Yes, Lord was the word Lord which was adonai (I'm not checking spelling so don't get mad bra). LORD all capitalized was Yahweh, a word created by adding the vowels from the word adonai to YHWH so it could be pronounced as a title for God. When the bible was translated into english, they just used LORD instead of Yawheh because Yawheh is a hebrew word and a proper translation puts words into the english tongue, also the symbolism and deeper meaning of the vowels from a hebrew word adonai being added to YHWH would be lost to an english minded audience. That's why Yeshua became Jesus and Yawheh in some specific instances is now Jehova in english. Hebrew and Greek study are good to know, but we always must use the King James as the perfect translation and interpretation.
"Hear O Israel: YHVH our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4) And the Israelite Jesus confirmed the eternal truth, Mark 12:29 And Jesus again speaking the same truth at John 17:3 Looking to his God above the man Jesus declared: "Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." And the apostles all agreed with Jesus: "for us there is but one God, the Father, from Whom all things came and for Whom we live." (1 Corinthians 8:6) Seeing that, and holding it up against what you declared, who is right? Jesus and the apostles? or you?
Hebrews 1:5-8 "For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when He bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels He saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 KJV “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were ALL THINGS CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS were created BY HIM, and FOR HIM: and he is BEFORE all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:15-17 KJV
I read the scriptures. Father, Son and Holy Spirit were together in eternity past. No details in KJV of any of the three being created, just all three were. As the story unfolds God the Father, which to me is the only one God., speaks the Word. And the Word becomes flesh. Which is the Son born of a virgin, from Isaiah 7:14. The Son is born and speaks on behalf of his Father God. Not himself is God. The Son from eternity past is sent from the Father, to be the sin offering. John the Baptizer tells us in scripture, the Lamb of God. Not God the Lamb. John 3:16 states God sent his Son. Not God sent himself. Gods' Son tells us in John 8:42 his Father sent him. Jesus did not send himself. If God is the Son then what Son did God have to send? 1 John 5:10 (KJV) states - He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. This John is the same John that wrote John 1:1. The Son of God is divine but not God himself. The Son of God is divine because his Father God is divine. Scripture does not state how the All three came about in regards to eternity past. But the Son does tells us in John 8:42 (KJV) Jesus saith unto them, if God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. John 8:43 (KJV) - Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Jesus is God the Fathers' Son. Unless God has a Son there is no salvation. Salvation is a gift from God the Father. That gift is only received if you believe the testimony of God and his Son. What is the testimony? John 3:16 is one there are many. (KJV) John 3:31-36 John 3:36 - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

(Notice: not until the Son of God is crucified and resurrected that he is given ALL power in heaven and in earth. God the Father gave this power to his Son, not himself. God has All the power and gave to his Son Jesus. Because the Father gives All power to his Son, does that make the Son, God the Father now?) (KJV) 1 Corinthians 15:25 - For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

(go to Matthew 22:42-46 this is a funny moment. Jesus ask in verse 42, What you think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They (Pharisees) reply, The Son of David. Now recall why the Jews wanted to crucify Christ, was it because they believed Son of David? No. It's because the Pharisees did not care what was said to have Jesus crucified.) Yet people like to use the testimony of these same people to say, Jesus says he is God. Which Jesus never says in scripture. Back to Isaiah 9:6 from above . The mighty God, (go to Titus 2:13) I would say read Titus 2:11-15. Verse 15 the command given by your spiritual father Paul. (KJV) Titus 2:13 - Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Notice what Paul states in verse 15, whom you follow. (KJV) Titus 2:15 - These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Back to Isaiah 9:6 from above. The Prince of peace. (Go to Ephesians 2:14) (KJV) Ephesians 2:14 - For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Read (KJV) Ephesians 2:13-18 (KJV) Ephesians 2:18 - For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Who is Paul referencing in verse 18, "through him"? God or his Son? Or Both or all three Father, Son,Holy Spirit? (Go to John 10:9) (KJV) John 10:9 - I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (Go to John 10:7 if you do not know who is the door.)
John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Who's word became flesh, the Son or God himself? Who did God speak of to come? Himself or his Son? Is Jesus God?
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Jesus indicates he was simultaneously in heaven while he was on earth. 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one". The Word is a member of the Godhead. Jesus is all three parts of the Godhead bodily: Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus is The Word made flesh, and he's also the fullness of the Godhead bodily. This is my understanding, how does this sit with you? The Word had a relationship with the Father the same way we observe Jesus had a relationship with the Father. Doing the will of the father while creating the earth, never his own will, doing the will of the Father. As a man also the same relationship.
@@Gluemn What I just came to understand is Jesus in the flesh in the Son and the Spirit inside the flesh is God. John 3:13. I'm going to look into that because that thought you said regarding simultaneously has crossed my mind before, regarding Son of man in heaven.
@@HomeAppliance-d3m I went down that rabbit hole for awhile too trying to understand the flesh, soul, and spirit of God and us as humans. It seems like we are living dolls, God fashioned the flesh out of dirt for Adam and breath life into it THEN man became a living soul. As if there is a chemical reaction between body and spirit that creates the soul, but also there seems to be a distinct soul too that can go to hell or heaven once the body passes, so idk really how the soul is made of what it truly is. But we do have new bodies made for us after the resurrection, the soul still needs one whether you go to heaven or hell.

For your John 3:13 study, Jesus said in 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. Well someone up there was communicating with man at times in the OT, and in the 4 gospels the spirit of God descending like a dove and a voice from heaven said this is my beloved son, and there were people around to hear and see that.

Great lesson, thanks Grace Ambassadors.
I am very glad to have heard I Timothy 3:16 taught as a deity verse and not incorrectly as being about the body of Christ.
Very good Grace and peace❤

LORD and Lord (capital and lower case) that has to have significance??
Yes, Lord was the word Lord which was adonai (I'm not checking spelling so don't get mad bra). LORD all capitalized was Yahweh, a word created by adding the vowels from the word adonai to YHWH so it could be pronounced as a title for God.
When the bible was translated into english, they just used LORD instead of Yawheh because Yawheh is a hebrew word and a proper translation puts words into the english tongue, also the symbolism and deeper meaning of the vowels from a hebrew word adonai being added to YHWH would be lost to an english minded audience.
