A fair point, though we should remember that the Lord is called by plenty of names in the KJV: LORD, Jehovah, Yahweh, Jealous, God, I Am, Jesus, King of Kings, and many more.

Here's a handy list.

Of course, readers of the KJV might have a somewhat easier time of equating "El-Shaddai", "Elohim", "Adonai", "Jesus", "Lord", and "Jealous" with "God" than the average Ebonics reader.


Bible boring? Nonsense!
Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!
You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!
