106) "Jesus is Lord" means Jesus is NOT God - a podcast by William Schlegel, Preston Macy

In Romans 10:9 the Apostle Paul states that part of salvation depends on a person confessing with their mouth that “Jesus is Lord”, or the “Lord Jesus”. 

This episode aims to show that, contrary to traditional Christianity’s belief, to claim that “Jesus is Lord” (or the “Lord Jesus”) is NOT a claim that “Jesus is God”. 

Rather, when the Apostle Paul, like other writers of the New Testament,
uses the title “Lord” for Jesus, he differentiates Jesus from
God.

 Another way to state this truth: in his epistles Paul uses the title God for God (the Father alone), and the title Lord for the human person, Jesus the Lord Messiah.

Time stamps:

00:01 Introduction: LORD or Lord? There are many people in the Bible who are Lord, but are not God.

 

03:12 The titles “God, Father, God the Father, God our Father” : All of God or just one member
of God?

 

05:13 Does
the Apostle Paul use the title “Lord” for Jesus to equate Jesus with God, or distinguishing Jesus from God. Paul never uses the title “Lord” for God.

 

07:31
An example from Peter, Acts 2_36, “God made Jesus Lord and Christ”

 

09:00 Romans 10_9 “Jesus is Lord”. Romans 15_6 “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus”

 

12:06 First Corinthians 8_6, “As for us there is one God, the Father…and one Lord, Jesus Christ”

 

21:24
More examples of “Lord” meaning that Jesus is the Lord Messiah, not the LORD God, 2 Cor. 1_3 and Ephesians 1_17

 

23:00 Other biblical authors who distinguish between God and the Lord Messiah Jesus: James
1_1, 2 Pet. 1_2, and Jude 1_25. The Gospel of John never refers to God as Lord,
except in 3 places where the author directly quotes an Hebrew Scripture passage
that contains the name YHVH.

 

26:42 Summary and Challenge.  Jesus is the Lord Messiah, not the LORD God.
