If you use the manuscript that was put out by scribbner then the Kjv will match perfectly. It does not match the majority text or the textus receptus. It was translated from the Kjv to the Greek. It does not match any other manuscript in the world. Don't listen to me , I am not a Greek Hebrew scholar. James White is. He talks about the manuscript in his debate on YouTube that took place in England. He is wearing a bow tie if you are interested in watching it. I would link it but I am using an iPhone right now.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord [are] pure words, [as] the silver, tried in a furnace of earth, fined sevenfold. (1599 Geneva)

In case your curious who "wins" this scholarly debate: it's not the KJV-onlyists as you would guess from the desperate "mystical, phantom bible" type of comments.

do you believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God? If you say yes, then could you please tell me which Bible it is that you profess to believe in? ... Or is the bible that you believe in just a mystical, phantom bible? You know, like the one that James White and Doug Kutilek have.

This video is by Will Kinney, his CC username is brandplucked and he was the originator of this thread.

Matt 3:10 And now also is the axe put to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (1599 Geneva)

We know he's a false teacher, otherwise he would still be here with us instead of banned from Christian Chat. Why post one of his videos to CC forums the very next day?
:confused: Why call it "good'? :confused:

And I start to think that one very important and very satanic cause of KJV-onlyism is actually promotion by closeted homosexuals who hate Christianity, hate Christians, and are literally trying to dissuade Christians from understanding Jesus Christ by compelling them to use a Bible that it's difficult for them to understand.

No, Will Kinney is a genuine teacher of the Bible Version Issue. He knows what he is talking about. He has done extensive research and documentation exposing the false bibles out there. False bibles such as the NIV, ESV, NASB, HCSB, etc. Just about all the modern versions produced since 1881 are Roman Catholic Vatican versions. And that is an irrefutable fact.


And by the way Praus, just because someone gets banned does not make the information that they have invalid. There are a lot of people who have gotten banned. And I am sure there are a variety of different reasons for each one.

I don't think either you or Will Kinney are Christians. Here's one teacher that you promote--she has multiple divorces, she's a liar, she's stated that her own book is word of God (just like the KJV Bible) and you don't care.

You don't care.

You promote this false teacher because you don't care what the KJV Bible says. She's an adulteress and you don't care. Anyone who follows her is going away from Jesus Christ.

A REVIEW/REFUTATION OF Gail Riplinger�s New Age Bible Versions

http://avpublications.org/articles/gail-riplinger-who-is-she.pdf

Who is Gail Riplinger? A Warning for God’s Sheep
By Aletheia O’Brien

Gail Riplinger has had two unscriptural divorces, both while a professing Christian (as her testimony indicates), and then she lied to cover them up when they were discovered. Neither of her first two husbands petitioned for the divorces; Gail did. Neither husband had committed marital unfaithfulness.6 In the lectures quoted from above, she withheld the important information of her divorces from her audiences as she likened herself to these law-abiding women and claimed a false right to teach in church pulpits, despite 1 Corinthians 14:34. During the 1990s, as Riplinger visited various churches to teach on the King James Bible, she was an unlawfully divorced woman with two husbands living. Pastors who hold strong scriptural convictions concerning divorce and remarriage were not allowed to know about this before inviting her to speak to their congregations.

Interestingly, 19th-century occult leader Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (H.P.B.), one of the New Age/occult sources most often cited by Riplinger in her argument against Modern English Versions, was herself divorced twice. It is highly likely that Riplinger, who has claimed she read all sorts of New Age material when she was in the New Age movement, studied Blavatsky’s writings. Riplinger’s detailed knowledge of Blavatsky’s books, cited in New Age Bible Versions, seems to further indicate this. Since the moral character of people who hold a position of teaching authority in the body of Christ is of high importance, the matter of Gail Riplinger’s divorces, her covering them and then her lying about them needs to be addressed. The details in this booklet are the result of four years of in-depth research on the part of my husband and myself. We have studied her teachings and found many errors, and we have looked at the person doing the teaching. Because defending truth is of utmost importance, we must go into detail to address this situation. We are addressing “who is Gail Riplinger?” because a person’s message is only as good as the messenger where the church is concerned. God says: “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” Let us all take it to heart.

