I dont know if I should laugh, cry, facepalm or do all 3.
Laugh! :p I found a link that explains what we're seeing here, it's typical of the followers of Ruckman and, even more so, Gail Riplinger.

ChosenByHim recommends Gail Riplinger's New Age Bible Versions ->http://christianchat.com/album.php?albumid=10135

This article is by people who love the KJV, but they don't think that it "corrects errors
" in the Hebrew and Greek.

http://avpublications.org/articles/reason-for-exposing-gail-riplinger.pdf

We heard some teachers proclaim that any person who doesn’t know English would have to learn it to read God’s word since it was preserved only in English, in the KJV. We heard people who taught that the original Greek was no longer relevant and that the English of the KJV corrects the original manuscripts. How amazing and miraculous all this seemed to be.

Riplinger’s hostility and unrepentant spirit seemed contagious. We found that it had passed to some of her most loyal followers. We were amazed and saddened to see that so many people (on the Internet, in some churches, on radio programs) not only believed what she had written in her books but they also defended her to the point of willful contention with others, even though most of them admitted that they had not checked her work for accuracy. Some used vile four-letter words against those that calmly and lovingly told them about the errors in Riplinger’s books. How shocking and unbecoming of people who claim to follow Christ and His example.

Taking place on the Internet was a lot of “bashing” of those who chose not to use only the King James Version. There were some who made “another gospel” of their belief that the King James Version is the only Bible, and anyone who did not believe as they did were “doomed to hell.” The precious shed blood of Jesus Christ and belief in Him for salvation was no longer enough. One had to also read only the KJV, or else. It had become Jesus Christ plus the KJV and in some cases, the KJV was held more important that Jesus Christ. The unloving words did not even remotely resemble Christ-likeness. It was a dark area. Some plainly told others to “go to hell” because they did not believe that God had declared the KJV as the only Bible.

What Riplinger has done in New Age Bible Versions is wrong. False teaching is poison in the church. God’s people—many of them unwary—are being taken. There were people in our former church who trusted her with the best of intentions, but they did not bother to check her claims for validity. Instead, they wanted us to leave. Defending Riplinger took priority over a prevention of church division. Defending Riplinger was more important than defending truth

After all we had found, we were a bit surprised when we read Riplinger’s claim that it was God who wrote New Age Bible Versions and that she was just the “secretary.” It is the height of blasphemy for anyone to give God credit for anything that is a lie. Scripture is CLEAR that God cannot lie.

She mentions her credentials on book covers and at her web site. Yet, they don’t accompany a salvation testimony. When did she meet the Lord Jesus and become born-again? Isn’t this more important than all the credentials and honoraries a person might collect in life? Is not one’s relationship with the redeemer more precious than all our earthly collections and accomplishments? Why not make one’s salvation testimony as public as one’s honoraries and degrees?

Wouldn’t a Christian author want her readers to know her personal Christian testimony, before anything else? More than in what college she taught classes? More than how many secular textbooks she published? Earthly recognition is not necessarily bad, but it shouldn’t take precedence over proclaiming how one knows they have a relationship with Christ.

Unfortunately, some who defend Peter S. Ruckman as a pastor, although he has also been divorced twice, also defend Gail Riplinger’s divorces, despite Scriptural refutation for both. Riplinger’s current marriage is surrounded by suspicion because the court records show it took place less than two months after the second divorce.

It seems that Riplinger is willing to lie about whatever she needs to, to get what she wants, to preserve self, to keep things going her way. The fact is, her own demonstrations show that the truth is not her main concern. They go beyond a belief that the King James Bible is supreme. She has defrauded many people through the dishonesty of her books and by hiding a past that would have disqualified her scripturally.

I read your explanation and I believe that you and Stephen Shutt are promoting paganism, and you are not even a Christian.

It IS Pascha not Easter!


Easter is the right translation Praus.


Pascha today can refer to a number of things, but one of them is Easter.


Easter in Latin is Pascha

Easter in Hebrew is Pesaḥ פֶּסַח

Easter in Greek is Paskha Πάσχα


They sure are quite similar now aren't they Praus?

Easter in English is Easter and Passover in English is Passover.

John 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (KJV/PCE)

On Easter in Greece they say Χριστός Ανέστη (Christ has resurrected) because they they're real Christians, not KJV-onlyists.

Prov 6:16-19 ¶ These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Praus, like I told Graybeard already, this objection about the translation of Pascha as easter has been answered many times already. But you guys who deny absolute Final Authority will pull at anything you can to justify your rejection of God's Final Written Authority. The Standard of Absolute Truth is the Authorized King James Bible. The evidence points to the Authorized King James Bible as being God's absolute Perfect Standard of Written Truth. There are both external and internal witnesses showing God's hand of supernatural providence on this Book of books.

The bottom line is that the King James is a decent bible translation but contains some minor and well understood transnational errors. To claim it is inspired by God is ludicrous. Even so now their is a cult following of the KJV that even claims it is inspired by God.

It is too bad that the KJV has become an idol to some of these cult members.

Danschance the real bottom line is this. God has kept His wonderful promise to keep and preserve His pure words. And they can be found in the Authorized King James Bible.

The King James Bible does not have any translational errors at all. It is the preserved, pure, and inspired word of God.

A translation can be inspired. If you don't think so, then check out this link:
