   Yes, envy boy (James 3:14-15; cf. Acts 13:45; 14:2). The problem is you   
   deny Jesus is YHWH (Lᴏʀᴅ).   
      
   Scripture identifies Jesus with YHWH, not apart from Him.   
      
   The Old Testament uses the divine name YHWH. The New Testament   
   explicitly applies YHWH texts to Jesus.   
      
       • Isaiah 45:23 declares that every knee will bow to YHWH. Paul   
         applies that passage directly to Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:9–11,   
         ESV).   
      
       • Joel 2:32 promises salvation to those who call on the name of YHWH.   
         Paul applies that promise to calling on Jesus as Lord (Romans   
         10:9–13, ESV).   
      
       • Isaiah 8:13–14 presents YHWH as the stone of stumbling. Peter   
         identifies Jesus as that same stone (1 Peter 2:6–8, ESV).   
      
       • Psalm 102:25–27 speaks of YHWH as the unchanging Creator. Hebrews   
         applies that text to the Son (Hebrews 1:10–12, ESV).   
      
       • John identifies Jesus as the eternal Word who was with God and was   
         God, and through whom all things were made (John 1:1–3, ESV).   
      
       • Jesus Himself used the divine name for Himself: “Before Abraham   
         was, I am” (John 8:58, ESV). The Jews understood this clearly and   
         attempted to stone Him for blasphemy.   
      
   So when 1 Kings speaks of “the Lord” establishing the kingdom, ruling,   
   judging, and exercising covenant authority, it speaks of YHWH. And the   
   New Testament reveals that YHWH is fully revealed in the Son.   
      
   The Bible does not present two Lords competing for identity. It presents   
   one God, revealed progressively, and finally revealed in Jesus Christ.   
      
   Failing to read the Old Testament through the light of Christ does not   
   protect biblical fidelity. It rejects Jesus’ own method of   
   interpretation (Luke 24:27, ESV).   
      
   The real problem is not calling YHWH “the Lord.” It's refusing to   
   recognize that Jesus is YHWH revealed in flesh.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
