HELLO PEOPLE
A very common statement that we hear is that "Jesus is Lord". So I am
taking the word LORD and turning it into a topic of interest. This is
the beginning of my study. I will be adding to as I go.
The word "LORD" is in the NEW TESTAMENT 570 times.
Down below you will find references to THE ANGEL OF THE LORD. The
ANGEL OF THE LORD, of course, refers to the ANGEL OF GOD.
Here is the meaning of LORD out of the Strong's concordance.
G2962
κύριος
kurios
koo'-ree-os
From κῦρος kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, that is, (as
noun) controller; by implication Mr. (as a respectful title): - God,
Lord, master, Sir.D
Below you will find the article from Wikipedia. And, yes, we must
believe that GOD raised Jesus from the dead. But you will also see
that they are supporting the NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN BIBLE reference.
KING JAMES
(Rom 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.
KING JAMES
(2Co 4:3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(2Co 4:4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(2Co 4:5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN BIBLE

INTERPRETATION AS A CREED
Various Christian sects have argued over how to tell whether one is a
Christian or not. They wrote creeds that acted as a sine qua non for
membership within the fellowship. The statement "Jesus is Lord" has
been described as the most basic Christian creed in existence.
Romans 10:9-13 of the New Testament Christian Bible says, "That if you
confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart
that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved." From
Matthew Henry's commentary on Romans Chapter 10 "The self-condemned
sinner need not perplex himself how this righteousness may be found.
When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon
him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean;
but Christ in the promise, Christ offered in the word. Justification
by faith in Christ is a plain doctrine. It is brought before the mind
and heart of every one, thus leaving him without excuse for unbelief.
If a man confessed faith in Jesus, as the Lord and Saviour of lost
sinners, and really believed in his heart that God had raised him from
the dead, thus showing that he had accepted the atonement, he should
be saved by the righteousness of Christ, imputed to him through faith.
But no faith is justifying which is not powerful in sanctifying the
heart, and regulating all its affections by the love of Christ. We
must devote and give up to God our souls and our bodies: our souls in
believing with the heart, and our bodies in confessing with the mouth.
The believer shall never have cause to repent his confident trust in
the Lord Jesus. Of such faith no sinner shall be ashamed before God;
and he ought to glory in it before men."[1]

Jesus is Lord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The saying "Jesus is Lord" serves as a statement of faith for millions
of Christians who regard Jesus as both fully man and fully God. It is
also the motto adopted by the World Council of Churches and by Kenneth
Copeland Ministries.
The term 'lord' applied frequently in Eastern Mediterranean regions to
local gods. In a number or Semitic languages the word for lord was
ba'al, and prophets in the Hebrew Bible frequently rebuked those who
worshipped 'Baal' or 'Baals'.

The statement "Jesus is Lord" has been interpreted to assert that
Christians should be involved in political process of their times.
During the first century the phrase Jesus is Lord was intended by
early Christians as a political contrast to the popular greeting
amongst Roman citizens—Caesar is Lord. This statement meant that Jesus
himself and the early Christians were seen as a political threat. In
the Roman world Caesar had come to view himself as Lord and was not
open to being challenged. The statement that "Jesus is Lord" in its
context was a statement that was viewed as political subversion, a
direct challenge to the prevailing establishment and therefore meant
that politics and religion were inextricably linked.
[edit] As a Worldview
The apostle Paul wrote, "We do not preach about ourselves, but we
preach that Jesus Christ is Lord and that we are your servants for
Jesus."[2 Cor. 4:5] It is a mindset imperative not only in
understanding the Christian story, but the very nature of truth
itself. Jesus is Lord goes beyond a mantra or political statement and
represents a worldview. Christians believe that there exists ultimate
truth, meaning and reality whether people choose to stand beside it or
not. It embodies an anchor in a world setting its mind on a
postmodernist worldview.
This statement also represents a strong inclination to the present as
indicated by the present tense. It also equates Jesus with eternal
sovereignty. As humans cannot exist in the realm of eternity,
Christians must deal and act in the present. C.S. Lewis stated,
"Where, except in the present, can the eternal be met?" Christians
believe the eternal can be met in the person of Jesus and it is here
that the need for truth and coherence is met.

(Mat 1:20) But while he thought on these things, behold, THE ANGEL OF
