I mean no disrespect with this question, I am simply confused by this. I have heard Jesus called our Lord, and I have heard him referred to as the son of the Lord. Which one is it?

He is both.
He is the Son of the Father.
Both of them have the same essence (that essence being Deity), but they are not the same person.

Hello Lillygirl, i don't know how you are going to find the truth here - it's difficult to explain, and the true understanding is usually given through the Spirit of God Himself. I have read all the answers and if my belief counts for anything I'd say BERT has given you the clearest answer - you have some brilliant answers, but BERT has given the best Scriptures from the Holy Bible, that cannot be denied. Ask God to guide you to understand as you read the answers.
If i can add: Some of those who disagree are Jehovah Witnesses - they have a different Bible: moises, lover of Jehovah, purple triangle..
Blessings : )
EDIT: A question for 'lover of Jehovah' - you say no-one has seen God -- why then did Jesus say to His disciples "If you have seen ME you have seen the Father"?

Even Jesus asked his own apostles this very question. Matt 16:13-16 Jesus asked Who are men saying the Son of man is? 14 They said: Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, other Jerimiah or one of the prophets.15 Jesus said to them: YOU though, who do YOU say I am? 16 In answer Peter said: You are the Christ, the SON of the living God. 17.Happy you are because flesh & blood didnt reveal it to you, but my Father who is IN THE HEAVENS DID.
To back that up let the Father answer your question for you Matt 3:17 This is my SON the beloved whom I have approved.
Let the scriptures answer your biblical questions not man. (for you will get a Much better answer.)
If your bible doesnt have Gods name in it then If you look in the Old testament if LORD is capitalized its talking about God Almighty if its in the new testament and Lord has only the first letter capitalized its talking about Jesus.

Jesus is our Lord and Savior. God's King designate. He is God's Son, "the first born of all creation"

Jesus is a part of God, but his body is full of God. Get it?
A glass full of water is not the whole pitcher but it IS FULL of water.
Being God as a human he is the Son, but he is God as a human.

No disrespect taken. Jesus is the Son of God. Please look into your copy of the Bible in Matthew 3:16 & 17, cross reference is Luke 9:35.

He is both. I'll give you Scripture references.
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Ex. 3:14
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Jn. 8:58
God can't lie. Titus 1:2
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, in whom I AM well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. Matt. 17:5-6

jesus was god manifested in the flesh. he was the physical son of mary.he was fully god/fully man.i say this because he was conceived of the holy ghost not human ways. as such, he the son of god(human) and the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is really both.
there is God the Father who lives in heaven, God the Son (Jesus) who died on the cross for our sins and God the Holy Spirit who lives in us once we except Jesus as our Savor.
All together God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit make up the God Hear or Elhoem that means (The House of the Tree Strong Ones).
