    Have you noticed that in most Bibles there is two ways of writing the word lord.
    LORD (all CAPS)
    Lord (L Cap)

    If you have ever wondered why, or if you know why, or if you wanna know why, let's chat it out ;)

    Obviously there must be a difference worth the effort of typing LORD at times and Lord at other times...

    Regards :)

    You should read the forum rules as closely as your read your bible. You will see that bumping your own thread and post-padding are against the rules (that is forum speak for a sin)

    Fpg 2:9
    (That is for the FAQ / posting guidelines, Section 2, rule 9)

    Thou shall not bump thy own thread!

    Sometimes I call him SHAWN, sometimes, just Shawn. Hmm....

    [I do not mean any offense, just playing around with my helpful tips]

    the capitalized one refers to Almighty God, Yahweh, or the modern variant of Jehovah

    they made it into LORD since translators followed Jewish superstition not to pronounce or write the name of God. you can see a similar thing in the dead sea scrolls.

    The uncapitalized refers to Jesus

    The unfortunate thing about this is it confused peoples minds about the distinction between Jehovah and Jesus
