Box 7135, Pensacola, Florida 32534 September, 2013 Back to the Bible or Back to the Jungle By Dr. Peter S. Ruckman This is one of those articles that is not for the “faint of heart” or the squeamish when it comes to accepting what the Bible says over what the news media demands you believe. So be forewarned: if you are moved by “every wind of doctrine” (see Eph. 4:14) put out by CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NPR, Time magazine, Newsweek, the Gannett string of daily newspapers, the NEA, the ACLU, Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic Congress, put this article down before you work yourself into a “hissey.” A short time after I was wild animals; wild animals are found in the jungle. A basic premise of Darwin’s religion is called “survival of the fittest”: it is me first and you next. The law of the jungle is the law of “tooth and claw”; i.e., “progress” is made by killing one another. That’s how the “fittest” get into the best position for “survival.” That’s how all mankind developed according to evolution. As I studied further, I realized the pit of evolution was much deeper than I thought. Every dictator in the Twentieth Century was an evolutionist. I finally wrote a book on the Continued on 5 saved, I picked up this little saying from another Christian: “Back to the Bible or back to the jungle.” I was interested in it because when I got saved, one of the things on which I got straight was the insanity of evolution. It occurred to me that everything I had studied about evolution was simply the law of the jungle. Darwin taught that we all came from there is anything with which you should not put up, it is hard-to-understand, archaic reporting like the Fox News Network and the morning newspaper. Turn to Genesis in cannot get. a King James Bible, and after When Jacob finally made reading chapter 28 through his break after twenty years 35, you will have information of being under “Laban the that O’Reilly and his friends Continued on 3 By Robert Militello “For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, THE PEOPLE SHALL DWELL ALONE, AND SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS” (Num. 23:9). Balaam, who was hired by Balak king of the Moabites to curse the Jews, has words put into his mouth by the Holy Spirit that effectively doom the United Nations of our present day. “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: HE SHALL EAT UP THE NATIONS HIS ENEMIES, AND SHALL BREAK THEIR BONES, AND PIERCE THEM THROUGH WITH HIS ARROWS” (Num. 24:8). Israel is the Lord’s snare to catch the Gentile nations and put them into servitude to the Jews. Why will the Lord do this? “Because he loved thy fathers” (Deut. 4:37). “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy The Mizpah Between Syria and Israel By Brian Donovan The recent “news” about the Israeli bombing in Damascus and civil war in Syria is not news. If you really want news about Syria and Israel, go back to an archaic book written over 3,500 years ago called Genesis. Then compare it with an ignored prophet who spoke over 2,600 years ago named Isaiah. Then turn to another sage called “the weeping prophet” who saw 2,500 years out into the future from where he stood. Then you will start learning something and getting the real scoop. Whatever you do, do not waste time with tomorrow’s newspaper where you will not only be reading slanted and biased lies, but it will be archaic and antiquated and outdated information. If Throw Out the Jews God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth” (Deut. 7:6). Do you think a Gentile likes to hear that? Is anything in the Old Testament more clear than that the Lord is coming back to destroy the UN? There are warnings innumerable that the Lord intends to settle His controversy with the nations over a certain piece of land He gave to the sons of Jacob. Continued on 6 Page 2 B.B.B. September, 2013 STUDENT’S CORNER The Five Wills of God (Part 2 of 2) We have been discussing the five different wills of God for every individual, especially the born-again child of God. They are: the directive will of God, the permissive will of God, and the good, acceptable, and perfect wills of God as listed in Romans 12:2. Last time, we discussed the directive will of God. Here, we will start with the three wills of God for the believer in Christ and transition into the permissive will of God. At the Judgment Seat of Christ, there are three wills that show up for the Christian. The first is the good will of God. That is the will of God you followed where you tried to live a clean life and obey the Ten Commandments, but you didn’t do exactly what the Lord wanted you to do or called you to do. You say, “What’s wrong with that?” What’s wrong with that is that you are unprofitable to the Lord. There is a great verse in Luke on this: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: WE HAVE DONE THAT WHICH WAS OUR DUTY TO DO” (Luke 17:10). When all you do is the bare minimum to get by, you haven’t brought any profit to the Lord; those were the things you were supposed to do anyway. Over in Luke 19:12–27 is what is known as the Parable of the Pounds. A nobleman went into a far country to get a kingdom, and he left his ten servants each with a pound to trade and make more money. When he came back, he brought his servants before him to give account to their master for what they had made with their pounds in trading. The first servant made ten pounds; he was rewarded with ten cities in the new kingdom. The second servant only made five pounds, yet he was still rewarded with five cities in the new kingdom because he had made a profit for his master. But when the third servant was brought forward, all he had was the original pound his master had left him. He was too resentful even to put the money in the bank and let it draw interest. Now there is no sign that he was a lazy servant; he performed all of his normal duties. But because he made no profit for his master, his pound was taken from him and given to the first servant who made ten pounds, and the third servant received no reward. Now how does a child of God become profitable to his Lord? By bearing fruit. Jesus told His disciples to bear “fruit,” “more fruit,” and “much fruit” (John 15:2, 8). When it comes to fruitbearing, some Christians bear a hundred-fold (“much fruit”), some bear sixty-fold (“more fruit”), and some only bear thirty-fold (“fruit”) (Mark 4:20), but the goal is not to be a fruitless, barren Christian. You need to go beyond the “good” will of God and bear as much fruit for your Lord as possible. That’s the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5; it’s winning souls to Jesus Christ; it’s praising God in difficult circumstances; it’s giving cheerfully and sacrificially. The next will for the Christian is the acceptable will of God. That means you’ve made an effort to become profitable to the Lord and bear fruit. You have done some things God will accept at the Judgment Seat of Christ. You will get rewards for those things that are acceptable but not for some of the rest of the stuff He didn’t accept. Finally, there’s the perfect will of God. That’s where you did what God wanted you to do, the way He wanted it done, at the time you were told to do it, with the right attitude while doing it. That’s for what you are rewarded at the Judgment Seat of Christ, and if you can meet all those requirements, you get what the Bible calls “a full reward” (2 John 8). The Devil is clever in this matter of getting the Christian to miss the perfect will of God. He can get you to do the right thing in the wrong way. He can get you to do the right thing in the right way, but with the wrong attitude. In the case of the Lord Jesus, when Satan tempted Him, the Devil tried to get the Lord to do the right thing at the wrong time. Everything Satan tempted Christ to do—turn stones to bread, come down out of the air, take over the kingdoms of the world—was actually something the Scriptures commanded Him to do. It was just the wrong time: those were things Christ will do at the Second Advent. That’s why Jesus turned them all down; He will do all of those things on the Father’s schedule. I’ll never forget, right after I got saved, hearing two young men sing the song “Sweet Will of God.” That first verse goes: “My stubborn will at last hath yielded; I would be Thine, and Thine alone. And this the prayer my lips are bringing, Lord, let in me Thy will be done.” When it comes to the perfect will of God in the Christian life, one of the greatest battles you will ever face is to be will- Dr. Peter S. Ruckman President, Founder, and Teacher of the Pensacola Bible Institute, Pensacola, Florida. —————————— ing to do some things if the Lord wants them done. I faced that several times in my Christian life. Sometimes it was the Lord trying to break my will to make it compliant to His (“Would you be willing to do this if I asked you to do it?”). If you think that’s easy, just try it sometime. Think of the last thing you would ever want to do if the Lord asked you to do it, and then get down on your knees and pray until you can honestly say you would be willing to do it if that’s what God wanted. Now the Lord may not want you to do it, but if He did, are you willing? Another time with me it was being willing to do something the Lord did want me to do that I didn’t want to do. I wanted to be an evangelist and see grown men saved. The Lord, though, wanted me to be a Bible teacher, and I despised teachers. Through nearly twenty years in the classroom as a student, I can think of only two teachers for whom I had any respect, and one of them was an instructor in the military. I had to be willing to give up the “acceptable” will to do the “perfect” will of God. When you come to a point like that, sometimes you just have to pray, “Lord, MAKE me willing.” You may want to Continued on 4 September, 2013 B.B.B. Page 3 The Mizpah Between Syria and Israel Continued from 1 Syrian,” the two of them set up a witness between them called “MIZPAH,” or “a watch” (Gen. 31:46–49). This heap of stones was not a cute wall plaque for the Lord to watch between Christian friends apart from each other, but a marker between Israel and the Syrians, who could be trusted as far as Jacob could throw the whole heap. When Laban caught up with Jacob, he pretended he only wanted to send him off “with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp” (Gen. 31:27), but Jacob knew that if it were not for the Lord giving Laban a good nightmare about what would happen if he touched Jacob, he was a dead man (Gen. 31:42). Today, regardless of what he must say in public about a fictitious “peace process,” Prime Minister Netanyahu knows that Israel can trust Damascus as much as an American can trust Obama. Syria and Lebanon house terrorist groups bent on annihilating Israel; and except the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob should protect them on a daily basis as promised in the Scriptures and as seen in the story in Genesis 31, the Jews would have been wiped out by Mohammed’s killers long before this. The Hezbollah leader Nasrallah has referred to Israel as a “racist and illegal entity” and a “state of the grandsons of apes and pigs.” A few years ago, Nasrallah gave a speech (from his hiding place, because he is as willing to die for Allah as much as Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden were) where he promised: “The Lebanese people are capable of defeating this entity (Israel) and can make it disappear . . . . Therefore, Hezbollah will not recognize Israel; not today, not tomorrow, not even in a thousand years.” That is quite an interesting choice of words when you consider what the Lord has said about Lebanon’s fate for the next one thousand years. Speaking to Israel through the prophet Isaiah (chap. 60:13–14), the Lord says that Lebanon will bend to Jerusalem and bow to the feet of Israel for Christ’s millennial reign. According to the prophet Jeremiah, all Nasrallah has to do to get Israel’s land is stop the sun from rising, count the stars, and measure the sand of the sea (Jer. 33:14–22); and the land is his. President Assad of Syria has much more to be concerned about than trying to break through Israel’s “Dome” defense system. Damascus will soon be “confounded,” “fainthearted,” and “waxed feeble” (Jer. 49:23–24), as well as “a ruinous heap” (Isa. 17:1). At least “Laban the Syrian” had the sense to run home with his tail between his legs when the Lord gave him his warning. We are very near the end of the Gentiles changing Jacob’s “wages ten times” (Gen. 31:41) throughout the years of their dealings with each other. Beginning with: 1) Titus in A.D. 70, killing up to 500 Jews a day, 2) Hadrian in A.D. 135, reneging on a promise to allow them to rebuild their temple and instead began selling and slaughtering them, forbidding sabbath and synagogue meetings, circumcision, and Torah study, 3) Canute in 1020 banishing all Jews from England, 4) Rome’s “Holy Crusades” beginning in 1096 with the wholesale massacre of all Jews who refused “Christian” Continued on 5 The “Errors” in the King James Bible With this work, Dr. Ruckman answers every major attack on the words of the King James text as you have it, and shows that no man, living or dead, has ever proved one error in the text. Formerly titled Problem Texts, this book gives you complete, irrefutable, and Biblical answers to the “corrections” or alterations of the King James Bible by Hebrew and Greek-speaking apostates.

