Ruckman characterized those who endorse the latter as members of the "Alexandrian Cult," people who believe that while the autographs were God-inspired, they have been lost, and that therefore there is "no final, absolute written authority of God anywhere on this earth".

[13] Ruckman also wrote that the Septuagint was a hoax perpetrated by the "Alexandrian cult" under the leadership of the Church Father Origen Adamantius (as part of his Hexapla) in the 3rd century AD in order to subvert belief in the integrity of the Bible.

As a trichotomist, he believed human beings were composed of body, soul and spirit, arguing that mankind, made in the image of God, reflected the Trinity.
