What is the difference between GOD and The LORD?

Question

Who is Who?

Answer 1

GOD and LORD are both titles like president and judge are titles. The Bible says that there are many gods and many lords. Even Satan is called a god. (2 CORINTHIANS 4:4)
1 CORINTHIANS 8:5-6--"For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him." (notice that the holy spirit is not mentioned)
PSALMS 83:18 tells us that God's personal name is Jehovah
Jehovah's only begotten Son is Jesus and both have the title of lord.
What separates the two is the fact that Almighty God is called LORD ( all capital letters) and Jesus is called Lord
( capital L only) This helps us to understand that Jesus and Jehovah God are not the same, They are Father and Son.

Answer 2

God is the Lord. It's just that Hebrew has different names for God that mean different things but all refer to the same God. So, one name is translated God and another is translated Lord in the Bible.

Answer 3

In the King James Version I think LORD referred to God the Father and Lord referred to Jesus or the Holy Ghost. But they 3 are one God.

Answer 4

The word Lord means master.

When it is used in reference to God, it is replacing his name, Jehovah, which many Bible versions do. When it was used for Jesus, they meant it as a sign of respect. Jesus came here not to be taught, but to teach and was highly respected by many. We can also see the use of the word Lord with Abraham and Sarah. Out of respect for her husband, she used the word Lord.

The title “God” is neither personal nor distinctive (one can even make a god of his belly; Philippians 3:19). And there are many forms of gods in this world. It can be an image of a deity; an idol of any deified person or object. When it is refering to that in the Bible, the word will be lower case.

The word God will always be capatalized when they are talking the one true God; the Supreme Being.

Answer 5

God is another name for Lord they are the same people.

Answer 6

As "Lover" and "Isabella" have said, both terms are titles.
I want to talk about the relationship to mankind each refers to.

When someone calls to the "Lord", they are putting themselves in a SERVANT position - "What can I do for you, my Lord?"

God is more cosmic. It infers power and intellect to create this world. God is awe-inspiring and can do anything. Some feel that makes Him too distant.

Jesus refered to the supreme being with a different term. He called Him "Father"
- You want to help your Father, so elements of "Lord" are in there already.
- A Father wants to help his children as well, so the power and wisdom of experience are there too.
- Father also includes great understanding of a heartistic relationship with us who He made as His children.
- I John 4:4 - 11 (not the Gospel) distinguish that God is a God of love, but Jesus' term, "Father" (or "Abba") already includes great love

Answer 7

There is no difference! There is are just different names for God. Like God, Lord,Emanuel,Noel etc. Its just that people thought of different names to call him.

Answer 8

His full title (one of them) is "The Lord God".

Answer 9

God is God. He is the Father of our spirits. The Lord refers to Jesus Christ, who is the only begotton son of God. This means he is his LITERAL son. Like your dad is your father. Jesus is the Lord because he was chosen by God to suffer and die for our sins. Jesus chose this role, as he was the most righteous.

Answer 10

G-d said, ''I am the Lord your G-d who has brought you out of the land of Egypt. You shall have no other G-d but Me''. So, you are referring to G-d and only G-d. G-d is One.

If I am suppose to mention the Christians' Jesus in here--he was just a man-------nothing to do with G-d.
