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 opin-
ions and preferences, now, for over
a hundred years.

Using anecdotes from military his-


tory, Dr. Ruckman illustrates the
battle he has fought against Chris-
tian 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.

Between the New Versions
of the Bible and the New Age
Movement’s One-World Religion
This 719-page book reveals the astonishing
truth about the new Bible versions. The result
of an exhaustive six-year collation of the new
Bible versions, distinguished scholar G. A.
Riplinger examines the manuscripts, critical
editions, lexicons, and dictionaries behind the
new versions, exposing their occult origins
and contents. Also examined: new, as yet
unreleased materials used in preparing a
coming New Age Bible, to be the cornerstone
of the Antichrist’s one-world religion and

MARK COMMENTARY

The Bookstore is pleased


to offer the volume com-
pleting Dr. Ruckman’s
comments on the entire
New Testament. Based
on Dr. Ruckman’s Sun-
day school teaching, the
work covers the textual
distinctives of the Gos-
pel of Mark, with the at-
tacks of the textual and
higher critics discussed
and refuted. The doctri-
nal progress of the gospel
message from the minis-
try of Christ to its proc-
lamation in the Acts of
the Apostles is traced. Roman Catholic teachings on the
Passion Week and the Crucifixion are shown to be leg-
ends and myths. As in all the commentaries in this series,

Bible and Its
Translators
A collection of essays on
the subjects of King James,
his Bible, and its transla-
tors. These essays are not
a rephrasing or a retelling of
what can readily be found in
a standard work on English
Bible history. In fact, some of
them are designed to correct
the errors and misconcep-
tions that are unfortunately
too prevalent in the material
written about the Authorized

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 infal-
lible 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 “pref-
erence”—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.
