Periander Esplana's Review of Dr. Peter S. Ruckman's book entitled "God Is Love"

Let me tell you at the outset that this is the greatest book ever written in this century about love.  There is no exaggeration in the above statement, just read it from cover to cover to believe it.

Its central thesis is that the essence of God's love can be found only in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross when He suffered and died for our sins to save us from condemnation and hell.

This is the book that really explained the true meaning of "God is Love."  It is beautifully concise because it has only five chapters but the scope is astounding.  It discussed literally everything about love and the meaning of love itself.

 Here are the five chapters of the book:
1.  The Missing Note
2.  How Can God be a God of "Love"?
3.  What Is This Thing Called Love?
4.  The Kiss of Death
5.  Speaking the Truth in Love

This book is full of definitions of love.  In the third chapter alone, it gives over one-hundred usages of the world "love" in the Bible.   And in the different chapters of this book, the sub-title aptly described what this book actually discussed to the point: "A Biblical Study of the Term 'Love' as it is Related to Other Religions, Ancient History, Contemporary American Society, the Modern Christian, and the Christian Ministry." 

You'll see that it is not a common book on the market that you can easily dismissed.  It is indeed hard to put down.  I even tried to read it in just one sitting but  it took me three days to finish it because of its in-depth content even though the language he used is so lucid, very contemporary and understandable.

Dr. Ruckman is known throughout the world because of his die-hard, polemic defense of the "ancient" King James Bible (A.V.1611).  Ironically, he always defended it in ALL his writings and preachings with his "post-postmodern" style.

Let me give you just five quotations taken from each of the five chapters of the book "God is Love:"

* * * * *

"If LOVE 'solves all problems' - and so say several million of the world's inhabitants - and LOVE is 'a more excellent way' (see 1 Cor.12:31, 13:13), how are Jews, Catholics, Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, and Greek Orthodox 'priests' going to stop killing each other when the men they got their deepest religious convictions from didn't love them and they don't love the authors of those 'faiths'?
If all you love is simply a religion - 'I've got my church, you've yours... don't knock my faith,' etc., then your religion has no relation to GOD; at least not any God who is said to be 'love' (1 John 4:6, 'God is love').  [p.20]

"All religions are simply systems for justifying self.  The more elaborate they are, the more of self is in them.  A religion is founded so the sinner doesn't have to deal with his Maker.  We call this gimmick 'The Fig Leaf Factor.'  Adam originated it (Gen.3:6-9).  It is inherited and passed on from generation to generation.  Another name for this device is 'Cain's Fruitstand' (Gen.4:2-6).  You cover up your sins with your good works.  The truth is, 'love,' in the Bible, is never disconnected from a sin-hating God who is 'HOLY': sinless." [p.36]

"If the Bible is what it professes to be - absolute, inerrant truth, coming from the One who created man - the key to 'love' (real love) will be found not only at the beginning of the Book (see p.53-54), but also at the end of the Book.  So, completely unlike Sutras, Vedas, Shastas, Koran, Analects, and Puranas (and all of the other man-made 'scriptures'), the Book closes with these words: 'As many as I LOVE, I rebuke and chasten' (Rev.3:19).  That is the last mention of the word 'love' in the Holy Bible.  It finishes the background for the word and frames the subject of 'love' so that SUFFERING and DEATH become part of the scenery.  They both were 'latent in the equation' when it was first mentioned in Genesis 22:2.  And this is what 'modern man' will not tolerate."  [p.65]

"The Book 'stands' whether your children live or die.  None of them are as important as the Book (Matt.24:35); not even the UNIVERSE is that important (2 Pet.3:8-16; Matt.24:35).  If you are 'one with the universe,' your 'future' is a blackened marshmallow."  [p.92]

"Dear Reader!!  You haven't been able to really understand one line that I have written since I quoted 'our God is a consuming fire' (p.33), if you haven't been to Calvary and seen your true condition there.
Life 'begins' with Jesus Christ (1 John 5:10-13), and it is everlasting life (John 5:24), going beyond the grave into eternity (Rom.8:28-30), because it is based on an eternal God's LOVE for sinners - like YOU.

