This is an excerpt from a radio broadcast to deal with the totally unfair attitude of many men criticizing Gail Riplinger. This rebuke were directed towards those who with malicious intent attacked her, and not towards those who criticized her but were misled.

Here is a reproduction of the portion that Gail has published herself.

"Welcome to our radio congregation: This includes a welcome to the person of Mr. James White, director of the Alpha & Omega ministries. I understand that he has promised that he will be listening ...

"Your great activity in promoting new versions, downgrading the KJV, and viciously attacking defenders of the Bible as, for example, Mrs. Gail Riplinger, is having a deadly effect in many lives ...

"Picture, if you can the multitudes of men, women and children, who will arise in the day of judgment and charge you with their doom, because you have convinced them that new bible versions which are based on inconceivably corrupted manuscripts, are in reality the true word of God ...

"My prayer to God is that he will be merciful to you and those who have been deceived by you into casting away the true bible for these miserable counterfeits ...

"In your two articles and booklet attacking Gail Riplinger and her amazing book: New Age Bible Versions, you are obviously so angry that you have not hesitated to try to destroy the credibility, honesty, and reputation of a gracious Christian woman ... this is to your shame, because you have gone far, far beyond the proper bounds of scholarly criticism ...

"These all, along with you, have opened your mouths against one of the most courageous Christian woman, in a most despicable manner ... do you not think it is time someone called a halt to these extravagant charges against a gracious Christian woman ...

"That which you cannot find wrong, you invent with false accusations, and please do not say that you do not. A simple examination of your booklet reveals the fact ...

"Now you cruel, ungracious, voracious critics, shame on you! ... You appear like so many terrible birds of prey lodging in the branches of the church ready to interfere with anything that might awaken the multitudes who have been deceived by your lectures and writings into forsaking the pure word of God (Matthew 13:31-32) ...

"Howl, you sinners, and cry unto God to have mercy on your money loving souls. Yes, you are quite right, if Gail is right in her contention that the new versions rest on corrupted MSS., and she is right, no doubt about that, you will sell less of your books which are filled with quotations from those dangerously polluted versions ...

"Rejoice in the great mercy of God: when Job's friends humbled themselves they had to come to the one they had accused so heartlessly in the midst of his other trials ...

"[T]here is a way back; take it and rejoice in restoration of your soul, and say with David the man after God's own heart: He restoreth my soul ... "
