A Grievous Wolf - Time for Truth

historic Massoretic Text in toto (e.g. Numbers 33:8, 2 Sam. 8:3, 2 Sam. 16:23, Ruth 3:5, Ruth 3:17,
Judges 20:13 et al..)...” She adds on p 1007 that “...the Ginsburg and Green editions, the only currently
printed editions of the ben Chayim-type Hebrew Bible, do not precisely represent the “Originall”
used by the KJB translators...”
The above examples from Dr Mrs Riplinger’s research have been given to show that Bible believers are
well aware of errors in current Greek and Hebrew sources, which are the only ones that Grievous Wolf
will have access to. Dr Mrs Riplinger has shown in considerable detail that the King James translators
did not succumb to those errors.
In spite of his superficial charges of errors in the 1611 Holy Bible, see the 36 verses listed above,
Grievous Wolf has not shown that the King James translators perpetrated any errors in their Hebrew and
Greek sources. As indicated, neither has he identified any such errors in their Hebrew and Greek
sources.
The King James translators had the Septuagint and it is remarked upon in The Translators to the Reader,
indeed favourably. The King James translators were nevertheless aware of its deficiencies in spite of
Grievous Wolf’s insinuation to the contrary.
“Yet for all that, as the Egyptians are said of the Prophet to be men and not God, and their horses flesh
and not spirit [Isa 31:3]; so it is evident, (and Saint Jerome affirmeth as much) [S. Jerome. de optimo
genere interpret.] that the Seventy were Interpreters, they were not Prophets; they did many things well,
as learned men; but yet as men they stumbled and fell, one while through oversight, another while
through ignorance, yea, sometimes they may be noted to add to the Original, and sometimes to take
from it; which made the Apostles to leave them many times, when they left the Hebrew, and to deliver
the sense thereof according to the truth of the word, as the spirit gave them utterance. This may suffice
touching the Greek Translations of the Old Testament.”
The King James translators wrongly believed in a B.C. Septuagint. However, their statement is clear
that when the apostles gave free quotations from the Old Testament as in Acts 2, it was “as the Spirit
gave them utterance” Acts 2:4, not by means of any Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament.
Grievous Wolf is unable to prove otherwise. Neither is he able to prove that the King James translators
carried over into their work any errors from the Greek Septuagint.
See The Mythological Septuagint by Dr Peter S. Ruckman and Dr Gipp’s analysis, Question #9: What is
the LXX? Answer: A figment of someone’s imagination, samgipp.com/answerbook/?page=09.htm for
the refutation of the so-called B.C. Septuagint. Will Kinney also has an informative article entitled No
LXX – The Fictitious Use of the so-called Greek Septuagint, brandplucked.webs.com/nolxx.htm.
His question is merely aimed at sowing doubt in the mind of the reader about the 1611 Holy Bible.
Grievous Wolf’s deceptive tactic in that respect is an ancient device, well worn with satanic use.
“Yea, hath God said...?” Genesis 3:1.
32. Do you believe that God inspired the English version of the KJV to correct the Hebrew and Greek texts
from which it was translated?
See Question 30 with respect to Dr Vance’s analysis of how Psalm 12:6, 7 was fulfilled in the broad
sweep of history. See also the remainder of 2 Timothy 3:16, followed by 2 Timothy 3:17 explicitly with
respect to why “All scripture is given by inspiration of God,” including the 1611 Holy Bible:
“...and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That
the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
That is the main reason why “All scripture is given by inspiration of God,” in contrast to that proffered
by Grievous Wolf.
“The English version of the KJV” is, as Dr Vance’s analysis indicates, an improvement on “the Hebrew
and Greek texts from which it was translated.”
