According to Strong's Concordance (which isn't purely without prejudice) the following are the definitions of Kurios, and Theos.

KURIOS, Strong's #2962: He who is "In Charge" or "In Authority." The Supreme Authority (for a specific realm of influence).

THEOS, Strong's #2316: As a figure of speech, "A Magistrate" or a "Supreme Divinity." or "godly" (like GOD or an Image of GOD or one of the "Children of GOD) or even GOD (However, GOD is only listed as a choice, because GOD  has Godly qualities, is Divine, and is also Supreme, but God is not the only one with those qualities). Strong's Concordance only lists God as a last choice, because anyone that has received GOD's Holy Spirit or Righteous Character has GOD like qualities; and The Messiah certainly has Godly qualities. As a matter of fact all of YHVH's "Chosen Few" (elohiym or Godly Children) can be referred to as a Theos.

Note: The Eternal "Self Existent" GOD (YHVH) can only be implied with 100% certainty when both Kurios and Theos are used simultaneously, as in "KURIOS-THEOS." The conjunction 'and' (between Kurios 'and' Theos) is not sufficient enough to confirm YHVH as the subject.  Only when"KURIOS-THEOS" is used in this exclusive "Side by Side" format is YHVH positively identified as the subject. and not His First Appointed Son, Messiah Yahshua, except with one futuristic exception. And that future date occurs only after Messiah's throne (The Kurios-Theos Seat) is actually set (appointed or established) inside "The New Jerusalem" (The seat of Yahweh's Throne) at the sound of "The Last Trumpet". This is explained in more detail later; However it is enough to know for now that the Title of Kurios-Theos will be a future "Appointed Position" for the one who will sit in "The Appointed Seat" with the appointed title of "Kurios-Theos". It is a grave error to assume that Messiah Yahshua already sits in the appointed seat prior to "The Second Coming"; Prior to now, now, and until then, Kurios-Theos is YHVH's Title over The Earth and everything in it. This future appointed position in no way makes Yahshua into YHVH nor does it prove that Yahshua is YHVH. Yahshua will always be YHVH's spokesman. In other words, YHVH's Proxy to the world.

 And while Messiah is both a Kurios, 'and' also a Theos, he is not a "KURIOS-THEOS"  Yet!
There are zero examples of the Messiah ever being referred to as "KURIOS-THEOS" anywhere in the Apostolic writings, except in a future tense at or during "The Second Coming".

Moreover, when you see "Lord God" in English, this does not indicate "KURIOS-THEOS" either (as is shown in Jude 1:4), because Jude 1:4 actually indicates "Lord of GOD" meaning a lesser title than "LORD GOD." "Lord of GOD" is translated from "despotes theos" and not "kurios theos". Despotes actually indicates a servant or a slave; thus "Despotes Theos" should be rendered as "Servant of GOD" or "Servant of YHVH".

According to Strong's Concordance:

Jude 1:4 actually says, "For there are certain men, who (secretly) crept in unawares; who were before of old ordained to this condemnation. Ungodly men, turning the grace of our GOD into lasciviousness, and denying GOD's Servant, our Lord Messiah Yahshua". Here we find "Lord" to be Strong's #1203 (Despotes, which could, also, be interpreted as "Master of the House"). "Despotes Theos" is not "KURIOS-THEOS" (the 'Side by Side' form), thus we are not presented with the positive indicator of YHVH, but with YHVH's Magistrate or proxy.

The Tanakh's (Older Testament) use of "Yehovah Elohiym" as "LORD GOD" is even more specific than "KURIOS-THEOS," since YeHOVAH (Jehovah) is a well known title for YHVH; The Self-Existent or Eternal GOD.
 If Elohiym (Strong's H-430, El-O-Heem), is used all by itself it could simply indicate a Magistrate of or proxy for GOD; A Godly (Righteousness Seeking) person.

I wish to make it fully understood that we, The Bnei HaMashalim, do not wish to promote the use of the word "GOD" in any form to indicate "The Eternal Father" or the use of the lower case "god" to indicate those who serve GOD or those who are His children, as this borders on pagan polytheism. However, in order to reach those coming out of christopaganism, we do so in order to promote Righteous communications using their own terminology.

Christopagan Is a legitimate term that is used on the web to indicate the blending of pagan religions with the Greek term for "Anointed" (christos) that has been used almost exclusively to indicate IHSous or Jesus Christ, and those (trinitarians or binitarians) that worship Jesus Christ as GOD (YHVH). However, you may not find it within the covers of a dictionary printed in a Christian Society.