September, 2013 The Five Wills of God Continued from 2 be willing and still not be. You might have to go as far as you can and get the Lord’s help to bring you the rest of the way. Last of all, there is the permissive will of God. This is the “will” with which everyone has a problem. It includes every kind of horror story in the world: all the ones blown up at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, cripples, handicapped children, cancer, early death, car crashes, etc. God allows all those things. Come on, folks, could God stop those kinds of things? Sure He could; He’s omnipotent (all-powerful). Does He? No; not most of the time. God allows those things to take place and doesn’t stop them. That’s the kind of thing that makes atheists; they don’t like a God who would let such horrible things take place. God allows men to go to Hell. It’s not His will (2 Pet. 3:9), but He still lets it happen. He lets men go to Hell and burn by the hundreds of millions every year and doesn’t stop it. That Bible says that God ordains “the powers that be” (Rom. 13:1). Well, do you think God approves of bloody killers like Hitler, Stalin, Arafat, the Caesars, or the Popes? Of course not! The problem is, sinful men mistake power for rights. The law of the jungle is “survival of the fittest”: me first, you next; dog eat dog; “might makes right.” No, it doesn’t. You can have the power to do something that you have no right doing at all. Conversely, you can have a right to do a thing with no power to be able to do it. When Jesus was before Pontius Pilate, Pilate told Christ, “You had better speak to me. I have power to crucify you or let you go” (John 19:10). Jesus answered him, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above” (John 19:11). God allowed Jesus to be turned over to Pilate to be crucified; and poor, old, pliable Pontius Pilate thought he was in charge. God let Krakatoa blow up over in the East Indies and kill hundreds of thousands. God let those tsunamis tear through Japan and India. God let Ivan come through Pensacola; He let Katrina go through New Orleans; He let Sandy go through New Jersey and New York. He’s the one who allowed six million Jews to die in the gas chambers and ovens in Germany. He’s the One who allows plagues like AIDS and the flu to sweep through countries, killing hundreds. Modern man thinks God couldn’t have a hand in any of those things because “God is love” (1 John 1:8), but they aren’t thinking. If God saw those things and had the power to stop them, and could have stopped them and didn’t, then He’s ultimately responsible for them. That’s the permissive will of God. The directive will of God is: “Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal,” etc. (Exod. 20:13–17); but men murder, commit adultery, and steal all the time. Well, that’s the permissive will of God. What were good Christians like Haralan Popov and Richard Wurmbrand doing in a Communist prison in the 20% Off prime of their lives? Couldn’t God have gotten them out? Sure He could; He got Paul and Silas out in Acts 16. But that’s God’s permissive will. God will allow His children to suffer terribly. If you don’t believe it, read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. God didn’t stop the torture and murder of thousands of His children, But that doesn’t mean that was His directive will. He allowed it to happen. You say, “Why?” You’ll find out when you see Him. I mean, Heaven is the place for understanding, and earth is the place for trust, brother. Sometimes God allows such things to humble the child of God. Sometimes He allows them to happen to make Heaven real to His children. Sometimes He lets bad things happen to a Christian to make him sympathetic with others who go through trouble. And sometimes He allows bad things to prove His promises Continued on 10 These 3 Items Only During September JULY SERMONS Dr. Peter S.

