"The Lord" (with small caps usually used for the "ord" in "Lord")

With that in mind, reread "Christ Rose's" AI output regarding
the chapters in 1 Kings.
Do you see the problem?
Yes, envy boy (James 3:14-15; cf. Acts 13:45; 14:2). The problem is you
deny Jesus is YHWH (Lb|A-Cb|a).
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.
rCo Isaiah 45:23 declares that every knee will bow to YHWH. Paul
applies that passage directly to Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:9rCo11,
ESV).
rCo 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
10:9rCo13, ESV).
rCo Isaiah 8:13rCo14 presents YHWH as the stone of stumbling. Peter
identifies Jesus as that same stone (1 Peter 2:6rCo8, ESV).
rCo Psalm 102:25rCo27 speaks of YHWH as the unchanging Creator. Hebrews
applies that text to the Son (Hebrews 1:10rCo12, ESV).
rCo John identifies Jesus as the eternal Word who was with God and was
God, and through whom all things were made (John 1:1rCo3, ESV).
rCo Jesus Himself used the divine name for Himself: rCLBefore Abraham
was, I amrCY (John 8:58, ESV). The Jews understood this clearly and
attempted to stone Him for blasphemy.
So when 1 Kings speaks of rCLthe LordrCY 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 JesusrCO own method of
interpretation (Luke 24:27, ESV).
The real problem is not calling YHWH rCLthe Lord.rCY It's refusing to recognize that Jesus is YHWH revealed in flesh.

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (rCa), 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).
