What about "LORD" & "GOD"?
It should also be pointed out that the Hebrew term "Baal" means "lord", and is the supreme male divinity of the Phoenicians/Canaanites and several other of the Middle Eastern deities. So calling on "the Lord/LORD" would mean calling on any of any one of the demonic "Baalim", including one of the most popular, Baal-Ga(w)d [i.e. "GOD"], which the Israelites were led astray by, as Isaiah shows:
Isaiah 65:11 But ye are they that forsake YAHWEH, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for GOD, and that furnish the drink offering unto MENI.
GOD, from the Hebrew [גד] G-D, was first transliterated in our English bibles as "GaD", but pronounced "Gawd", from which we get "GOD". Obviously if our Bibles were properly translated, this gross injustice would be blatantly seen, and everyone would realize that YAHWEH, The Heavenly Father, the MightyOne of Israel, and "GOD", are two different entities! The name "GOD" is a derivative of a term meaning to invade and attack, which in turn stems from a word meaning to cut, thus the meaning of "GOD" is essentially Divide and Conquer.
It is also noteworthy that the English etymology of "GOD" traces to ancient Sanskrit, meaning to invoke by incantation, magic, and to cut or mutilate. So both the English and Hebrew roots of GOD have the same underlying connotation of Division.
It may not make a difference to some people, but it does to Him, and in the Judgment, it will to you too! Everyone is accountable!
Who is GOD? There was an angel that divided the angelic host (Rev 12:4) and tried to elevate himself to a position of worship, invading heaven itself.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [Isa 14:12-14]
The fallen angel "Lucifer" is the one that divided the angels and invaded heaven, thus acquiring the name Divide & Conquer, i.e. GOD, thus deceiving the whole world (Rev 12:9). Lucifer is the GOD of this world!
That this was a popular deity around the Samaria region is attested to the fact that there is a major city dedicated to this Baalgad, a.k.a. "Lord-GOD". (Joshua 11:17, 12:7, 13:5) So it would seem that the practice of substitution, as mentioned in Rivista BiblicaI applied to more than just the tetragrammaton, going so far as to putting the name of the deity "GOD" in the place of the Hebrew term "Elohim", which means "MightyOnes". So not only was the eternal name of our Heavenly Father replaced by "Baal", or "the LORD", Elohim was in turn replaced with the Hebrew name, GOD, the name of the demonic entity, Lucifer!
Lucifer, having acquired the name meaning Divide & Conquer, i.e. GOD, may have failed in ousting YAHWEH off His heavenly throne, but through his perverted influence and manipulation of men has succeeded in replacing YAHWEH with his own name in YAHWEH'S own Word, so that the world inadvertently praises Satan.
