How Bob Jones University Betrays the Holy Bible!
By David J. Stewart | April 2018 | Updated December 2020
Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is
very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.”
Although I don't agree with some of his theological positions, Dr. Peter S. Ruckman (1921-2016)
did every Christian a big favor, by opening our eyes to the
evils of the Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort Bible versions. Read for yourself my friend what Dr.
Ruckman has to say about, and what has become of, one of the most dangerous
institutions in American history—BOB JONES UNIVERSITY. Learn about the incredible
damage they have done to the cause of Jesus Christ...
“King James Onlyism” was a cliche
(like “Ruckmanism”) invented by the faculty and staff of the school where I
got my M.A. and Ph.D.: Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C. After placing
a hidden placard on the pulpit of their chapel platform saying, “Use only the
King James Version from this pulpit,” and declaring at “The World Congress of
Fundamentalism” (1990) that the only English version used there would have to
be the King James Version, this desperate bunch of professional deceivers
decided that “King James Onlyism” was a deadly heresy that came from a “cult.”
Bob Jones Jr. and Bob Jones III (1960-1980) thought it cute to add an “ism” on
both the expressions above to scare Bible-believing Christians out of their
faith in the Book. Then they would be accused of “following a man” and be
identified with a “cult.” Very few Christians stopped to THINK for a moment
about the innovative expression, for the only substitute for “King James
Onlyism” for an American would be “SCHOLARSHIP ONLYISM.” I mean, a Christian
is supposed to have some final authority by which he makes decisions and
settles issues. If it was NOT the King James Bible, what would it be? Few
American Christians stopped to think about this crucial question; and it was
absolutely crucial, for it dealt with FINAL AUTHORITY which, from the dawn of
recorded history (Gen. 3), has been THE ISSUE with mankind.
To cover up their
devilment and their true designs, the apostates offered the Bible-believer a
substitute for his Book. They offered him a pile of lost scattered pieces of
paper (“original autographs”) written in a dead language that he could not
understand unless he attended ($$$) a school like theirs ($$$). Thus
“SCHOLARSHIP ONLYISM” became his substitute for the Holy Bible—the Authorized
Version of the English Protestant Reformation. This threw the hat of final
authority into the ring for “grabs,” because scholars vary from demoniac
atheists and unsaved agnostics to Roman Catholic monks and Conservative
“Evangelicals.” Final authority was reduced, by Bob Jones University, to
opinions and preferences, with the arbitrator of conflicting opinions and
preferences being the opinions and preferences of the scholars who conflicted
with each other. Anarchy, Relativism, pragmatic humanism. (If you want some
“isms,” there they are.)
This booklet shows you how the cult of “SCHOLARSHIP
ONLYISM” operates (and has operated for one hundred years) in order to destroy
the Holy Bible as the final authority in YOUR life. In this book, all of the
conservative scholars assume the seat of final authority, and all sit in
judgment on the BOOK. This Alexandrian Cult is composed of “gods” (Gen. 3) who
partook of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” so they freely
question what God said (Gen. 3:1), subtract from what He said (Gen. 3:2), and
add to what He said (Gen. 3:3). Their final authority is their own opinion.
This shows the FRUITS and RESULTS of this type of “Funnymentalism.” At the end
of the book, “Scholarship Onlyism” is applied in a real situation, and you see
it in actual operation as carried out by a saved “Fundamentalist.” Its fruits
are one hundred percent error, while professing to have the ability to find
error in ALL translations and ALL Greek texts.

James Onlyism Verses Scholarship Onlyism.”
I HIGHLY encourage you, dear web
reader, to read the
entire 68-page book by Dr. Ruckman (.PDF format), and prepare to be
angered at what Satan has done to infiltrate, corrupt and destroy America's
churches through a bunch of self-styled, reprobate, cowardly, arrogant,
mammon-loving, deeper-life, college professors and dried-up dead theologians,
aka, the Bob Jones University, Dallas Theological Seminary, Faith Baptist
Bible College And Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, and HUNDREDS of
other theological preacher's cemeteries!
I SAID CEMETERIES!!! These institutions have betrayed the inspired Word of God.
“God has
a special rebuke, again and again and again in the Bible,
toward those people who keep their neutrality in the work of God!”
—SOURCE: Pastor Jack
Hyles (1926-2001), a quote from the needful and precious MP3 sermon titled: “Where
Were You In The Battle?”
And I'm going to say it, I am leery
of any preacher who denies the inspiration of the King James Bible. I cannot
change how I feel and what I believe. I mean, there's just something very
wrong with a preacher who thinks that God only inspired the original
autographs, which NO LONGER EXIST! So if only the originals were given by
inspiration, then we do not have a perfect Holy Bible today! I am not talking
about The Book that someone thinks could have been translated better, I
am talking about God's Word!
