BBB:Bible preservation by Herb Evans
The following article is by Herb Evans and contains a very
interesting quotation by Dr. J. Frank Norris, given in June 1924. Frank
Norris is repudiated by "Hot Dog" Hymers and Gary Hudson. He is also
repudiated by the faculty and staff at Baptist Bible College, as well
as Arlington.
Read the article; it's very interesting. Notice that Gary Hudson
professed here to have an advanced revelation from what he wrote
several months ago in his book, "Why I Left Ruckmanism." He said the
King James was an exact copy of the originals. I have the quotation,
and it will appear in print pretty soon in our publication called "The
Last Grenade."
by Herb Evans
". . . my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out
of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever" (Isa.
59:21).
"The one issue between the fundamentalists and the modernists is the
integrity of the Scriptures....Have we an infailible, supernaturally
inspired and inerrant Bible? On the answer to the question hangs the
whole body of truth. If we have no infallible Bible, then we have no
infallible Christ" (Dr. J. Frank Norris, Sixth World's Fundamental
Convention, Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 1924).
"I do not `now' believe that the TR nor the MT are infallible or
inerrant, and I NEVER HAVE....I do not believe an exact, inerrant
version or text exists" (Gary R. Hudson, October 30, 1989).
Friend and foe alike, who have been observing the "supposed
Ruckmanite Defector" (what did he defect from?), will no doubt wonder
at the latest advanced revelaion. We wonder what the periodicals and
Bible society, which sponsored his books and tapes, are going to do
with the obvious contradiction to their own charter and position.
We had tried, unsuccessfully, to get Gary to admit to such a clear,
concise statement, to no avail. Dallas Bunch, a pastor in Maryland, was
able to get this statement from Gary in writing.
Gary has come a long way from his early days of speaking "double-
speak," and we commend him for it. We can remember when Gary believed
that copies, which Timothy had, were "inspired" and "preserved." We can
remember when Gary accused Dr. Ruckman and "Ruckmanites" of changing,
adding to, and dishonoring the "God-given Hebrew and Greek texts." We
can remember when he called something the "providentially preserved
texts." We can even remember when Gary believed that "the correct line
of Hebrew and Greek manuscripts" were the scriptures, which "cannot be
broken," and spoke of the "preserved wording of the original texts."
We are most perplexed as to the reason why Gary even bothers to
chastise corrections of the Greek with the English or advanced
revelations from the English. What about advanced revelations from the
errant, fallible Greek and Hebrew?
What a strange view of "preservation"! We wonder if it was taught
prior to 1950.
