Confusion - A Biblical Critique of the New Teachings of Dr. Peter Ruckman

By Richard King from http://www.gigattbooks.com/adult/confusion

Confusion- God is not the author of confusion, but the false teachings of false teachers has resulted in much confusion today. This book, Confusion, is a helpful reference guide for any Christian who desires a scriptural basis for answering questions about abortion, racism, the gap theory, salvation by works, eternal security, fallen angels, double inspiration, numerous plans of salvation, aliens and UFO’s, etc.

Confusion is also a biblical critique of the “new teachings” that were supposedly revealed solely to Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. Dr. Ruckman claims to have discovered over 500 new advanced revelations that no one else has ever been able to find in the Scriptures since the year 90 A.D. He also claims to be the only one who can correctly interpret these revelations. Dr. Ruckman further claims that God began teaching him these things from the moment of his own conception in the womb. A few of these new teachings are listed as follows —

1. “Notice the destruction of the unborn is not murder, in spite of all the pro-lifers” (see pp. 5-6).

2. “Again, we find a radical change in the ‘plan of salvation’ . . . the predominant element is WORKS” (see p. 35).

3. “These are Old Testament saints whose righteousness is part of their salvation” (see p. 46).

4. “The ‘plan of salvation’ under the Law is that if you quit living right and live wrong, you ‘die in your sins’” (see p. 45).

5. “Some dispensations manifest salvation by works without faith” (see p. 20).

6. “There are SIX ‘plans of salvation’ in the book of Acts” (see p. 55).

7. “Your only chance of being saved AFTER the Rapture is either to starve to death . . . or to get your HEAD CUT OFF” (see p. 68).

8. “ . . . there will be flesh-and-blood people on the earth during eternity, and they would die unless they partook of the ‘tree of life,’ which is how they get their eternal life — not by believing on Jesus Christ!” (see p. 71)

9. Adam and Eve had a water circulatory system and no blood. Satan appeared as a 33 year old man in the Garden of Eden who sexually seduced Eve and was the father of Cain (see pp. 182-190).

10. Jesus was born on September 23rd and He will return on September 23rd (see p. 210).

11. A black person’s IQ is ALWAYS lower than a white person’s (see p. 123).

12. All women in the Church Age (from New Testament times until the Rapture) will be sex-changed into 33 year old men for all of eternity (see pp. 98, 179-180).

13. Angels are 33 year old men who are wingless and over five feet tall and able to cohabit with women and reproduce (see pp. 174, 177, 179, 213).

ConfusionIn this book you will find plain and simple scriptural answers which refute a salvation by works in any dispensation. You will find plain and simple answers to complicated and confusing false teachings which are spreading throughout fundamentalism today. You will find that “rightly dividing the word of truth” is not chopping Scripture up into pieces and pulling these pieces out of context to “support” a new, advanced revelation. In the context of Second Timothy 2, verses14-18 and 23-26, the word of truth is to be rightly divided from the false teachings of false teachers. Scripture is truth. But the advanced revelations of one man that were unheard of before his time just might not be all truth.

This book will help the honest reader to see the clear and plain teachings of Scripture as compared to the new advanced revelations which were discovered and interpreted exclusively by Dr. Ruckman.

We also offer a helpful companion book, Byble, to go along with Chapter One in the Confusion book. This chapter on abortion includes the flawed reasonings of Dr. Ruckman as to why abortion is NOT murder. Byble clearly reveals from Scripture, medical science, biology, and embryology why abortion IS murder. If you purchase the Confusion book, please consider purchasing Byble also. It's an amazing story that exposes the lies and deception and heartache surrounding abortion.

Dear Pastor,

I found this on the way to anti-gaptist things and thought it appropriate to pass it on. (While I believe the Bible that says God made everything in 6 days, Peter is a very literate spoksman for the gaptist, and their alternate position.) This book is very thorough, with some good endorsements. If you would spend the $30 to buy it and send it to me, I would take it. Now don't be mad, just be honest.

From: Pastor Mike Stout

I had tracts, that i threw out in our church ,written by Ruckman which had a diffrent plan of salvattion based on works during the trib...way to take a stand.. i have lost two families over my anti Ruckman stand! Keep on! Mike

Thank You for your voice of reason among many that don't think for themselves and rightly divide the word of truth! I appreciate your boldness.

Bro. Paul Bannister

I concede that Dr. Ruckman's teaching on abortion is off-base. However, while he does not believe it is murder, he also does not believe is RIGHT. He does not advocate HAVING abortions. He does not counsel people to seek abortions. He is against abortion - just doesn't believe it is murder. I don't agree with him...I think it is.

The rest of these charges are so much malicious trash.

