HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. GAYLE RIPLINGER

A while back I purchased a book from Gail, entitled new age Bible versions,then she wanted me to get her new book the dictionary inside the King James Bible, so I placed the order sent her all credit card info after that never! received the book.Dr.D.A.Waite and his wife were friends with Gail it was said on the internet, so Gail told them she was married one time, so it got check out with certified evidence that the name Riplinger came from her 3rd husband Michael Riplinger.

You make a good point. Gayle has made herself vulnerable by playing the Hebrew-Greek game. If thoroughly knowing Hebrew and Greek were necessary to discern truth, then truth would be out of most people's reach. I played the Greek game for a while; studied it, learned the basic vocabulary, word endings and grammar. The prof. would throw passages at us and ask us to translate them on the spot into English, which we did very poorly. I soon discovered that no matter how well I learned Greek, my knowledge of it came from imperfect sources; and, if I was to apply imperfection to the perfect word of God, I would only end up with imperfection. As you point out Roy, truth is about the witnesses; Jesus said so. That being said, Gayle has a captive audience among the IFBs, and that guarantees revenue. If she let go of the 1769 KJV and embraced the real 1611 KJB, she would find her revenues would dry up very quickly. Truth has never been popular. It usually gets you killed. At the end of it all, sadly, Gayle is promoting a Jesuit agenda and their "fire wall" Bible, the KJV 1769. Its purpose is to keep people from the 1611.

I have not read her books, just watched video presentations, and I am thankful for her efforts to bring the issue of corrupt translations forward. Words in any language can have multiple meanings depending on context. You do not need to be a Greek or Hebrew scholar to know that simple fact. And, as John and Reg have assiduously pointed out themselves, the wrong meaning can be applied to create a corrupted translation. Again, another reason why the 47 scholars and their various committees are unassailable in this area as the various possible meanings of words were considered by men who knew Greek and Hebrew and ultimately approved by a consensus of Holy Spirit-led individuals. (2 Corinthians 13:1 "This is the third time I am comming to you: in the mouth of two or three witnesses shal euery word be established.") If Gail promoted the Authorized 1611 (rather than the Cambridge and Blainey) and the scholarship of those men, she likely would shield herself from the criticism of her own knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Again, I have not read her books so maybe she does in some respect. As Reg has noted about Tyndale Bible, the Matthew Bible and others, the lack of scholarship of the translator (in this case Gail) can work against the purity of the translation, although their intent may be noble in the undertaking.

Well done Elsie! I liked her material too when I first encountered it and it helped me. I think you summed Gail up well. She shines a light on errant translations which is good. The bad appears to be as Elsie explains it. One criticism I have heard of her is that she opines on the translation of Greek and Hebrew but doesn't know these languages herself . . an area where the credentials of the 47 scholars who translated the original 1611 are unassailable.

yes i have. are you wanting to get one? it's really long slog, the physical copies are really wide (to hold/difficult) so bear in mind. i still have a few of her books somewhere, from back when i was put on the pathway to truth. i dont think she distinguishes 1611 from 1769 (KJV Only Movement?). but a lot of useful principles in the book about trusting in God's word instead of mankinds different ideas about it. i didnt know what a lexicon was etc, so that's how i found out about those, in this book, those things are laid out simply and explained, and the history and makings of. it's got some good tables in it, if i remember correctly (its been a while). there are several youtube presentations (old quality) about her other book on newage bible versions too. i suppose "is it good" depends on what you want from something. if i can summarize, it's [hazerdous materials] a book on Dont Trust Books. some things i dont like/care about, such as too much focus on "the bad people", i just want the data (at the time, especially). internet seems to hate her and i've read some crazy things (probably deleted since the internet got chopped up), but i dont feel concerned with that stuff either way - her books are opinions, and books (opinions) are paid for, why people debate about how someone writes a book, or the skill/lack of it, i dont know, i still pray for her every so often. chapter one audio: https://youtu.be/XO-2s_WtgTo?feature=shared
