S...,
An ancient Hebrew salutation for G-d.
That is a typical commentary from someone who is not informed; maybe this will help to enlighten you so you will not make the same mistake again;
The Temple Institute: Articles: Why do we leave out the "o" in G-d?
[FONT="]Why do we leave out the "o" G-d?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A Note About the Spelling of G-d's Name
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Why do we leave out the "o" when referring to G-d?According to Hebrew tradition we do not write out the Creator's name in any language, unless as part of a printed book which we know will be preserved with dignity and treated as holy. Refraining from writing out His name is a sign of reverence and awe for the Creator. If this name were to be written out and then, the paper on which it was written would become lost or destroyed, or even if it was brought into an unclean place, this would be showing disrespect and it would be a desecration of His name.[/FONT]

l'm saying that Jesus who is the one God was talking to the Father which is the same one God. God is not bound by our constraints, he can be God in heaven at the same time he is God in flesh on earth. Both are the same one God or else there are 3 God's which I don't believe and I'm sure you don't either. 
That is a different point than the one in contention; Where else in scriptures was Christ speaking to Himself?
Yep Sir, being Fallwell in fundamentalist group, he used KJV but not the stance of most Baptists preachers then. Later promoted NKJV.
In so far, the 1689 Baptist Confession of faith believe about the scriptures is given by the inspiration of God. Scripture is given by inspiration of God = KJV, I think.
Here's another: The first ABS
The American Bible Society was founded in 1816 by people who were committed to the word of God and to the end of slavery...
The American Bible Society used the King James Bible, and indeed starting in 1858 appointed committees to be sure to avoid any textual corruption.[SUP][4][/SUP] The American Bible Society provided the first Bibles in hotels and the first pocket Bibles for soldiers during the American Civil War. The first translation by the Bible Society was in 1818 into Lenape of Delaware, a Native American language.

Sure I can know your understanding of truth from the KJV. I know that you and almost everybody else on this forum including the KJV onlies don't believe every word for exactly what it says.
When a person (not necessarily you) says the word "hate" doesn't really mean hate, you just tripped over the stumbling block God laid for you and you have absolutely no ability to understand the spiritual concept and spiritual gem that was hidden there.
So yeah, I can know that your version of truth will vary very greatly from someone who believes every word as written. You already know this yourself... your beliefs don't line up with mine.

Of the approximate 600,000 men that God delivered out of Egypt, only TWO of those were allowed to enter into the land flowing with milk and honey - milk and honey representing the milk and meat of the word of God.
For those that don't know, those Israelites were saved. They were covered by the blood of the lamb. Now apply that shadow to the church. Out of all the believers who are saved and covered by the blood of Jesus, a very very small few have or will enter into the promise land.
Just saying... Whatever the bulk of "Israel" today is saying and doing, is NOT what you want to be doing if you want to enter the promised land.

Compare the 2 translations below, do they say the same? Is one correct and the other in incorrect?
Matthew 4:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
Matthew 4:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:8 New International Version (NIV)

When you say "compare 2 translations..." then the goal is to compare them to underlying text, not to each other.
As you said, we are not comparing two doctrines, two teachings, two thoughts, but two translations.
Also, its very likely that on some places KJV will be better translation than NIV. It proves nothing extraordinary.
