Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 What seems strange is when folks basically get attacked for asking questions! :? Does that seem right on a Christian forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 No it doesn't. Seems downright wrong and perhaps the attackers are being convicted of something and thats the only way they know to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 For whatever reason, I've noticed some IFB folk are quick to attack, rather than being quick to try and edify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's part of the reason many people view Baptists as negative, stern or "mean-spirited". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yep, and having people in the Ruckman camp sure doesn't help. They seem to live to be rude and insulting and how they attempt to justify it makes me wanna :barfy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 No doubt! I never heard of Ruckman until last year but it seems his name is cropping up more and more now. Recently I read something about KJV-only folks and they were basically attacked on the basis of Ruckman! Ugh! :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 Who is Ruckman? I have heard that name used like a curse word - heard some one call someone else a "Ruckmanite" on another board. I did not know that KJV - only was such a "hot topic" among Baptists! Were I grew up ALL OF US believed in KJV Only as the Word of God ... I thought all of those other versions was one of those "city people" sort of things. All I kkow was when I moved to the city, the people talk different, act different, dress different and worship different than what I am accustomed to. I actually got banned from a so-called Christian mb because I said I believed in just the KJV only Bible and that all other Bibles are phoney counterfiets. Then I had a bunch of ladies jump all over me because I said their Bibles were counterfiet! Hoo-boy what a ruckus I started! They should not get mad at me because they were duped into buying counterfiet Bibles! They should be mad at the printing and distributing companies! I did not force anyone to plunk down their hard earned money for anything, that is their own fault, not mine. Do you think Satan is having a good old time watching all of the people fighting and arguing over The Bible rather than using it as the soul-winning tool that God intended it to be?

Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ruckman has been married, divorced, and remarried several times. He curses and says it's okay. He believes the KJV itself is inspired and more accurate than the texts it was translated from. That's all I can think of off hand, I'm not that familiar with him. Isn't he based in Florida? I had a Christian friend who I used to practice Scripture verses with as we would walk the track. He used the NIV. After he would quote a verse from the NIV I would say, "And now I'll quote that verse from the REAL Bible." :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] And so everyone who believes in the KJV is being lumped into this category? What a crock! I believed in KJV waaaaaaaaaaaay before this guy came along. It sounds like for all the errors and mistakes he has made in his life he at least managed to get SOMETHING right. Too bad he has damaged his testamony.

Members John81 Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's a shame, but people look to those with "extreme" positions and then try and lump others in with them if they even remotely agree on something. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