Someone has said, “But Mrs. Riplinger’s divorces happened before she became a Christian, didn’t they? So, they don’t matter.” That would be true if that were the case. But it isn’t. In early 2007, we launched an intensive background investigation on Mrs. Riplinger and discovered the unscriptural nature of her divorces. In early 2008, after hearing that Mrs. Riplinger had told Dr. and Mrs. D.A. Waite that she had never been married to any man other than her current husband, Michael, we mailed copies of her marriage and divorce documents to them. Because she lied about them to the Waites, and to the Church at large, we made her divorce and marriage documents available on the Internet, so that those concerned could see the truth for themselves. Since she is a public teacher (having been invited to speak in many Independent Fundamental Baptist churches, and since her teaching is public record), she is a public figure who has influenced many people who have purchased her books and other materials—and who might have otherwise chosen not to if they had known the truth. Therefore, the public has the right to know about this serious, holistic moral issue. Even if her divorces were within proper scriptural guidelines (which they are not), it still would not give her license to lie about them. If she believes herself without guilt for obtaining the divorces, then why did she keep them secret and lie about them when they were discovered? After verifying her divorce documents for himself, Dr. D.A. Waite confronted Gail privately by phone during the summer of 2009, giving her the chance to explain why she had lied, which she declined. Dr. Waite went public with her denial and the divorce documents at his July 2009 Bible conference. People who trusted her for over a decade became concerned that she had lied about something as serious as divorce. Soon afterward, most likely realizing that the divorces were undeniable, Riplinger formed a story seemingly intended to pacify her following and make her appear innocent in obtaining the divorces. In a letter purported to be from her current pastor (Dewayne Sands of Believer’s Baptist Church), Gail’s daughter, Bryn Riplinger Shutt, was quoted explaining on behalf of her mother:

By now, some might be asking: But why would Mrs. Riplinger want to change or cover the facts? First, there’s the protection of her book sales (since 1993), a large source of income. At the time that the divorces became undeniable fact,19 Mrs. Riplinger’s sixth book, Hazardous Materials, had just left the printing press and was being marketed throughout the King James Bible world.

Second, there is the problem of all those pastors who trusted her, who now know the truth. They believed she was being honest with them about herself, when during the 1990s she gained their trust and they allowed her to teach doctrine to their congregations, from their church pulpits.20 She portrayed herself as someone she was not. Some of these pastors—many of whom adhere to the clear scriptural rules regarding divorce and remarriage in the Scripture—could end up feeling betrayed by Riplinger’s lack of moral forthrightness. They believed they could trust her. If Scripture lays out a set of rules for men who want to be pastors, deacons, elders, and teachers, then anyone (man or woman) who teaches doctrine (of any kind) in the church should also be held to biblical moral standards and seek to lead a life in obedience to God’s word. Those pastors should have obeyed the rule in 1 Corinthians 14:34 concerning women speaking to the church when in assembly. Even if Riplinger wasn’t teaching in those pulpits, the integrity of her life would still be an issue because she has been elevated as a core leader in the King James Bible world. If a man or woman does not have their life in proper order, they are in no capacity to teach any doctrine to the body of Christ. Christians are “living epistles” and the very act of what they do is who they are, and that matters for good or for bad in the body of Christ. The Apostle Paul stated, “But I keep under [discipline] my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway [disqualified] (1 Corinthians 9:27).” This policy should be important to all. God’s moral rules are for everyone. And it is the responsibility of pastors, as shepherds, to see that anyone they allow to occupy their pulpit is within the proper guidelines of Scripture, as well as in proper standing with God’s word in their personal life. It is Riplinger’s responsibility to acknowledge she was wrong.

Lying Early On to the Church About Her Marital Status

In the 1990s, instead of sharing her divorces when talking about those parts of her life, Gail Riplinger was concealing them with lies even then, lying to the people who had put their trust in her, by fabricating a false story about herself. When she lectured to a large group of pastors at the Gospel Light Baptist Church of Walkertown, NC, in the late 1990s,21 she said:

I was a professor at Kent State University. Now, I don’t want you to think I’m a woman’s lib person or anything, cuz I don’t believe—I believe women should be keepers at home. But I wasn’t married …

If I could go to Geneva or Tyndale or something (i.e. if it was cost effective), I would (I think the Puritans used the Geneva, and Tyndale seems to have been far more trustworthy than James). Even better would be to learn the Hebrew and Greek, and get the original texts, but that kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.

