The Ruckmanites Among Us.
Before we begin this article we need to make a statement as
to what we believe. For
those who are familiar with this website, you see that we use
the King James Version of the Bible as the basis of all our
biblical studies.
We do so without reservation, as we feel that
the King James Version is the best overall translation of the
whole Bible. We do so because of the King James elegant
and poetic flow and we do so because the King James Version
has the greatest universal acceptance among English speaking
bible believing Christians.
In stating that the King James Version is the
overall best translation of the whole Bible – while
Scripture is “infallible” “inspired” or “God breathed,”
translations as well as the doctrines and traditions of men
are not.
Theologians, when closely questioned, will
grudging admit that they, along with Bible Scholars throughout
the church age, have little understanding of quite a number
of things as to what the “inspired” Prophets and Holy Men and
Women of the Bible originally meant when they spoke and wrote
their books. Some examples
of this are: the sin of David’s numbering of Israel, numerous
passages in which the law was clearly, and even knowingly, broken
and those that committed these sins were not judged, but extolled,
while on the other hand, for the smallest knowing and unknowing
offenses, others were destroyed and seemingly given no place
for repentance. How
it is that Tamar, Ruth and Bath Sheba, with their seeming blatant
indiscretions, were not only accepted of the Lord, but extolled,
and further, that these three women are in the lineage of Christ?
How Adam is a type of Christ?
What is the doctrine of the laying of hands?
What was Paul’s thorn, or what was the nature of it?
And to these we could add, what exactly is the purpose
and nature of Water Baptism, or Holy Communion?
Of a truth, the church of this house has lost its way
– but thank God, our walk is not based upon any unbroken chain
of doctrine or teaching from the Apostles – The hope of this
great salvation of ours is in Jesus Christ Himself, who is yet
the way the truth and the life, and who yet is the great shepherd
and the door to His sheep.
All that truly come unto Him and become His disciples
indeed will learn of Him and come to know His doctrine.
It is actually not unscriptural nor unexpected
that in even the church, all things in the word of God are NOT
understood. Christ speaks of many things being “hid from
the wise and the prudent (the Rabbi’s
and the scribes of the Mishnah and the Talmud), but
revealed only to babes,” (This excludes
the scholar and the learned) Paul alternately speaks
of many “mysteries” (And some of
those mysteries were mysteries to believers and even Paul himself.)
But Paul also declares that these are revealed only to those
that have the Spirit of God.
In other words, the Lord only
“Inspires” those that walk in the Spirit.
These can see and by this same “Inspiration,”
can communicate to others that have this same Divine
Inspiration in them, aka the Spirit of God, these
hidden things of Christ and mysteries of Paul.
But as for men that know not God or walk in
the flesh – which we read all through the writings of these
scholars and translators in their complete
lack of inspiration – In truth we find that only
after their death do their perverse disciples venerate and exalt
their master and begin speaking of how holy and divinely inspired
they were. This is exactly
the case of the translators and writers of the KJV Bible.
King James himself was a very perverse and ungodly man;
he was a murderer, abusive to all around him, and writings indicate
he was a homosexual that loved young men.
The translators and writers were not selected for their
godliness and spiritual merits – they were selected from a short
list of who was available to do this work.
To prevent any wiggle room here we will list
Webster’s definition of the words in·spired; and in·spir·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French & Latin; Middle
French inspirer, from Latin inspirare, from in-
+ spirare to breathe
The first point we
want to make here is that we see that the word “inspire”
is a Latin word – and it is an untranslated word that was transliterated
into English meaning that as it was spelled, it carried letter
for letter from one language to another and this new word in
English was then ascribed certain meanings usually not tied
to what the word meant in its native language.
So if we really wanted to understand the original meaning
of this word – we would need not just to read the English definitions
provided below, but we would go into a Latin dictionary or find
sentences with the words in its original language to determine
the word’s original definition and use.
Genesis 2:7 (Latin
Vulgate) Formavit
igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terrae et
inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum
vitae et factus est homo in animam viventem
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into (Inspiravit) his nostrils the breath (Spiraculum –Inspiration as a substance) of life
(Vitae); and man became a living soul.
John
3:8 (Latin Vulgate)
Spiritus
ubi
vult spirat
et
vocem eius audis sed non scis unde veniat et quo vadat sic est
omnis qui natus est ex Spiritu
John 3:8 The
wind (Spiritus – Holy Spirit)
bloweth (Spirat – Inspires) where
it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not
tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
And the Latin word
“Inspira” is used also in 2 Timothy 3:16 all Scriptura Divinitus Inspirata
So now that we have done our work we see that
1) INSPIRA in Latin is
a God-Breathed Divine infilling.
2) They that are born of the Spirit receive a Separate Divine
infilling of the Holy Spirit of God’s Divine inspiration
3) That Scripture alone is designated as being God- Breathed
and that the words recorded as scripture
alone are declared as having proceeded out of the mouth of God
(via Moses and the Prophets) and thereby are “Inspired.”
And therefore, on
this basis and this basis alone, there is no room for Scribes
and Pharisees and declaring their earthly and fleshly works
as inspired.
And so now we read
Webster’s recoding of the INSPIRA’s redefinition in English.
1 a : to influence, move, or
guide by divine or supernatural inspiration b :
to exert an animating, enlivening, or exalting influence on
<was particularly inspired by the Romanticists (This is actually a reference to the Roman Catholicism)>
c : to spur on : IMPEL,
MOTIVATE <
This is speaking of the “zealots” the scribes and Pharisees
as motivators) threats
don't necessarily inspire people to work> d
: AFFECT
<seeing the old room again inspired him with nostalgia>
2 a archaic : to breathe
or blow into or upon b archaic : to infuse (as life) by breathing
3 a : to communicate to an agent supernaturally
b : to draw forth or bring out <thoughts inspired
by a visit to the cathedral> (Here
we see Catholic Thought)
4: to spread (rumor) by indirect means or through the agency
of another (This is speaking of doctrine and tradition as a “Divine Motivator”)
So here in Webster’s
dictionary we see the clear Latin meaning of the word has been
greatly altered – greatly diluted with the insertion of Roman
Catholic Dogma, thus greatly obscuring of the word Inspiration’s
true meaning.
So we, in this article,
define the word’s Inspire and Inspiration as they are in the
Original Latin (Because these are
Latin words) as: 1) A God-Breathed
Divine infilling. 2)
They that are born of the Spirit receive a Separate Divine
infilling of the Holy Spirit or God’s Divine inspiration
3) That Scripture alone is designated as being God- Breathed
and that the words recorded as scripture
alone are declared as having proceeded out of the mouth of God
(via Moses and the Prophets) and thereby are “Inspired.”
