If the scripture is written for our direction, why write it in code. Especially when the prize for figuring it out would be eternal life.
Why not just say what he wanted to plainly. Or better yet just appear to everyone. That would actually enhance the free will element as people would be making their decisions based on food information rather than on the strength of their code breaking skillz.
That explanation makes little sense to me.
Like ChadWooters said, the essentials are there for everyone to see in simple terms, after that it's your loyalty to God and yourself to see the deeper meanings.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
