"Propitiation" in the KJV appears just three times: one Greek word is hilastērion (Strong's #2435) relating to an appeasing or expiating in Romans 3:25; the same Greek word is renedered "mercyseat" in Hebrews 9:5. Another Greek word is hilasmos (Strong's #2434) meaning an appeasing is found in 1...

Really? Wouldn't that mean that in a few places the NKJV would be different or lacking words found in the MT Greek?

Johathan01, this was the second time my question was ignored. If you don't know the answer, just say so. But if you cannot personally support your assertion with evidence that there is a translational issue with the NKJV's Hebrew base text then you ought not repeat it as fact.

I also produced an unrefutable example of the KJV text missing a word that is definately in the Greek TR. There are probably hundreds of words that are simply untranslatable (certainly with a 1-to-1 correspondance). But to think that translation can be word-for-word is be completely naive of the...

Please give an example or two from the Old Testament where the NKJV is actually different from the KJV because of the underlying Hebrew text. Thanks!

Is the referrence given really the very first occurrence? ADAMANT Ezek. 3:9 | "An adamant harder than flint" | WEB | "A very hard stone" Zech. 7:12 | "An adamant stone" Five of these verses on Page 6 do contain the first occurrence of the difficult word in the KJV. However, technically...

The textual differences between these two critical MT editions results in exactly how many translational differences in English?

Bearing in mind that words can have multiple definitions (depending on the context) some of which may be uncommon or even archaic, a simple list is an inadequate format to evaluate the comparative difficulty of a given word. BTW, those other obscure words I supplied are indeed found in the KJV...

No, actually there are many more. The People's New Testament is TR-based, the ALT is MT-based, the D-R is Latin-based, Lamsa's is allegedly Peshitta-based, etc. You speak in overly generalized terms.

I tend to agree with you. Although GAR states that the book is merely an overview, and I wouldn't necessarily desire exhaustive examples, it makes me wonder why she picks the ones she does and leaves out some others. Hmmmm.

Certainly you can play! You and Rippon guessed 4 of the same words, but you guessed only one the Gail Riplinger thought worthy of putting in her book -- AVERSE. Thanks for playing!

How can she be held accountable for failing where she could not possibly succeed?

Chapter One: the five examples on Page 6 Riplinger gives 5 examples of 'difficult words' in her first table. Can you guess which 5 words below are the ones found in the book? The purpose of this games, of course, is to demonstrate the somewhat subjective nature of determining 'difficult' words...

Chapter One: How do you find the Bible's "Built-in Dictionary"? In Chapter One, the author introduces us to Step One: "Look at the word next to the word in question". This is just the first of four steps. So, using the overall stated objective plus this Step One parameter while looking at some...

Are suggesting that God would demand an unattainable standard from man? (for certainly no human could obtain it)

This verse is often misinterpretated and misapplied. The 'perfection' spoken of here is more like 'completeness' and in the context is specifically about the ability to love equally.

For the record, above the title the cover states "Uncovers NIV, NKJV, KJ21, NASB Pitfalls." Below the title the cover states "Discover Its Hidden Built-In Dictionary." My only general comments now about the books appearance (I am a graphics professional and artistically trained) are that it...

I remember Gail Riplinger complaining that the NIV or some other 'modern' versions had removed the word "Jehovah" from the Bible; of course, she fails to mention that it appears merely 4 times in the KJV when it potentially could have been included thousands of times (the ASV uses "Jehovah"...

I'm sure you are right. I wrote "second book" based on the information on the back cover "About the Author" on my copy of LotKJB which states after her academic creditials that Riplinger "authored six college textbooks" and that "the seventh textbook, New Age Bible Versions, was an international...

Actually, Gail Riplinger argues in her 1998 book "The Language of the King James Bible" that you don't need a dictionary at all -- the KJB "contains a Built-in Dictionary" (Introduction, p. xvi) that explains all its' diffcult words (notice she does not deny that there are such). I just...