Job 32:7-9 Days
should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
But there is a spirit
in man: (The divine breath in all men-
from Adam) and the (there
is a separate, deeper) inspiration of the Almighty (alone as He wills that)
giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Here
in Job it is noted that neither age, nor great learned men,
nor elders – are inspired, have true wisdom or have true judgment
– this is stating that all of these stand before God as corrupt
and falling short – and it is only those whom receive a separate
lasting infilling of “Divine Inspiration” as Moses, Christ,
and the Apostles that can teach the true wisdom and administer
God’s rule over men.
We will now begin our examination of the
Ruckmanites claim of the King James Version of the Bible being
“Inspired” and “God Breathed.”
First we will bring
up the issue that in 1611 the Hebrew language had been a dead
language for almost 1400 years. And that it wasn’t until the
mid-1800’s that Hebrew became a written and spoken language
again. (We
want to note here that in the course of my studies over the
years, I have consistently found the worst translation work
in the KJV is in the Book of Psalms.
It is in Psalms where so many of David’s prophecies are
recorded. In the KJV
many of these prophecies have been either obscured or altogether
blotted out.) So, what we are suggesting here is that the 50 scholars in
the KJV were weak in their Hebrew and that this is especially
evident in their work in the book of Psalms.
Also we need to note here that in the
mid-1800’s there was an unprecedented great interest in biblical
home study materials and the majority of those were geared toward
the KJV Bible, looking up the words in it in the original Greek,
Hebrew, and Aramaic. These works include: Strong’s and other Concordances, various
Greek and Hebrew Lexicons, Greek and Hebrew Interlinears, Word
Study Books, Books on
Idioms, Books on Manners and Customs, – and a number of Books,
Interlinears, and Concordances on the Greek Septuagint.
All of these home biblical study books date back to that
era. They were created by spiritually hungry Fundamentalists, and for a generation
or two, these basked in the light from the original Greek and
Hebrew texts that had not been seen by the common believer
since the days of the early church.
But that day was short lived, for as we read in the book
of Judges “There arose a generation (of preachers and teachers of Belial) that knew not the Lord.” Most notably these corrupt men that arose,
arose from within the ranks of the Southern Baptist Convention. These preachers and teachers, or Belial, railed
against this light in the hands of the common believer.
These men are those that first declared Dr. CI Schofield and
his annotated Bible as their “Inspired Pope” and the “sun-source”
of all their revelation. In
so doing, the men declared that the common believer had no more
need to search the Original Greek and Hebrew, and call into
question a single dot or tittle of Dr. CI Schofield’s Bible,
for to do so was to call in question God himself.
The Ruckmanites being the “plagiarice”
(plagiarizing) zealots
that they are, stole the doctrine of Schofield’s KJV annotated
bible “being inspired” down to every alphabetical letter in
its notes, and replaced the idol of “CI Schofield” with the
idol of “John Calvin,” and replaced the idol of CI Schofield’s
“Inspired” KJV Bible notes with the idol of the “Inspired” KJV itself.
Idolatry is idolatry! And just as Moses
made a brass snake and put it upon a pole that it wrought healing
and deliverance – and backslidden Israelites generations began
worshipping this brass snake – So these Ruckmanites idolatrously worship the KJV Bible
above even God Himself, and seek to misuse God’s word of deliverance
to bring His people once more into bondage, and to cause them
to sin greatly against God with of all things, the printed word
of God. Their behavior
is not unique, for so do all the clones and disciples of Kenneth
Hagan, a former southern Baptist preacher himself.
Acts
17:11-13 These were more noble
than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with
all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether
those things were so.
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women
which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that
the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither
also, and stirred up the people.
In
the book of Acts, when Paul the Apostle arrived in Thessalonica,
he came in upon a group of Jews called “The Bereans.”
Luke tells us that they were more honorable/ more noble than anyone else that Paul had come in contact
with previously in that when Paul preached, They searched the Original Greek
and Hebrew
scriptures (aka
as the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Old Testament) daily to see if those things
were so. In other words, these
Jews did not accept on face value anything that the Apostle
preached to them, and if anything Paul preached was not found
not to be in the Greek and Hebrew of the Law
and/or the Prophets they promptly rejected or lined out that item that Paul
had preached until a proper clarification or rebuttal with Scripture
was made. Paul marveled
at this, and lauded this behavior as being: “more noble” and “more honorable.” He praised
these common people for doing such and implied that all believers,
from the least to the greatest, were to follow their example
of searching the Law and the prophets daily to see if what is
being preached and taught is so.
So here, in the Book of Acts, we have these
Berean Jews making examination of the new covenant preachings
and teachings of Paul, the Apostle himself, from
the original texts of scripture in the Greek and Hebrew (aka
as the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Old Testament),.
Any single teaching of Paul that could not be found in
original scripture – was then summarily dismissed or voided
out by these “More Honorable”
of Paul’s hearers.
We see here, Paul,
the Apostle, and the “Revelations” and “Inspiration” he received
of Christ’s hand, bowed directly to the authority of Scripture
in the Original Greek and Hebrew Old Testament. And Paul so bowed (as the servant of all) to the least believer. Paul acknowledged for all time this right of all believers to call into
question any teaching or doctrine that can not be found as such
in the Original Hebrew and Greek of the Old Testament as part
of the “Priesthood of all believers.”
This enumerated right was given to the common believer
that on the basis of Scripture written in the original Greek
and Hebrew of Old Testament, no false apostle, no false prophet,
no false evangelist, no false Pastor or Teacher would be able
to stand before them in their own name and authority and declare
unto them false doctrines and traditions.
Here, Moses is speaking to the
common believers as the final defense of the written
word in the Original Greek and Hebrew and word that proceedeth
of God, Moses declares their inalienable right to question, and to judge,
and to summarily reject, Prophesies, Dreams, Visions,
Doctrines, Traditions, Signs, and wonders, from the coming of
the false Levites, false scribes of the Talmud and the false
prophets that would bear these witness -- and their culmination
in the Antichrist and False Prophet.
Deuteronomy 13:1-3 If there arise among
you a prophet, (an apostle, an evangelist, a pastor or teacher) or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
And the sign or the wonder come to
pass, (Matthew 24) whereof he spake
unto thee, saying, (And he speak an enticing doctrine or tradition
to lead you astray) Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not
known, and let us serve them; 3Thou shalt
not hearken unto the words (The doctrines and traditions) of
that prophet, (apostle,
evangelist, pastor, teacher) or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, (The individual common believers
and their households) to know whether ye love (Greek Septuagint Agape) the LORD your God with all your heart
and with all your soul.