Page 5 Back to the Bible or Back to the Jungle Continued from 1 subject entitled The Christian’s Handbook of Science and Philosophy in which I went into these matters in some detail; I quoted what the warlords, the economic barons, and the international bankers thought of evolution and how they applied it. Now what you need to realize about why people accept evolution is very simple. It has nothing to do with “science” because evolution defies three basic, demonstrable laws of science known to man: the First Law of Thermodynamics (matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed), the Second Law of Thermodynamics (things get worse; they don’t get better), and the Law of Biogenesis (life begets life; there is no “spontaneous generation”). Evolution is simply man siding with the animals so he will be free of any moral responsibility to his Creator. You see, animals are amoral: they have no morals. A Christian over in England “crossed swords” once with one of these idolaters who worshipped Darwin. The Christian observed: “This teaching (evolution) is nothing but a cleverly cooked-up alibi to make us more independent of our Creator than we already are.” Precisely. Some reporter asked Julian Huxley one time why scientists accepted Darwin’s theory of evolution so readily. Huxley replied, “I suppose we jumped at the Origin (i.e., Darwin’s Origin of Species) because the idea of God interfered with our sexual morés.” That is, the scientists who accepted evolution had the morals of an alley cat. Animals have no “rights” or “wrongs.” The goal of the NEA in America since the days of FDR has been to raise your children as animals so that they come out with no morals. Each “animal” is to esteem himself so highly that he is the final arbiter of “values” for himself. If along the way he does something “wrong,” he doesn’t have to worry about being hurt for it because corporal punishment is out. You train the kiddies to be wild animals where “might is right.” (Murphy’s Law: “Those who live by the sword will perish by those who have guns.”) That is the entire content of an American education from kindergarten to post-graduate work when dealing with society. All animals have three goals and three goals only: self-preservation (me first, you next), self-propagation (Huxley’s “sexual morés”), and self-gratification (reasonable comfort and pleasure). There are no Ten Commandments, no Golden Rule, and no Bible. Continued on 8 The Mizpah Between Syria and Israel Continued from 3 baptism, 5) France in 1306 deporting 100,000 Jews and stealing their property, 6) Spain’s Inquisition of 1492, with Ferdinand and Isabella using Torquemada to torture, burn, and banish all Jews from Spain, 7) Russian pogroms killing tens of thousands between 1881–1884, then again between 1918–1920 after the Bolshevik Revolution, 8) Germany’s holocaust of WWII, killing six million of Jacob’s sons, 9) the 1948 attack by five Arab nations on the fledgling state of Israel, till finally 10) the Tribulation horror when the Syrian returns as the Antichrist to fulfill “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), when a conservative number of over 24 million Jews will be slaughtered. It is then that the Lord Himself will step in and force the Gentile nations to bow and recognize not only the Jewish nation, but their Jewish King, the Lord Jesus Christ. At that time, and only then, will there no longer be a need for the “Mizpah.” The Jews will no longer need a wall to keep suicide bombers out. Laban’s Syrian sons will bow and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and come peaceably to her with gifts. England will no longer refuse to send her old queen to Jerusalem. After sixty years on her throne, officially visiting over 130 countries (that includes at least fourteen Arab countries), old Lizzy II has not once made an official trip to Israel. London will officially recognize Jacob’s King in that day, and the English rulers will lick the dust off Jacob’s feet (Isa. 49:23). The Syrian will bow as Damascus is brought to “a ruinous heap,” and Hezbollah’s rhetoric will change to psalms of praise to Jacob’s King. Count on it with your soul. The 1611 AV has not missed a single call. Are you ready for that day? This book describes the WAR OF REBELLION against the scholars who have ditched the King James Bible and who have held the Body of Christ in bondage to their opinions and preferences, now, for over a hundred years. Us i n g anecdotes from military history, Dr. Ruckman illustrates the battle he has fought against Christian scholarship for nearly 54 years. The purpose of this book is to get the Christian soldier to think and act in a disciplined manner so he can “WAR a good WARFARE” in the battle for the truth. 187 Pages ORDER RK-134 $ 12 (Plus postage—see page 8) 95 Page 6 B.B.B. September, 2013 Throw Out the Jews Continued from 1 This issue will not be resolved in a probate court where last wills are contested. No, this controversy will be settled on the battlefield where so much of the history of the Old Testament took place. The very institution that the victorious allies of World War II set up to end wars on earth will be the cause of the most awful battle in all of human history (see Rev. 9:13–21). Before Armageddon, the greatest land battles ever fought were between the German and Russian armies (1941–45). Both those armies combined would be barely a tenth of the two hundred million-man army that will take the field against the Lord and His army. Few Jews are now left on this earth that still believe the land grant given to their fathers will be honored. Jews have had to die in three major wars with their Arab neighbors just to hold onto their tiny parcel of land given them by the UN in 1947 when Palestine was partitioned. Sadly, the land that the Jews conquered from the Egyptians, Syrians, and Jordanians had to be given back because of U.S. pressure. Thank God Israel held onto east Jerusalem and the so-called “West Bank” of the Jordan. Still, the pressure is mounting each year for Israel to accept a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital. Every move made by the nations to steal from the Jews the land God gave them is under a magnifying glass in the Lord’s hand. “A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the EYES OF THE LORD THY GOD ARE ALWAYS UPON IT, FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE YEAR” (Deut. 11:12). On November 5, 1949, the UN General Assembly voted to receive the new state of Israel into its membership. Those nations that welcomed Israel into their exclusive club had no idea that they had started a clock that would count down the years to their own destruction. Israel, which had been running away from God since the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., had gotten into the Gentile boat, the UN, and like Jonah, does not know that it soon must be pitched overboard to be fed to the Antichrist. All this is hidden to them. The Jews are spiritually asleep. Israel has no business taking a seat at a table where other members plot day and night to create another Arab state filled with murderers and terrorists who believe the Jews are monkeys and pigs, and that Allah’s will is to destroy them all. Last November, 184 out of 193 nations voted to allow the Palestine Liberation Organization to sit in the UN General Assembly meetings. Eventually, the UN will help create an independent state of Palestine. Hebron, the place where the fathers are buried whom the Lord loved, will most likely be in the state of Palestine. David’s kingdom began there. Will all of this lead Israel to abandon the UN? No. The Lord will have to get involved, and He will. “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4). When it comes to spiritual things, Israel’s leaders are just like Jonah sleeping in the storm. There is a heavy reliance upon the military to save the nation from disaster. If you know your Bible, you know where this leads. Someone is keeping watch at the UN, in the Vatican, in the meeting rooms of the U.S. State Department, and in the hovels of every Jew-hating Moslem in the world. “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psa. 121:4). Since 1948, the UN Security Council has adopted almost one hundred resolutions directly critical of Israel for so-called violations of the UN Charter, Security Council Resolutions, the Geneva Convention, and other violations of international law. U.S. taxpayers fund a Jew-hating club of international deadbeats meeting on Manhattan’s east side on land donated by the Rockefeller family for the cause of world peace. That place is a monument to the stupidity of the U.S. State Department and a betrayal of our nation’s father, George Washington, who warned against foreign entanglements. There was a time when Americans had better sense.

