1. "There is no commandment which says "thou shalt not lie"

The eighth commandment is “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” which means do not lie.

2. "...and why are you writing in an archaic dialect...?"

Two reasons:
a) The quote itself contains archaic dialect.
b) Many translations of the Bible are written in archaic dialect.

Hopefully you can follow this....

“No it doesn't. It means you must not bear false witness against your neighbor. That means you can't lie about what your neighbor has said or done. It doesn't say anything about not lying about anything.”

Yes it does, just ask any Christian or Jew especially a pastor/priest/rabbi. Jesus said your neighbor is anyone around you.

“That’s a fair answer.”

I acknowledge the tip of the hat ;)

“Which ones? I only know of one that is still regularly used: the KJV. It's an archaic dialect, used by many (including "Dr." Richmond) to give it the veneer of gravitas, which is phony.”

Such translations include Wyclif (both early and late), Tindale, Coverdale, Matthew, Whitchurch, Taverner, Becke, Geneva, Bishop, and Douay Rheims...in addition to King James.

Also, the gravitas of the Bible is not a veneer. Sacred Scripture is actually an important, weighty matter!

“Oh, I can follow just fine, thanks.”

Glad to hear it!

The only thing I’m genuinely concerned about is whether I’m guilty of Bible worship. Upon a very brief moment of reflection, I realize this is inaccurate.

Everything else is white noise.