What preacher
today would take a challenge to back up their teachings and
doctrines using only the Law and the Prophets?
And yet Christ did. The
twelve Apostles did, and Paul the Apostle did. The Church of today
suffers from a series of terrible spiritual maladies primarily
because they have utterly rejected the Old Testament as being
“Old Covenant,” which these corrupt and blind teachers and teachers
have taught no longer applies the to church or believers, or
they call it in prejudicial terms, “The Jewish Bible,” meaning
that this is for the Jews only, when nothing could be farther
from the truth. Christ
Himself tells us that the foundation of everything He did and
said, aka the Gospels and New Testament, is the Old Testament
– the Law and the prophets.
The New Testament needs to be viewed as being synoptic
truth and contains the spiritual names, spiritual addresses,
and the spiritual phone numbers, for many (not all) of the spiritual
truths that are located in the Law and the Prophets.
And as noted in several articles on this website
among the preachers and ministers today this practice of the
Bereans is hated and declared as being corrupt and dishonorable,
and is routinely used as grounds for the disfellowship.
Those who would practice this inalienable right of the
priesthood of all believers, as enumerated in the Bereans and
Deuteronomy 13:1-3, are those of a “rebellious spirit” and those
who would “cast discord among the brethren.”
Ahab declared this same pernicious doctrine
to Elijah in:
1 Kings 18:17-18 And
it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab
said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
And he (Elijah) answered, I have not
troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
And, I would declare
this day that it is not I that trouble the Church with my one
Bible containing the Law the Prophets, the Gospels and Epistles,
in its original Greek Hebrew and Aramaic, but it is you with
all the false apostles, false prophets, false evangelists, false
teachers and false pastors, living and dead, with all their
false doctrines and false traditions and false dreams and false
visions and false prophecies and false signs and false wonders
that trouble the whole of the church – for these all do teach
the way of Baalim and the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes that
is contained in the Talmud, all of whom the Lord will shortly
consume with His breath.
All of this is especially enraging to the Calvinist
Ruckmanites and those of like spirit.
These cannot abide those who walk in the spirit of the
Bereans. It has them, gnashing their teeth, for truly
here what is at issue is the doctrine of the priesthood of all
believers, which the Ruckmanites and all their clones despise,
in the same manner in which Cain despised Able.
And this is also declared by Christ Himself to come to
pass as well in Matthew 24.
The inalienable right of all believers to question,
and to judge, and to summarily reject, whatever can not be found
in the original Hebrew and Greek of Scripture is so contrary to what is taught today, yet this right of
all believers
is the cornerstone
of the free practice of the priesthood of all believers. It is this right throughout Church history
that has been the single most attacked thing by the Roman Catholic
Church and later by Protestant leaders and their denominations. It was the Catholic Church in response to this right that first
introduced the throne of Peter – and it was the Catholic Church
that first pressed the laity for unquestioning submission to
their preachers and teachers as the earthly representation of
Christ Himself (as antichrists). A war ensued almost 1000 years
as the Roman Catholic Church sought with arrest, torture, and
death, to root out and destroy the right of the least to the
greatest believer within their laity to lineout any preaching
or teaching that could not be found in the original Greek and
Hebrew of scripture. Within
the first century of its existence, the Catholic Church no longer
desired to walk in the standard of Paul and Christ in submission
to scripture so they banned the laity from “Interpreting the
Bible” that means the Laity thereafter was limited to only quote
verses of the then Latin Vulgate Translation (Their “inspired”
KJV of the day). The
Catholic Church then tiring altogether of even of the scripture
in the Latin Vulgate then imposed a death sentence for reading
of it altogether or the possession of it by the laity.
Ruckmanism in choosing this same path of Roman
Catholic forced submission of their own corrupt priesthood over
the priesthood of all believers, abrogating their fundamental
rights of the redress of all teachings that can not be explicitly
found in the original Greek and Hebrew Old Testament, But the Ruckmanites sin farther, in that they
also ban the rights of the common believers to examine their
doctrines and teachings regarding the Original Greek Text of
Words of Christ and the Apostles in the New Testament as well.
Ruckmanism bans altogether as did Roman Catholicism,
the reading of the Original Greek and Hebrew by anyone, believer
and non-believer alike. Ruckmanism also promotes the confiscation and
destruction of all other versions of the Bible besides their
own “Catholic Version.”
In a letter of Africanus by Tertullian, we
find that in the year 200 AD that the most scholarly in the
church no longer had the inspiration that Christ and Paul spoke
of, so the church was having to seek out Jews – Talmudic Jews,
to explain to them passages and the use of words they did not
understand. What they
received from these Talmudized Jews was teachings and doctrines
other than what Christ and the Apostles had first spoken.
We note here that historically, this is the same period
that the “altar”
first appeared in the church and a “fake Levitical priesthood” and these also began
to offer the “false sacraments and
offering” of what would become “the
mass.” So we now see clearly the beginning of the
Talmudization of the church, all of which are abominations to
the Lord and to this day is contained within every Talmudized
church and ministry.
The Ruckmanites assert that the church and
people are far more corrupt today than in 1611, so therefore
the KJV is far more reliable than any Bible translation that
could ever be written today. We note here that the church of 1611 was far
more corrupt and dishonorable than in the years from 200-230
AD, and conversely the Church of 200-230 AD was far more dishonorable
and corrupt than the church that existed during the time of
Christ and the Apostles. But in truth, the Ruckmanites hold themselves
to be above all that corruption, and state that they have the
purity of the early Church – yet they will not allow themselves
to be examined, nor any of their doctrines by the standards
of Paul or Christ, openly proclaiming their dishonesty, arrogance,
and hatred as spirituality.
We find this identical behavior of being above
the original Hebrew and Greek of Scripture, in the scribes the
Pharisees and Lawyers – these were the authors of the Mishnah
and the Talmud at the time of Christ. Both Christ and Paul emphatically declare that
God will not inspire to show any of these men the truth. Their modern counterparts are
Bible translators, Bible scholars, and the
academic pastors and teachers that, in contempt of original
Scripture, write their own commentaries and translations to
suit themselves and bolster their own agenda and doctrines.
While the Ruckmanite’s are quick to point out the unholy
bias and adulteration of the Bible in many modern translations,
their silence on these same issues in the King James Translation
is deafening.