'GOD IS LOVE.'" [p.129]

* * * * *

God it?  It is so amazing, Isn't it?  That's why I highly recommend this book to all who are tired of hearing the words "God is love" from preachers, religionists, New Agers, Eastern Masters, Internet gurus, Globalists, Humanists, neo-pagans, etc.  They don't know what they are talking about simply because they are totally ignorant of who GOD is and what LOVE is.

This book clearly show, beautifully explained, passionately exhibited, and courageously discussed what the WORLD doesn't know about love and what God Himself revealed by His love.

The Bible Formula Challenge

Do you want to find the Bible Formula with the same mathematical phenomena in
other books?

Try it if you can.

Ok, here are the odds.

Find any book throughout the history with the following characteristics:

1. It must be considered as one of the greatest books in the world.

2. It must be considered as one of the bestselling books of all time.

3. It must be a book which is considered sacred and holy that points a way or
salvation of ultimate concern.

4. It must have verses (or let’s say numbered sections, marked
sentences/phrases, etc.) because the first verse and last verse of that
book must have equal number of letters, vowels and consonants.

5. Its verses and chapters must have not been made with manipulation in
mind but developed in thousands of years by different persons in history.

6. The exact statistical numbers of its first and last verse (words, letters,
vowels, and consonants) must be found in other verses with the precise
number that point out the exact chapter and verse that will correspond
with the summation of the statistics of the first and last verse.

7. The precise statistics of that summation verse (words, letters, vowels, and
consonants) must be found in others verses in which the number will
correspond to itself (the summation verse) in its digit sum and factor.

8. The number of that statistics must correspond to the chapter and verse
parallelism of the first and last book (or any major divisions of that book)
that specify the exact number of those major divisions/separations.

9. The summation verse must be the most controversial in the history of
textual criticism (by means of evidential arguments) that must equal the
sum of the number of words, letters, vowels, and consonants of the first
verse and of the last verse.

10. It must have central verses that point out mathematically a doctrine,
concept or idea to another verse which contain the central doctrine,
concept or idea of that book as found in the summation verse.

11. That doctrine, concept or idea must be controversial in the history in such
a way that it has been discussed and debated by leaders and intellectuals
of science, philosophy and religion.

12. The date of publication of that book must be found in the equations of the
first verse and of last verse.

13. It must also be found in its longest chapter that deals about itself and in its
significant verse that point its uniqueness.

14. The three key verses (first, last and summation verses) must correlate
with one another in a matrix of the date of its publication centering on the
summation verse with intricate design.

15. The first and last verse must encode the date of its publication and it must
also be found in the central verses.

16. It must be a book that have been written within the span of at least 1,400
years by at least 35 writers/authors in two great ancient languages and
carefully translated in the span of 7 years under a king or any highest
authority (with the great name that can be found in the same book) by at
least 49 listed translators/linguists with great minds, skills and dignity.
They must be governed by 14 rules and checked their translation by at
least 14 times.

17. It must be a book which is considered as one of the major factors that
influence and developed English language and dictionary (or any
language of global importance) and used by God in saving millions since
the Reformation Period.

18. It must be a book that strongly influenced arts, literatures and
technologies.

19. It must be a book that you can hold now in your hand because it is easily
available in many bookstores and freely available in the Internet (thus, you
can download and print it).

20. It must be a book where there are trillions of books, articles, tracts,
displays, quotations, tapes, CDs, DVDs, preaching, teaching, debates,
etc. discussing and explaining its content.

21. It must be a book that can offer solution to the problems of science,
answer to the questions of philosophy and explanation to the mysteries of
religion (based on its three key verses that formed the “bible formula” that
centered on the greatest person in history) with embedded mathematical
designs, advanced scientific facts, profound wisdom, unmistakable
prophecies, practical advices for postmodern life, etc.

Challenge:
Can you give me a book with the same mathematical phenomena? Can you
show me your own "bible formula"? I'll wait for it. If not, don't insult the King
James Bible which is the very word of God because you are insulting God
Himself who is the ultimate author of that holy book.
