1 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Fellow Pilgrim | 175330 | ||
The statement "Jesus is LORD" was pregnant with meaning bacause the Roman citizens knew the meaning behind "Caesar is LORD" (the provider of all that was good - security, wealth, expansion of empire, peace, etc). To use the term "God" or "LORD" is not appropriate today. What I am looking for is an alternative that is as simple as "Jesus is LORD" without the need to take 10 minutes to explain what the term meant in AD50 and today. Any other offers? | ||||||
2 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Searcher56 | 175360 | ||
God's day to you, Fellow Pilgrim, Let me add to the excellent posts. Our Western world has dumbed down many words, and continue to do so. On lord, we don't have anyone who has absolute rule over us and our choice is to obey him without question. He provides and takes away, as He did for Job. It is interesting that when people say they feel His presence, they don't fall to the ground and bow before Him ... my view of worship. When a judge enters/leaves THEIR courtroom, all rise. They are in charge, tho some try to debate the judge's rule. Searcher |
