D-42 WHAT Does 2 Corinthians 3:17 TRULY MEAN?
***What Does 2 Corinthians 3:17 TRULY mean?
Here is 2 Corinthians 3:17 from the KJV. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
Does 2 Corinthians 3:17 PROVE that the Holy Spirit is the THIRD LORD of a Trinity LORD as some Trinitarian Christians CLAIM?
In other words, does this verse of Scripture prove that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that there is One Lord made up of three separate persons called Lord the Father, Lord the Son and Lord the Holy Spirit?
Notice that other verses of Scripture clearly teach us that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was MADE Lord and MADE a quickening Spirit, according to Acts 2:36, John 5:26,27, and 1 Corinthians 15:45.

What Does 2 Corinthians 3:17 TRULY MEAN?
Is the Holy Spirit the THIRD LORD?

How Can ONE Lord be the THIRD Lord?
To me, the THREE in ONE BEING is NOT sound Biblical teaching!
For you see, even THINKING Trinitarian Christians would ever say that the Holy Spirit is the THIRD GOD!
Let me explain HOW it came to be that I did this Verse Study on 2 Corinthians 3:17.
One of my readers sent me a Trinitarian article that caused some doubt in her that the ONE TRUE God is ONE God in ONE person, who is the FATHER.
Basically, she asked the questions, “Does 2 Corinthians 3:17 mean that the Holy Spirit is ALSO Lord, as in, the THIRD Lord of a Trinity Godhead as some Trinitarian Christians claim?” by asking my opinion concerning a Trinitarian article she had read.
In other words, a dear sister in our Lord Jesus Christ sent me a quote from a Trinitarian devotional book that she was reading and she asked me for my thoughts.
But very few Christian books openly warn you that you are about to read a “Trinitarian” book.
Here is that quote from that Trintarian book. The emphasis is mine.
What I highlight in green is done in order to show or point out the MISLEADING words in the following Triniarian article.
Sorry, but my Google websites do NOT KEEP the HIGHLIGHTING of words and phrases highlighted in colors when I copy and paste my studies onto my website.
And I have not found the time to RESTORE all of the highlighting one word at a time.
It was faster just to add the READ links to send my readers to my Google Docs page where I originally wrote my Bible studies.
You can click on the RED title to be able to SEE the highlighted words and phrase in different colors such as ORANGE referring to Yahweh the Father, YELLOW referring to Jesus during the day of his flesh, light BLUE referring to TRUTH and the now GLORIFIED Jesus, and GREEN to show emphasis, false teaching, error, and misleading words and phrases.
Here is that first Trinitarian quote that was sent to me.
“‘The LORD’ is the most common way of referring to God in the Old Testament. When written in capitals, this word translates the Jewish covenant name for God, *YHWH*.
Out of respect for God, Jews do not use the word. Historically, we have often pronounced the word as ‘Jehovah’, when in fact it sounds more like ‘Yahweh’.
When the Old Testament was first translated into Greek (c.250 BC) the name *YHWH* was translated as *Kurios* (the Lord). This translation is then reflected in the New Testament.
The New Testament gives us a more Trinitarian understanding of ‘The LORD’.
It makes the remarkable claim that *Jesus is* *the Lord*. In fact, whether someone can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ becomes the test of Christian authenticity (1 Corinthians 12:3).
It also makes the claim that the Holy Spirit is Lord: ‘Now *the Lord is the Spirit*, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom’ (2 Corinthians 3:17).
God the Father is Lord. God the Son is Lord. God the Holy Spirit is Lord.
But there is only one Lord: ‘One Lord… one God’ (Ephesians 4:5–6). The one Trinitarian God is Lord. The New Testament understanding of the Lord helps us interpret the Old Testament use of ‘The LORD’.
The Old Testament enriches our understanding of what the New Testament means when it speaks of ‘The LORD’.”
First of all, WE will be made lords just as Jesus was MADE Lord after the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36.
Secondly, the Hebrew word for “Lord” in the Old Testament is “adonai” and NOT Yahweh.
The word “Lord” is a TITLE like the word “God” is a TITLE.
Now, I do not know of any verses of Scripture that say Lord Yahweh.
The phrase, “the LORD our God” should be translated “YHWH our God” or “Yahweh our God”.
Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:4 in Mark 12:29,30.
Mark 12:29,30.
“And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: (Or more correctly translated, the first commandment is Hear, O Israel, Yahweh our God is one Yahweh)
Mark 12:30. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, (Or more correctly translated, and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart or with all your spirit) and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.”
Thirdly, the word “Lord” in the Old Testament that is NOT in all capital letters can refer to a man as being a lord.
