[Psalm 51:17]

Here's more-

Some of Ruckman’s long-overlooked “biblical truths” include the following:(1) Angels are thirty-three year old males without wings; and all women in theChurch Age will receive thirty-three year old male bodies at the Rapture.

(2) The plan of salvation for Tribulation saints is faith plus works and the plan of salvation in the Millennium is works alone.

(3) When the believer is born again, his soul is literally cut loose from the inside of his fleshly body. (Ruckman takes spiritual circumcision very literally!)

(4) Demons are winged creatures ranging in size from those of flies and mosquitoesto eagles and vultures.

(5) Sexual unions constitute marriage in God’s sight.

(6) The soul is an invisible bodily shape. “The problem is the word ‘soul,’ but sincethere isn’t one pre-millennial, soul-winning, fundamentalist who knows what a soulis (see the entire library of books published by Eerdmans, Baker, Zondervan, andthe Sword of the Lord before 1970) … The soul in the Bible is an invisible BODILYSHAPE. In the Old Testament, the soul is almost synonymous with the body, for it isSTUCK TO IT till death” (Ruckman, Problem Texts, p. 145).

(7) The flood mentioned in 2 Peter 3 is not Noah’s flood but is one that supposedlyoccurred at the judgment of the earth, when Satan was cast out of Heaven. He admits that no other Bible teacher has held this view: “Now who could get amessage so simple all muddled up? Answer: Every major fundamental Bible scholarand teacher in the United States, without one exception. If you were to ask HenryMorris what the verses refer to he’d say Noah’s flood: ditto Harry Rimmer,Clarence Larkin, J. Vernon McGee, Swindle (sic), MacArthur, Bob Jones III … theScofield Board of Editors” (Ruckman, The Unknown Bible, p. 67).

( “God has ordained on this earth 12 boundaries, with 12 nations, who aredestined to leave this earth (transported by angels– Luke 16:22), and populate outerspace infinitely and forever, beginning with the 12 constellations that are seen on theearth once every 12 months” (The Unknown Bible, p. 588).
