The bible is the Book of God. One God who calls himself the LORD.
It is divided into two testaments which are witnesses of his deity and humanity. The Old Testament bares witness to his deity by the prophets, Kings and Judges. The New Testament bares witness to this one Lord by his disciples, followers, and church.

The title ‘LORD’ is applied to Jesus over 500 times in the New Testament.

NB. The word LORD is capitalised in the bible because it refers to God and JESUS Christ. The one and self same being. (Philippians 2;11) ..that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
