New Age Bible Versions: An Exhaustive Documentation of the Message, Men & Manuscripts Moving Mankind to the Antichrist's One World Religion [Paperback]

G. A. Riplinger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1993

This book is the result of an exhaustive six year collation of new bible versions, their underlying Greek manuscripts, editions, and editors. It objectively and methodically documents the hidden alliance between new versions and the New Age Movement's One World Religion. The emerging 'new' Christianity - with its substitution of riches for righteousness, a crown for a cross, and an imitation for a new creation - is shown to be a direct result of the wording in new versions. Documented are the thousands of words, verses, and doctrines by which new versions will prepare the apostate churches of these last days to accept the religion of the Antichrist - even his mark, image, and Lucifer worship. The Greek manuscripts, critical editions, lexicons and dictionaries behind the new versions are examined, revealing their occult origins, contents, and yet unreleased material - a blueprint for the Antichrist's One World Religion and government. Presented also is the latest research proving the Authorized King James Version represents not only Christianity's earliest and most widely used Greek text, but is the easiest version to read according to computer analysis based formulas from the Flesch-Kincaid research firm. Each page opens a door exposing new version editors - in agreement with Luciferians, occultists, and New Age philosophy - in mental institutions, seance parlors, prison cells, and court rooms for heresy trials - and most shocking of all - denying that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. Five have lost their ability to speak.

As I read negative review after negative review of this book, I was struck by one repeated phrase. "While some King James only people have a valid point of view", and then rip Dr. Riplinger. Satan comes to deceive, confuse, and bewilder. The Bible is the infallible word of GOD. If you are a Christian, that much you absolutely have to believe. Therefore if you have two books both purporting to be the Infallible WORD OF GOD, and they differ, one is completly wrong. There can be no half rights, only absolutes. Finally read the Preface of any translation you pick up, the men who worked on the Authorized KJV 1611 didn't believe themselves to be infallible, compare the sincerity in that preface to any other traslation.

Dr. Riplinger knew she would be attacked by the minions of Satan when she wrote this and her other works proclaiming the singular truth that the 1611 KJV is the true translation of the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. No matter how many reviews rip her books to shreads, anyone who reads her books completly will have a greater understanding of what this war of words over translations is really all about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the worst book I have ever read, July 5, 2003

I have a lot of sympathy for those who argue for the Textus Receptus. I am also sure that a compelling case can be put for the church to prefer the KJV over newer translations.

This isn't it.

I have read many books in my time. I have read many bad books in my time, and even some downright appalling books. However, adjectives fail me when I seek to do justice to the consistently abysmal quality of the 'scholarship' in this book.

Reading this volume I was not sure whether I should laugh or cry. In the end the fact that some people take this stuff seriously pressed me to the latter.

The slanderous and largely unsubstantiated charges that Mrs. Riplinger makes against certain individuals within this book should not be taken lightly by any who respect the ninth commandment. This is a book that must be repented of. It implicates godly evangelical men in a new age conspiracy and creates a dangerous disunity within the body of Christ.

It surprised me to pick up a book claiming to deal with Bible versions that failed to even engage with the Greek and the Hebrew of the original text.

I was further bewildered to be faced with a whole range of logical fallacies. Anyone with the merest smattering of logical thought would be able to demolish the 'arguments' put forward in this book.

Riplinger often takes the truth of her theology for granted and tests the reliability of newer versions against it. Her theology is obviously not very considered and represents a backwater in Protestant thought. Many of the positions she rails against as 'New Age heresy' have far more support from Christian tradition than those she advocates. Here is someone with a theological axe to grind.

Merely comparing tables of words from the KJV and new translations is far from sufficient to prove Riplinger's case. Most of these garner the limited persuasive power they can muster from the prior supposition that the KJV is the more accurate text, but this is, of course, begging the question.

Riplinger must remember that it is just as sinful to add to God's Word as it is to subtract. She merely presumes throughout that the texts underlying the KJV have not added to the Word. Any deviation from the KJV is, therefore, an omission.

Riplinger must also remember that merely showing similarity of wording between newer translations and New Age writers does not prove that the same views are being held. Jesus' statement: 'You must be born again' does not relate His teaching to that of reincarnation. Riplinger seems to be utterly oblivious to the phenomenon that is context.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is deeply unfortunate that this poisonous little book will find its way into unwary people's libraries, resulting in split churches and damaged friendships.

When Christian brothers and sisters are in the wrong there are right and wrong ways to approach it. There are godly evangelical scholars who are persuaded of the reliability of other textual traditions than that of the Textus Receptus. Demonizing such people serves little purpose. They seek to be faithful to the Word of God, just as Riplinger does. Rather than implicate them as pawns in a vast conspiracy, why does she not rationally engage with their textual arguments in the Greek and Hebrew rather than make the ridiculous error of believing that these important questions can be solved by mere comparison of the English translations.

I am saddened to write such a review as this. However, I feel it is necessary to identify clearly books that are theologically dangerous. There are good books on this subject by respected evangelical scholars, scholars embarrassed by the way that Riplinger argues for their position. The Lordship of our Saviour Jesus Christ extends even over the world of scholarship. I would encourage any who read this review to purchase books by scholars who engage in their scholarship in accord with Christ's Word (not misrepresenting opponents, not presenting clearly flawed arguments, not slandering, misquoting nor presenting factual inaccuracies) and to steer well clear of the doctrinal reef represented by New Age Bible Versions.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Error-filled Book, September 5, 2006

Mrs. Gail Riplinger's book and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code are the two most error filled books I have ever encountered. Gail's defense of the "Authorized" King James Version of the Bible as the only legitimate translation will appear at first to the non-scholar to be a strong case (authorized not by God but by a rather unholy king of England). But it soon becomes evident, especially to those of us who read the Bible in the actual Greek and Hebrew texts, that most of her arguments are twisting the truth, false, irrelevant, or just plain ridiculous. For example she takes the letters of the abbreviations NASV and NIV and subtracts and adds letters to arrive at SIN (p. 149 in the 1994 edition). NASV is not even correct; it is NASB. The argument is not only rediculous, it is incorrect. This example is typical of her arguments. Sometimes she points out a legitimate weakness in another translation, but she fails to note that the KJV has been revised repeatedly because of weaknesses in its translation. Gail's book is an embarrassment to truth-lovers.
