Featured Gail Riplinger

True, but they do not use them very well!

 

Not to mention that Gail Riplinger is notorious for slandering people and taking quotes about them out of context. David Cloud has some excellent articles on Riplinger.

 

I think we pretty much agree, the advocates of KJVO, have missed the boat. But what purpose, other than looking down our noses, is a thread dedicated to belittling people rather than positions? There are plenty of KJVO advocates with credentials, so why attack those lacking credentials, as if that was the reason for the error?

In the 1660-88 period in Scotland, a group of believers separated from the Church of England and became know as Covenanters. They were persecuted, punished and some were "drawn and quartered." But they loved God and stood for what the believed. No need to question their "credentials."

 

One of her ilk, Gene Kim, said the original Greek is garbage.

Translation: "behold, my personal life and ministry and credentials are the standard".

That was the attitude of the Pharisees toward the Galileans. You could hardly have illustrated it better. I'll stand with the Galileans and their faults, thank you very much. You can stay in your corner "embarrassed" all you want.

No wonder Ruckman had such a hard time with you guys.

 

Peter Ruckman was a certifiable nut, and that’s not up for debate.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

No, of course I did not waste my time reading Riplinger! Did I compare her to genuine heroes of the cross. No, I indicated she had missed was boat, and her problem was not a lack of credentials. And I certainly was not disparaging you for warning us about her.

I am sick and tired of threads personally attacking people rather than addressing their false doctrine. Full Stop

 

My goodness. John of Japan shocked me with his righteous indignation in this topic. I always thought that he was mild-mannered no matter what was thrown at him!

All kidding aside, however, you are absolutely right about Riplinger. One of the saddest moments for me this summer was reading Hugh Pyle's autobiography and reaching the chapter where he mentioned meeting Gail Riplinger and spoke of her in glowing terms.

Now I am a bit of a paradox as a Fundamentalist. The best way to describe me is that I hold to a style of evangelism and corporate worship akin to Lee Roberson, hold to biblicism like Sam Bradford and R. V. Clearwaters, and use the King James Version like the founding members of the Baptist Bible Fellowship. My views on women speaking in church services fall in line nicely with W. B. Riley---I am not against it, and am for it if the women are blessed with the power of God in a unique way; however, this practice should be left to men as a general rule.

Riplinger is different. She should be barred from any Bible-believing Baptist church, and I would not trust any minister who endorses her. A former pastor of mine was a devotee of her books, and his "preaching" on the subject fractured the congregation. Those that imbibed the falsehood had their bibliology, and thus their entire doctrinal system, permanently warped.

It is not difficult to see how flimsy her arguments are. Those that believe them cannot defend them. This one simple fact reveals more than many are willing to acknowledge. One cannot claim to hold indisputable truth unless said narrative can hold up against inquiry and skepticism. Has anyone here ever met a Ruckmanite or a "Riplingerite" that can rationally and reasonably defend their claims without getting angry or resorting to ad hoc attacks or straw man arguments?

When I graduated from Maranatha Baptist University up in Watertown, Wisconsin, my pastor at the time was very displeased that I had gone to a school that did not "believe the Bible." I was grateful for my time at MBU, for it showed me that the main concern in Bible translations is that the original articles are used as the source material, not so much how the final product sounds. Language changes over time, but the Word of God shall stand forever. It is up to our Christian linguists, like John of Japan, that they carefully steward their abilities so that the most accurate translations possible can be made.

 

there seem to actually few few Kjvo that have solid credentials. in the fields of biblical studies or textual criticism!

 

Any link to them?

 

Explain that to the Holy Spirit!

 

Ruckman had a hard time due to poor theology!

 

He was the patron saint of Kjvo!