I thought the good thing about the original Geneva was the margin notes (which was why KJ invented the KJV, right? - He was getting scared too many people were taking the margin notes to heart?) I know the margin notes wouldn't be inspired, but still... The online Genevas I've seen don't carry the margin notes.

I also like physical bibles, 'cause reading online is hard on the eyes, and governments can't turn paper ones off if something happens, but thanks for the links. :D

That's exactly correct, it's KJV-onlyism, not KJV-best.

KJV:

1 Tim 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (KJV PCE)

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. (KJV PCE)

Well Praus, that is your opinion.

Absolutely, I promote Gail Riplinger. Her book, New Age Bible Versions has already been vindicated by the way. A lot of the Alexandrians like to attack Mrs. Riplinger because they simply cannot handle the information that she covers in her books.


And where did she state that about her book Praus? DO you have any documentation for that claim? Or are you just lying through your teeth?

Praus, Gail Riplinger is not a false teacher. Have you even read her book? Have you even read any of her books?

I understand she is not perfect, and that she has her own flaws. But to call her a false teacher is simply wrong.


She writes books defending the Authorized King James Bible. One of the main reasons that Gail Riplinger gets attacked a lot is because she holds God's word, the King James Bible in a very high regard.

And by the way, James White lost his composure as he was talking with Will Kinney. That is why James White kept raising his voice and kept interrupting Mr. Kinney as he was speaking.

Will Kinney kept his composure very well and asked James White what he truly believed about the Bible. And of course, James White being the professional liar that he is could not give a straight forward and honest answer. But had to dance around the issue just like a lot of the Alexandrians do when you put them in a corner and ask them which Bible they believe is the word of God.

Wow, look how quickly your writing style has changed. :eek:

I can see that I've tripped onto something that the devil
:mad: doesn't want Christian Chat to know about.

Of course I have documentation
:rolleyes:--Gail Riplinger's own writing :mad: where she compares herself to the Prophet Ezekiel. :mad:


Luke 16:13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.



It it very clear that by stating that "G. A. Riplinger" means "God as author and Riplinger as secretary" that she is a straight up mammon worshipper.



http://www.biblefortoday.org/PDF/StringerOnRiplinger.pdf

IS GAIL RIPLINGER REALLY GOD’S SECRETARY?

In the January-February 1994 edition of the “End Times Victorious Living Prophecy Newsletter,” Gail Riplinger stated:

“Daily, during the six years needed for this investigation, the Lord miraculously brought the needed materials and resources—much like the ravens fed Elijah. Each discovery was not the result of effort on my part, but of the direct hand of God—so much so that I hesitated to even put my name on the book. Consequently, I used G. A. Riplinger—God as author and Riplinger as secretary.” :mad:

That is an incredible statement in Baptist circles. It is literally a claim to divine inspiration.

She further expands on this claim. In “Testimony, Question and Answer” (tape of an interview) she explains her role as God’s secretary:

“I used to look out the window at the little old ladies and think, Oh, if I could rake the leaves or if I could just get out of bed. But what God did over that period of six years—and I said to the Lord, I said, “Lord, you know I quit my job to do this research for you. Why would you put me in such an incapacitated state where I can’t do research?” And the Lord showed me over a period of years, that it wasn’t gonna be me and research and library, it was gonna be the Holy Spirit showing me things, and He was gonna take me aside, just like He did Ezekiel—Ezekiel was on one side for a year and on another side for a while, and he was dumb, and everything else. And the Holy Spirit was gonna do the work and this was gonna be His book, and it wasn’t gonna be my book at some head, cognitive research-type thing. It was gonna be something that He was gonna do. . .And, essentially, what would happen I would lay in bed all day—not through laziness—I was, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t—I was in so much pain, it was just, ah, it’s on the 50 on the Richter Scale with pain. And, so, ah, I’d lay in bed all day and I’d be in so much pain.