The corrupt words and traditions of frail men,
and men with specific agendas, are not the “Inspired” and “God
Breathed” words of Moses and the prophets.
Nor are their translations that carry the biases of their
churches and denominational masters – which Paul declares to
be the veil of the flesh which has fallen over the heart of
the whole church when they read scripture to this day. Therefore, all these translations sin and have
fallen short of the Glory of God that is in the Original Greek
and Hebrew. So to suggest
that a man tainted copy is equal with, or superior to what God
originally spoke, is the height of deceit and arrogance -- and
smacks of the words and deeds of the Scribes and Pharisees who
declared their oral doctrines and traditions were superior to
God’s written word.
In this article, when we speak of the deficiencies
of the KJV, we need to be mindful that all of the specific deficiencies
described here are in all other English translations as well,
with the exception of some of John Calvin’s and Martin Luther’s
doctrines and traditions that were enshrined in the King James
Version in specific wording and phrases.
So with this said, we will begin an examination
of Ruckmanism
Who or what are “Ruckmanites?”
(Ruckmanites are the disciples and clones of Peter Ruckman born 1921.
He received his doctorate in philosophy from Bob Jones University. This man is the founder or the Pensacola Bible
Institute, has written 40 books, as well as his own set of Bible
commentaries.)
Ruckmanites assert
that not only is the King James Bible a good translation or
even the best English Bible translation., but they unabashedly
declare that the King James Version of the Bible is an
“inspired” translation – in other words, Peter Ruckman
and his disciples and clones claim that every single word in
the translation by the 50 scholars and staff that wrote the
King James version from a combination of the original manuscripts
and their insertions of “non manuscript translator traditions”
are all “God breathed,” the meaning of which is that none
can call into question a single word or doctrine of tradition
that is based upon the verbiage in the KJV Bible.
This includes the
translators’ use of dozens of untranslated Greek and Latin words.
A short list of these words are Christ – (Christos), Antichrist
–(Antichristos) Angel (Anggelos) Church (Latin ) Communion,
(Latin ) Saint (Latin Santos) mystery – (mysterion), Synagogue,
(Sunagoge) Apostle – (Apostolos), Prophet (Prophetes), Evangelist
(Evengelion), Bishop (Latin), Prophesy (Prophetos), Prophecy
(prophetos), Tradition (Latin Tradicos), Elect Eklektos, Election
Eklektos, Predestine (Latin word), Predestinate (Latin word),
Heresy (Hairesis) Judge (Latin word), Judgment (Latin word),
Law (Latin Word), Lawyer (Latin word, In England you may recall
they call lawyers barristers) Fornication (Latin word)
Inspire and Inspiration (Latin words)
In 1611 these Latin words were not in use in common English. In England, the KJV translation was so different
from the common tongue, it was called “The
King’s English” short for King James Bible English. The effect was that it greatly “Latinized”
the English language, which by design ceded the control of defining
these new words in the Bible from English linguists to Roman
Catholics that yet held sway in the British education system
of the day.
A smaller, much smaller issue is that some
of the words in the KJV have had great change in the English
language especially over the last 100 years. And example is
the word Adultery --
the word once meant to: mix or alter. It has come to mean: to sleep with your neighbor’s wife or someone else other than
your neighbor’s wife.
When the 7th commandment, “Thou shalt not
commit adultery” was given, at one time this was understood
to mean: thou shalt not inter-marry in the twelve tribes of
Israel, and thou shalt not inter-marry with the unrighteous
of the lands around you. It
was also understood in that day, the 10th commandment
was; Thou shalt not lust after your neighbor’s wife, or anything
else of his or hers. And
there are other words, that over time, have greatly changed,
so that the truth they once spoke is now somewhat obscured.
We see from these untranslated foreign words
that were inserted into the KJV, that by the sheer volume of
them and by the importance of these select words that they do
alter and obscure the original meaning of the writers of these
passages. The subtlety
of this is that since “it is” in the Bible – and in the KJV,
that these alterations or adulteries of the word of God are
accepted as being “pure” and “without spot,” which we will see
is not at all the case.
For example the word Apostlos, which is untranslated, but instead transliterated
as the word Apostle in
the KJV and all other translations – The
word Apostle is used as a title in the KJV, but it
is a word inn Greek and it means “One
who has been sent.” The word as used in the Greek Septuagint means
“One has been sent from God.” In the Greek Septuagint we read that Moses
was an Apostle; Aaron was an Apostle, and Isaiah was an Apostle. Most pastors and students would not have any
idea about these things. But
the meaning here when Christ called his disciples and named
some Apostles was a statement that Jesus was doing something
that God alone could do in the Old Testament – naming and sending
forth His Apostles. This act is a statement of Christ’s Deity that is not conveyed at
all in the KJV or any other English translation. Later Paul confirms this as Christ setting in the body these ministries.
Today the corrupt church believes that it is the arbitrator
of these ministries, but the Bible declares no where that Christ
has relinquished that right to any church or denomination, not
even when Paul and the Apostles yet lived.
Another verse is in Acts where we read that
“The Holy Spirit selected Paul and Silas to go forth.
-- And the standing Apostles and Prophets were only able to
confirm what Jesus Himself has selected and lay hands on them
and bless. In this case,
we see that the Apostles and Prophets did not lead, but they
were subservient to Christ’s lead even after the resurrection
and even a decade or two after the Day of Pentecost. I think Christ would take exception to the
KJV adulterating His words in the passage cited as well as in
other places.
Another example would be the Latin word ‘Heresy’ this is a very powerful word in English.
Not too long ago, people were being executed in the name
of God for this crime of crimes. Heresy, we are
told, means spurious and damnable teachings – doctrines
and teaching that are not just different from the doctrine of
Christ and the Apostles -- but doctrines and teachings that
are seducing and licentious in nature that causes people to
sin and thus becomes a contagion – and if such is not destroyed,
it will over take a church or denomination. (This
concept is biblical, but this is not at all the meaning of the
word Hairesis in the Greek.) The
word Hairesis is neither positive nor negative, it simply
means sect. Paul declares in Acts that there is of a sect of Jews called the Nazerites. Paul elsewhere says he worships in the way
called the sect and Paul
declares that there will be sects
among believers. In
1 Corinthians, Paul rebukes the sects
of Paul, Apollos, Peter and Christ as being carnal, but not
worthy of disfellowship or death.
However, when you replace the neutral word
“sect,” with the damning word ‘heresy,” all these verses are greatly altered.
