Most people try to read the Bible as they would read a novel. The Bible was written to give us instructions, not entertainment. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16-17) God gave us the Bible to be studied, applied to our lives, and prove God's will for us. "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:11)

      God is the author of the Bible: He wrote it through His servants. Knowing God makes it easy to understand His scriptures. When reading the scriptures, one must have the right attitude towards God. He must look for what the Bible says rather than search for support of what he thinks is right. One must read the Bible as though he were listening to God. "Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3:7) "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise." (Proverbs 12:15)

     As far as the spelling of words, the english is close enough that most anyone can decipher the meaning, i.e., labor, labour and color, colour and show, shew. The biggest help to a reader might be to understand the "eth" on the end of words. The "eth" means continuously (doeth, thinketh, believeth, and so on). In the case of do, doeth would mean to do forever, not just one or two times. The word "hath" simply means has. 

    Now, what about all the strange names in the Bible? Most folks do not understand what or who they are. A quick solution to this is to download a concordance. It gives the definition of every word in the Bible. I recommend Strongs from this site http://www.AnswersInGenesis.org/OnlineBible. They also have the Bible and a Bible dictionary to help the reader understand the scriptures.

     We must study God's word with reverence to get understanding. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15) Neighbor, If you study the Bible correctly, you will avoid confusion and find wisdom in God. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)
