In the three (3) articles, two independent researchers refute Dr. D.A. Waite's anti-intellectual and unscriptural charges against the KJB's purity and Dr. G.A. Riplinger, whose new book, Hazardous Materials soundly documents historical evidence demonstrating errors in Waite's unique editions of the T.R. and Masoretic text and sounding forth the KJB as a logical locus of preservation.
British researcher, Alan O'Reilly, appeared in the film, A Lamp in the Dark, with D.A. Waite and has now has written a ninety-eight (98) page rebuke of Dr. Waite for his unbiblical work, 'Warnings.' In that document, on p. 66, D.A. Waite said of Scrivener's text, "I believe those are the preserved Words of the original New Testament." Chapters 17 and 18 of G.A. Riplinger's new book have corrected that myth and now Dr. O'Reilly chides D.A. Waite for his lack of scholarship.
Linguist, translator, and missionary, Peter Heisey, now serving in Romania, brings the voice of the second scholarly witness against D.A. Waite in his one-hundred and nine (109) page paper, which includes e-mails from D.A. Waite (2008) where he admitted to Heisey that Scrivener did in fact have wrong deviations from the KJB.
What is the locus of preservation? It is the Holy Bibles which cover the globe.
Dr. D.A. Waite and The DBS, Dead Bible Society - Translation without Inspiration is Extinction
Dr. D.A. Waite of The Dean Burgon Society and The Bible for Today ministries has issued a warning in the form of a book entitled A WARNING!! On Gail Riplinger's KJB and Multiple Inspiration Heresy. His book is in retaliation against Dr. Mrs. Riplinger's latest work, The College of Cardinals, "Traitors, heady, highminded" 2 Tim. 3:4, D.A.Waite Denies KJB Inspiration.
In addition to attacking Dr. Mrs. Riplinger on largely personal matters, Dr. Waite denies throughout his book that the 1611 Authorized King James Holy Bible is "all scripture.....given by inspiration of God" 2 Timothy 3:16. He dogmatically insists that the expression "is given" refers only to a once-only inspiration that applies solely to the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek original texts and never to translations.

Waiting for Dr. Waite
Before "launch[ing] out into the deep", I would like to express my appreciation to several individuals who have helped me in my spiritual growth in the area of Bible texts and versions. If I have inadvertently overlooked someone, I ask your forgiveness in advance. I may have forgotten to name you, but this in no way diminishes the impact that you may have had on my life and ministry. Before I get to that list, however, there are two individuals that I have not mentioned in the list below. I would be remiss if I did not mention these two dear pastors: Pastor Bruce Stewart and Pastor Mike Hoover. These brethren have been some of my closest friends in the ministry for more than thirty years now, have always lent a listening ear to my various dilemmas, and have always offered biblical advice and counsel. Thank you, my brothers, for being there for me.
Waiting for Dr. Waite
ANALYZING THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY’S ARCTICLE OF FAITH ON THE BIBLE
Acknowledging the Bible to be the inerrant, infallible, plenarily and verbally inspired Word of God, among other equally Biblical truths, we believe and maintain the following: (…)
Note the use of the word “be” (present tense) in the statement above. This implies that “the Bible” (as described in the terms following the word “be”) is available to people today in its inerrant, infallible, plenarily and verbally inspired form. Yet DBS never says exactly WHERE this “Bible” can be obtained. If said “Bible” that is the inerrant, infallible, plenarily and verbally inspired Word of God “be” in existence today, WHERE can one obtain it?
THE BIBLE
We believe in the plenary, verbal, Divine inspiration of the sixty-six canonical books of the Old and the New Testaments (from Genesis to Revelation) in the original languages, [to be ethical, DBS should say “only in the original languages”] and in their consequent infallibility and inerrancy [in the original languages only, as far as DBS is concerned] in all matters of which they speak (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thessalonians 2:13). [Here the present tense implications of the word “consequent” indicate that these books in their plenarily, verbally, Divinely inspired form are available to people today, at least in the original languages. However, DBS never says exactly WHERE those plenarily, verbally, Divinely inspired books can be obtained and read.]
