Just my opinion, but I’d steer clear of this church. I know a lot of people like the king James but you know, we don’t speak that same dialect and a lot of words used in it take on a whole nother meaning in todays dialect and language. And it sounds like this church has taken advantage of that or they are missing the mark themselves. Compare a few other versions on the exact same passage. All of the following are from reprints during the 70's 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth modern language Do your utmost to present yourself to God approved, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly interpreting the message of the truth living bible Work hard so God can say to you “well done”. Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work, know what his Word says and means revised standard Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth good news Do your best to win full approval in God’s sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God’s truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been back there and the one who befriended me as not contacted me lately. I had an acquaintance at AV Bible Believers Fellowship (avbbf.com, or something) that believed the way this church does. They were big on "Rightly Dividing the Word" and Dispensationalism but in but in an umbalanced way. Anything that distracts from Christ, huh? That elevates against the knowledge of Christ. Someone asked, How are you doing a post up. Well, I am between churches and I've haven't a clue what is God will concerning one, so many miss the mark.

The believe in secondary inspiration, that the KJV is THE inspired version for English speakers. When I was a kid, Ruckman was pretty good, but he's gone WAY off the deep end. My daughter went to Pensacola Christian college, a very conservative college in it's own right, and kids from Ruckman's school used to come and cause commotion in the church services there if anything happened they didn't agree with, such as a woman singing a special, or song they considered "modern." IMHO, they are Westboro BC lite. My way or the highway types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASV 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. NIV I know they feel the KJV to be without err... It can be misinterpreted though given todays use of the english language. I always pray for discernment & then consult multiple translations in the review of an idea that seems contrary to God and the Word of God. by dividing scripture they are actually contradicting this very scripture by incorrectly handling the word of truth. Ironic I find it! Bless your heart and pray for discernment & I'm certain the Lord will provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
