This is more evident in Catholic theologians. Catholic theologians will stand before an audience and with a straight face pronounce Catholic doctrine and false church history as truth, not because it is the truth, but because they are Catholics. That makes it okay. It doesn't make any difference who is right or wrong, just that I oppose you and win the game at all costs. Lets look at the first of these three fatal commitments which is pride .
Pride is a deadly force when it is ingrained in the human spirit with a doctrine attached.
Truth will be ignored and even sacrificed to prove a point, the end justifying the means. There is always intimidation and other aggression associated with such a bondage. If you have ever read his ludicrous statements assaulting people you would be horrified that such evil could be committed by a professing Christian. Dr. Ruckman can get pretty vulgar. Although many pre-trib rapturists will attack with the same spirit, not all are as violent as Ruckman.
