The word Lord and the Bible
The bible is an English translation, yet the events take place in ancient Africa and Asia, therefore using a multi-lingual dictionary or concordance when studying can help to determine if the meaning of words have changed with the translations. The word Lord is an English word, it is a title not a name.
The meaning of the word Lord
The Bible is a translation of ancient text, the word Lord is an English word, it is not Hebrew, it is not Greek, neither is its origin African or Asian. The original meaning of the word is used to define the position or job of a human ruler.
The Lord God or God
The name of God or the Lord God is different. The ancient people identified God as the highest ruler in the land and at times the great spirits (or energies) that created the universe. The ancient names for the great spirit were Eloi, Allah or the Ka. The world Lord is always used to describe a human ruler or who is revered as the image of the Gods of Genesis 1.