When the KJV says Paul, “I worship God in the
way called Heresy – the King James Version actually has Paul
stating the charge against Christians in the Talmud concerning
Christians that he followed and had executed.
I think that Paul would take great exception to the murderous
words put in his mouth here in the KJV.
So we now see how the willful insertion of
these untranslated words have an effect upon all who read these
passages by making the reader see things that God, Christ and
the Apostles did not say or even imply.
These untranslated words also obscure and/or hide things
that were said by God, Christ and the Apostles. – And with the
shear mass of these adulterated untranslated foreign words in
the text of the KJV and all translations,
this has allowed Protestant “Talmudist” theologians to come
in and further redefine these word’s meanings and thereby codify
their unscriptural doctrines and traditions while making these
adulterated teaching seem to the casual reader with little knowledge
of biblical languages as part of the bible. – So these fall prey to these pernicious teachers
who would bind men to themselves and to their corrupt doctrines
and idolatrous traditions in the same exact manner that the
Scribes, Pharisees, Lawyers and Priests did this to the common
Jews in the Gospels.
Beyond the insertion of untranslated foreign
words in KJV text, these same unregenerate translators of the
KJV and all other translations would take a Greek or a Hebrew word,
and based upon the written text, make up new meanings for this
word -- So we will call this act against the pure
word of God “textual adultery.” An act in which, instead of authoring faithful
translation, the translator believes he or she is waxing eloquent
or even artistic as they offer fanciful interpretations that
is akin to one writing a fiction novel rather than handling
the Holy Word of God.
To see this, one needs only to open a Strong’s
Concordance or a Greek Lexicon.
The way these reference materials work is the first few
words under a Greek or Hebrew word are the meaning of the word,
and thereafter we begin to see the translators wander off the
beaten path and ascribe broader and broader meanings until they
are giving meanings that have nothing to do with the word. If the truth be known, there are thousands
of words in the King James Bible as
well as all other translations that have been “textually
adulterated” for no other reason than it suited some
translator some where along the line, and this became part of
the “traditional” translation
of certain words in certain texts.
On that regard, these translator
traditions are kept from translation to translation.
In this practice, described translators offer interpretations
or words in the place of translation – and in dozens of cases
we can see the word choices of these interpretations in the
place of consistent, accurate, translation actually enhance
Bible alternating denominational church doctrines, i.e., Anglican
Doctrine, Calvinistic Doctrine, and Roman Catholic Doctrine. Interestingly enough, on a Roman Catholic website
I found a fascinating article on the Roman Catholic church’s
concerted effort to infiltrate and influence Bible translations
before and after the reformation – in it they described and
boast of their infiltration of the staffs in non-Catholic translations
and their work to maintain what they viewed as key Catholic
doctrine, and in the article they name by name the KJV and many
other translations. (With a little
work you can find this on Google as I did.)
In the work of Bible translation one must realize
that there never have been an extreme amount of true Greek and
Latin Scholars – and that in truth, the bulk of them have received
their training in Roman Catholic Universities – Some of their
notable scholars include Jerome, Augustine, Luther, Calvin,
Menno Simons. One needs
to realize that the Protestant movements “three greatest theologians”
were all Roman Catholic Priests.
Two of the three, Luther and Calvin, were Augustinian
Monks and Roman Catholic Doctors and taught in Roman Catholic
theological seminaries for a decade or more. – So why then would
it be any surprise that their disciples would have put in their
translation work in the KJV and other Bibles a decided leaning
toward Luther and Calvin’s Augustinian Roman Catholic concepts? Specifically the doctrines of Election, Eternal security, and predestination.
These are what the Calvinist Ruckmanites are
really fighting for. They
are not fighting for the words per se of the King James Version
– because they ignore hundreds upon hundreds of these so called
“inspired” and “God Breathed” verses, along with paragraphs
and entire chapters that do not suit their legalistic God who
no longer speaks, heals, or moves by His Spirit in the Church
agenda, which are straight from the teachings of John Calvin
as he executed and burned at the stake Anabaptists and those
who dared to question his doctrines and teaching from the Original
Greek and Hebrew. So
these do truly follow their father.
What Ruckmanites are truly fighting for is the Augustinian/
Talmudic doctrines and Roman Catholic traditions of Luther and
Calvin that were with such care, enshrined in the KJV.
They writhe and scream and gnash their teeth as one possessed
when anyone touches their festering boils of corrupt doctrine
with the sharp two-edged lance from the higher authority of
the original languages of Scripture.
Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall
he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
them that are weaned from (Hebrew
to suck) the milk, and drawn (Hebrew to take) from the
breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(This is what these babes are
getting when they suck and take from the breast of the Holy
Spirit)
1
Peter 2:2 As newborn babes,
desire (Greek Epi-Pothenos -- to love beside. To
have strong affection for, to earnestly desire)
the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Here we see that Peter referring to Isaiah 28:9 and declaring
that these babes are not being weaned
from milk as the Ruckmanites would tell us from reading
what the “inspired’ sages and scribes of the KJV errantly translated
these words as. Peter instead tells us that in Isaiah. that
the ‘weaning from,”
of the KJV and in the Greek Septuagint, would be
better rendered from the original Hebrew as “to
earnestly desire.”
So Peter tells us here that even the Greek
Septuagint’s translation (the bible that Christ and Paul used)
is not correct in this place and he renders the Greek of the
Septuagint from Apo-gegalaktis-menoi -- To wean off from to Epipothenos – to earnestly desire to convey that the newborn babe(s) spoken of
by Isaiah is/are earnestly
suckling and drawing from the milk of the breasts of the Spirit and the word.
Just looking at a few verses here with the
word Babes we find:
Matthew
21:16
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith
unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise?
Here now is the Ruckmanites “inspired” and
“God breathed” work from these 50 unregenerate sages and scribes
of the KJV.
Psalm 8:2 (KJV) Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength – (These words meanings were literally just
made up on a whim.)
But
far be it for these religious zealots to admit wrong, in the
face of overwhelming evidence, their personal deceit.
Their zealotry is not toward the Lord, but toward their
corrupt ideals. So, a Ruckmanite can no more repent of their
religious hatred and intolerance than a radical Islamist can. Whether I give one example, five examples,
ten examples, or a hundred, it makes no difference, because
those who walk in this deceitful spirit can and will not be
moved by any amount of Scripture or the words of Christ and
the Apostles. Christ
had the same problem with the Scribes and Pharisees, no matter
how much He quoted scripture and no matter how many signs wonders
and diverse miracles He did, they would not repent from their
following of their “Ruckmanite” Talmudic beliefs.
