I believe in the Trinity. God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Any of the Trinity can be called Lord.

The opening of several versions of the Bible explain that they have translated the name of God LORD. In doing this they have at times distorted the Bible from our understanding the name of God as YHWH or Yahweh. If you look into the NT you will see that the word Lord is used because this tradition went back to the Greek version that they were using. Quotes from the Old testament do not make sense unless you put the proper name of God into them from the Old Testament.
Romans 10:9 ' if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart" would and should be understood as 'unless you confess Jesus is Yahweh....
Exodus 3:14-16 tells us it is His name forever to all generations.
I hope this helps a little.

EL, ELOAH: God "mighty, strong, prominent" (Genesis 7:1; Isaiah 9:6) – Etymologically, El appears to mean power, as in “I have the power to harm you” (Genesis 31:29). El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (Numbers 23:19), jealousy (Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of might remains.
YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – Strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

Depends how the word Lord is directed. But God does mean The Supreme God generally, but there are demi gods or servants who run the material creation under Gods supervision.Such as lord Brahma. But if ones intention is to the Supreme God and they say Lord or God, He immediately knows our intention. As you know in India and even England and other countries we say my lord to others or Prabhu. This is not saying they are lord or God, but it is a way of taking the humble position or being subordinate to others. Saying dear prabhu or my lord. Also the Guru or spiritual master is also prayed to as Lord such as Lord Jesus or Swami Prabhupada (Swami meaning Lord) So when we say God or Lord we mean Maha Prabhu or the great or Supreme Lord or God. Intention is significant.

Yes. For want of a better translation YHWH - or Yahweh has been traslated as Lord with capitals in our old testament. Ofcourse Lord is God the Father God of the old testament and is worshipped together with son, Jesus Christ along with the Holy Spirit as the Triune God of Christianity ( RC & Protestant and all denominations in between).

Actually Lord is the Hebrew is adonai. The Jews were so afraid of using God's name in vain that they would use adonai instead of YHWH. In fact we pronounce YHWH based upon the same vowel points used for adonai because the original pronunciation of YHWH was lost through the years.
As to whether they are the same depends on who Lord and God happen to be referring to in the context of the text you are reading. For instance Eph. 4:3-6 mentions One Lord and One God. The Lord here refers to the Son of God ,Christ Jesus. The God here, as pointed out in verse 6 refers to the Father.

Only occasionally for most of us.
God is the highest, noblest ideal. The Lord is that which governs your decisions. When you decide in favor of behaving in accordance to your God-ideal, then God is Lord. When you decide to act according to motivations or with an attitude (in "spirit") which is counter to your ideals then the Lord served is the "Lord of Darkness" and definitively not God.

Yes, no change is made in scripture. However if you notice sometimes it will say gods in reference to false idols or it will use lord in reference to an earthly king. Look for capitalization marks and other references around the passage to see if God or Lord is used in reference to God.

NO. To a Judge you say my Lord but he is not God.

'Conversion' is the Key 'word' of the Universe.
Life(man kind) is not possible on Earth, if there no conversions in the Universe.
The sunshine reaches Earth with drastic conversions.
The oxygen generation is because of conversions.
Your daily food takes due conversions.
The word god is common among people.
But the special is the one who is cause for the show of the Universe is different.
Elevation also is conversion here. The God, if he doesn't become your Father, the key misses here.