And thus, there are MANY lords and MANY gods just like 1 Corinthians 8:5,6 clearly teaches us.
But to us, as Christians, there is ONE God, the FATHER, and to us, as Christians, there is but ONE Lord, Jesus, ANOINTED.
And fourthly, out of the 728 times that the word “Lord” is used in the New Testament, it is only written in ALL capital letters as LORD five times.
And in one of those five times, found in Revelation 19:16, the WHOLE sentence is written in ALL capital letters.
Revelation 19:16.
3
“And he (Speaking of the now GOLRIED highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus) has on his vesture and on his thigh a NAME written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Now, the second word “KINGS” and the second word “LORDS” in all capital letters is referring to us as Christians who will be MADE to become “kings” and “lords” under and subject to Jesus our King and our Lord.
But what SOME Trinitarian Christians have not seen and understand YET is that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was MADE a King, a Lord, and a God AFTER the cross and resurrection.
Some Trinitarian Christians have not yet been TOLD the Jesus is also UNDER and SUBJECT to the ETERNAL King,who is the LORD and God of Jesus.
And according to Revelation 3:12, Philippians 2:8-11, and the PROPHECY in Isaiah 62:2, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN a NEW NAME that is ABOVE every other name.
Please read the two part study called D-23. WHAT is the NEW NAME of Jesus? Part 1.
Now, as far as the other four times that the “title” LORD is written in ALL capital letters in the New Testament, the Greek title for LORD is referring to Yahweh.
Three of those four verses are found in the gospels of Matthew 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:42.43, and one is found in Acts 2:34-35.
So, let us go ahead and read all four of these verses of Scripture.
In Matthew 22:44, as well as the other two gospels Jesus and his disciples quote the PROPHECY in Psalm 110:1.
Matthew 22:44.
“The LORD said (Or Yahweh said) unto My Lord, SIT You (Or come and SIT you) on MY right hand, TILL I make your enemies your footstool?”
4
Mark 12:36.
“For David himself said by the Holy
Ghost, The LORD said (Or Yahweh said) to My Lord, SIT you (Or come and SIT you) on My right hand, TILL I make your enemies your footstool.”
Luke 20:42,43.
“And David himself said in the book of Psalms, (Psalm 110:1) The LORD said (Or Yahweh said) unto My Lord, SIT you (Or come and SIT you) on My right hand,
Luke 20:43. Till I make your enemies your footstool.”
Now, in all three of these verses of Scripture, Jesus himself is quoting the PROPHECY in Psalm 110:1.
And a “prophecy” is the FORETELLING of a FUTURE event that Yahweh said that He would PERFORM or bring to pass.
And the PROPHECY in Psalm 110:1 was FULFILLED after the cross and resurrection, when Almighty God RECEIVED His ONLY BEGOTTEN Son up into heaven and SET him on His throne at His right hand side to be the Lord of the Sabbath during the world to come.
Therefore, that was only ONE Yahweh in ONE person in the eternity past.
For you see, The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in Acts 2:36, along with many other passages of Scripture, that Yahweh MADE the Son of MAN to BECOME His Lord under and subject to his Creator AFTER the cross and resurrection.
So then, let us now read Acts 2:32-38 to get some CONTEXT.
Acts 2:32-38.
“This Jesus (Speaking of the Son of MAN, Jesus) has God (Speaking of Yahweh has) raised up, whereof we all are WITNESSES. (Witnesses of WHAT? John 1:18 says, and they beheld his GLORY as of the only BEGOTTEN Son.
And they were NOT witnesses of the BIRTH of Jesus.
But rather, they WITNESSES the GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus, after he DESCENDED back down to the earth in the evening after ASCENDING to his God that morning when God BEGOT him from the DEAD to be made in the IMAGE of the Father, the FIRSTBORN of every CREATURE.
You see, Hebrews 2:5-10 teaches us that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was found WORTHY to be CROWNED with GLORY and HONOR and to RECEIVE POWER, according the Revelation 5:12)
Acts 2:33. Therefore, being by the right hand of God EXALTED, (In other words, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was EXALTED by his God and Father TO BE by the right hand of his God) and having RECEIVED of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear. (In other words, it PLEASED the Father that ALL of the FULNESS of the Godhead or the fullness of DEITY, should now DWELL in the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be MADE Yahweh’s Lord and Christ.
Also, Almighty God, the God of Jesus, MADE His human Son a QUICKENING Spirit. And that means that God GAVE Jesus all power and AUTHORITY to use POWER in the NAME of Yahweh, who is the Holy Spirit)
Acts 2:34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, (Or David PROPHESIED in Psalm 110:1) The LORD said (Or Yahweh said) unto My Lord, SIT you (Or COME SIT) on My right hand,
Acts 2:35. UNTIL I make your foes your footstool.
