Probably instant banning. They'd consider you a troll or something, I'm sure.

I've hosted the file in question on one of my sites; the segment comes from the Genesis institute class at PBI. This particular recording was likely captured years ago, as they have recently (relatively) transferred all of the old cassette tapes to MP3s. The first link is to the relative section, and the second link is to the whole file from which the segment is pulled (covering Genesis 1:27-2:22).

Let me finish by saying, that without a doubt, these limpwrist armchair critics of Peter Ruckman are in error.

Brother, I wouldn't say that the style of his preaching is what makes people crazy, it's the context: they can't handle the truth.

A preacher can blast me with Scripture: if I deserve it, I feel guilty and repent, and if not, it doesn't bother me a bit! Those that get so upset over Brother Ruckman, or any 'fiery' preacher, have a 'heart' problem.

When people get all bent out of shape over how Brother Ruckman calls it like it is, I remember how upset the Pharisees were over how Jesus preached..."Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites", "...ye blind guides..", "...ye fools...", "...Ye serpents...", "...ye generation of vipers..." (Matthew 23)

Jesus didn't mince words, either.

For some people, it isn't a "heart" issue (as in "their sin is being preached on and they can't handle it"), but they just can't handle some of the things he says. Like they can't tolerate the words he uses to refer to Bible correctors (the a-word, etc.), or his "lack of Christian love", or some of the things he believes like Rightly Dividing or the KJV being inspired, or the fact that he's been divorced and remarried a couple times. Some of these people are my friends, so I give them the benefit of the doubt.

But what about us, when we get mad (or more specifically, me), at men like Paul Washer, with their fiery message.

[KJBPrincess]

What are you referring to, Luke?

I mean, I know about Paul Washer and why you don't like him. (and I completely understand... Lordship Salvation is heresy) I'm just not quite sure what you meant by that post.

[Luke]

Well, he preaches a fiery gospel that other people think is truth, and we get mad at him, because it's a false gospel. But maybe I am just getting mad at him because he is convicting me.

I have only posted here a couple of times but I have enjoyed reading the various threads for several months now. Everyone here adds an interesting perspective to the discussions and I have learned much from your posts. Please be assured that I am 100% KJV only. I do not even allow any of the modern versions in my home. I have no ulterior motive, I am simply sharing my opinion and asking a question.

I realize that I am taking my life in my hands saying this but I am going to post this anyway. I promise you that my intention is not to upset or antagonize anyone. Please forgive me if I do.

I am just amazed at the support and defense of Peter Ruckman amongst you folks. At first I honestly thought you were joking! I have never met Ruckman but I have read much of what he has written and I have listened to his sermons and teaching. He is so silly, bombastic and caustic in much of what he says and writes that I have always thought he must be a nut. I am not kidding. He often rants like a lunatic and he sometimes borders on being outright vulgar. Are you aware of his multiple marriages & divorces? Are you aware of his attempts to justify his multiple marriages & divorces?

Much of what he says is correct. He's obviously an intelligent man but some of what he says is just plain stange and makes me wonder about his mental state. I have read things that he has written in response to rational (though often horribly misguided re: Bible translations) people that sound like the rantings of a ill mannered two year old. Do you really believe that someone who behaves themself like Peter Ruckman and shows such an obviously flippant attitude toward the marriage covenant (between himself and God) is the best person to use as a source for any argument, particularly in the defense of God's Word? I do not understand.

I have always believed that Peter Ruckman and Gail Riplinger have done so much more harm than good to the arguments in defense of the KJV. They have always seemed to me like the drunk uncle at the family Thanksgiving dinner that will not allow you to ignore them.

Could someone please explain to me what it is that prompts such a loyalty among so many of you guys to Peter Ruckman?

This is incredible! LOL! I couldn't resist the temptation to join Online Baptist, so I went over there a few minutes ago and registered. In the "New Members" section, there was a thread titled, "Welcome Vendetta Ride," and it said - - - are you ready for this? - - -

Welcome to Online Baptist, before you start to dazzle us with your footwork, please remember the rules that you agreed to when you joined.

9.C We will not allow the following: Members that come just to argue doctrine instead of fellowship.

(See post #101 in this thread.) Apparently, they're keeping an eye on this place!

Busted before I wrote my first post! Well, back to Pravda.....
