Another Pack of Bible-Rejecting Infidels
January 2008 Bible Believers’ Bulletin
One would think that after coming through twenty centuries of Bible-rejecting infidels—which would include all Moslems, Buddhists, Taoists, Shintoists, Atheists, Agnostics, Christian Scientists, Animists, etc.—that the infidels would have “given up.” They haven’t. All orthodox Jews still reject the New Testament, and all Roman Catholics reject 500 verses in the Old Testament that deal with the Second Coming (plus 100 more in the New Testament).
But the latest up-to-date “roll call” now has to include the faculties and staffs of 110 Christian colleges, universities, seminaries, and Bible institutes in America that have suddenly decided that more than 150 verses in the New Testament—including all Greek New Testaments (Westcott, Hort, Aland, Erasmus, Stephanus, Metzger, Beza, Tischendorf, Griesbach, etc.) and all English New Testaments (Berkeley, RV, Montgomery, ASV, Moffat, Weymouth, RSV, Goodspeed, NASV, Knox, NRSV, NKJV, NET, CEV, and the NIV)—were not inspired, not even in the “original autographs!”
Now who couldn’t have read that “in the stars”?
Since A.D. 2000, the apostate Fundamentalists and Conservatives, in their desperate haste to disassociate with anything connected with “Ruckman,” have decided that they will say: “We believe the King James Bible is the Word of God, but we are not Ruckmanites! We do not believe nor teach ‘double inspiration’!”
Why, you poor, blind, deceived, stumbling blockheads, didn’t you know that more than 150 verses in the New Testament (in Greek, English, German, Latin, Mandarin, or Tagalog) were translations of a different language in their “originals”?
Furthermore, after BOTH of these languages were “given by inspiration of God,” they didn’t match each other when translated!
You didn’t know THAT? Are you “serious”? Are you the educated jackasses who keep talking about Christians “taking their Bible studies seriously?” C’mon, girlies, you wouldn’t kid an old “junkyard dog,” would you?
What blank, freshman fool didn’t know that there are more than 150 quotations from the Hebrew Old Testament that pop up as a translation (the Greek New Testament) in every copy of the New Testament ever printed? The first time they were “inspired” was in the Hebrew language, and the next time (“double!”) they were inspired again in the New Testament “original autographs!” They were inspired in a different language, and many times the translations did NOT match “the original Hebrew” or the “original Old Testament manuscript” or “the Hebrew text.”
Which one of the two did you say you didn’t believe in? The first one (Hebrew Old Testament) or the second (“double!”) one (the Greek New Testament)?
Why, you simpering asses, you had to reject one of them, or you had to believe in “double inspiration.” The original Hebrew was inspired, and the Greek translation was inspired too. Right? Wrong? (You mean you can’t read, don’t you?)
Now look at this. If you ever think that Ruckman just “alleges” anything or “conjectures” anything or “suggests” anything or “supposes” anything, look at this mammoth pile of Scriptural evidence from “the holy scriptures”—this time in Greek—that a translation can be inspired and not match word-for-word any original from which it came. These verses in their “original autographs” were all translations of a different language:
Matthew 4:6, 15, 5:21, 27, 38, 43, 9:13, 12:7, 18–21, 13:35, 18:16, 19:4–5, 21:5, 13, 16, 42, 24:15, 27:46.
Now listen carefully, stupid (I am addressing any educated infidel who doesn’t believe in “double inspiration”) those verses are all secondary inspirations from just one book in the New Testament, and I did not list all that were in Matthew. For example, I left out Matthew 15:4, 8; 19:18; 22:24, 32, 37, 39, 44; 27:9, etc.
God the Holy Ghost took time out to inspire 158 verses in the New Testament after He had just inspired them in the Old Testament. Fifty-one of the New Testament Greek translations are from the Hebrew Pentateuch, forty-six from the Poetical books (the Kethubim), and sixty-one from the Prophets (Nabhim). Among single books, the Psalms furnish forty, and Isaiah furnishes thirty-eight.
Your modern “unbeliever” (i.e., “infidel”) has publicly declared that 158 verses in the New Testament could not have been given by inspiration even in their “original autographs.” That shows you the extremes to which a modern apostate Fundamentalist will go in order to avoid “Ruckmanism.” He will deny 158 verses in all Greek New Testament manuscripts.
You talk about radical “nuttiness”! That “takes the cake”!
If you claim those 158 verses WERE inspired, you have taken Ruckman’s position on “double inspiration”: once in the Old Testament Hebrew “originals” and twice with the appearance of the Greek “originals.” That is Scriptural evidence from “the holy scriptures” themselves that if you think God couldn’t give the Body of Christ an infallible, inerrant translation of the “originals,” you are nothing but a wild jackass braying in the bushes.
- For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
- Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
- Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
You not only don’t “have a leg to stand on,” you don’t have a BRAIN to think with. So now, “we” have graduated to a Fundamentalist infidel: a nonbeliever.
Welcome to the Scholars’ Union! The “Club”! Its other “members” are Thomas Paine, Socrates, Crowley, Colonel Ingersoll, Marx, Einstein, Marcion, Mark Twain, Voltaire, Darwin, George B. Shaw, Huxley, Hawking, Paley, Plato, Aristotle, Descarte, Spinoza, William James, and Bertrand Russell.
None of them believed in the Holy Bible either.
None of them even believed in “single inspiration.”
Your position is a perfect halfway house (50%) between a Christian and an infidel.
Let us know if you decide to go hot or cold, or just stay “lukewarm”.
- ¶ And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
- I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
- So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