THE REAL BATTLE
(MP3 by Dr. Jack Hyles: “Bob Jones... they make light on the verbal
inspiration!”)
Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is
very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” Let me ask you an
important question: “Would David have still loved God's Word with such passion
had it been impure?”; not on your life! David loved God's words because they
weren't just pure, they were VERY PURE!!!!!!! Folks, either we still have
God's very pure words today in 2018, that He Promised to preserve unto
every generation in Psalms 12:6-7 (if you have a reliable King James
Bible), or we don't!!! Psalms12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
What does “them” refer to? Why, to the “pure words” in verse 6.
Now take a look at how the modern
scholarship-produced perversions (100% sanctioned by Bob Jones University) all
change God's promise in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His “very pure” words
unto every generation. Here's a comparison of Psalms 12:6-7. Look how
all of these new satanic Bible revisions totally butcher, change and remove
God's PROMISE to preserve His Words. Instead of preserving God's “very
pure” words, all the new versions change it to say that God preserves the
saints instead...
King James Bible (KJB)
Psalms12:6-7, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
The Common English Bible (CEB)
Psalms 12:6-7, "The LORD's promises are pure, like silver that's been
refined in an oven, purified seven times over! You, LORD, will keep us,
protecting us from this generation forever."
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Psalms 12:6-7, "The words of ADONAI are pure words, silver in a melting-pot
set in the earth, refined and purified seven times over. You, ADONAI, protect
us; guard us forever from this generation."
The Message Bible (MSG)
Psalm 12:6-7, "God's words are pure words, Pure silver words refined seven
times In the fires of his word-kiln, Pure on earth as well as in heaven.
God, keep us safe from their lies, From the wicked who stalk us with
lies."
Good News Translation (GNT)
Psalm 12:6-7, "The wicked are everywhere, and everyone praises what is evil.
Keep us always safe, O Lord, and preserve us from such people."
...AND ON THEY GO, THE
NEW VERSIONS JUST KEEP COMING TO CORRUPT THE CHURCHES!!!

Doesn't anyone have a problem with what I just showed you? I agree with Dr.
Gail Riplinger that the men behind the modern corrupt Bibles are sincere,
truly believing that they are doing something good; but Satan in very subtle
and clever and is the driving force of darkness behind the entire Bible
revision movement. You can hear Dr. Riplinger (I love this dear lady) talk
about these things, and much more:

“That book [King James
Bible], sir, is the rock on which on republic rests.” —U.S. President Andrew
Jackson (1767-1845)
Where is Hyles-Anderson College?
I
know exactly how Peter Ruckman felt, because my own Bible college from which I
earned my Bachelor's degree (HYLES-ANDERSON COLLEGE, 1985-1993) in Crownpoint,
Indiana, has bailed-out of the battle for the inspiration of God's Word. By
openly denying the inspiration of the King James Bible in 2008 (and since),
one foolish man destroyed the lifetime work of Dr. Jack Hyles at the First
Baptist Church of Hammond (FBCH), Indiana. Ecclesiastes 9:18, “Wisdom is
better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much
good.” First Baptist Church of Hammond (who owns Hyles-Anderson
College) are AWOL from the battle. I'm sick of standing alone, but I WILL
continue to do so by God's grace for as long as I can! I thank God for the few
HAC graduates who do stand—I praise God for BOTH of you! Where are the 7,000?
“It's Time To Come Out Of The Closet” (Dr.
Jack Hyles; The Bible's
under attack—where's the 7,000?).
Where Were You During The Battle?
(MP3, Dr. Jack Hyles; The sin of neutrality in the Work of God!)
FBCH made
a wonderful tribute
online to honor Brother Hyles, but if FBCH really wants to honor Dr. Hyles,
then why don't they uphold the truths that he so fervently fought to uphold?
Folks, was Dr. Hyles a fool? Why is FBCH totally abandoning THE TRUTH that Dr.
Hyles preached? There is a deafening silence heard from FBCH and HAC! Satanic
Bible versions are flooding into the churches!!! What were those truths that
Dr. Hyles thought were so important, which HE HIMSELF in 1994 called...
“THE BATTLE OF THE AGES”
(MP3 sermon by, Dr. Jack Hyles: “The King James Bible crowd is going to come out on top!”)
What a bunch of lying deceivers at Bob Jones
University!!! Dr. Ruckman had their number long before I did! I am so sick and
tired of these neo-evangelical, dead, lukewarm, lifeless, fuddy-duddy churches
today, like the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam! Did I mention that they forced
me out and banned me from returning! Yes, it is true! Do you know why? It is
because I AM RIGHT AND THEY ARE WRONG ON THE HOLY BIBLE. They are all shameful
Bob Jones graduates! The truth hurts,
don't it! I mean, I couldn't put it any simpler. This is what happens when
light meets darkness, when a real Hyles-Anderson College graduate (back when
HAC graduates still believed what Dr. Hyles actually taught) meets the
neo-evangelical Bob Jones University camp!!! I wouldn't give you a dime for
that mess at Bob Jones, nor their sorry graduates. What a shame to the cause
of Christ. The gloves are off!