Page 7 Virtual Equality By Tom Waddle No doubt the main “thrust” of “this present evil world” (Gal. 1:4) is “unity.” There is a continual 24-hour push to make everything the same. Make women men, black white, children adults, Catholics Protestants, and queers normal. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isa. 5:20). The only way this can be done is to convince people that there are no differences; i.e., rob the individual of his ability to discriminate. “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us” (Psa. 2:2–3). In order for them to get everyone together, they have got to kick the Bible OUT—“break their bands asunder.” The first definition of discrimination according to Webster is: “The act of distinguishing; the act of making or observing a difference; distinction; as the discrimination between right and wrong. “And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean” (Ezek. 44:23). I think one of the best books Dr. Ruckman ever wrote was Discrimination: The Key to Sanity. If someone really wanted to make an effort to “make this world a better place to live,” I think distributing a couple of cases of those books and three cases of Bibles to every college campus in America would be a great idea. The only cure for America is the TRUTH. In that book, Dr. Ruckman says, “A man who cannot spot the differences between men, women, adults, children, Occidentals, Orientals, blacks, whites, plumbers, bankers, carpenters, brokers, commercial fishermen, miners, Germans, and Hawaiians, is ready for the nuthouse (Eccl. 9:3), and that is where he should be. The ability to discriminate is a God-given ability which only the sane possess. If you cannot tell the difference between a one dollar bill and a one hundred dollar bill, you are in trouble—bad trouble.” It is higher education that is responsible for this deluge of mindless numbskulls trying to convince us that “all men are created equal.” Saying that “all men are created equal” is just as absurd as saying, “we are all the children of God,” “gays are normal people,” “Santa Claus is coming to town.” You get the entire media saying, “All men are created equal” and “gays are normal and should be allowed to marry” year after year, and before you know it, it’s popular to believe it as the truth. Then anyone who opposes those things is labeled as a “white supremacist,” a “hatemonger,” or a “Bible-thumping homophobe” whose speech must be outlawed. The truth has become their enemy. “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34), as far as salvation is concerned, because “ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). You need salvation; and it is offered to you as a “free gift” (Rom. 5:15–18), whether you are black, white, male, female, “gay,” or normal. We become “one in Christ” spiritually when we are born again (Gal. 3:26–28). This does not mean that our physical differences cease to exist. If you think blacks are the same as whites, women are the same as men, children should be treated as adults, and a queer is just a “lifestyle” that is normal, then my friend you are in “virtual-equality” la-la land. Your “equality” doesn’t exist. It’s just in your head.