Here now is the Greek
Septuagint, the Bible of Christ and the Apostles and the early
church which Christ quotes verbatim.
Psalm 8:2 (Greek Septuagint) Out of
the mouths of Babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise
We see demonstrated here that Christ was quoting
out of the Greek original text of the Septuagint – not the KJV.
You can go down the line from the majority
of quotes from Christ and the Apostles and find them word for
word in the Greek Septuagint and then you will find both Christ
and the Apostles quoting the Septuagint and where its translation
of the 70 erred, we will find Christ and the Apostles quoting
the Hebrew or offering a different word in the Greek in the
place of a word. Oddly
enough, they do not ever correct a word that is in the Hebrew
text.
Further, Christ is yet the way the truth and
the life. He is the dispenser of the path we are to walk
– aka our guide. He
is the dispenser of the truth to all who would become His disciples
and learn of Him and He is yet the dispenser of Life that is
healing, deliverance, salvation, and eternal life in the world
to come. But more than
that, Christ is yet also the dispenser of the Holy Ghost, not
men. So we can yet,
in this late date, without the benefit of an unbroken chain
of “Spirit-filled” men and women from the times of Christ and
the Apostles to now – receive salvation, healing deliverance, and all truth and the infilling
of the true uncorrupted Holy Spirit at Christ’s hand. -- This
should be of great comfort to as many as shall receive the Lord
even after the great corruption and gross darkness that have
occurred over the last 1800 years. Through the Holy Spirit we have a great comfort
that even in what I speak here of these Bible translations,
the Holy Spirit can yet guide God’s true priesthood of all believers
into all truth without the hand of the Talmudized apostles,
prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, of this day that
cry out to sell you their corrupt wares from every quarter.
Hebrews
3:14 For
we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of
our confidence stedfast unto the end;
We see in the New Testament that it is solidly
laid out that men would not, for all time, follow sound doctrine,
but that the apostles saw in the spirit, our day.
2
Timothy 4:3 For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
I would say unto you fear not, for both Christ
and the Apostles saw us afar off in this day and prophesied
unto us what has befallen the church.
And halleluiah, we have not been forsaken and left to
die or rot on the vine. – The cure of the corruption we see
so clearly all around us, this perversion that is running rampant
in the church, still has the same cure as did in the days of
Christ and the Apostles. The
cure is reject and turn away from the doctrines and traditions
of men that can not be wholly substantiated in the original
Greek and Hebrew of scripture – that over 150 years ago were
written for none Greek and Hebrew speaking home bible study
people to use - With that, to wholly embrace and follow Christ
and learn of Him with all our heart soul, mind, and strength.
All who do such as promised in scripture, He will be
found of them, and that He will lead and guide them into all
truth.
Luke
10:22-24 All
things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth
who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the
Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. And
he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed
are the eyes which (shall) see the things that ye see: For I tell you,
that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things
which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things
which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Blessed are those that in the
future that shall be taught by His Spirit of Revelation – the
same Spirit of Revelation and seeing that caused Abraham to
be justified by faith and him to be accounted for righteousness,
this is the same Spirit of Revelation and seeing that caused
Peter to say thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. In this verse Christ tells us that we, as the
priesthood of all believers, shall see things in Scripture by
this same Spirit that not even Moses, David, Isaiah and Daniel
understood.
John 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because
thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 3:13-15 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but He (Christ)
that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in
heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted
up: That whosoever believeth (That shall believe, believe, and believe)
in Him (Not
their pastor or church or denomination) should not
perish, but have eternal life.
John 12:31-33 Now is the judgment
of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the
earth, will draw all men unto Me. (Christ did not die “to pack out churches
for the glory of God” – Christ died to draw all men unto Himself
alone) This he said, signifying what death
he should die.
In these last two verses, first and foremost they are speaking of
Christ and His death. But
these two verses are also speaking of the Gospel that the Apostles
and disciples were to preach to all nations.
This Gospel is one of Christ, and Christ crucified, it
is one of Christ, and Christ alone being lifted up and exalted.
Not the other gospels of men, ministries, churches, end-time
companies, or groups of Spirit endued believers, but the true
Gospel of Christ and Christ alone. If Christ is preached in this fashion – Christ
declares that those converted will not perish but experience
eternal life while they yet live (The power and signs of the Gospel) and that He (Christ) shall draw all men unto Himself
alone. This is not remotely
what the Ruckmanites or any other “Bible Believing” church or
denomination preaches or teaches in this hour.
Since the late 1800’s, even to this day, this
is declared to be the Laodicean hour. -- An hour filled with
doctrine and truth, but the truth and doctrine are corrupt and
lead not to repentance or to Christ, but to those that speak
of and confess and profess to have all truth and are in need
of nothing. – Theirs is a truth that leads to blindness. Theirs is a truth that leads to deafness of God. Theirs is a truth that strips one of any spirituality
and like Adam and Eve, leaves them in nakedness, filled with
loathing and wretchedness and in a perverse and unrepentant
state before God. Theirs
is a spiritual walk of so-called moderation and so-called balance
of spiritual lukewarmness, a gospel in which one never need
fall and break before the Lord -- and therefore it is a gospel
in which one never comes to the knowledge of the truth, which
is Christ Himself.
These are filled with great swelling words
of their possessing of all truth, -- but they are devoid of
truth. They have great swelling words of their possessing
of all power, but they have no power. They have great swelling words of repentance and salvation, but
they know no repentance, and therefore they have no salvation
either. They have great swelling words of progressive
restoration of the return of the five fold ministry, but they
have no restoration and no true sent from God’s throne stands
in any of their 5-fold ministry.
In this perverse prismatic view of Ruckmanism, they so
also claim, with great swelling words, to be able to bring the
church back into the state that it once was during the time
of the Apostles -- but
as their father’s before them, who, generation after generation,
have beguiled the souls of men to follow them to die in the
wilderness, as they supposedly were being led into all truth
and into a promised land of a man-made spiritual utopia – which
they could not deliver, and these shall not be able to deliver
in this day either.
I attended a Charismatic Church submitted to
Kenneth Hagan for over a year.
What most people do not realize is that Hagan was a Baptist
and went to a Baptist Bible college, My Pharisee of Pharisees
told me when his Baptist Pastor attended Bible school, Hagan
was still a Baptist and you need to come and preach at his school
when he attended it in the 1960’s.
