pm On Dec 01, 2019
I use them interchangeably.
As long as one understands the Godhead..and the functions of all three..and their ultimate sovereignity.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
I use the word "Lord" oftentimes, to refer to Jesus Christ...also understanding that He and the Father are one.

Allah began in the Arabic lands. He was spread through violence and slave trading. The knowledge of God Almighy, the Creator of Allah doesn't spread through such negative ways. Allah was a local god for years before finally becoming an international god, yet that doesn't erase the fact that both he and Jehovah have a creator. Read the account of how they were created in the Book of MCC 1: 14.
