Searcher, If you are implying that if we "cheapen" the name of Jesus Christ by not using the term "LORD", you have missed the point of my original question. I firmly believe and acknowledge that Jesus is LORD of all - even of those who fail to acknowledge Him. Yes, one day "at the name (ie. the public declaration that Jesus as LORD of all) every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil 2:10,11) That was the response of Moses at the bush, Isaiah after he saw the glory of God, and John when he glimpsed heaven. And I am sure it will be the response of all, those who have repented of their sin and accepted Jesus as Saviour and LORD, and even those who have rejected the claims of Jesus Christ to be LORD of all (but for a very different reason - for them it will be too late to repent). I am not seeking to misteach anyone, nor to cheapen the meaning of the word "LORD", but to seek an alternative to a word for those who have little or no comprehension of its true meaning. Maybe the English language has cheapened the meaning of the word "Lord" in such places as the English parliament where the term is used to describe a sometimes questionable group of individuals! In answer to your second question, if one truly understands and begins to comprehend all that Jesus Christ has done for us, we are left with no alternative but to "bow the knee" to Him. The amazing thing is that He then (figuratively speaking) stoops down and lifts us up saying, "You are my brother/sister, come walk with me." What grace! What love to we who in no way deserve this from God. Those who claim the salvation offered by Jesus do well to better understand all that this implies and regularly bow the knee to the LORD Jesus, so that, as the apostle Paul reminds us, we do not become "carnal" Christians, the type John records Jesus as saying He will "spit out."

2 | Will worshiping the Lord change in Rev? | Deut 11:19 | Searcher56 | 175473 | ||
God's day to you, Fellow Pilgrim, I have a problem ... while He is our Brother, based on the fact He is THE Son of God (Matt 16:16ff, et. al.) and we are sons of God (Gal 3:26) ... and what He said (Matt 12:48ff) ... while we bow before Him in worship, He is our Lord. We do cheapen His Lordship if we think He will lift us up and say we are His brother/sister. I think about Esther. While the king was her husband, and I presume they were intimate ... she had to approach him as her king, not husband. He responded as king, not her husband (Est 4:15ff). God is many things, but if we forget He is our Lord, who has absolute rule over us ... we are in trouble. Searcher |

Searcher, Good day my brother. Romans 8:16,17-The Spirit Himself bears wittness with our spirit that we are chidren of God.17-and if children,heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,if indeed we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.(NASB) In the KJV I believe is translated joint heirs. Now before I go any further I will say this so as to avoid as much missunderstanding as possible, Jesus Christ is Lord,He is ,He reigns supreme.Nothing will ever change that,and when we get to heaven I do believe that truth will be obvious to all. As we read through the bible,particularly the New Testament we see a testamony of Gods people singular to most other religions of the world.2 Corinthians 5:20- Ambassadors for Christ, 1 Peter 1:29- A chosen Race,a royal priesthood,A Holy Nation,A PEOPLE FOR GOD's OWN POSSESION.Read the rest of this verse,talk about powerful,boy 'O'boy if this doesnt inspire and encourage everyone of us? For us to claim and believe what God Says of us does not cheapen his Lordship but honors and cherishes Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Fellow heirs in Romans 8:17 when taken in biblical perspective carries a lot of weight and meaning. Godbless you dear brother, lionheart |
