It is not impossible that there could be some secret messages coded into the original text in the original languages.



However, it seems that most people have difficulty reading the (uncoded) Message which was put in the Scriptures. Probably this is for at least three reasons:



1) few of us understand the original Hebrew & Greek languages in which the Scriptures were originally writtel [surprise, surprise, they were not originally written in King James English!!]



2) few of us know a lot about the cultures of the times in which the Scriptures were written



3) For those who use the Authorized (i.e., King James) Version ... from the Internet it would seem that many have difficulty with the English language of 2006AD, let alone the English language of 1611AD.



But, thanks be to God, the Holy Spirit (the Author of the Word) does reveal the Message to those willing to read and to hear!!

There's a lot to be said for the fact that the King James version of the Bible was translated from Latin, which was translated from Greek, which was translated from Aramaic and a myriad of other languges that either don't exist today or exist in an entirely different form than they did when they were copied.



I think it has more to do with the lack of even translation making the KJV seem cryptic rather than a Davinci Code lurking.

Secret codes, which are encrypted into scripture, is not in the King James version, but in the original texts. What Newton worked on was "Texus Receptas", from which we get the King James version. Lot's of hidden codes being found there.

What most people don't come to terms with about the bible is that it has been written by man. After this, most texts were translated, re translated,so on and so on. On top of this, the bible had texts removed, added and altered. One reason I oppose some faiths of Christianity, is because pastors teach you to take the bible literally. (come on, do you really think Noah got a pair of each animal and put them on a boat? DON'T TAKE THIS STUFF LITTERAL. if you do you defeat some of the teachings) There are some really good things to be learned from the bible

Not really to be deciphered, but written in a style in which we no longer speak or write.



I do find myself going back to original text and finding the meaning of words at the time instead of our current meanings of words. Once I do this, its much easier to understand.



We have changed, the bible and its original wording has not.



As for if there are still mysteries to be revealed by God in his timing and not ours? Of course there are. If we knew and understood everything, we would either live in a state of perpetual fear, or non fear, depending on what was going to happen when and if it were going to happen before we died a fleshly death or after.

The tithe is an previous testomony theory. The tithe grew to become right into a call for of the regulation wherein all Israelites have been to grant 10% of each and every thing they earned—or the plant life and animals they grew—to the Tabernacle / Temple (Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5). Believers in Christ are actually not commanded to grant 10% of their earnings. each and each Christian could diligently pray and seek for God’s know-how as to how lots he or she could provide (James a million:5). many people have faith that the previous testomony tithe is a sturdy theory for believers to maintain on with. Giving 10% of your earnings decrease back to God demonstrates your thankfulness to Him for what He has provided and facilitates you to verify you have faith in God somewhat of on riches. The Bible does no longer in particular say whether we could constantly provide 10% off our gross or internet earnings. The previous testomony teaches the assumption of firstfruits (Exodus 23:sixteen; 34:22; Leviticus 2:12-14; 2 Chronicles 31:5). previous testomony believers gave from the superb of their plant life, no longer the leftovers. the comparable theory could word to our giving at present. back, a believer could provide what he believes God would have him provide. all of it is going decrease back to the attitude of the middle. Are we giving out of reverence for God or out of selfishness for our own wealth? “each and each guy could provide what he has desperate in his coronary heart to grant, no longer reluctantly or below compulsion, for God loves a joyful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

The King James Version is exactly what it states it is.



King James Version or his interpretation on how he wanted it to read.

Read it for what it is, Just a story book. There are no meanings in it other then just a good story to read. Then get you a copy of Islam and read it too. You will have to at some point get to wondering why you are reading this unbelievable stuff.

I think there are too many people making the Lord's word into what THEY want it to be.



I am sure that God did not intend to write a mystery book, intent on us seeking clues in HIs Word.



You either have the Lord in your heart or you don't -simple as that.

King James was either homosexual or bisexual. He wasn't straight, so the history books say.
