A Look at Scofield.

[james516]

This man clearly was an attacker of the KJV Text as the below PDF Article shows.I think everyone that is Only KJV should read this.He casted doubt after doubt on the KJV Text in his notes.I never really payed that much attention on his marginal notes just his foot notes.

The file is a PDF File from The Trinitarian Bible Society.


I am shocked and my Scofield is boxed and stored.

Scofield: The Man Behind The Myth

Thanks Davo.

I abandoned the pre-trib rapture also after much research.I believe many wont be prepared and will no doubt abandone the faith once they find themselves in something their ears was tickled that was not to happen to them.

That's funny, after a brutal in-depth study(read it all over the place here on our website) I found the pre-trib rapture the only correct viewpoint of eschatology.

In reference to Scofield, I find him to be one of the most overall in-depth and correct (although some very big mistakes in some places) in footnotes out of all the biblical footnotes thus far. I would like to see what exactly you found that was so heretical about his footnotes.

Please don't get to dogmatic, it has annihilated just as many churches as ecumenism and new evangelicalism has.

Love in Christ,

Jim

What do I find heretical about Scofields notes Brother Jim?

Plenty.

According to Scofield`s foot notes, Jesus has no throne as of yet Jesus has been demoted. He's up in Heaven today wandering around in a Jewish human body without a throne, waiting for a second opportunity to someday be King of the Jews.

But unto the Son He saith, THY THRONE, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER.
(Hebrews 1:8)

God bless.

Where is this footnote?

[Jim]

Just to clarify, I use the old 1917 scofield notes, not the modern ones.

[james516]

The note`s Brother Jim you can follow a chain of them from SRB Page 1003.


"My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).

God bless.

I have one of those also Brother Jim. For the most part I find him very conservative and sound. There are a few places I disagree with his comments but that can be seen by comparing what he has to say with scripture.

Another man I have come to really like and respect is Oliver B.Greene. He is a very conservative, fundamental Baptist. I have a number of books he has written which I have bought on ebay for very reasonable prices. He h as one that is called "Man and His Relationship With God," that is outstanding, There is a 76 page section in the book on worry versus faith. It is really good and points out from the Bible how worry is without doubt sin because it shows a lack of faith,

If any of you get a chance to read some of Greene's writings I highly recommend them.

In Christ,
George

Yes Oliver B.Green has some good books especially By Grace.I ran across the below article on Scofield.He should have known better that Christ is our only mediator.{1st Tim 2:5}


Pretrib icon C. I. Scofield could be hypocritically double-minded. In a 1921 letter to his daughter Abigail, who had a financial need while then living in San Luis Obispo, California, he advised her to pray to a Catholic saint: "...why don't you seek the special intercession of the San Luis in whose name-town you live?" (This entire letter is in Joseph Canfield's classic work The Incredible Scofield and His Book published by Ross House Books.)

Brother Miller, I will have to check into this. Like George said, he(Scofield) had an incredible insight into God's Word and for the most part, he was extremely accurate in his original notes. Yes, there are some things I completelydisagree with, but that is ok. I also have heard that he befriended Westcott and Hortt, and some other accusations, but that does not make his 1917 notes of none effect.

George, I know about Oliver B Greene very, very well. I have the privilege of knowing Oliver B. Greene's brother, Jack Greene. He lives very close to us and attends church with us every so often. They were (and are) wonderful men of God. To hear Jack Greene preach is an absolute treat. He is every bit as effective as his brother was.

I will stop my particular post here with a thought. Many preachers and expositers have rumors and accusations drawn to them like a carcass draws flies. I recommend christians not preoccupy their time researching a person's life and disregard what they preach. You will ALWAYS come up short and something wanting. Just look at my life. If what I preach and teach to others is determined to be listend to, by my past life, nobody would listen.

That means that you would not listen to the apostle Paul, he tortured and killed christians. Always remember this:

Truth is truth, regardless of the lips that utter it.

Love in Christ,

Jim

[james516]

Brother Jim I am not as much interested in Scofields notes as I am what the Bible actually teaches.I find Scofield saying one thing and the Bible saying something totally different.

God bless.

Brother Miller.

[Jim]

By the way, I am a pretribulational rapturist, it is the only accurate eschatological view IMO.

[james516]

Bro Jim I was a Pre-Trib.Now I am Post Trib because my KJV Bible teaches it and I now I dont find it near as confusing.Christ returns at the 7th and last Trump to Rapture the saint after the Tribulation.

God bless.