September, 2013 Back to the Bible or Back to the Jungle Continued from 5 My, though, what a change you have when you get into the Bible! You haven’t gone nine chapters before you run into a man named Ham: Ham had a sex problem. When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor, he realized “what his younger son had DONE UNTO HIM” (Gen. 9:24). Ham committed a sin against his father connected with his father’s nakedness just like you read in Leviticus 18 (which see). Ham’s sin was a sexual sin which became named after his descendants in Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 10:19–20). Noah cursed Ham’s youngest son (Canaan—Gen. 9:25)—even though it was his daddy who committed the sin—because Ham’s sin had to do with his seed (the seed included all Ham’s descendants just like Abraham’s seed included all his descendants— Gen. 13:6, 15:5). Ham’s sin was sodomy, so his descendants are destroyed for that sin (Gen. 19). Ham’s “seed” winds up in two places: the land of Canaan and Africa (Africa is called “the land of Ham” in Psa. 105:23, 27; 106:22). It is Egypt in northern Africa where the Jews ended up as slaves under Pharaoh. Pharaoh was an All rights reserved.

When God called Israel out of Africa, He sent them to the land of Canaan: Canaan was the son of Ham God cursed. Do you know what the orders were for the Israelites concerning those Canaanites? It was genocide (Deut. 7:1–2). Do you ever read your Bible? Do you know why God commanded genocide against those people? Well, among other things, they, like the Egyptians (Lev. 18:3), were guilty of gross sexual sins (Ham has a sex problem): incest (Lev. 18:7–15), adultery (Lev. 18:20), bestiality (Lev. 18:23), and SODOMY (Lev. 18:22)—everything Obama is pushing with “LBGT” (Lesbians, Bisexuals, Gays, and Transgenders). God said those sins defiled the land and made it vomit out its inhabitants (Lev. 18:24–25); that’s why He wanted those people destroyed. Ham’s sin was considered so bad that New Testament salvation didn’t change God’s opinion of it a bit. God said that anyone who practiced Continued on 13 (850) ORDERING INFORMATION PHONE ORDERING Ordering and Questions (850) 477-8812 Toll-Free – Orders Only (800) 659-1478 24 Hour FAX Line (850) 477-3795 Open Daily, Mon.–Fri. 8:15 A.M.–4:15 P.M.

