The King James Bible Contains God's Built-in Dictionary

Well-known author Gail Riplinger began this research upon learning of a Christian prisoner's phenomenal leap in reading test scores after reading the King James Bible daily for a year. He jumped from a 5th-grade reading level, to 17th grade (post-graduate) level.

How did reading one book, which some falsely claim is difficult, manage to help him, rather than frustrate him? The answer lies in the King James Bible's built-in dictionary.

Discover the King James Bible's Built-in Dictionary

  • The King James Bible contains God's built-in dictionary, defining each word, in its context, using the very words of the Webster's and Oxford English Dictionaries!
  • The King James Bible has a vocabulary and reading level which slowly builds progressively from Genesis to Revelation.
  • The King James Bible uses words with the appropriate sound symbolism. It has a vocabulary that phonaesthetically fulfills the Bible's own description of itself as "powerful."
  • The King James Bible is the only extant access we have to the pure language lexicons of the 16th and 17th centuries.
  • The King James Bible gives a transparent view of the Greek and Hebrew vocabulary, grammar and syntax.
  • The King James Bible has internationally recognizable vocabulary and spelling.
  • The King James Bible uses literary devices which enhance doctrinally important concepts and memorability.
  • The King James Bible has a sentence structure which enhances accurate doctrinal interpretation.
  • The King James Bible's words and sentences are patterned and woven through its fabric so as to provide a consistency of form and content.
  • The King James Bible has the precision and longevity of the legal document that it is.

Uncovers pitfalls in the NIV, NKJV, KJ21, NASB, NRSV, CEV
The Language of the King James Bible demonstrates the following and more:

  • The recent discovery of the world's oldest New Testament fragment (Magdalen Papyrus A.D. 60) proves the KJV correct and the NIV, CEV, NRSV, NASB, and most new versions wrong.
  • Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Marie Martini, editor of the Greek text which is used by NIV, NASB, and most new version translators, writes in his recent book that man can be "divine."
  • The Dead Sea Scroll scandal leaves new versions on shaky ground.
  • Forensic stylonomy would conclude that the new versions were written by an effeminate man or a woman. This corroborates the recent comment by the former Monitor of the Christian Reformed Church that NIV Old Testament Chairman, Martin Woudstra, was believed to be a homosexual.
  • The inclusive language translations are exposed.
  • The translation of Lucifer (helel) in Isa. 14:12 is proven correct.

Reader Reviews

Glasses Deals specifically with the fact that the context of the King James reveals the meanings of its "archaic" words. Interesting examples and conclusion. Also a reference to the first times a word is used carrying the word's meaning. (In my little book, I give the first reference [at least] in the Bible of each word). —David Daniels
