Obviously it was not God's purpose to do it that way. God has his own purposes that the Bible tells us and we are not the bosses. We are as a speck of dust and must believe God's ways are not our ways, and are infinitely higher than our ways. The Bible tells how God chose certain people to create the nation of Israel and through that nation to communicate his written revelation, the Old Testament. Then through that nation, Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem lost mankind. We must learn what all that means. It is not a democracy where the created being tells the Creator how things should be. It is not a political system. The first principle is to accept there is a divine Creator and accept His written word, the Bible as the final authority on all matters of faith and morals. Then learn what it says and go from there. I believe the King James Bible is the authoritative word of God in the English language because it is based on the Received Text which are the copies of the original manuscripts.