Page 9 Throw Out the Jews Continued from 6 tions to make sure the tragedy of WWI was not repeated. President Woodrow Wilson, an amillennial Presbyterian theology student, felt the time was right to end all wars and bring in the kingdom. On July 8, 1919, President Wilson returned from the Paris Peace Conference and embarked on a vigorous campaign to persuade Americans and the U.S. Senate to join the League of Nations. In October of that year, he received the Nobel Peace Prize. He prayed for peace like the Pope. Before TV came along and radio took hold, Americans in 1919 still read their Bibles. President Wilson campaigned so strenuously for the U.S. to join the League, he got a stroke and spent the remainder of his presidency disabled. He could not convince America that the League was a good idea. Bible-reading Americans wrote their senators and asked them to vote down the League. By 1945, the influence of the Bible on our lawmakers in Congress had begun to wane. President Truman was able to sell the UN as a good idea and the world’s “last best hope for peace.” When you stop reading your Bible, you become a political jackass, along with a lot of other mental deficiencies. Israel, with a population that had become increasingly agnostic and atheistic after seeing six million perish without the God of Jacob doing a thing to prevent it, also thought the UN was a good idea. So Prime Minister David Ben Gurion ignored the orthodox community, pretended Numbers 23:9 was not relevant to the modern state of Israel, and asked the Gentile nations to allow Israel to join their club. “Great men are not always wise” (Job 32:9). This desire to be like all the other nations has been a stink in God’s nostrils since Israel left Egypt. “Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you” (Deut. 9:24). Samuel had to deal with it. “Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us LIKE ALL THE NATIONS” (1 Sam. 8:4–5). Some twelve centuries later, this wickedness, this despising of their unique standing before God, culminates in a call to remain part of Caesar’s gang. “But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify YOUR KING? The chief priests answered, WE HAVE NO KING BUT CAESAR” (John 19:15). Well, on November 5, 1949, modern Israel signed up with Caesar again. When the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) took a seat last year in the UN General Assembly, it sat alongside the Holy See, which also has observer status at the UN, although it is not a state in the conventional sense of the word. The Vatican and the PLO are no friends of Israel, but there, they are like Pilate and Herod smiling at the Jews and saying, “Peace, peace, Continued on 12 The Lord God Almighty vs. THe Moon God On this MP3, Dr. Ruckman exposes what the Moslem religion is and from where it came.

You may find out the reason down here, and then again you may not. But God allowed it for a purpose. Do you know what God’s will is for the rule of this earth? It’s His Son (1 Tim. 6:15; Zech. 14:9; Rev. 11:15). But right now, Satan has been given “the power of death” (Heb. 2:14) and the power over “the kingdoms of this world” (Luke 4:5–6) as “the god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4). Now all of these things are “tough nuts to crack” for a Bible-rejecting intellectual. He can’t handle them because he’s stupid. When the intellectual rejected what God said in His Book, the Lord purposefully made the fellow stupid. That Bible says, “the world by wisdom knew not God” (1 Cor. 1:21). It says, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Rom. 1:22). God said of those people, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent” (1 Cor. 1:19). In fact, Jesus Handbook of Manuscript Evidence Presents arguments for the King James text that have never been refuted, including evidence that the phony “Septuagint” never existed before A.D.100.

If you want to talk yourself completely out of the will of God altogether, there is no better way to do it than to be a dishonest skeptic who fancies himself an “intellectual.” God will allow you (His permissive will) to bypass His directive will for you to be saved (2 Pet. 3:9), and He will send you the deception you ask for (Ezek. 14:1–11) until you “think” yourself right into the Lake of Fire. If you want to know God’s will for your life, I will tell you how to do it. 1. Surrender YOUR will. Lay yourself at God’s disposal and be prepared to accept and do whatever He shows you. 2. Get into “the scripture of truth” (Dan. 10:21) and let the Holy Spirit of God “guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). 3. Pray for guidance. 4.

Page 11 V ir tu a l Eq uality Continued from 7 why the need for ANY special help or special rights for ANYONE? If there is any need for “special” help, that means they are NOT THE SAME. Bible believers are for equal opportunity for all, with the preference for the hardest working, most talented, and the best qualified. If you want our government, military, education, and businesses to be the best in the world, then you’d better trash your “social advancement,” “affirmative action,” and “special rights” for ANYONE. Virtual equality: we are all the same—if you are crazy. All people have the right to life and the right to exist and preserve their cultural integrity, yes, but there should be NO special rights to murderers, rapists, rioters, and violent criminals based on their race, gender, or “sexual preference.” One must never forget that God is a separatist. He wants the Christian to come out of the world (2 Cor. 6:17). He has separated Hell from Heaven, the saved from the lost, right from wrong, good from evil, and light from darkness (Acts 26:18). When men tried “solidarity” in Genesis 11, the Lord busted them up; it was certainly not an act of “Mother Nature.” In Genesis, it was the Lord who “divided the light from the darkness” (Gen. 1:4). Everything is NOT relative. There are absolutes, and your “preference” doesn’t mean anything. To say that all the new “Bibles” are the same means nothing; you are not living in “reality.” “Change” means not making things the same;who are you trying to kid? As they say, “don’t pour water down my back and then tell me it’s raining” (that’s the revised phrase!). You make a literal change in what God said and then try to convince me you really didn’t make a change—you are crazy. They are the same ONLY IN YOUR MIND—virtual equality. To say that the New King James Version is the same as the King James Bible only means that you have seared your conscience and can no longer think straight. You have lost your ability to discriminate. Your effort to be politically correct and get along with the world has cost you your saneness. The trouble is that our society is deceptive. With all of these “virtual reality” games, it looks real when it’s really not. This generation has quit thinking. They can make plastic now that looks like real wood. Some wigs or hair pieces look like real hair. They can now put permanent false teeth where your real ones used to be, and they look real! Do you want a chicken sandwich? Well, it might be a chicken sandwich, and it might not be. The Devil is a great counterfeiter. He was not an angel as some teach, but is “transformed into an angel of light,” and you would “swear” that his ministers were God-called preachers (2 Cor. 11:13–15). The Devil has ministers, angels, apostles, a church, spirits, music, a gospel, another Jesus, and “Bibles” that are NOT THE SAME as God’s; and you’d better know the difference. The truth is, Catholics are NOT Protestants, Moslems Here is a Book, the Holy Bible, written by forty male authors, writing from three continents, through a period of more than 1,800 years, and it displays a mathematical miracle, DEALING WITH HISTORICAL EVENTS, that no computer could display with the ability to record 50,000,000 pieces of information per second. What particular quirk of perverted logic would lead any “modern man” to overlook such a Book?

