Paul calls Jesus "the one Lord." What does this mean?

In episode 15, we saw why we can't take Paul to mean that Jesus is Yahweh himself. In this episode, we see what, according to the New Testament, it means for Jesus to be "the one Lord."

Sir Anthony Buzzard has helpfully covered Psalm 110:1 many times. See this blog post and this video, in addition to his published works. See also this discussion between Dr. Joe Martin and pastor J. Dan Gill, who also discuss Peter's use of this text in Acts 2, and other relevant texts.

The commanding voice of Paul in this and the last two episodes is Mr. Dominick Baldwin. Be sure to contact him if your business or church etc. is looking for a voiceover that makes Warf sound like a little girl.
