Cloud hates Ruckman and belittles him and ridicules him. He also lies about him and takes his quotes out of context to make it look like he believes evil things that he does not. He's also overly concerned about externals...women wearing pants is taught as a definite sin. My opinion is that David Cloud is extremely Pharisaical. The man annoys me lol. Many Fundamentalists look up to him almost like he is a god (in my opinion) and that is why I personally see him as a Fundamentalist pope...since many take what he believes and writes to be gospel.
