“Lord” may not be a pagan title like “God” but it’s still ridiculous to keep as a principle designation for our Creator and Savior.
Why choose a medieval title? Why a British one? Why one that is distinct to a specific political and economic system?
“Lord” was a feudalistic title which became an English nobleman’s honorific and can now apply to a member of the parlament of Great Britain.
YHWH isn’t British. YHWH isn’t a feudal ruler. YHWH isn’t medieval. YHWH isnt and english noble nor a parlimentarian.
So why are we encouraged to be applying such a title as one of His principle designations?
If we are intent upon adopting and adapting names and titles for the Almighty and His Messiah why not something more close to home? Boss, perhaps? Manager? Director? Administrator?
There’s always Ruler, Sovereign, or King of course.
“Lord” is simply old fashioned, foreign, and oddly irrelevant. We might as well call the Most High the CEO, the President, or the Pope. Just because a title designates authority in a given area and sovereignty over a specific sort of leadership doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for repurposing as the staple for all true religion, everywhere and everywhen.

Thought for Today: Sunday August 24
The way we live often speak louder than words. People may tell us they do not believe the Bible – but they cannot deny it’s power as they see it changes our lives, guide our decisions, and influence how we live. Ask YHVH to rule in your heart, and remake you within into the person He wants you to be. Then ask Him to help you be sensitive to those around you who may be successful on the outside, but inwardly are empty and confused, so that by your life and by your words they may discover the joy and peace that comes from knowing the Moshiach.

Outlook and attitude make a difference. When we look for the end of the world, we will see it, when we search for the top of the world we will see that as well. Are you looking for the end of the world or do you want to see the best the world has to offer? 1 Kings 3:13, “Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.”

Saxsons also has a history of the name evolving from Issacs sons
( just stating some info)
Why would one feel neccessary to attack the english language or allow it to be so offensive?? There is so much more we can do. Why try and focus on a name "YHWH " when HE has deliberetly allowed it to become obscure But has preserved perfectly without any argument within many languages HIS name "Yah"
The reason why "Lord" is excepted to me, is because it is referring to someone with authority or power. Yah is the one in highest authority and power, therefore he is our Lord. The people in parliament are called lord because they have authority over a area in government. In the middle ages, even the wife would call her husband My Lord or Lord ______ , we are the bride of Yeshua so again, he is our Lord. It is polite.
Now im not saying Lord should take place of the name of GOD. But the Bible Does not say to not call him lord. Actually on the contrary it says to call him father, and by his name. And i may add, in Mathew Yeshua said, if David calls YAH, Lord, then how is he his son? Even the greatest king of all Israel calls G-d Lord. One of the words for lord in hebrew is adoni and you will find this in many places in the bible referring to Yah. So it is not an issue it call Yah, Lord. Its actually is respectful and honoring if you speak english.
