Are God and Lord one and the same thing? Are they interchangeable?

    Also, Lord can be an honorific to a human, God cannot! :)

  • I like this one. God bless you sounds alright, whereas Lord bless you sounds like a lord in feudal era.

Not exactly interchangeable in all contexts.

According to Cambridge Dictionary

Lord

(in the Christian religion) God or Jesus Christ

God

(UK) (in some religions) the being who made the universe and is believed to have an effect on all things

(US) (esp. in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim belief) the being that created and rules the universe, the earth, and its people

So, Lord usually refers to God or Christ in an specific religion, it's used by christians to name their god or his son.

As pointed by Maulik V. Lord is also

A man of noble rank or high office; a nobleman.

In this case you can not apply the word God.

If you are asking about English translations of the Bible, you might want to ask this on a board about Judaism or Hebrew, as I think the answer is that those two English terms are translations of two different names used in the Bible
