He gave no reference or anything, so I was very skeptical (I know Ruckman teaches that a baby becomes a living soul when it takes his first breathe, I disagree, but I don't think that promotes abortion...).

I found only one place online that even claims this (no references again) and it's that stupid petersruckman.com site, which is just page after page of accusations with no evidence of witnesses.

Is anyone familiar with this accusation?

Aloha all,

I have copied 139 pages of "comments" made by the brethren on this Forum in regards to this subject - covered in the following Threads:

Peter Ruckman Stance on Abortion > {Atlas}
More Ruckman on Abortion > {Atlas}
When Does a Person Become a Living Soul? - {Dr.Bible}
Hall of Shame - {Luke}
Breath of Life - {George}
A Question About Ruckman - {Luke}

There may be more, but I am unaware of any. I did not have a chance to respond to many of the comments made by many of the brethren, since I have been too busy (and too tired) to address their points of view (some of which are excellent, and others - well enough said ).

I am going to carefully review all 139 pages of "comments" and answer those that were sincere and appropriate, at least to my own satisfaction. I may not Post them, since this issue is such a "hot button" issue, but many of the brethren {Luke, Brandon, Brother Tim, Forrest, Vendetta Ride, Cody1611, People of the Way, Biblestudent, JMWahlen, to mention a few} who appear to be on the other side of the issue from myself have brought up some excellent points, which I will sincerely take into consideration in my search for the truth in this matter.

Thanks to you all. A sincerely held conviction is something we should not be ashamed of, nor should we be fearful to voice it just because some (or most) of the brethren may believe differently.

God bless!
