I would believe it contains the views of most Particular Baptists of that time (and hopefully today.)<br /><br />"And if it be admitted, that no Power or Authority was ever committed to any Doctors, Assemblies, or General Councils, purposely or knowingly, in any Transcript of the Scriptures, to vary one Letter from the Original Record, or in any Translation to vary from the true and genuine Sense of the Original Text: And that not every individual Letter, syllable or Word in a Transcript or Translation, but the Sense of Scripture is of Divine Authority, and may be rendered and preached now as well as in the Apostles Time, to every Nation under Heaven, in their respective proper Languages. And that notwithstanding all Accidents of various Lections, or different Interpretations, thro the oscitancy of Transcribers, or various Sentiments of Translators thro humane Frailty; yet thro the admirable Providence and Grace of God, wathcing over and assisting his faithful Bishops and Teachers in the Church, we have, in all necessary Points relating to Doctrine, Worship, and Conversation, the genuine Sense and Meaning of the Holy Scriptures continued to us, as they were at first revealed, and divinely inspired into, and delivered over by the Holy Pen-men thereof, as I am abundantly satisfied (I thank God for it) that we have." [spelling and capitalization as in original] Note: it is not the translations which God inspired but they give the sense of the Inspired originals.<br /><br />Waldensis<br />From the Valley of Achorwaldensishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563442885762610078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-9942329365642951862010-08-11T16:30:38.532+01:002010-08-11T16:30:38.532+01:00G'Day Highland Host,
I have not read Dr. ...G'Day Highland Host,<br /> I have not read Dr. DiVietro's book yet. <br /> I have read all of Gail and Bryn Riplinger's books and have found them to be head and shoulders above the works of other KJV only writers and easily outclass the nonsense her detractors write about her.<br /> Their new book Hazardous Materials Greek And Hebrew Study Dangers The Voice Of Strangers Burning Bibles Word By Word available from:<br />AV Publications<br />PO Box 280<br />Ararat, VA 24053<br />1(800)435-4535<br />http://avpublications.com<br />is the definitive work on the history of Greek and Hebrew study tools.<br /> Using a wealth of primary sources, Their new book uncovers evidence that should scare any true believer away from ever studying Greek and Hebrew for "deeper" meanings of God's word.<br /> I personally checked out over 400 quotations at random and found them to be 100% accurate and in context.<br /> Any one reading ANY of the primary source references in their new book such as Biblical Greek Language and Lexicography or Lexicographica Graecae with any attention would be appalled at the corrupt state of Greek lexicography and the total scam correcting the Bible with Greek and Hebrew "originals" is today.<br /> The bottom line is that the Riplingers prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the primary value of Greekspeak is in its power to insinuate distrust in the Bible.<br /> The Waites and their Dean Burgon Society members are upset because Gail And Bryn Riplinger's Hazardous Materials Greek And Hebrew Study Dangers The Voice Of Strangers Burning Bibles Word By Word is quite possibly the death-knell for the wretched Greekspeak "originals only" heresy so prevalent in today's apostate Christendom.<br /><br />Thank you for your time<br />Keith WhitlockKeith Whitlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220398023575497105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-89998985438478457742010-05-12T08:04:42.117+01:002010-05-12T08:04:42.117+01:00My dear "Puritan", I consider framing on...My dear "Puritan", I consider framing one's life to the Word of God more important than the fine details of the text one is to use. I myself prefer a fuller text (I use the NKJV in the pulpit), but regardless of which text one uses, they actually teach the same things taken as a whole. Now, ALL texts contain the section in Jude that I quoted. They also ALL contain injunctions against lying, filthy jesting and foolish talk. Yet Gail Riplinger employs falsehoods and has not apologised for them. Her attitude towards those who disagree with her is sarcastic dismissal, though her books are full of errors of fact.<br /><br />And I, sir, do not take kindly to men who think that because another man disagrees with them on the precise identity of the New Testament text, and dares to expose as a liar a writer who affirms their position, they can ignore the precepts of the Bible and bring against them a railing accusation, all the while hiding behind a pseudonym.<br /><br />You are unwilling to repent, and you, sir, not I, defend the indefensible, namely a woman whose poorly-researched book concludes that God has not preserved His words in the languages in which they were originally given. No further good would come of continuing this conversation.<br /><br />Gervase N.

Michael "durst not bring a railing accusation" against the devil. Am I therefore worse than the devil?<br /><br />You must also explain how Gail Riplinger's theory that the Greek was only ever primary for Greek speakers, and that the gift of tongues produced inspired vernacular originals of equal authority to the Greek, is supported by the Bible.<br /><br />And finally, as I pointed out, we are talking about a writer who majors on little things, the number of pages in a book, a publisher's logo, cpitalization of words, all of these have sinster meanings is Riplinger's eyes, and are reasons to accuse those she attacks. It is therefore rather hypocritical for her defenders to attack her critics for doing just what she does.<br /><br />Unless of course you are of the opinion that the end ("defending" the King James Bible, even at the expense of the original language texts) justifies the means (constructing fake quotations that make Westcott say things he never said).Highland Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205436472908741409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-20472282352358217462010-05-09T22:09:59.955+01:002010-05-09T22:09:59.955+01:00"Riplinger's defenders like to say that a..."Riplinger's defenders like to say that answers to her often pick up on little things.