Well, when you lay in bed all day you can’t sleep at night. And, so, He would, He would say to me at about ten o’clock at night, He’d say (laughs), He’d say, “Well, get up and work on the book,” (laughs) and I’d say, “no, I’m too sick (laughs).” And He’d say, “Get up and work on the book,” and I’d say, “No.”—You see, we fought for 15 minutes every night for six years (laughs) and, ah, then after I told Him I was too sick, He’d say, “you’re in too much pain to sleep, aren’t you?” and I said, “Yeah, I know,” and, so, He said, “Well, get up and work on the book.” And, so I would always say, “I’m a woman and I don’t think women should do this.” (laughs) and He goes, “Get up and work on the book!” And, so, He goes, “Women make fine secretaries—that’s all we need here (laughs).” So, um—but every night for six years we had this little fifteen-minute battle and I’d get up and I’d work on it, and I would sit there in that chair, for six years. And I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a roller coaster but you know how white your knuckles are when you’re holding on for dear life, you know, because you think you’re gonna fall out. Well, I was in so much pain that I would hold on with one hand to the chair—white knuckles—and in the other hand I’m writing this book. And I’d sit there for the first—next—ten minutes and finally, I said, “This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous (laughs).” I’d say, “Okay, Lord,” you know. And then the devil whispered in my ear and he would tell me, “If you quit working on that book, if you throw away what you’ve found, I’ll leave you alone and you won’t be in any pain.” And I said, “Get thee behind me, Satan. We’re goin’ forward with this thing.” You know. I said, “In the, ah, Inquisition, people put up with this kind of stuff,” and I said, “I can put up with it (laughs) too.” . .And, so, for a period of six years, I worked on the book for about six to eight hours a day, researching, collating.”

As of July 26, 2010 this recorded interview was still being sold on Gail Riplinger’s website.

This is a very amazing story with very specific claims. She claims that God inspired her just like He did Ezekiel. She claims that she was just a secretary—the words were the Holy Spirit’s. She claimed a nightly conversation with God for six years. She claims that Satan made a specific offer to heal her if she would stop serving as God’s secretary.

No wonder that Gail Riplinger often compares herself to the prophetess Deborah.

In 1993, Gail Riplinger debated James White on radio station KRAS. He challenged her on her bizarre “acrostic algebra” (her own private form of numerology).

Her only defense was, “The Lord gave that to me one night.” And then, “The Lord gave me that formula.”

When you bring this up, Dr. Riplinger’s followers either try to change the subject or claim that she didn’t mean for her words to be taken literally. However, you can’t ignore this. Her entire “ministry” is based upon her claim to be “God’s Secretary.”

Do you believe that Gail Riplinger actually heard the voice of God every night for six years? Did she hear a voice? Did Satan directly speak to her? Was she inspired like Ezekiel?

Her claims are very specific! They are crucial to her “ministry.”

If she really had these supernatural conversations—was it really God that she heard? Demons delight in impersonating ghosts, outer space aliens, gods, angels, the Holy Spirit and God.

If Gail Riplinger didn’t hear voices nightly, then her entire ministry is a fraud. If she did hear voices—how do we know that one of them was God (she claims that the other was Satan).


You can’t avoid this issue or hide from it.

By definition, Baptists believe that the Bible is our sole authority. We don’t believe that God speaks audibly to anyone today. Our only authority is the plain, clear statements of the Scripture.

Charismatics might believe such a story like Gail Riplinger’s (she used to attend an Assembly of God church), but Baptists by definition, cannot.

The first question that anyone evaluating Gail Riplinger’s “ministry” must answer is this—“Do I believe her claims to divine inspiration?” Is she really God’s secretary? Everything depends on this.

Is Gail Riplinger really a modern-day Ezekiel or Deborah as she claims for herself? Is everything really for the “Greater Glory of Gail?”

What kind of megalomania does it take to compare yourself to Deborah or Ezekiel? All for the “Greater Glory of Gail.”

Now you know why someone who has no training in Greek and Hebrew can consider herself the greatest living authority on Greek or Hebrew. She is just “Gods’ secretary.”:mad: The words are God’s. Now you know. Gail Riplinger can offer new doctrines. According to her, the words come from the Holy Spirit.

I do care about what the King James Bible says.
Then why are you continuing to promote two teachers (at least two) that live as unrepentant adulterers right here on Christian Chat?

Is that the fruits that Christians should be seeking--unrepentant adulterers who say that their own book is equal to the Bible?

I love the King James Bible and after five weeks of this I'm starting to get annoyed that you continue to associate the majesty of the KJV Bible with one false teacher after another.

If you don't care about Jesus' own words in the King James Bible, how can you say that you "care about what the King James Bible says"?

You have put Gail Riplinger above Jesus Christ and you are trying to lead others on Christian Chat to do the same.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (KJV PCE)
