Would it be unusual to complete these two incomplete slogans with the same word?

[Boojatta]

First incomplete slogan: "Vengeance is mine", sayeth the ...

Second incomplete slogan: Jesus is ...

[Deep13]

1. Unusual? Yes.

In the first instance, the English word LORD, written in all caps, is a substitute for any of the names for the Old Testament god: Yahweh, Tetragrammeron, Eloi etc.

In the second instance it is simply the lower case English word lord and means what that word usually means.

[Boojatta]

2. Does correctly understanding English translations of the Bible ...

really depend so critically upon distinguishing between upper and lower case?

Are you sure that there's a uniform convention requiring capitalizing the whole word "lord" in all English translations of the Bible when that word refers to the God of the Old Testament?

If not, then we might need to distinguish between "lord" and "Lord", but if the word "lord" happens to be the first word in a sentence, then how can we distinguish between title caps and lower case? The first word is automatically capitalized, erasing the distinction between "lord" and "Lord."

3. And so it is written.

For English works in strange and mysterious ways.

[Deep13]

4. I can't speak for all translations...

...but "LORD" as a synonym for the OT god is all caps or, more likely, large and small caps. "Lord" with a capital L usually means JC, but the word has its common meaning.

They mean different things and the terms should not be regarded as interchangeable.

5. You got a source for that

because I'm calling bullshit.

So "you are the lord my god" means which one, exactly?

Oh, the silly dances people will do to make their myths make sense.

[Deep13]

6. Um, yeah, most English translations of the Bible.

My own copy which is an NIV translation from 1985 has a preface that explains just that.

Written that way, it can mean any god.

Dances? Now you've lost me. Anyway, they are not my myths. We were talking about linguistics, n0ot the merits of Christianity's factual claims. My own motivation in the matter is irrelevant to the analysis. Either LORD is a synonym for Yahweh or else it is not.
