Hank, a while ago I obtained a copy of “New Age Bible Versions”. This anti-modern translation book erroneously depicts that ALL translations, except the authorized King James Version, ARE satanic. It even has a hideous picture of a winged dragon on its cover. One doesn’t have to read far to discover how off the wall G.A. Riplinger is in her faulty assessment. She quickly paints a fake picture that the NASV and the NIV are the result of a conspiracy of the New Agers, preparing “Christians” to fall for the schemes of the antichrist. With misquotes and taking other authors out of context, she weaves a path that is actually destructive to the purposes of God. Then, apparently in the hopes that no one really knows what the KJV really says, she quotes verses from various new translations as her evidence. (Huh?) :) On page 17, she lists a few examples where the KJV reads Jesus and the NIV “translated” the name to “he”. What she fails to reveal is the real truth about the matter. The KJV uses the name “Jesus” 983 times. The NIV uses it 1,275 times. About halfway through the book she tries to convince her readers “We should be particularly wary when someone refers to Jesus Christ as “the Christ”. This obviously contrived attempt to “prove” they are removing the name of Jesus to make way for the antichrist flopped dead in the water - considering she failed to take into logical consideration concerning the 19 times that the KJV uses “the Christ”. I use the KJV for all my memorization work. I use the KJV for all my “word study definition work”. I use the KJV whenever I want to read Scripture out loud. But, I know that, contrary to what some bumper stickers claim, “We use the Bible that GOD uses-Authorized King James Version 1611,” God’s word is NOT KJV. Blessings, Taleb |

Taleb, I just read what you said, went to dogpatch and typed in New Age Version and up came all kinds of sites. I clicked on this one http://members.aol.com/pilgrimpub/newagebv.htm. I just glanced over it, but hoped back on this site to let you (and anyone else) know about it. That author also said one didn't have to go to far into the book to see the error of such a "doctrine".

Greetings TommyS, I most certainly agree. I have read many books from the "KJV Only" camp, one of which was "New Age Versions" by Gail Riplinger, and many more that I ordered from Chick Publications (www.chick.com). Such publications present a false view of how Scripture came to us and pervert the true aim of what the newer Bible versions are attempting to communicate to us. Perhaps one day there will be an "NIV Only" movement, much like the "KJV Only" movement today, all arguing for the same reasons all over again.. Blessings to you, Makarios |
