God doesn't talk like that, and if he did talk to you he would use langue that you would understand. not "thee", "thy" "thou"and thine.
Funny you should mention that. Years ago I had a friend named "Animal". One day Animal was talking to an alleged "prophet" who was making his prophetic pronouncements in 17th century English. After a while, Animal stops the guy and says "Can't your God speak plainly? Can he not comprehend Standard English of the modern day? I'm only asking because he seems not to be very well versed in 17th century English, either!" ROFLMFAO!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
