Hi Bro
I have well over 50 commentaries of all kinds that I have bought over the years, and i have never ever came across any that can match up to those written by Dr. Ruckman. The good Doctor has always made a point to anyone seeking the truth to always use the Book as your final Authority no matter what he says or anyone says pertaining to interpreting the Bible.
I came out of the Roman Catholic Church at age 32 and I’m now 66, and since that time I have made it a point early on to let God’s Holy word be my Final Authority because how I was so brain washed by the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope being their final authority that the only way anyone could ever know the truth is place all your bets on the Authorized King James Bible and read it.
After I was saved in April of 1977, I spent 2 ½ yrs in a Benedictine Monastery in Subiaco Arkansas, working for Marriot , Director of Food Services and was privy to their private library in which I took full advantage of. I spent many an afternoon in that Library taking all kinds of notes from the books they had covering just about anything pertaining to how and what they believed and critical information pertaining to historical information as to why. I befriended a priest their, and theologian who taught Hebrew and Greek to the students there. He had written books on how to learn Hebrew and Greek and he gave me those books. We had some very interesting conversations and he was not in line with what Rome taught on such issues as Mary having children, Purgatory, praying to the dead and a few more.
The reason why I bring all this up is because God placed me there soon after I was saved because I was praying for truth and wanted to find out all I could about the Roman Catholic Church right from the horse’s mouth so to speak and I did. Soon after that my job took me to Pensacola Florida where I spent the next 18 years and most of that was spent under the ministry of Dr. Ruckman and the Bible Baptist Church. So I got a real good grounding in God’s Word from a Church and a man who would lay his very life down for God’s Holy precious words. From that time forward I guess you could call me a Ruckmanite and a staunch believer that the AV1611 is the only English Bible God has preserved for His English Speaking Church today. So when the good Doc. Came out with his own Bible with his own notes added to it, I jumped on it.
I thank God for all those who take a stand for the preservation of God Holy Bible,(AV1611) and aren’t ashamed to do so in the Pulpit, and in their lives.
May God Bless them all… Amen and Amen