Acts 2:36. THEREFORE, let all the house of Israel KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God has MADE that same Jesus, (Speaking of the Son of MAN, Jesus) whom you have CRUCIFIED, both Lord and Christ. (For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was not actually made the Savior until AFTER the cross and resurrection. Yes, Jesus was called Christ BEFORE the cross, but the Greek word translated as Christ ALSO means ANOINTED.
So then, BEFORE the cross, Jesus was ANOINTED with a PORTION of the Eternal Spirit as Yahweh’s helping hand to EMPOWER His HUMAN Son, Jesus. And it was AFTER the cross and resurrection that it PLEASED Yahweh to GIVE the FULLNESS of His COUNTENANCE to His human Son to be MADE His Lord.
And God did that so that an EXALTED CREATURE would rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME of Yahweh during the world to come WITHOUT having any WARS.
For you see, God’s plan is for an inferior creation of God, the FIRSTBORN of every new creation of God, to rule and reign over the whole earth having no wars for 1000 years.
And that 1000 years of Jesus ruling as God over the earth will CLEAR Yahweh’s name from being polluted and blasphemed by His ENEMIES, Satan, and the Fallen angels or fallen gods.
Notice that the Scriptures say that Jesus will rule UNTIL the end of the 1000 years in the world to come.
And then, Jesus will step down from ruling as Lord over the earth and commit the ruling of the Kingdom back into the hands of his LORD and Father, according to 1 Corinthians 15:22-28)
Acts 2:37. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the NAME (Speaking of the NEW NAME) of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
So then, in the LIGHT of the Son of MAN, Jesus, being MADE Lord by his God and Father, then, to me, it is DECEIVING for Trinitarian Christians who KNOW this truth to argue that the New Testament makes remarkable claims that Jesus is LORD, as in, THE LORD Almighty God Himself.
But yet, the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that Jesus is made in the IMAGE of Almighty God the Father. And now, WE are being formed by God into the IMAGE of Jesus. So, being in the IMAGE of Jesus does not make us to be Jesus himself.
Let us read that Trinitarian quote again and we will cover the other verses that they reference as their so-called proof text. Again, the emphasis in mine. And this time I will add some of my comments in brackets.
“The New Testament gives us a more Trinitarian understanding of ‘The LORD’. It makes the remarkable claim that *Jesus is* *the Lord*.
[Yes, it is remarkable FACT that God MADE His human Son a Lord over the whole earth, but that is NOT a so-called “Trinitarian” understanding of Yahweh in the Old Testament.
For you see, Isaiah 44:24 clearly teaches us that Yahweh was ALONE and by Himself when He ALONE created the heavens and the earth.
And thus, there was NO My Lord in the eternity past as Trinitarian Christians CLAIM]
In fact, whether someone can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ becomes the test of Christian authenticity(1 Corinthians 12:3).
[Yes, EVERY knee will bow down to the NAME , speaking of the NEW NAME that God GAVE to His human Son after the cross and resurrection.
So, yes, even the angels will bow their knees and confess that Jesus is Lord TO the GLORY OF Almighty God the Father who MADE the Son of MAN, His Lord to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
But that does NOT mean that Jesus is Yahweh Himself in the flesh as Trinitarian Christians CLAIM]
It also makes the claim that the Holy Spirit is Lord: ‘Now *the Lord is the Spirit*, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom’ (2 Corinthians 3:17).
God the Father is Lord. God the Son is Lord. God the Holy Spirit is Lord. But there is only one Lord: ‘One Lord… one God’ (Ephesians 4:5–6).
[Yes, and Ephesians 4 verse 6 clearly identifies the ONE God as being the FATHER.
Also, many other passages of Scripture, such as 1 Corinthians 8:6 clearly teach us that the ONE God is the FATHER and the ONE Lord is Jesus Christ.
And Jesus is NOT the Father. Therefore, the Lord is NOT one and the self-same person a the LORD in all capital letters]
The one Trinitarian God is Lord. The New Testament understanding of the Lord helps us interpret the Old Testament use of‘The LORD’. The Old Testament enriches our understanding of what the New Testament means when it speaks of ‘The LORD’.”
I was shocked when I first read this Trinitarian article. For you see, I used to be a Trinitarian Christian.
I was shocked because even as a brand new Trinitarian Christians I KNEW that the word LORD in the Old Testament was Yahweh and the word Lord in the Old Testament could be referring to Yahweh or it could be referring to a lesser Lord or lord.
