  Biblespeak i can see clearly now Biblespeak
Biblespeak is a euphemism for a kind of discourse which frames concepts and language in highly Biblical or otherwise religious terms.
As a language like English, may be a vehicle for biblespeak, the use of religious metaphor carries an implied stipulation to biblical concepts, thus tolerating little inclusion for outside terms, such as those used in psychology for example.
In a sense, biblespeak is a metaphorical language in its own right, because it's heavily dependent on a source, such as the Bible as a common reference for concepts; often these concepts are metaphysical (spiritual) in nature, and find little meaning if translated to secular otherwise common terms.

 Biblespeak - meaning of word
In a sense, Biblespeak is a metaphorical language in its own right, because it's heavily dependent on a source —the Bible —as a common reference for its elementary concepts, which tend to be metaphysical (spiritual) in nature, and find little meaning if translated to secular otherwise common terms.
As a language like English language may be a ''vehicle'' for biblespeak, the use of religious metaphor carries an implied stipulation to Biblical concepts and dogma, thus tolerating little inclusion for outside terms —such as those used in psychology for example.
Hence Biblespeak is not considered a culturally ''neutral'' basis for communication.

This is a common feature of religious (for example biblespeak) where a religious text is often prerequisite to participating fully in a conversation the outsider such terms in such combinations likely seem esoteric or unintelligible.
When I received this profound statement of Sallie's Metaphors, I first concluded, "It's too deep for me!" Since I had finished my schedule of preaching to Prison Inmates, I'd lost my motive of reading heavy things on the Art of Preaching much less of read...

Next to a stone heap, they were lying on the ground kissing.
In biblespeak, stone heaps are usually phallic symbols.
And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed [prostrate] three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.

I tried reading some of the letters, but the idiocy seems to outweigh the worthwhile comments.
I don't know how that can be avoided short of censorship, but don't you tire of trying to counter "biblespeak" with logic?

 The Ten Commandments Film Review - Time Out Film
According to Jesse L Lasky Jr, he and his fellow-writers 'felt so inoculated with significance that we hardly dared write at all, certainly not with such profane tools as pencils and typewriters'.
The Ten Commandments sure isn't remembered as literature - the script is a sort of prose doggerel Biblespeak of unerring shallowness; or for its acting, with only Edward G Robinson and Hardwicke emerging as more than pawns in DeMille's vast game.
Rather it's the gigantic vulgarity, the obsessive righteousness of the director himself, which keeps the show on the road and suffuses the movie with its daft power.

It was a Cecil B Demille production from 1956, featuring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Vincent Price, Edward G Robinson and a cast of, well, Demillions.
The reviews may most kindly be described as mixed - "the script is a sort of prose doggerel Biblespeak of unerring shallowness," says the Time Out Film Guide, though no one could accuse poor old Cecil of not trying.
The orgy scene alone took three weeks to shoot, though memory declines to nominate which of the torrid ten it was intended to illustrate.

And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
“East” is biblespeak for heaven, because heavenly bodies rise from the east.

 The Garden of Eden
Air in biblespeak symbolizes the soul which gives man life when it enters into him.
Contradiction: In biblespeak according to Gen. 1:26, when God made man in "our" image, he was automatically infused with a soul.
If God made man in his image, then it stands that God looks like man complete with genitalia.