In Hagan circles today concerning their pernicious doctrines,
concerning healing, the atonement of Christ, their confession
teachings, their teachings of their standing with Christ, and
their teachings of tithing and the prosperity Gospel – They
have over the past three decades become Ruckmanites. For in the early 1970’s, where they once appealed to Greek and Hebrew
words to sharpen the meaning of words in the KJV, they now speak
contemptuously of the Bible’s original languages using phrases
like “You can’t Greek that out.” Or “Just try to Greek this
one out.”
Returning once more to the “traditions of translators”
and their adulteration of the KJV and all other Bible translations,
beyond their work of inserting untranslated foreign words, and
in the place of translation offering selective interpretations,
of any given word, the next level, also in hundreds of places
in the KJV and all other translations, is the use of lengthy explanations, in
the place of translation, which is the insertion of pure commentary and speculation, which has no place
in the biblical text. In
one passage I was working on for one of these studies I found
approximately 35 words added to a 2 to 3 verse paragraph.
As bad as these things are,these disciples
of Ruckman and their clones are not satisfied to falsely for
their own personal gain to declare the KJV
Inspired and God Breathed. But
they then are willing to go a giant step farther, for they declare:
“Another
is the fact that there are errors in the Masoretic that the King James actually corrects such as in Psalm
22.”
This
is adding to the book and taking away from the book. Christ
accuses the Scribes Pharisees and Lawyers of committing this
exact sin while – the Ruckman and his disciples and clones laud
as the height of their idolatrous worship of the KJV.
Deuteronomy
4:1-2
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may
live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your
fathers giveth you. Ye shall not
add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish
ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which
I command you.
Revelation 22:18 For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy
of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book:
This is an admission of these Scribes, Pharisee’s,
and Lawyers of their knowing that the KJV, in many places, differs
from the original text -- but instead of them having to bow
to the original text in the face of these blatant alterations
– they instead boast of them declaring them as inspired above
the Original text and God breathed above the words of the prophets
– these words and notions being directly out of the Babylonian
Talmud rather than from the Words of Christ and the Apostles.
Here is a sample of Ruckmanism Rhetoric
“Since
you do believe "the Bible" is our final authority
in all matters of faith and practice, could you please
show us where Jesus, Peter, James, Paul, or John ever practiced
your terminology ("the Greek text says...the Hebrew text
says....the originals say...a better rendering would be....older
manuscripts read...." etc.)?”
Our response is: Neither Christ, nor Peter,
nor James, nor Paul, make the KJV Bible their final authority. You know full well that nowhere in either the Old or New Testament
is that ever said or implied.
Second point is that Christ, Paul, James, and
Peter practice exactly what you are attempting to deny regarding
the quotation and exegesis Greek and Hebrew text, for every
time in the New Testament in the Gospels where Christ says:
“It
is written” he is citing unknown to you either the Hebrew
Masoretic text, or the Greek text of the
Greek Septuagint.
Now the translators of the KJV made a concerted
effort with certain verses in the NT to match them word for
word with the text of the scriptures cited in the OT.
This is most noted in the “Key” verses prophesying of
Christ’s coming, but many other passages cited by Christ and
the Apostles read vastly different than what was written in
the Old Testament. This
is due in part to several different reasons:
First and foremost, neither Christ nor the
Apostles are quoting from the KJV.
When you look up these verses in the Original Greek,
the majority of them will be found word for word in the Greek
Septuagint translation which was the Bible that Christ and the
Apostles used and the Bible of the New Testament church until
about 230 AD when the Latin Bible began to take their place.
If one were to show themselves worthy and in
no need of being ashamed by studying the Word of God in its
original languages, they would have known this, they would also
know that in certain passages the Hebrew in place of the Greek
is cited for the exact reason that the wording is different
and carried a different meaning that the uninspired Greek Septuagint
and KJV do not carry.
And thirdly, we see a passage where the Apostles
quote an entire passage flawlessly from the Septuagint except
of a single word change – this single word change denotes the
Apostles noting that “a better translation of this word in the
Greek or Hebrew would be” thus.
Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning
of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither
hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared
for him that waiteth for him.
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.
In conclusion, it
needs to be stated that with the coming of the Internet, there
is no longer an excuse for any that they can not look up and
examine these things for themselves in the Original Greek and
Hebrew, as all these texts are online in multiple forms.
There are available multiple study aides, tutorials and
online interactive lexicons – the only reason people don’t do
so is a lack of hunger for the things of God and a lack of a
love of the truth.
Proverbs 25:2 It
is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings
is to search out a matter.
My
Pharisee of Pharisees reported that in his Bible seminary about
60% of the students are Ruckmanites.
And one has proudly displayed in his dorm room, a New
King James Bible with a bunch of bullet holes in it.
For close to 1500 years, no common man has been allowed
to own the Bible. For
almost 1000 years commoners were arrested, tortured, beaten
to death, killed by the sword, drowned, and burned at the stake
their crime possessing or passing copies of small portions of
scripture and so much of these writings and copies were of far
worse translations than the worst available in the English language
today. This is such
utter contempt and disrespect for the word of God these children
are truly of their father, the devil, as Christ said to the
Pharisees.
The
Lord spoke to me in the night, at two in the morning, concerning
the cornerstone of this doctrine of the Ruckmanites regarding
the King James Version of the Bible being inspired / God breathed.
The
first point is that this is a foundational error regarding the
word of God itself, and it is an attack upon the inspiration
of “Scripture itself.” Within this doctrine is the notion that the
notion of the Spirit of God falling upon 50 men 1578 years after
Pentecost, a group of admittedly unsaved, unregenerate men that
were avowed Anglicans and Roman Catholic Scholars and that their
words have superseded the words of Moses, the Prophets, Christ,
and the Apostles.
This
is a quote of regarding the authority of men over scripture
is straight out of the Babylonian Talmud.
Erubin 21b Soncino edition My son,
be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes
(Of the Talmud) than in
the words of the Torah (Old
Testament).
Ruckmanism Version:
My son be more careful in the observance of the words of the
Scribes of the KJV than in the words of words of the bible in
the original Greek and Hebrew.
Michna Sanhedryn 11:3 It is more wicked to
question the words of the Rabbis (Of the Talmud) than that of the Torah.
Ruckmanism
Version:
It is more wicked to question the words of the Rabbis of the
KJV than that of the bible in the Original Greek and Hebrew.
Erubin 21b. Whosoever disobeys the
Rabbis (Of
the Talmud) deserves death and will
be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.
Ruckmanism
Version:
Whosoever disobeys the Rabbis of the KJV deserves death and
will be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.
Rosh Hashanah 17a.