So, to me, the last paragraph in the Trinitarian article above is very DECEPTIVE to imply that the word Lord means THE LORD.
Now, I did not put any comment in brackets after the Scripture reference 2 Corinthians 3:17, because that is what this study is all about.
For you see, this particular Trinitarian article is CLAIMING that 2 Corinthians 3:17 means that the Holy
Spirit is the THIRD Lord in a Trinity ‘Lordhead’, so to speak.
Let us read that quote again, but by itself this time.
“It also makes the claim that the Holy Spirit is Lord: ‘Now *the Lord is the Spirit*, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom’ (2 Corinthians 3:17). God the Father is Lord. God the Son is Lord. God the Holy Spirit is Lord.”
First of all, it does not say “the Holy”, Spirit, but rather it says the spirit, which is NOT capitalized in the King James Version.
You will see what I mean when we read 2 Corinthians 3:17 in its CONTEXT to learn its TRUE SOUND Biblical meaning in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
2 Corinthians 3:6-18.
“Who also has made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. (This is the SUBJECT under discussion in this entire passage of Scripture.
In other words, where there is keeping the Law of Moses in the spirit, which is keeping faith in Jesus and NOT in the letter of the Law of Moses, there is LIBERTY.
And the Lord is THAT spirit of keeping the Law of Moses. And where the spirit of the Lord is there is LIBERTY)
2 Corinthians 3:7. But if the ministration of death, (Or if the attending to the things that bring death) written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: (In other words, the Law of Moses was added UNTIL the Messiah came.
And, now, the keeping of the Law of Moses with the “spirit” of keeping the LETTER of the law is no longer accepted by God for RIGHTEOUSNESS.
To say this another way, the glory of the Old convent has been done away.
And now, God GLORY is His WORKMANSHIP, His Lord of GLORY.
So then, we also see that the SUBJECT of the CONTEXT of verse 17 is the GLORY of Yahweh’s COUNTENANCE on the FACE of Moses is being COMPARED to the GLORY GIVEN to the Son of MAN, Jesus.
In other words, the GLORY of Yahweh is His NOW GLORIFIED human Son, Jesus, whom He MADE Lord)
2 Corinthians 3:8. How shall not the ministry (Or the attending to the things) of the Spirit (Or having the spirit of the law written on our hearts) be rather glorious?
2 Corinthians 3:9. For if the ministry of condemnation (The keeping of the Law of Moses to the LETTER of the law) be glory, much more does the ministry (Or the attending to the things) of RIGHTEOUSNESS (In the Lord keeping the spirit of the Law of Moses) exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians 3:10. For even that which was MADE glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. (In other words, the GLORY on the face of Moses which was MADE by God’s countenance does not even come close to the now GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus.
Can you not see that the SUBJECT of this whole passage of Scripture is the spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS and not the keeping of the LETTER of righteousness.
And that SPIRIT is the Lord Jesus ANOINTED. And where there is that SPIRIT of being made righteous by God in His Savior, there is LIBERTY)
2 Corinthians 3:11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious.
2 Corinthians 3:12. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2 Corinthians 3:13. And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2 Corinthians 3:14. But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which veil is done away in Christ. (In other words, the hidden things written in the Old Testament are revealed to those saved in Jesus Christ.
But the unsaved cannot correctly understand the Scriptures)
2 Corinthians 3:15. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
2 Corinthians 3:16. Nevertheless when it (The hearts of the unsaved) shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. (The Bible itself teaches us that Jesus is the WAY to the Father.
And the ONLY way to the Father is by faith in His Son Jesus as the END of the Law of Moses for RIGHTEOUSNESS)
2 Corinthians 3:17. Now the Lord (Speaking of KEEPING faith in Jesus for salvation) is that Spirit: (Or more correctly translated, is the spirit with a loser case “s” and NOT the Holy Spirit) and where the Spirit (or the spirit) of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY. (In other words, in the SAME way where there is the spirit of MEEKNESS there is LIBERTY or freedom from pride and BOASTING)
2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the GLORY of the Lord, are changed into the SAME IMAGE (Of the INVISIBLE God) from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Now, to me, this last phrase “by the Spirit of the Lord” should be capitalized.
To me, the words “the Lord” refer to Jesus. For you see, after the cross and resurrection, Almighty God the Father, the God of Jesus, GAVE His human Son the FULLNESS of DEITY to be having in himself.
So then, the ORIGIN or the SOURCE of the Spirit is Yahweh, the Creator.
