And this is what was commonly held until Ruckman came on the scene and started calling the KJV "insired" and muddying the waters.

That is sadly true. I've often marveled at how well visitors are treated and how harshly members are dealt with: If a visitor comes one Sun AM and the subsequent one, he is fawned over. If a member does the same, he is castigated for skipping PM and Wed.
I very much appreciate churches in which the pastor thanks the people for coming and doesn't take the member for granted.

John R. Rice and Bob Jones Sr were paid to propagate Segregation.Twisted said:
Rice grew up in the home of the Grand Dragon of East Texas.
Between that, and taking Scofield notes as a cirriculum, it's no wonder Rice was off a little.

Rice was one who propagated IFB fundamentalism, but not sure who would pay him to propagate segregation.
Aside from Rice, my point was and is that KJVO, as practiced by most, is a small and shrinking pond.
Yes, his father was a klansman, but he repudiated his father's "error" publicly.prophet said:
Uh, you are aware, are you not, that Rice was NOT a dispensationalist?prophet said:

Looking for info on Rice's eschatology, I came across this dated but interesting article on John R. Rice.

John R. Rice was, IMO, an editor, publisher, book writer and bookseller. He was a so-so evangelist.
He was a man of principle that is sorely lacking today. A loving husband and father.
His best books were on prayer and the home. His commentaries are primarily "milk". The Sword of the Lord no longer publishes many of his books.
I took this photo and have fond memories of spending time with both Rice and Hutson. Rice definitely loved to have his photo taken.
At this meeting, he was "losing it". He called women who wore pants "trash" and had all the women stand and prayed that those women standing would all have a baby! Oops! He normally would ask only those wanting a baby to stand. As he prayed and the reason for his prayer became obvious, many women screamed and sat down quickly! They knew this man had power in prayer.
prophet said:
Any proof for that statement about John R Rice? The statement seems pretty nasty... (and I'm talking about "paid to propagate segregation").
No one can control who their parents are and what they believe, but (more to the point), is there any proof that Dr Rice advocated the KKK?

This kind of superstition is ludicrous; it makes God out to be some kind of cosmic vending machine that people can manipulate if they say the right words. God is the One with power.
Per the date of the article, he had less than a year to live...
