Paul makes a complete distinction between one God, the Father, and one Lord, Jesus Christ. Look at Paul’s introduction in Chapter one, as in all his letters. Very plain distinction between One God, the Father and one Lord Jesus the Christ.
Throughout all of 1 Cor this is the pattern, such as the head of man is Christ and the head of Christ is God.