At first glance the less knowledgeable would immediately jump to an untrue conclusion, and ASSUME that "My Kurios and My Theos" must be God (YHVH). However, one must not only look at the context of the chapter, but one must make sure that John's statement about Thomas is entirely in agreement with ALL Scripture. After all, YHVH's inspired word is not chaotic, but harmonious (if properly translated and understood).

Note: Satan (source of human nature) has created a veil or scales over the eyes of Christians, Nazarenes, Trinitarian, Binitarians, and Messianics among others. This veil leads them to approach their study of Inspired Scriptures and Inspired Apostolic Writings from a pre-conceived Pagan Greek (Babylonian Mystery Religion) perspective. That veil being that Jesus (IHSous) is GOD. Well folks, Greeks, Romans, and Hellenized (pagan) Jews did NOT write down the original "Inspired Words" of YHVH. Inspired Hebrews did, and not for one second did Moses, King David, King Solomon, the prophets or any of the Apostles (etc...) ever once believe or ever make the statement that YHVH (GOD) was more than ONE or a combination. Therefore YHVH's Inspired words must only be studied from that Inspired Hebrew perspective.

The very first thing that MUST be understood is that Thomas had doubts that Messiah had actually risen from among the dead. However, AFTER he discovered that Messiah was still alive, he immediately (mentally) applied to the Messiah what he had previously been taught would be the Messiah's New Titles. Thomas knew beforehand that Messiah Yahshua would be GIVEN ALL (Supreme)AUTHORITY over Mankind and over The Earth (Ephesians 1); BUT Authority does not make anyone into GOD; Not even Messiah Yahshua! In order to be God, you must be "Self-existent," and Yahshua (Jesus if you must) is not self-existent.

So what about the word "Divinity?" A "Divinity" is anyone with a "Divine Nature"(not human nature). Of course, YHVH is "Divine" but so is Yahshua, as are ALL of YHVH's Heavenly Hosts! (Heavenly Hosts does not refer to celestial stars, but "The 24 Elders [Rev.4:4]". "YHVH's Righteous Messengers, elohiym, "Chosen Few" or Angels, etc. ).

So what about the descriptive word "Supreme?" Again, since YHVH placed Yahshua into his position of having YHVH's Supreme Authority, as YHVH's Supreme Magistrate ("Right Hand Man"), then Yahshua welds all the authority that YHVH will allow him to have; and according to the Apostolic writings, Yahshua acts on behalf of YHVH (as His Proxy) with all power and authority. This is no different than a military General acting on behalf of the President of the United States, except that the Messiah can be trusted with YHVH's awesome power, and a mere human General cannot.

Ephesians 1:19-23
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His (YHVH's) power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of His might
20 which He (YHVH) worked in Messiah, when He (YHVH) raised him from among the dead, and made him to sit at His right hand (AS His Supreme Magistrate and Proxy) in the heavenly places,
21 far above all (Earthly) rule, and (Earthly) authority, and (Earthly) power, and (Earthly) dominion, and every (Earthly) name that is named, not only in this (Earthly) world , but also in that (Earthly world) which is to come (promised land or New Jerusalem).
22 He put all (Earthly) things in subjection under his feet (Authority), and gave him to be head over all things to the assembly (the True Worshippers),
23 which is his body (Marriage partner or Bride), the fullness of him who fills all in all.

There is one very common error that most people tend to make, and that is to assume that True Statements are, also, true when applied in the reverse order. And while it is sometimes true, it is rarely true.

True Examples:
(1) Black is the opposite of white, and thus white is the opposite of black. (TRUE)


(2) The Righteous are like YHVH in Spirit, and thus those like YHVH in Spirit are Righteous. (TRUE)



Untrue Examples: (These are "FALSE" relationships)

(1) All cows are animals, thus all animals are cows. (FALSE)

(2) God has supreme Authority, and thus all who have Supreme Authority are God. (FALSE) Yes, this is absolutely false.

(3) Messiah Yahshua sits on the Right Hand of YHVH, and thus YHVH sits on the Right Hand of Yahshua. (FALSE)

(4) YHVH is Divine, and thus all Divine beings are YHVH. (FALSE)

(5) God has a Spiritual IMAGE, and thus those with God's Spiritual IMAGE are God. (FALSE)

Can anyone truly look upon the face
of
YHVH
and
live?

No!
