Besides what RSR wrote, we've proven Dr. Gipp wrong several times right here. In fact, we've dubbed him "the INCORRECT Answer Man" because of his obvious errors. For a man who is a KJVO, and a DOCTOR to boot, he doesn't seem to know his KJV very well, not does it appear that he knows very much about the AV 1611, either. Here are some examples:
RSR posted: 9. QUESTION: What is the LXX?
ANSWER: A figment of someone's imagination.
If Dr. Gipp is right, then the AV translators had the same imaginations, and Dr. Gipp knows more about the AV then THEY did. In their preface(I pasted from an edition modernized in spelling), the AV men wrote:
"While God would be known only in Jacob, and have his Name great in Israel, and in none other place, while the dew lay on Gideon's fleece only, and all the earth besides was dry; [See S.August.lib.12. contra Faust.c.32.] then for one and the same people, which spake all of them the language of Canaan, that is, Hebrew, one and the same original in Hebrew was sufficient."
"But when the fullness of time drew near, that the Sun of righteousness, the Son of God, should come into the world, whom God ordained to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood, not of the Jew only, but also of the Greek, yea, of all them that were scattered abroad; then, lo, it pleased the Lord to stir up the spirit of a Greek prince (Greek for descent and language), even of Ptolomy Philadelph, King of Egypt, to procure the translating of the Book of God out of Hebrew into Greek."
"This is the translation of the Seventy interpreters, commonly so called, which prepared the way for our Saviour among the Gentiles by written preaching, as Saint John Baptist did among the Jews by vocal."
"For the Grecians, being desirous of learning, were not wont to suffer books of worth to lie moulding in kings' libraries, but had many of their servants, ready scribes, to copy them out, and so they were dispersed and made common."
"Again, the Greek tongue was well known and made familiar to most inhabitants in Asia, by reason of the conquest that there the Grecians had made, as also by the colonies, which thither they had sent."
"For the same causes also it was well understood in many places of Europe, yea, and of Africa too."
"Therefore the word of God being set forth in Greek, becometh hereby like a candle set upon a candlestick, which giveth light to all that are in the house, or like a proclamation sounded forth in the market-place, which most men presently take knowledge of; and therefore that language was fittest to contain the Scriptures, both for the first preachers of the Gospel to appeal unto for witness, and for the learners also of those times to make search and trial by."
And recently, I made a post called, "The Gipper Shoulda Stuck to Football" proving him entirely wrong in his defense of "Easter" in the KJV's Acts 12:4. I shall it for your benefit, Amity, since it's no longer available on this board.(Timed out. However, I WILL re-post it if requested.)
So you see, Amity, Dr. Gipp is a very unreliable source for "Bible answers". He follows the old KJVO "party line" of Wilkinson, Ray, & Fuller, long-ago proven false. He relies more upon emotion, imagination, guesswork, & the writings of others for his "answers". Clearly, he doenn't know his KJV very well, nor has he studied the AV 1611 too much. And he certainly hasn't studied the writings of those whom he imitates for VERACITY. Here, we show him wrong from the VERY BIBLE VERSION HE SUPPORTS!
Jack Chick? He simply takes the material of the pro-KJVO authors and makes comix & tracts from it, WITHOUT CHECKING IT FOR VERACITY WHATSOEVER! As RSR said, all he does as far as Gipp goes, is to parrot him. As most KJVO authors are, those two aren't very reliable.
