Gail Riplinger video

False teaching alert... at 4 minutes 50 seconds.. .she declares the NIV takes verses away, when in fact the KJV added... funny, the same scripture that condemns taking away, also condemns adding... But she seems to ignore this.

 

OK, enough is enough... At 9 minutes and 50 seconds she starts promoting the Bible code-mumbo jumbo in which she says that names of 19th century men were hidden in the Hebrew texts... and she wonders if when people start omitting verses, they are removing their names accidently from the book of Life....

Sure sounds like she doesn't believe in the security of the believer.

I have to admit this is the first time I have ever seen a video of her teaching, I have read some of her pamphlets, but have never seen her.

But I refuse to listen to anymore of her garbage, and her insulting God's word.

She shows her ignorance, and anyone that would support her is willingly ignorant...

 

Hi, Brother Tim!

Personally, I don't think that the curse in Rev. 22 applies to any translation or even to any text of the originals. I believe it applies to the truths of the Word of God. Otherwise we would have to figure out exactly which text, Greek or English or otherwise, is exactly like the originals, and no one can do that. Stephanus TR or Erasmus? UBS Greek 3rd ed. or 4th ed. or W&H Greek text? 1611 KJV or a later one? British KJV or American one?

Or think about this. I translate a verse into Japanese for my rough draft but miss a phrase or word, something that happens a lot more than I wish. Either "Uncle Miya" (my Japanese linguist and editor) or my son (fluent in Greek and Japanese) then catches my blunder and we correct it. Was I then cursed because I failed to translate a two word phrase?

Yep, three months ago I said that is where the whole
Bible based, word-for-word, letter-for-letter movement
was going.

 

JoJ, I agree with you, but I'll take it a step further I actually think when John wrote it, he meant it to apply to only the book he just finished writing... Revelation...
He had no idea that his book was going to be the last book of the Bible.

Of course since God inspired him to write it, it could apply to the truths also, as you said.

 

Well, that is certainly a valid interpretation. However, the interesting thing here is that Revelation, though written last, has probably the most uncertain Greek text in the NT. Metzger's A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament has 39 pages on the textual problems in Revelation. Even in the Byzantine tradition, where the Byzantine Textform of Pierpont and Robinson usually agrees with Stephanus in the rest of the NT, there are many different readings. So you still have the same conundrum: which Greek text did not add or subtract individual words from the original?

 

I'm about the 8 1/2 minute mark on the video. Thanks for saving me the time to write some of these errors in methodology, tinytim.

It's kind of like drinking cyanide. There is a definite limit on how much one can ingest at one time, without it becoming fatal!

Yes, and why should I read it again?

your statements show that you did, she has not lumped herself up in any group you have associated her with.

To include a person in the same sentence and use the comparitve phrase begininng with "like" causes the thought process to make the association of LIKE belief.

I see you maybe have an associate degree in basic English.:laugh:

 

No, the Word of God only tells the woman not to usurp authority over the man in to take his role away from him in teaching. If any woman is able to convey to the man something of a positive manner to further educate him in things concerning the truth, then there is not really anything wrong with it.

Just because a woman uses Bible verses to TEACH a lesson does not make her a preacher or even hint she is preaching.

Actually, screen doors on submarines work exceptionally well when in the South Pacific refurbishing the fresh air tanks.

 

==I think you are grasping for straws here. Anyone who reads what I wrote knows what I meant.

 

At least somebody is "honest", but the grass is green due to the sky being blue.

I firmly believe the harmony of the KJB outweighs all the other versions, or is that some seem to believe God is in disharmony with His Word?

 

You know what you meant. Others who are against Riplinger like what you said becuase they mean to be against her too, but I read what you said. I didn't care what you thought you meant, I only responded to what you said.

 

Funny how some one with her education surmises the Scritpure the same way the Bible reads, differing only with those who choose the alternate reading in the footnotes!:laugh:

 

No. The Word of God clearly states that the plagues in the Book of Revelation will be upon them for adding to the Word of God.
