Bible Note: Greetings Truthfinder! My friend, you say that you agree with what they actually wrote, but what they actually wrote in the New Testament is 'kurios'. There is absolutely no Greek manuscript support for anything other than 'kurios'. As far as the Old Testament is concerned, I just want consistency. We don't speak Hebrew, so we our Bibles are translations. So, one could take several approaches. One could translate 'YHWH' as LORD. One could translate 'YHWH' as 'Yahweh' or 'Jehovah'. Or, one could simply transliterate the tetragrammaton as 'YHWH'. I really don't care which one, as long as a translation is consistent in their approach. But, as far as the New Testament is concerned, they wrote 'kurios' when quoting the Old Testament passages containing 'YHWH'. If you disagree with that, where are the Greek manuscripts which containing any other reading - not Hebrew manuscripts, but Greek ones, since that is what the NT was actually written in.
