"The lord" without capitalization is just a title for a certain rank of landed nobility. He would be the boss of all his peasant tenants.

From my assessment, 'Lord' can be used in a number of contexts, but when someone says 'The Lord', it usually has connotations of 'The lord our God'.
For instance in arabic 'Al' is used after divine attributes. Ali ibn Abi Talib a.s is called 'Ali', but Allah is 'Al-Ali' [The most high]. The is 'Al' in arabic.
We also have cases where Ali ibn abi talib a.s punished people who referred to him as 'rabbana' i.e 'Our lord'.
Though here in the UK, we have something called 'the house of Lords' where those in it are called 'Lords'. But i would never refer to them as 'The Lord' and even 'Lord' is unsettling.
But i see your point, it does have a wider meaning, but i think it's problematic and i just wanted to give the brother some friendly advise. He can take it if he likes, and i feel i needed to comment and will leave it as that with respect to him.

First they don't know English then they argue with a genius like me.

No hard feelings intended with the post brother, i know you probably intended the general meaning, but i just wanted you to be aware that 'the lord' might in the eyes of many be interpreted the wrong way.
No big deal though
Just wanted to bring it to your attention and leave it at that.
Hope you are doing well this Saturday! I for one think you should ignore those who try to mock your accent!
