The word Lord and the Bible
The word Lord appears in the English bibles but it is a translation from the word Greek word Kurios, and Hebrew symbols YHWH, Elohim, and Latin word Adonis. Using a multi-lingual dictionary or concordance when studying can help to determine if the meaning of words changed during translations. The word Lord is an English word; that initially was a title not a name.

The name of God or the Lord God is different. The ancient people identified God as the highest ruler in the land and at times the great spirits (or energies) that created the universe. The ancient names for the great spirit were Eloi, Allah or the Ka. The world Lord is always used to describe a human ruler or who is revered as the image of the Gods of Genesis 1.