Christians (minnim) and others who reject the Talmud
will go to hell and be punished there for all generations.
Ruckmanism
Version:
Christians and others who reject the KJV will go to hell and
be punished there for all generations.
Sanhedrin 90a.
Those who read the New Testament (they call these uncanonical books) will
have no portion in the world to come.
Ruckmanism
Version:
Those who read any other translation other hand the KJV will
have no portion in the world to come.
Shabbath 116a. Jews
must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.
Ruckmanism Version:
Ruckmanites must destroy all bible translations
other than the KJV.
Hagigah 27a. States
that: No rabbi can ever go to hell.
Ruckmanism Version:
No Ruckmanite can ever go to hell. (Though he lies, cheats, steals, murders,
commits adultery to the word of God, and teaches men to follow
their doctrines and teachings above the words and teachings
of Christ as written in the original Greek Hebrew and Aramaic.)
We need to point out here that John Calvin executed, excommunicated,
and declared that those who have such beliefs would burn in
hell. – The eternal security of John Calvin and those who were
“eligible” to partake of it -- would not include these modern
Ruckmanites who are followers of John Calvin in name only.
Baba Mezia 59b. A rabbi debates God
(over the Talmud) and defeats Him. God admits the
rabbi won the debate.
Ruckmanism Version: A Ruckmanite debates God over the KJV and defeats God, and God admits
the Ruckmanite won the debate
It
is a mitzvah
[religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish
traitors, minnim, (Christians) and apikorsim,
(Apostate Jews) and to cause them to descend to the pit
of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and
sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and
His students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students.
“May the name of the wicked rot.”
Ruckmanism Version:
It is a Mitzvah (Jihad) to eradicate Christian
traitors, the unsaved or Apostate believers and to cause them
to descend to the pit of destruction. Since they cause difficulty
to the Rabbi’s of Ruckmanism and sway the people away from the
Ruckman Talmudic teachings as did Jesus of Nazareth and his
disciples did to the Scribes and Pharisees. May the name of the wicked rot in hell.
The Jewish scholar Hyam
Maccoby,
in Judaism on Trial, quotes Rabbi Yehiel ben Joseph:
"Further, without the Talmud, we would not be able to understand
passages in the Bible...God has handed this authority
to the sages and tradition is a necessity as well as scripture. The Sages also made enactments of their own...anyone
who does not study the Talmud cannot understand Scripture."
Ruckmanism Version: Without the KJV we would not be able to understand the bible. – God
handed His authority to the 50 scribes and sages of the KJV.
The traditions they created are a necessity – and anyone who
does not read and study from the KJV cannot understand Scripture.
The
Ruckmanites are speaking concerning the King James Version of
the Bible that they was a “secret” outpouring of the Holy Spirit
– an outpouring of the Holy Ghost that was so secret that neither
King James himself, not the fifty men that the King had commissioned
to work on this translation, knew anything about it or recorded
anything about it. Surely
with such inspiration, these men would have become renowned
over for the divine inspiration that “rested” upon them and
they would have built great Cathedrals throughout England and
Europe as tens of thousands would have flocked to the true light
that was upon these 50 men. -- Yet none of this occurred. Instead, what we see of this imaginary outpouring
is that no sooner had this outpouring come upon these 50 unregenerate
and unsaved men, it departed them as if they were compete reprobates
and apostates of the faith.
Actually, this
was an event that occurred in the inspired text of Scripture
– Not to the Apostles in Pentecost , or to the early church,
but to King Saul and the soldiers that he had sent three times
to arrest David that he might slay him. – and there is no way
that a Ruckmanite is going to suggest that the Spirit of God
fell upon these 50 unsaved and unregenerate and in the same
manner as King Saul, they stripped naked and prophesied day
and night (1 Samuel 19:23-25)
and the results of their speaking in tongues and prophesying
was the King James Version – with all of its “Divine” corrections
of the original Greek and Hebrew Text, that according to the
words of Christ “make of none effect” the
words of God to Moses, the Prophets, Christ and the Apostles.
First
off John Calvin – whom the Ruckmanites claim to be his disciple
did not teach from the KJV.
He taught from a combination of a French Bible written
by Robert Olivetan in 1535. John Calvin himself taught directly from
the Latin and Greek texts.
In the writing of John Calvin, he frequently quotes from
the Greek and Latin using them as his final authority.
From these texts, Calvin wrote the Geneva Bible and we
note here that the text of the Geneva Bible varies greatly from
that of the KJV. – this is significant because for all Ruckmanites,
the writings of John Calvin have greater inspiration than even
the KJV.
Matthew 23:27-36 Woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but
are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within
ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the
prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say,
If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have
been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore
ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of
them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure
of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can
ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto
you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye
shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in
your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That
upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias
son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation.
The hour is coming when the spirit
of lawlessness shall be released.
These disciples and clones of Ruckman whether they be
fundamentalists, Pentecostals, or charismatics, shall do all
that the Scribes and Pharisees and Lawyers and Priests did to
Christ, the Apostles and the early church. These shall do so in full measure of their
fathers – and they shall indeed fulfill the words of Christ
that he shall not return until the fullness of the gentiles
has been fulfilled.
Isaiah
29:13-14 Wherefore
the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their
mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the
precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to
do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work
and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men (The
sage –Levi) shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent (The scribe –Simeon) men shall be hid. (Hebrew Satar To hide to cover or to veil)
Isaiah 29:14 (Greek
Septuagint) Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people,
and I will remove them and I will destroy the wisdom of the
wise and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
Isaiah 29:14 (Hebrew Interlinear)
Behold I am adding wonders to
do with this people, the wonder even a wonder for the wisdom of
his wise ones (Heb. Hakam
Sage) shall perish (Hebrew destruction, annihilation. This is
a damning destruction that brings one down to the realm of the
dead.) and the wit of his witty ones shall be hidden (Hebrew to be hid, covered, of veiled)

Corinthians 1:19-20 For
it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, (Sage) and will bring to nothing (This hiding or veiling) the understanding of the
prudent (Scribe). Where is the wise?
where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath
not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
In verse 19 Paul tells us the word “hid
or veiled” can be better rendered
as: “to bring to nothing.”
In verse twenty, Paul identifies “understanding of the prudent”
to be better rendered as
the word “scribe.” What
Paul declares here is that Isaiah is prophesying concerning
the destruction of the Mishnah and the Talmud and that its famed
Ruckmanite sages and scribes shall all be brought to naught.
May
God help us and deliver us from all who would seek to place
us in bondage under themselves.