And thus, “by the Spirit of the Lord” could also be understood as meaning, by the Spirit of Yahweh, the God of Jesus.
The Bible clearly teaches us that there is but ONE Spirit and God is that Spirit who is the FATHER, according to Jesus himself in John 4:23,24.
John 4:23,24.
“But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that
worship Him must worship Him in Spirit (Or worship Yahweh in spirit, the spirit of righteousness in Jesus) and in truth.”
In other words, the Father seeks to be worshiped by those in whom His Holy Spirit DWELLS, because no man can enter the Kingdom without being BORN-AGAIN.
And since there is only ONE Spirit and the ONE God is called the Father, then the ONE Spirit is the Father.
Please read the study called M-5. WHY the HOLY SPIRIT is the FATHER?
Also, please know and understand that Jesus is NOT a spirit, according to Luke 24:39.
Luke 24:39.
“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has NOT flesh and bones, as you see me HAVE.”
And thus, since Jesus is NOT a Spirit, then what does 1 Corinthian 15:45 mean, when that verse says that Jesus is made a quickening Spirit?
Again, KEEP verses in their CONTEXT! How can Jesus be the ETERNAL Spirit who has no beginning and SPIRIT is the source of all life, when the CONTEXT itself of this verse says that Jesus is the FIRSTFRUITS?
Now, we already talked a little about this verse at the beginning of this study when reading the CONTEXT of Acts 2:36 in verse 33.
So then, let us go ahead and read Acts 2:33 again.
Act 2:33.
“Therefore, being by the right hand of God EXALTED, (In other words, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was EXALTED by his God and Father TO BE SEATED by the right hand of his God) and having RECEIVED of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.”
In other words, it PLEASED the Father that ALL of the FULLNESS of the Godhead or the fullness of DEITY should now DWELL in the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be MADE His Lord.
To say that another way, God MADE His human Son a QUICKENING Spirit, which means that God GAVE Jesus all power and AUTHORITY to use the POWER of Yahweh, who is Spirit, to make alive from the dead and give eternal life to whomsoever the Son judges to be worthy to receive eternal life.
Another way to put this is the FLESH profits nothing, or the keeping of the LETTER of the Law of Moses profits nothing, because it is the Spirit who gives LIFE.
Please read John 6:63.
“It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life.”
In other words, the gospel of salvation is the POWER OF God, in that, God, who is Spirit, will PERFORM His spoken words.
It is NOT the words themselves, but rather, it is the Spirit who PERFORMS His words to give LIFE.
And NOW, after the cross and resurrection, the Son of MAN, Jesus has been GIVEN all power and authority to be MADE a quickening Spirit for the purpose of FINISHING the word of Yahweh, the God of Jesus, according to John 4:34, John 5:36, John 17:4, John 19:30, and Hebrews 12:2.
So then, the God of Jesus GAVE His human Son, the Son of MAN, Jesus, SOME power and authority by the Eternal Spirit who DWELLS in him PARTIALLY.
For you see, according to Matthew 28:18 and many other verses of Scripture it was AFTER the cross and resurrection that the GLORIFIED Jesus was GIVEN power and authority from his God and Father.
And that was when it PLEASED the Father that the FULLNESS of the Godhead or the Deity BEGAN to dwell in the now glorified Son of MAN, Jesus.
But during the days of his FLESH, the Son of God could do NOTHING of himself, according to John 5:22-27, and John 14:10.
Now, the CONTEXT of Jesus being MADE a quickening Spirit also teaches us that Jesus will STEP DOWN from ruling over the whole earth and COMMIT the kingdom into his Father’s hands.
Please do NOT misunderstand what I am saying. Jesus will always be Jesus after the Millennial reign of Jesus.
Jesus will still have eternal life and all of the blessings that come with being a Son or daughter of Almighty God.
The only difference that I can see is that Jesus will no longer be God over the earth after the 1000 year reign has ended.
For you see, the JUDGMENT of God will be FINISHED or accomplished, Satan and the fallen gods will be destroyed in the lake of fire.
And all of the humans who CHOOSE to obey the LYING god of this PRESENT world and REJECT God’s salvation in Jesus, will also be destroyed in the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment.
Now, God MAY set us all as rulers over other planets in the Universe. Or we all MAY remain BEFORE Yahweh’s throne for all eternity. Or we might be free to travel and explore the entire Universe.
But FIRST, we must be found WORTHY to hear the words of Jesus say, “Well done my good and FAITHFUL servant ENTER into the JOY of your Lord.”
So yes, Jesus is Lord to the GLORY of THE LORD who alone is Yahweh the Father. And Jesus is NOT the Father.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
