Peter Ruckman and UFOS
I have heard a lot over the years about Peter Ruckman but this takes the cake.
From a book review by David Cloud and according to the book "Black Is Beautiful" (1996), Peter Ruckman “…believes that some of the medieval plagues in Europe were caused by UFOs, that a B-52 bomber was downed by a UFO and that aliens disemboweled the crew members, and that a crew member of a US Navy ship was transported into the future. He believes the CIA has implanted brain transmitters in children, old people, blacks, and prisoners(p. 243) and operates underground alien breeding facilities (p. 256). He believes in Atlantis (p. 171) and the Bermuda Triangle, time warps (p. 160), creatures with one eye (p. 173), web footed aliens, blue aliens with blue blood (pp. 85, 86), black aliens with green blood (p. 244), and grey aliens with clear blood (pp. 310-11). He believes that Adam originally had water in his veins instead of blood (p. 185). He believes that the government is involved with UFO animal mutilations (p. 247). He believes that black helicopters carrying UN troops are "circling your homes" with the mission of attacking and imprisoning the populace (p. 233). He believes the
Wow! Where is that in the 1611 authorized version? This would be laughable if Dr. Ruckman's followers did not take him so seriously.

Wow....how far out there is that!! I had no idea that he believed all this. I knew he was wrong and have no desire to follow him or even read any of his stuff...but this is just too weird to believe. What in the world are these people thinking?
Perhaps you should read the book. Dr Ruckman does not state anywhere that he "believes" in it. He is simply quoting various sources. The book isn't about the KJB, it isn't about anything other than government conspiracies. Personally, I didn't get anything out of the book, but it doesn't make a difference to what he believes about the KJB does it?
How can you know he is wrong if you have never read any of his stuff? I have only seen about 5 quotes of his, 4 from "Black is beautiful" and 1 from "Manuscript Evidence" - the following quote:
- "Mistakes in the KJB are advanced revelation". If you read it in context, you can see he uses this quote as a sarcastic comment against the replacement of the word churches for temples in some of the new versions, and how the word churches (in acts 19:37) gave the reformation a finger to point towards Rome (the robbers), whereas the "original" greek says temples (of Dianna), which don't exist anymore.
- The other quotes from Black is Beautiful are not even Ruckmans, but rather, him paraphrasing some external source of information.
Once again, how can you know he is wrong based on several out of context quotes. It's very easy to misrepresent someone by only quoting a handful of what they said. He has written over 200 books, 100,000 + pages, and yet, he only gets nailed on 4 or 5 quotes.
Read "Manuscript Evidence". You'll probably find it edifying and end up saying, as I did, "Wow, he isn't a heretic. He simply believes the book amen!"
