Featured An Answer to a Question

The inside scoop on the '96 P.S. is that the Hyles Anderson College staff ostricized their own William P. Grady, who was supposed to headline that week. He ended up sidelined, even though he had published the most scholarly work on the translation issues, Final Authority(with an 80 page bibliography, varied enough to silence any credible critic).
Instead, drama queen Riplinger, and Al Lacy took center stage, and the lights went off on the movement before it was born.
Look at anything published post 96, out of Hyles Publications, and you'll find an ignorant nod to the original language 'TR' of Scrivener without any understanding of the real differences in parent documents between the AV and The Nestle-Aland descendents.
Defeat, snatched from the jaws of victory, and in the Ole Nick of time, sentenced every defender of the Common English Bible to be lumped in with a pack of unstudied yahoos.
I love how Armitage is even castigated now, and he was the doorman that let the RV in to the Am. Bible Societies. Irony.

 

Of course, the LACK OF SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT did nothing to enhance the KJVO myth's image. And, as more people saw that Dr. Fuller had DISHONESTLY made no mention of Dr. Ben Wilkinson's CULT AFFILIATION after copying heavily from him, the falsehood of KJVO became more-apparent.

The roots of the KJVO myth have been laid bare, as well as its inherent falsehood. No one has any real excuse to keep believing or supporting this false doctrine any more.

Millions of KJV Bible Believers

KJV Holy Bible are the most published, read and loved bible of all time.

 

He's a laughing-stock. No rational individual here gives him any credence.

Though even she can't match Ruckman's caustics -GP is a fraud.

Even more believers around the globe use the NIV. I'm in China. Just a few hours ago some young people were reading from Genesis chapter one in the NIV. The KJV just doesn't cut it with non-English natives in addition to many native speakers who have moved on with more accurate texts.

 

What is interesting is that even in the times of the "perfect" 1611 kjv edition, many still kept and held to the Geneva as being a superior version!

also, IF one wnats to say that if a version been bought and used a lot, God is behind it, your Niv version would be the Kjv of modern age, just based upon that sole criteria!

 

And "Dr." Riplinger's 'doctorate' happens to be an "honorary" title, comparable to a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge or something found in a box of Cracker Jax.

As for IBF and the KJVO myth, it seems several KJVO authors played upon the fact that most IBFs are 'sola scriptura'.

 

Typical illiterate snip rambling.
A title to the B.B. would be fake, not honorary. It would not be awarded for some perceived achievement, it would be sold to some unwitting sucker.
An honorary doctorate is at least as valuable as the credence which the fans of the institution issuing it lend.
Something found in a C.J. box would be a 'toy surprise', and would be there despite the fact that the manufacturer had no idea who would receive it.
An honorary doctorate is intentionally awarded to a particular person, the issuing institution knowing full well who.
The legs of the lame are not equal, so is a parable in the mouth of snip.

 

Uhhh ... no. He has a very legitimate point.

And yet, it is of no value to the recipient beyond the honor of being recognized. While they're a nice recognition and probably look good hanging on the wall, honorary degrees are not "real' degrees." In other words, being awarded an honorary degree is not the same as earning an actual doctorate. In fact, an honorary degree is a degree honoris causa, Latin for 'for the sake of the honor'. They are not used to further one's career, fatten one's bank account or dress up one's resume, though many attempt to use them that way. Jerry Johnston, the disgraced Kansas City pastor, loved to introduce himself and be known as "Dr." but was not, and his behavior indicated he was very short on Christian accountability, a concept any true doctoral recipient would have long ago studied and absorbed (even though it doesn't keep some of them from making the same errors Johnston did).

If anything, honorary degrees draw more attention to the college or university bestowing the honor since it ties them to the (usually already famous or well-known) recipient. They don't afford any recognition beyond furthering the institution's reputation by associating itself with someone of perhaps greater repute. There is no "accomplishment" associated with an honorary degree. It is purely public relations.

 

An honorary degree can't be compared, legitimately, to a fake deed.
h.d. -legal, fake deed- illegal
hd- given for 'perceived achievement'(my actual words. You can't read the hearts of everyone who has ever issued an honorary degree to one of their graduates, can you?)
Fake deed- sold with the intent to commit fraud, no ESP necessary.
I could go on, but you should get the picture. It is not an apples to apple's comparison, and symbolic of the mindset of kjvo bashers( as well as most of the outspoken kjvo's I've interacted with as well).
I'll let you do the Cracker Jacks breakdown on your own.
In this case, like or dislike N.A.V.o.t.B, it was a valuable side by side comparison tool for many kjvo's who had never cracked an mv. The commentary was needless, IMO, but I've kept a copy as a reference tool.
She, Gail Riplinger, published a book that sold a certain # of copies. That is an actual achievement. Can you blame Hyles for jumping on the bandwagon?
It's what institutions do. It maybe an empty honor, outside of a small circle of people, shrinking daily, but it wasn't given for zero effort.
She spent 7 years producing a book that sold, she got a degree equal to the book.
When my book outsells hers, I'll pipe up, you know what I mean?

 

Lol...I think one of our I intrepid moderators needs to check the IP addresses of everyone who has posted here, in this thread, to make sure there are no banned members posting under new pseudonyms.

Please start with me.

 

The horse probably knows more about Bible versions that Riplinger ever will, too. At least it isn't likely the horse's information will be fatally flawed like hers.

 

And the horse didn't ramble on at his acceptance speech, causing Jack Hyles to try to figure out how to shut it up, like G. Riplinger did.
He did give his opinion of the degree, when he left a pile of dung on the platform.

 

Oh, so you admit it was purely a money-making scheme for Hyles.

In other words something hollow.

 

... and tainted.
