I, too, have a book I'd like to point out. I do not recommend it; I merely point it out. New Age Bible Versions G. A. Riplinger (A. V. Publications, 1993) 'Riplinger's book 'goes beyond previous works, however, by developing a conspiracy theory for the KJV-only view. Author G. A. Riplinger believes that lying behind modern versions (especially the NASB and NIV, apparently) is New Age influence.' (...) 'Riplinger rejects [the] earlier manuscripts and urges us to return to the Bible of the precritical era. 'If there is anything good to say about Riplinger’s New Age Bible Versions (hereafter NABV), it is that the book is not any longer than it is and that the foolishness of its various claims are transparent when one takes the time to study them... 'NABV is replete with logical, philosophical, theological, biblical, and technical errors. Riplinger lacks the proper training to write this book (her MA. and M.F.A. in “Home Economics” notwithstanding). Many of her errors arise from a lack of understanding of Old and New Testament textual criticism as well as biblical and theological studies...She hesitatingly admitted that she really could not read Greek. '...Simply comparing the KJV with the NIV and NASB through endless charts does not prove a thing. She needs to demonstrate that the specific translations she accepts are really better textual renditions than the alternatives she rejects, rather than merely assuming the superiority of the majority text type or the KJV. (...) 'The bottom line in Riplinger’s mind is that the King James Version of 1611 is alone the Word of God. Anything prior to or after that specific translation is in some measure not really the Word of God. We are back to the absurd view that the KJV is the Bible of Paul and the apostles. 'A volume the size of NABV would be required to point out Riplinger’s misunderstanding of theology, translation technique, and her fascination with New Age conspiracy and its association with modern versions. This book will cause a temporary stir. Hopefully, however, most Christians will recognize NABV as an ill-begotten book and will turn back to a study of the Word of God in the language of the people today. In so doing they will fulfill the prayers of godly translators of centuries past, including the very ones who translated the King James Version of the Bible.'

This will be my last response.I'm amazed at what's become of the body of Christ in these last days.You totaly bought Jim Whites garbage.He lied an average once every two pages! Riplinger has a B.A.,M.A.,and M.F.A. degrees and has done additional postgraduate study at Harvard and Cornell Universities.I'LL BET YOU STILL HAVENT PRAYED ABOUT THIS HAVE YOU? And you won't either.I'm out of here guys! I have to agree with The Lord Jesus Christ in Rev.3:16. My stomach can only take so much of this apostate,back slidden,powerless "Christianity".The prisoners that I teach are twenty times closer to The Lord than anything Ive seen on this site since I loged on.I'm outa here! | ||||||