September, 2013 Throw Out the Jews Continued from 9 peace.” Already, the new Pope, Francis, is getting rave reviews in the Jewish press. The Vatican’s charm campaign is in full swing, and this Jesuit from Argentina is one very sly fox. Last May, a Catholic book publisher put out On Heaven and Earth, written by Pope Francis in conjunction with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist from Buenos Aires. The book has both these Bible blockheads waxing eloquent on a host of subjects. What a farce. Watch out, Israel! That man in Rome calling himself the “Holy Father” will help the “poor” Palestinians get their state, and you’ll have a lot more security issues with which to deal than you have now with Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and the Muslim Brotherhood. These days, Caesar dresses up in a religious costume and pretends he loves Jews. Israel has extended a formal invitation to “His Holiness” to visit this year. That’s like asking Dracula to check out a blood bank—it’s insanity! Some 2,640 years ago, the Holy Spirit used the prophet Zephaniah to write the UN’s obituary notice. “Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for MY DETERMINATION IS TO GATHER THE NATIONS, THAT I MAY ASSEMBLE THE KINGDOMS, TO POUR UPON THEM MINE INDIGNATION, EVEN ALL MY FIERCE ANGER: FOR ALL THE EARTH SHALL BE DEVOURED WITH THE FIRE OF MY JEALOUSY” (Zeph. 3:8). Israel is a member of an organization that will soon drink from the cup of the Lord’s wrath. Do they know it? Jews wrote the Bible, not Gentiles; they ought to know it. The so- called statesmen of the world believed Hitler’s promise when he signed the Munich Pact in 1938 promising no war in Europe. Educated people would rather believe the word of a depraved tyrant than a book with God’s signature all over it. Men believe liars because they are liars themselves. That “Tower of Babel” in Manhattan is a meeting place for polished liars speaking in a confusion of tongues, but united in their desire to bring in a “kingdom of peace” without the Jewish Messiah. When the first Tower of Babel was built, there were no Jews. Anti-semitism was unknown. The Lord had not yet called out a people to be a holy nation to bring light to a dark Gentile world. Now there is a modern state of Israel, a refuge for the “wandering Jew” to return to. Today with gay pride parades in Tel Aviv and Bro. Donovan’s Schedule September 13–15 New Heights Bapt.

Jerusalem has become like “Sodom and Egypt” (Rev. 11:8). Israel has more in common with the Gentile nations than it does with its Creator. In the UN, the Jews have a seat with those who love “darkness rather than light” (John 3:19). The book written by their holy prophets mocks the very assembly in which they now sit. This month, the UN General Assembly will open its 68th session. In the city where George Washington was sworn in as our first president, our government has paid for 68 years worth of international hot air to be dumped on the already polluted streets of Manhattan.

Page 13 Back to the Bible or Back to the Jungle Continued from 8 that perversion was “worthy of death” (Rom. 1:26–32). Don’t believe me; look up the passage and READ IT! It wasn’t like shrimp or pork (Lev. 11) that was cleansed by God after the death of His Son as a picture of salvation going to unclean Gentiles (Acts 10 cf. Eph. 2:11–13). It was a moral abomination that God classified with fornication, adultery, idolatry, covetousness, drunkenness, extortion, blasphemy, and MURDER (1 Cor. 6:9–10 cf. Gal. 5:19–21). Obama and the faggots don’t know about what they’re talking. Now that is what God has against “the land of Ham.” Early in my Bible studies, I used to wonder why God didn’t want Abraham in Egypt (Gen. 13), why Jacob didn’t want to be buried in Egypt (Gen. 47:29–31), why Joseph didn’t want his body to remain in Egypt (Gen. 50:24–25), why God called Israel out of Egypt (Exod. 3:8), why God didn’t want His people going back down to Egypt (Deut. 17:16), and why He called His own Son out of Egypt (Matt. 2:15). God is so much against Egypt that He won’t bless any “Bible” that comes from there (Jer. 44:26). Do you know from where the corrupt manuscripts come which are the basis for apostate versions like the Septuagint, the Vulgate, the Jesuit Rheims Version of 1582, and all modern English translations (RV, ASV, RSV, NASV, NIV, ESV, etc.)? They were from Alexandria, Egypt in Africa. God is against that place because Ham has a sex problem. Do you know what you find over there in Cairo, Egypt, next to those pyramids? You find the Sphinx. That thing is a hermaphrodite: it is half man and half woman. It’s a double sodomite containing both sexes: unisex. And on top of that, it is part animal (you know what I mean, jelly bean, Lev. 18:23?). Ham has a sex problem. Now that is what Obama and the Democrats in the Senate and the Congress are trying to force on the American people right now. It’s a throwback to a culture so backwards that with three million years to “progress” (all evolutionists say that the oldest “person” ever discovered on this earth with any likeness to a human being was a black woman from Kenya, Africa: Leakey’s “Lucy”), Europe went by it as if it were standing still. Evidently, there was something wrong with “Lucy’s” background! With the largest coastline of any continent on earth, “Lucy” couldn’t produce any navy without Shem’s help (Phoenicia). With the greatest pile of lumber, timber, and rainforests in the world, she had no lumber industry. With more gold and diamonds than in Russia, China, and America combined, she’s been bankrupt for 2,000 years and had to live off Europe the whole time.