Never forget this.....NOBODY in the modern era was preaching the KJV as the perfect, infallible, preserved words of God until AFTER Dr. Ruckman had been preaching it for over10 years. Dr. Ruckman started writing on the subject back in the 1960's. Dr. John R. Rice promoted the NASV. Curtis Hutson promoted the NKJV. Dr. Jack Hyles didn't "come around" until the 1990's - and that was "under the influence" of a student of Dr. Ruckman - Jack Patterson.

We would not have a "KJV movement" if it had not been for the work of Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. You can criticize him all you want - but God has used him in a mighty way for the defence of the KJV, the salvation of countless souls, and the sending of missionaries and preachers all over the globe.

It never pays to criticize the man of God - no matter how much you might disagree with him! He answers to GOD - not you... so my advise is for you to DROP you criticisms and find a better use for your time.

Pastor Steve,

Thank you for your response. I agree wholeheartedly. If we could get Peter to stop his criticisms it would be great. I am not critical of Dr. Ruckman. It was brother King who wrote the book, and he is not critical as much as truthful. I am a little tired of being called a Ruckmanite because I use the KJV, and I absolutely HATE his gaptist teachings, (where my current research on creationism is taking me) but I don't waste my time criticizing. Just truth exposing. Its our job.

Pastor Ed Rice

Dear Pastor Rice:

Thank you for your clarification.

I am all for exposing the truth.

I love Dr. Ruckman DESPITE his quirks and short-comings. Nobody is right on everything, but his defence and love for the KJV changed my spiritual love for Jesus Christ for the better, and many others will attest to the same thing. We are all "broken tools" - we all have our sins, our hang-ups, and our short-comings.

Thank you for your time, and for your explanation.

In Christ,

Pastor Steve Schwenke

Bro. Rice,

Bro. King called and offered me the book, I, like you, would take it if someone sent it to me, but I would not pay what he is asking! I kept telling him I know all about Peter, but he kept going on and said how surprised I would be to find out the things that I already know. Well, far as the gapist, my 6 year old is one of them, two front teeth missing, other than that, their truth is missing (the gaptist that is).

IT IS A SHAME THAT A MAN WILL NOT RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE KJV. BIBLE AS HE IS COMMANDED. DR. RUCKMAN COULD BE A BLESSING TO MANY ( AS HE HAS BEEN TO ME) SO CALLED SCHOLARS IF THEY WOULD GET OVER THIER PRIDE AND ACCEPT WHAT GOD SAID AND BELIEVE IT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT IS JUST IGNORANCE OF WHAT THE LORD SAYS IN HIS HOLY BIBLE (KJV) OR THEY JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY IT HAS CONTRADICTIONS SO THEY CAN BE THE FINAL ATHOURITY INSTEAD OF THE LORD. EITHER WAY IT IS THIER LOSS AND PROBLEM AT THE JUDGEMENT SEAT. THANK GOD FOR HIS PERFECT BOOK (KJV) THEY (SCHOLARS AND GREAT THINKERS) OF THIER TIME GAVE SCHOFIELD AND LARKIN A HARD TIME ALSO. HISTORY SHOWS MEN NEVER LEARN FROM THIER MISTAKES IT STARTED AGAINST THE PAULICIANS AND HAS NOT STOPPED YET.

Brother Rice withhold thirty dollars of MY support and buy it for your self. The penny pulpit has been that valuable to me. God bless

God Bless you Brother.

I actually don't spend good money to buy books filled with stuff I already know. Thus my quandry.

Keep On For HIM

Pastor Rice

Dear Pastor Rice,

I am not sure what the "anti-gaptist" position is, but I can save you $30.

David Cloud wrote an e-book on Peter Ruckman -- which I think is from his original hard copy book. I think Cloud's book on Jack Hyles is very good too. Thank you for the email. At least for me, I receive two copies of your Penny Pulpits each week.

Pastor Scott Griese

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.(Jude 1:21-23)

(NOTE FROM RICE – I found both of these books via the wayof life.org site search function and HIGHLY recommend them both, … I also loved the price. Thank you Brother Cloud.)

Pastor,

It is deeply regrettable that one who is associated with Independent Baptists has strayed so far from the truth. My heart is grieved.

I do not believe his heresy deserves the time and effort of men of integrity to refute these outrageous teachings.

The things Ruckman now proposes are cult-like and so far outside the mainstream of orthodoxy that only his most ardent followers will retain confidence in him.

His most loyal followers will not be convinced of his error because their confidence is in Ruckman and not the Word of God.

Honest students of the Scripture will reject his teachings for conscience’s sake because what he says can’t be reconciled with the plain teaching of the Bible.

Blessings,

Steve Pettey

Bro. Rice,

Hope you well in the Lord!

Was this sent out to many pastors or did you personally write this to me?

Lord bless, bro. vince giardino

Brother Vince,

Many many, very interesting responses, seems to be polarizing character.
