The Greek word kyrios may indeed mean "lord" (boss) or it may be the standard Greek word used for the Old Testament YHWH, Yahweh, the personal name of God. For example in Romans 10:13 we read: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."<BR/><BR/>Since this is a quotation from the Old Testament, as simple look at the OT should convince one that Lord (kyrios) here here stands for the tetragrammaton, YHWH and does not mean "boss." <BR/>The issue then in such a passage is not that one is promising to obey Jesus as boss or "lord," but that one is approaching the Lord Jesus as YHWH, that is as very God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
