In his review of the book New Age Bible Versions, KJV-only advocate David Cloud noted that Riplinger's book "is so marred by error, carelessness, and faulty logic that it cannot be used as a dependable resource" (O Timothy, Issue 8, 1994, p. 3). In another issue, David Cloud noted that...

In an article "Why I Wrote the Book: New Age Bible Versions," Gail Riplinger stated: "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, which signifies to me...

As I already clearly noted, by referring to the Old Greek Septuagint I am referring to the Septuagint as it existed from B. C. 100 until A. D. 100. In that time period, copies of individual Old Testament books were made on scrolls. No codex existed until likely after A. D. 100. Floyd Nolen...

Concerning Genesis 41:48, Christian Ginsburg observed: “The most cursory examination of the Hebrew text shows that something has dropped out of it and that the Septuagint has preserved that which is missing” (Introduction to the Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible, p. 303)...

A few KJV defenders and KJV-only advocates acknowledge the existence of a B. C. Greek Septuagint. The KJV translators acknowledged a B. C. Septuagint. KJV defender Edward F. Hills (1912-1981) wrote: “Even before the coming of Christ God had brought into being the Septuagint, the Greek Old...

The Greek Septuagint is not a fable. The term Septuagint has been used with different meanings. It is first used for a B. C. Greek translation of the Pentateuch. The term was later applied to Greek translation of the entire Old Testament. Before the birth of Christ and even up to A. D. 100...

In 1741, Charles Hayes asked: “Can any man believe, that the version of the Septuagint which he [Josephus] made use of, differed from that Hebrew copy, which he had, by the favour of Titus, out of the Temple?” (Dissertation on the Chronology of the Septuagint, pp. 88-89). Charles Hayes claimed...

Gail Riplinger declared: “The words that differ in the early English Bibles are pure synonyms” (In Awe of Thy Word, p. 859). Does Gail Riplinger think that the 1535 Coverdale's Bible's rendering "do penance" is a pure synonym with the KJV's rendering "repent"? In his introduction to a...

Are the 1560 Geneva Bible's rendering "ostriches" and the 1611 KJV's rendering "owls" pure synonyms? Job 30:29 ostriches (Geneva, NKJV) owls (KJV) Isaiah 13:21 ostriches (Geneva, NKJV) owls (KJV)

Here are some examples of the inconsistencies in the italics in KJV editions. Deuteronomy 21:3 [italics] [same as Deut. 21:6 where man is in italics] the slain man [1873 Cambridge] (2000, 2002 ZOND) (TPB) (HPB) (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 HEND) (NHPB) the slain man (1769 Oxford, SRB) [1629, 1769...

There is a great deal of variations in the use of italics in the many varying editions of the KJV. The original 1611 edition did not actually use italics, but it indicated added words by use of a different type and those added words were then indicated by italics in post-1611 KJV editions...

One additional evidence of an apparent revision or redaction of the Hebrew text as indicated by Christian Ginsburg and of the existence of a pre-A.D. 100 old Greek Septuagint would be Aquila’s Greek Old Testament translation made around A. D. 126. S. Douglas Woodward claimed: “That the rabbis...

Can you name and identify any pre-AD 900 Hebrew manuscript that could not have been altered or changed in a few places? Before the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the earlier surviving Hebrew OT manuscript is dated around A. D. 900. In 1897, Christian D. Ginsburg (1831-1914) wrote: “In the...

I have read several books written by Gail Riplinger, and I have checked out her research. Riplinger's research is not sound. Here are some examples of her research. Gail Riplinger asserted: “We cannot assume, as most have, who have not actually collated them word-for-word, that the language of...

KJV-only author Lawrence Bednar wrote: “The Septuagint (original B.C. era text, not later ones) reflects amplification of crucial Christology for 1st century Greek-speaking churches before New Testament authority was established. It appears the standard Hebrew text was accompanied late in its...