THE TRUTH MATTERS! THE TRUTH MATTERS! THE TRUTH MATTERS! THE TRUTH MATTERS! THE TRUTH MATTERS!
Outside The Gate With Jesus (I've been
kicked out of churches for my faithfulness to the Holy Bible!)
As the old adage goes... Follow the money! What does
your Bible read in Psalms 12:6-7??? Does it maintain God's PROMISE to
preserve His pure words unto every generation, or does it say that he will
protect the believer from the wicked? Clearly, God doesn't always protect
believers from the wicked, which is why they were fed to the lions in Rome!!!
Still today, Christians are being murdered in the Middle East, North Korea,
and other dictatorships and Communist nations without God. And might I add,
authentic Hyles-Anderson graduates are being fed to the lions at Bob Jones
University!!!
“This isn't over Jack
Hyles, this is over fundamentalism!
These are evangelicals fighting fundamentalists—that's what it's all
about; and their effort is to destroy Hyles-Anderson College. Over my dead
body they'll destroy Hyles-Anderson College; and their effort is to destroy
the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana; and I'll go to the finish
before I'll let it happen! That's what's going on!”
—Dr. Jack Hyles, a truthful
quote from the needful sermon, “Weathering
The Storm!”
I have been
put outside the gate with Jesus, shunned away, even prohibited from
simply attending church services by Bob Jones graduate churches, all
because they refuse to serve God correctly, and I am MUCH closer to the
Lord and truth than they are. Here is a beautiful
life-changing quote from Pastor Yankee Arnold, who is so correct in what
he says below...
Learn patience.
You're going to suffer wrongfully! People are going to say things that
they should not say. Most of your problems from people aren't going to
come from lost people. Most of the pressures upon Christians is from
Christians! Christians are the one that will destroy you faster than
anybody else in this world. It's not the Devil. It's not even your old
sinful nature. It's Christians who won't serve God totally; because if
they don't, and you do, you're a rebuke to them and they are going to
pull you down, one way or the other. They gotta justify their lack of
service, their lack of love. It's a damaging thing! That's why God says
I wish you were either “hot” or “cold,” but being “LUKEWARM” makes Me
sick!

Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold; a quote from his sermon,
“The
Call To Suffer.”
We need more hard-hitting preachers like Pastor
Phil Kidd, who pulls no punches...
“You know why I like the King James
Bible? It'll knock the bark off you! It doesn't cut any corners. It tells it
like it is, Brother! And whether you like it, lump it, bump it, or jump it;
Brother, this Book, it doesn't change to fit your fancy! It's right; it's
always been right! Hey, I want a Bible that'll tell it like it is! I want to
live right, raise my family right, tell my grandkids how to live right! I've
gotta have a Bible! I'm telling you, I am a King James man without an apology!
And if you go to a church where they use, recommend, study, or quote out of
anything else, you ought to get your family out of that mess, and get in a
Bible-believing, fire-breathing, Baptist, church! Any preacher that'll use
another Bible is a promoter of perverts! You tell 'em I said so!!!
—Evangelist Phil Kidd, from the sermon, “SODOMITE
STRATEGY!”
Amen Brother! Amen! America could be salvaged for
God if we had enough Spirit-filled, truth-telling, people-loving,
fire-breathing, fundamental, pure-hearted, King James Bible only, preachers,
like Evangelist Phil Kidd!!!
And hear me loud and clear, if you are a
Hyles-Anderson College graduate and you deny the inspiration of the King James
Bible, YOU ARE A FRAUD!!! You WON'T find Dr. Jack Hyles' signature on your
diploma (like I have on mine), unless his name was forged!!! In a million
years, Pastor Jack Hyles NEVER would have signed his name to a diploma of any
student who denied the inspiration of the King James Bible. Pastor Hyles NEVER
signed Bible “versions” (he always refused), he only signed his name to a KING
JAMES BIBLE! Get mad at me, I don't care. I'm 51 years old an growing old
quick, looking for the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ!
Proverbs 4:18, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more unto the perfect day.” I really don't care what my critics
think, God knows my heart. I only care what the precious Lord Jesus thinks, my
God and my Savior!
