I do not belive the word of God is a secret code that has to be figured out, unlocked or decoded.
God is not a god of mystery, he is not a god of confusion.
He does not hide from us, but shows himself openly. He is like the morning star.
He's word is ment to be easy to understand.

I know Jesus talked in parables to people, but Jesus said this was done to fullfill prophecy.

I do not beleive you have to attend a University to learn the meaning behind God's word. I believe you just have to reach out and take the KJV, and read it.

Withe observation that Jesus Sends the Holy Spirit to indwell us, and to Open the scriptures to us. (John 20:22, Luke 24:45). "Theologians" can (and do) spin all sorts of doctrines which may or may not correctly reflect what the Bible says in it's entire context.

Letter shapes and spelling have changed. Print runs in the last 100 years (at the very least) use updated form and spelling.

Again, my KJV is most certainly not written in 16th Century English. I have never seen someone quote or even use a 16th Century Edition. What is your point?

I haven’t attempted to defend my point with, “Yes, it is” so your comment is baseless at best.

As I provided an explanation with that statement, implying that “Yes, it is” was the whole argument is disingenuous.

"Why do you think it contains words strange to modern readers like "wimples", "beesom", and "thou"? It was penned by scholars who were already adults by the time the 16th century turned into the 17th, so their language was from the previous."

Labeling a version as "written in the 16th Century" because of strange words is disingenuous.

Are you typing in tongues???

That would be something since I've never spoken except in one tongue. Well two if you accept limited Spanish with a gringo accent. I do a pretty good John Wayne impersonation. Would that count?

Here is John 3:16 in 16th Century English:

¶ For God so loued þe world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that
whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.

So what am I missing?

That is the original KJV. KJ onlyists often fail to mention that, though.

They will say nothing has changed when obviously much has...
