Wow! One thing this sure shows is Dr. Ruckman doesn't leave people "in the middle of the road". I read his "Black is Beautiful" book (it seemed weird to me). I used his commentary on "Revelation" and found it quite helpful. Of course there are beliefs he has I don't agree with, but, I can't say anything about him except what he has said in his writings.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

I know none of you outside this forum. However, some of you seem WAY to serious. You should lighten up, you are going to strain something.
