"Gino, KML, two
masters"
GOD and Jesus are one Lord. In a recent debate on this, I came
with this interesting coincidence. As coincidence is not a word
in Hebrew I believe this is significant.
I did a strong's search on the phrase "LORD, LORD" or two
masters (Kyrios, Kyrios). Here are the verses that came up, you
will see there is a similarity between them.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out
demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from
me, you workers of lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord,
lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I
do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the
day nor the hour. (Matthew 25:11-13)
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
(Luke 6:46)
25 When once the master of the house has risen and shut the
door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door,
saying, ‘Lord,[Lord], open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I
do not know where you come from. (Luke 13:25)
NOTE how everyone of these people claiming two masters, did not
know who the Lord was. Jesus is the Lord. Jesus is God.

Now Note also, how in the Old testament how many times "Lord
God" is used. "Yehovah Elohiym". A singular name with the
plural. This was always used referring to ONE GOD. And in the
New testament "Lord Jesus".

31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will
be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:31)
This is the belief that saves. "Therefore I want you to
understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says
“Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except
in the Holy Spirit." (1 Cor. 12:3)
Jesus Is the Lord.
