I was praying something along the lines of this passage. Kinda talking about how divided the church is and so forth. What I believe was given to me was something along the lines of “bring me glory” and doctrine doesn’t come before God’s glory. At the end of the day it helps to remember the things that matter the most. Seek the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness.

I assume you are referring to me. Do you think that you can read my mind, in determining who I rely upon to glean the truths in the scriptures?
I have never read Calvin's writings, or any others writings, nor do I listen to TV preachers. The only preachers that I listen to are the ones that preach in the church that I attend, as a deceon, and I have been known to call to their attention of misinterpreted scriptures.
My only source of the study of the scriptures are the scriptures proving themselves in harmony, with the revelation of the Holy Spirit.

2: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This does not mean This does not mean to "devote time and attention to acquiring knowledge on (an academic subject), especially by means of books." Modern translations have this verse as "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (NIV); "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth." NRSVue; "Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately." NET Of course, there is no need to mention "unicorns" LOL
3: There is no basis for saying this. It is simply your opinion. I and many, many others disagree. I challenge you to prove that the antiquated KJV "contains the pure, correct words for English" (and don't you mean for the original languages?).
4: Saying "The current version of English is so watered down and not correct, slang at best" is meaningless. a) Which version is "the current version"? There are many translations. b) How are any modern translations "watered down and not correct"? c) "Slang at best"? Where do you find slang in modern translations? Your claim is silly. d) What are, in your opinion, "the correct words"?
Are you a scholar of ancient languages? Have you studied ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek? Have you served on translation committees? Do you have access to the earliest and best source documents? => I doubt it!!! <=
So please give a valid reason why you think that a 412-year-old version of the Bible, based on earlier translations and a limited set of source documents, authorized by a secular king to justify his rule and codify his personal brand of Protestantism, which has been modified many times over the centuries, is the word of God.

Between the first and 16th century, God was perfectly preserving his words. God never said that he would preserve his words in every language, only that his words would be preserved.

What is your evidence that "between the first and 16th century, God was perfectly preserving his words"? Are you claiming that God didn't preserve His words in the Old Testament? And did God give up preserving His words in 1599, 12 years before the KJV was created?
If you have real interest, just google "Biblical contradictions". There are lists. Some things are obviously "interpretation issues", but other things are obvious contradictions of fact. Are the contradictions of any importance? nah!! But they do establish that the KJV IS NOT "Perfect" verbally.
