Raymond, a book that may prove helpful in this area is, Larry Hurtado. 'Lord
Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity.' (Grand Rapids,
MI/ Cambridge, UK: William Eerdmans Publishing Co, 2003) Hurtado deals with
these questions you are posing. Best regards,

Tony Costa

As best I can discover, Paul and John always called Jesus Lord and never
callled The Father Lord.  The only exceptions were OT quotes from the
Septuigent.  I would also note that the definite article was regularly used
which seems to identify Jesus as "The Lord".   The definite article was also
regularly used to identify The Father as "The God".  In their mind, it seems
to me, they considered Jesus Lord and Master and The Father "The God" or.

Son as "Lord".  However, he uses the definite article when referring to The
Father and omits it when referring to The Son.
