From childhood I wanted to know the truth.
Not that I would follow it, I just wanted to know what life was all about.
We are born, we die.
There had to be more to life than what meets the eye.
Why are we here and where are we headed?
Is there a Creator? If so, does He really care for me?
Can I really know what my Creator wanted for me?
Was there a set of rules that would bring total joy to all of creation?
Now I see, now I know.
Would you like to know also?
Should your answer be yes, please take the time to visit this wonderful web site.
Do I look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just do things.
I think the modern day name we use to worship God doesn't matter atall. Aslong as your intentions and faith are towards the real one it makes no difference.
I always though "Lord" was a position of power, which is why we call God "Lord" because he is the Lord of Lords.
Saying we shouldn't call him lord is like saying we shouldn't call him king of kings, because kingship is a title for human leaders.
Just because we call God "King of Kings" doesn't mean we worship a human leader.
Just because we call him "God" doesn't mean we're worshipping Baal.
Aslong as this "God" or "King of Kings" was in Jesus and Jesus in him, and aslong as he's the god of the prophets of scripture.

Baal:"Ba'al" can refer to any god and even to human officials. The antiquity of the worship of the god or gods of Baal extends back to the 14th century BCE among the ancient Semitic peoples, the descendants of Shem, the oldest son of Biblical Noah. Semitic is more of a linguistic classification than a racial one. Thus, people speaking the same or similar languages first worshiped Baal in his many forms. The word Baal means "master" or "owner". In ancient religions the name denoted sun, lord or god. Baal was common a name of small Syrian and Persian deities. Baal is still principally thought of as a Canaanite fertility deity. The Great Baal was of Canaan. He was the son of El, the high god of Canaan. The cult of Baal celebrated annually his death and resurrection as a part of the Canaanite fertility rituals. These ceremonies often included human sacrifice and temple prostitution
