The Scofield Reference Bible had sold more than two million copies by the end of WWII after being published in the early 20th century.  It has greatly influenced multitudes more- including through the vast influence which the Dallas Theological Seminary has had.  

Cyrus Scofield had already obtained the reputation of being a dishonest, unscrupulous man by the time of his alleged conversion to Christ in 1879.  It is no wonder that a man who has been so influential in persuading people that the Christian is released from obligation to keeping God’s law abandoned his first wife and permanently cut off support of the couple’s two minor daughters.  

1 Timothy 5:8: “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”  

Scofield’s abandonment of his family after his alleged conversion to Christ is also publicly documented by an 1883 court ruling granting Scofield’s first wife the divorce which she sought on the grounds of desertion; and also granting her full custody of the couple’s two daughters.  There is no good reason to believe that Scofield’s dishonest, unscrupulous behavior stopped at the point of his alleged Christian conversion.  There are several reports of his fraudulent behavior both before and after that point- besides his dereliction of duty in relation to his daughters which he never ceased to continue in.

Another extremely suspicious thing about Scofield’s life is his acceptance as a member in the Lotos Club of New York City in 1901.  This club was an upscale Manhattan hangout which was not open to the public.  Many believe that the one who got Scofield in was Samuel Untermyer, a Jewish lawyer who has been linked to international bankers and other prominent people in the Zionist movement.  Besides this, there is much circumstantial evidence anyways that there were powerful Zionists influencing and supporting Scofield.

The concept that God has a separate covenant with ethnic Jews who reject Jesus Christ, and has unconditionally granted ethnic Jews the land that was known as Canaan, permeates the realm of modern evangelical Christianity.  The prevalence of Zionism among professing born-again Christians in America has been essential for the Zionist cause.  The influence of the Scofield Reference Bible brought about this prevalence.  

The prevalence of the concept that the Christian Church will be raptured out of the world before a seven year period of tribulation is also a concept which the Scofield Reference Bible made popular.  

Though these concepts did not originate from Scofield himself, they are a few key examples of lies which the Scofield Reference Bible has been instrumental in spreading.  

Many of our messages deal in one way or another with exposing and refuting errors related to Dispensational Theology.