The Greatest Danger Of The New Bible Versions
And may I say, sincerely, I do NOT hate anyone in
this world. I do not hate the Bob Jones crowd, who are God's enemies, for God
Himself commands me as a believer to pray for my enemies. The Alexandrian
crowd are God's enemies! Dr. Jack Hyles said that in his timeless MP3 sermon,
“THE
BATTLE OF THE AGES,” and I fully agree with him. If you've never heard
this classic sermon, I plead with you to hear what Pastor Hyles has to say. It
is of the utmost importance! It would be utter hypocrisy for God to expect me
to love my enemies, while He hates His enemies. That is not my God. Christians
are expected by God to be as wise as serpents, but harmless as doves. I hate
what God hates, “evil” (Psalms 97:10); because the Holy Scriptures gives
me understanding, I hate “every false way!” Psalms 119:104, “Through thy
precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false
way.”
“The only inspired Words of God
are in the King James Bible!”
—Dr.
Jack Hyles (an
awesome quote —Dr.
Jack Hyles (THE
REAL BATTLE!”)
The reason why America's neo-evangelical churches
and Bible seminaries (cemeteries) are so corrupt today, is because they prioritize making
money over truth. Truly, “the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil” (1st
Timothy 6:10b). That is why Jesus plainly warned in Luke 16:13, “No
servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” To the SAME
degree that a preacher depends upon his salary instead of having faith in God,
he will compromise his stand for truth and betray the Word of God.
“The Bible is
no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all who oppose
it.” —Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
“It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The
principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.” —Horace Greeley
(1811-1872)
“The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit
which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a
crime against humanity.” —Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)
“The Bible has been the Magna Carta of the poor and oppressed. The human race
is not in a position to dispense with it.” —Thomas Huxley (1825-1895)
“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to
read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful
citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many
years made it a practice to read through the Bible every year.” —U.S.
President John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)
The Battle Rages On for the
Inspiration of God's Word
If
you stop and really think about the insanity of having literally
HUNDREDS of
English Bible versions to choose from, it ought to be alarming to any normal
thinking person. Consider again what the psalmist penned in Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is
very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” How in the name of
commonsense did we ever go in the Christian world, from possessing God's
“VERY PURE” words, to having to choose and discern between hundreds of
different conflicting Bible versions? Folks, that is clearly Satan at his
finest, confusing the world. Acts 19:32, “Some therefore cried one thing,
and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not
wherefore they were come together.” Just as the man with two watches
never knows what time it is, so also are churchgoers today confused who use
multiple Bible versions.
I
am gladly “obsessed” with the Bible issue debate, and brother I plan to stay
obsessed too! We are at war over the inspiration of God's Word. Those who say
that the King James Bible is not inspired open the door to a Pandora's Box of
umpteen Bible versions. I DO believe that the Greek Textus Receptus is
inspired by God, and the English predecessors to the King James Bible were
also inspired. Albeit, those people today who are attempting to bring back the
older inferior English versions are foolish in my opinion.
And may I say, just because a
particular English Bible can be improved in grammar does NOT mean that it is
not inspired, as long as THE TRUTH is conveyed as God intended. Please don't
misunderstand, I do NOT believe in thought inspiration; I believe in plenary
verbal inspiration, that is, every single word in the Holy Bible is inspired
by God almighty. I believe the King James Bible is perfect, infallible,
inerrant, pure, holy, trustworthy, preserved and most of all INSPIRED by God
almighty!!! God knew what He was doing when He gave us the precious King James
Bible in 1611, the last English translation that will ever be produced. Some
people want to argue, fuss and debate. Knock yourself out! I simply believe
that the KING JAMES BIBLE IS THE ONE!!!
And I know VERY SURE that all the
modern perversions based upon the
Alexandrian manuscripts are NOT THE ONE! I know that because they all
attack Jesus' deity, the Godhead, the blood sacrifice of Christ, His
sinlessness and Jesus' preeminence. The
modern versions all corrupt the Gospel. I know the King James Bible is THE
ONE because of the indwelling Holy Spirit Who tells me it is THE BOOK!!!!!!!
(1st John 3:24; John 14:17).
THE ALEXANDRIAN CULT EXPOSED! (MP3 by Dr. Peter Ruckman; exposing
the Alexandrian versions!)
In the introduction to the King
James Bible, the 54 translators themselves said that they were NOT trying to
produce a new Bible; but rather, TO MAKE A GOOD ONE BETTER! That doesn't mean
that the GOOD ONE is not inspired, nor does it mean that the BETTER ONE is
more inspired. Obviously, the Holy Bible cannot have an EXACT number of words,
because when translating from Hebrew and Greek to English, there are a
different amount of words. However, this is exactly why the King James
translators inserted italics in many places, so that you dear reader
could know and determine the context of the passage, and not the translators
themselves. They were very honest in their scholarship, letting you see over
their shoulders, so to speak, for your own benefit. The translators did not
assume the frightening responsibility of INTERPRETING the Word of God; but
rather, then merely TRANSLATED IT into English. It is up to you dear Christian
reader, to interpret for yourself through diligent study, with guidance of the
indwelling Holy Spirit (John 16:13), what God is saying to you. If you are not
a Christian, well, good night, GET SAVED
before it is too late!
