Peter S. Ruckman Quotes 1

Dr. Peter S. Ruckman
* I will make it as plain as I can: If you want to go to Heaven, trust Jesus Christ; if you want to go to Hell, just trust something else, anything else, one road to Hell is just as good as another. That's all there is to it, the Gospel is so simple, but men make it so hard.

* If you wonder if a man is a Christian, nine times out of ten, he's not.
* The devil believes the Bible from cover to cover, but he doesn't accept the Author of the Bible, and winds up going to Hell.
* All a man can do to stay out of Hell is forsake his own righteousness, and trust to God's Righteousness, and God's Righteousness is a Person - the Lord Jesus Christ.
* Religion is what a man does to try and justify himself. Salvation is what Christ gives a sinner who realizes he can't justify himself.

And if you're going to be like Christ, you're going to have your Judas Iscariot, you're going to have your Pilate's judgment hall, you're going to have them pick up rocks to throw at you, you're going to have your Gethsemane, and you're going to have your Cross, if you're going to be like Christ.
* No evolutionist can demonstrate his religion, because he dies, every darwinist winds up in the graveyard. Then the worms gobble up that little brain, that he worshipped so ardently all his life.
* If you go to Hell, you'll never forgive yourself.
* The Bible is more dangerous than an atom bomb, the Bible will blow sin all to pieces.
* The main reason why any man is not saved is because he has a deadly appetite for filth. When you get sick and tired of your sins, you will come to Jesus Christ, and the reason why you haven't ever come to Jesus Christ is because you love your sins. That's the middle, that's the end, that's both ends tied up and thrown away, that's all there is to it. Once you get sick of yourself, you'll come to the Cross. You're just not sick of yourself yet. One more night with the frogs.
