James Knox's Jewish Kabbalist Associations

James Knox is promoted by Gail Riplinger, a Jewish Kabbalist, who he refers to as Sister Riplinger. Her maiden name is Gail Ludwig and her mentor was James H Sightler, a crypt-Jew who promoted the Talmud and who avidly promoted Riplinger's books.* James H Sightler's father was Dr. Harold B Sightler, who in 1952 founded Tabernacle Baptist Church in Greenville, SC. According to James Sightler, Harold Sightler read and praised the work of a medieval Kabbalist, Johann Reuchlin (1).

Harold B. Sightler was also a contemporary of Jack Hyles who spoke frequently at Sightler's Tabernacle Baptist Church. When Jack Hyles' 20 year adulterous affair and many other sex scandals at his First Baptist Church and other IFB Churches were exposed, Harold Sightler participated in the cover-up, according to a former student of Tabernacle Christian School:

"If a 13 year old boy in Greenville, South Carolina knew the sexual indiscretions of a minister in Hammond Indiana in the late 60's, it is not a 'local church matter'. Why did it take 20 years for John R. Rice, Harold Sightler, Bob Jones Jr. Rod Bell, Walt Hanford, Oliver B. Green, Jack Van Impe and many others, to bring this man to account. Surely they knew more than this 13 year old boy."

From February 22-26 in 2021, James Knox spoke at this same Tabernacle Baptist Church which is within a large network of 5000 "Independent Fundamental Baptist" churches. James H Sightler's son-in-law, Joel Logan, is the current pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church and a frequent speaker (from 1999-2016) at James Knox's Bible Baptist Church conferences. Joel Logan's brother, Brent Logan, is also a frequent speaker at James Knox's church conferences and is the pastor of Sweet Springs Baptist Church in Ardmore, AL where James Knox last spoke from Sept. 14-16, 2020. James Knox's Assistant Pastor, David Andrew Brown, attended Sweet Springs Baptist Church under Pastor Joel Logan's teaching.

*The publications of James Sightler and Gail Riplinger are thoroughly leavened with deceptive documentation purporting to prove that the KJV is divinely inspired and inerrant: misquoted sources, manipulated data, revised Church history, Jewish Kabbalism, false teachings, numerous fallacies, speculations, inconsistencies, double standards, and unproven assumptions.
