#2 In AWE of Thy Word

I see some 14,000 posts have been pruned
from this Bible Version Forum and relegated
to the archives for 2004.

This Topic is for discussion of the
specifics of:

Gail Riplinger's 2003 Book:

title: In AWE of Thy Word

Subtitle: Understanding the King James Bible:
It's Mystery & History Letter by letter.

"This book shows how the words of the
King James Bible are the same word
meanings and sounds across languages,
across cultures and across time.
No other Bible is like it!"

I think i know where this is going:
the letter placement is divine and inerrant.
So now you can feel free* to use your equidistant
spacing Bible code program(s) on the English Version.
The Bible becomes trivialized as a divining mechanism

*or, you can use mine for $100

 

In the typical double standard,
this refers to the KJVs v. MVs arguments
NOT to intra-KJVs arguments.

 

From the comic book doctrine source
with regards to IN AWE:
"This book shows how the words of the King James Bible
are the same word meanings and sounds across languages,
across cultures and across time.
No other Bible is like it! The King James Bible is
made up of words and sounds
that make you understand the feeling behind the words.
And King James words are very similar to words
used in other language Bibles."

One thing i've got for the comic book doctrine,
they are so far away from any meaningful concepts
that one can barely argue with it.
IF that statement has any meaning, it is that words
are used to convey ideas. But if that was it's true
meaning, then the KJVO concepts would all fall to the
side. Otherwise, the statement is illiterate
biblobabble.

 

p. 708:

"During the 14th and 15th centuries many
words were introduced into English from Latin.
How can Rome being evil speak goodthings?
Out of the abundance of their evil heart their mouth
pours out poison like:
antichrist, pope, priest, scribe, scorpion,
conspiracy, relic, idol, demon,
lunatic, Lucifer, fever, ulcer, cancer,
nervous, and martyr."

What nonsense is this?
She selects "evil" words and overlooks
perfectly good words? This is so like taking
candy from a baby. It is not good to fool the
febleminded like this.

She aludes to these verses:

Mt 12:34 (KJV1769):
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Lu 6:45 (KJV1769):
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Matthew 12:34 (HCSB):
Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things
when you are evil? For the mouth speaks
from the overflow of the heart.

Luke 6:45 (HCSB):
A good man produces good out of the good storeroom
of his heart, and an evil man produces evil out
of the evil storeroom. For his mouth speaks
from the overflow of the heart.

"heart" comes from Latin
"generation" comes from Latin

These verses could not exist in the KJV without
the Latin derived GOOD terms.
So what she says here on page 708
is absurd ("absurd" comes from the Latin).

 

Interesting,
philologist" is derived from the Latin

I can't admit because i have an attitude.
Speaking of attitude, can you pray for me?
I've got to go wednesday and visit my
dermatologist. He gets his liquid helium
spray can up to my skin
and he has an attitude on my skin

 

Thanx!!!

 

Thank you, Brother Logos 1650.
Unline many readers of Riplinger, i do
check references. So your AWE references
check out. That is basicly what she said.

She also on page 17 gives a list of
seven spiritual (see page 18) things
"The fine-tuning done by the KJV translators
was done to magnify (original in red)
the following qualities:

(word bullets used, i'm not using word
so i'll use a dash)
- Intensify meter
- Add alliteration
- Secure brevity
- Ensure continuity
- Introduce a separate-from-sinners' vocabulary
- Polish the synchronization of letter sounds,
syllabication, and syntax to enhance
memorization, comprehension, and
parasympathetic rhythms"

I think this is a lot of babble. I'll check
it with my English teacher friends.

 

My wife is an English major with
Secondary Education. She taught in public
schools for 7-years.
My pastor got an English major and a
History major at the Oklahoma Baptist
University (OBU).
Yes, I know some English teachers.
Personally i'm a math oriented person.

Consider my past post.
If the Bishop's Bible was "perfect,
pure, and true" why did it need
"fine-tuning" (AKA: enhancement)?
Can the perfect be made perfecter?

Another question.
Assume all these seven things are
added to the KJV. Why don't KJVO chuches
teach about this beauty in their churches?
Quite frankly i didn't run into it until
my present pastor.

This teaching of Gail's contradicts
the typical co-teaching of KJVO churches
that there is something evil about education.
Like my native American friend says:
Pale face woman speak with two tongues"
