“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.