How come black Africans had to leave Africa to get the money? You know something, if you didn’t know any better (“political correctness”), you’d almost make a “stereotype” out of Africa. Why, you might even call it “The Dark Continent.” One thing is for certain, though: whether you are afraid to make a “profile” or “stereotype” because you live in a country that censors free speech, there is no rush of blacks here in America, whose ancestors were brought over here in slave ships by the white man, to go back from where their people came. What? No desire for the “homeland” after talking about “black pride” and “black history month” and “the first black” to do this or that? (Question: what took you so long? You had over a million-year head start on the white folks.) Why no desire to “return to your roots”? What makes you think the white man’s place is better to live than the land from where you came? To repeat our title: “Back to the Bible or back to the jungle.” It’s an African jungle where no descendant of Ham in his “homeland” ever got ahold of a Bible till Japheth brought it to him or him to it (brought to America at a time when the King James Bible was THE textbook for all the schools in all the States). Since JFK (1961–1963), America has officially thrown the Bible out of every Federal (formerly “public”) school entrusted with raising the children of Christian families by refusing to let it be read or quoted in the schools.

THE CREED OF THE ALEXANDRIAN CULT 1. There is no final authority but God. 2. Since God is a Spirit, there is no final authority that can be seen, heard, read, felt, or handled. 3. Since all books are material, there is no book on this earth that is the final and absolute authority on what is right and what is wrong, what constitutes truth and what constitutes error. 4. There WAS a series of writings one time which, IF they had all been put into a BOOK as soon as they were written the first time, WOULD HAVE constituted an infallible and final authority by which to judge truth and error. 5. However, this series of writings was lost, and the God who inspired them was unable to preserve their content through Bible-believing Christians at Antioch (Syria), where the first Bible teachers were (Acts 13:1), and where the first missionary trip originated (Acts 13:1-52), and where the word “Christian” originated (Acts 11:26). 6. So God chose to ALMOST preserve them through Gnostics and philosophers from Alexandria, Egypt, even though God called His Son OUT of Egypt (Matthew 2), Jacob OUT of Egypt (Genesis 49), Israel OUT of Egypt (Exodus 15), and Joseph’s bones OUT of Egypt (Exodus 13). 7. So there are two streams of Bibles. The most accurate—though, of course, there is no final, absolute authority for determining truth and error; it is a matter of “preference”—are the Egyptian translations from Alexandria, Egypt, which are “almost the originals,” although not quite. 8. The most inaccurate translations were those that brought about the German Reformation (Luther, Zwingli, Boehler, Zinzendorf, Spener, et al.) and the worldwide missionary movement of the English-speaking people: the Bible that Sunday, Torrey, Moody, Finney, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Wesley, and Chapman used. 9. But we can “tolerate” these if those who believe in them will “tolerate” US. After all, since there is NO ABSOLUTE AND FINAL AUTHORITY that anyone can read, teach, preach, or handle, the whole thing is a matter of “PREFERENCE.” You may prefer what you prefer, and we will prefer what we prefer. Let us live in peace, and if we cannot agree on anything or everything, let us all agree on one thing: THERE IS NO FINAL, ABSOLUTE, WRITTEN AUTHORITY OF GOD ANYWHERE ON THIS EARTH. This is the Creed of the Alexandrian Cult. BER—88 Weep not for broad lands lost; Weep not for fair hopes crost. Weep not when limbs wax old; Weep not when frends grow cold; Weep not that Death must part Thine and the best loved heart; Yet weep, weep all thou can— Weep, weep, because thou art A sin-defilèd man.

The problems in the public schools went from talking in class, chewing gum, and running in the hallways to rapes, assaults, drugs, promiscuity, abortions, venereal diseases, and MURDER. Although no teacher could read or quote a Bible to a student, he or she could teach the child (as low as kindergarten in some cases) about condom use, “safe sex,” how to practice sodomy, and bestiality. The last blow was delivered by an African from Kenya (where Leakey found “Lucy”). It was a law passed to arrest and fine anyone who taught or preached what the Bible said about blacks, women, and queers (Hate Crimes Act); and the all-out push by the Federal government (all three branches) to legalize Ham’s original sin (sodomy). You are, at last, back to the original “homeland” of the human race, according to the Association for the Advancement of Science and National Geographic Magazine.
