  1. Owens needs to quote chapter and verse on where Scofield ‘rewrote’ the Bible to support ‘Christian Zionism.’ It would real interesting to see since he did not re-write the KJV Bible. He only added notes. We attended for years, churches which used the Scofield Bible and I can’t remember a single reference from the pulpit concerning any ‘Israel is always right’ messages, neither can friends remember any such goings on in their different churches. I do remember pastors making sure no one thought Scofield’s notes were inspired. Either all the pastors (and church members) I mixed with, missed the ‘Zionist’ point or somebody’s making stuff up out of whole cloth in order to create a scape goat out of Scofield. All Scofield did was reference verses to some degree showing where certain themes land thruout the Bible. It’s even in the name – ‘Scofield REFERENCE Bible.’ I’d be willing to bet 5years ago no one in the White House circle had even heard of the Scofield Bible, much less read or used it for their Bible study. It totally fell into disuse years ago. You can’t get church people to even read the Bible today, much less go thru notes and study anything specific, so they are not going to even touch a Scofield. All this dust-up about Scofield is just much ado about nothing.

    From Brave’s Ai – There is no historical evidence that the Rothschild family funded C. I. Scofield or the publication of his Reference Bible. While conspiracy theories claim the family orchestrated the work to promote Zionism, scholarly research and fact-checks confirm that the Scofield Bible was funded by non-Jewish Christian businessmen, specifically Alwyn Ball, Jr. and John T. Pirie, who were part of the dispensationalist Plymouth Brethren movement.

    1. With all due respect, your anecdotle evidence does nothing to disprove the impact the Schofield bible has had on evangelical theology and its general doctrinal ecology. His bible was widely used for many years in seminaries serving as the theological foundation for very many protestant pastors. It was the source of Dispensational theology, Rapture futurism and eventually Christian Zionism. Those are facts proven in several books I have read regarding his bible, his benefactors/sponsors/mentors. For example, Darby who hated the traditional bible, created his own “translation” using syncrenetic and Kabbalhistic language and whose family’s Leap Castle is associated with occultic meetings and is considered the most haunted in all of Scotland. Where it became heretical and quite dangerous, is when scholars ascribed at least the appearance of doctrine to Schofield’s marginal notes. My friend, these are demonstrable facts and I posit you are creating your own conspiracy theory in denial or at least dismissal of these facts. In Christ, RB

  2. Christian Zionism has become a plague of a false gospel on dumbed down Christians who do not understand or comprehend the scriptures and they have been easily duped by satan the father of lies.

  3. Zionism is, in part, why I fled Protestant Evangelicalism to the Orthodox Church.

    In the Orthodox Church, Zionism is seen for what it is. A continued attempt to repudiate Christ and His Kingdom.

    Oh, and stop calling them “Christian Zionists.”

    They are either Christians or Zionists they can’t be both.

    1. And the Greek Orthodox patriarch is tight with intel, Pompeo, and got 20 million from someone. So much much for Orthodox Christian leaders. The Patriarch and certain compadres created a schism between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under Russia, and create a brand new Ukrainian Orthodox sect. Many were beaten, tortured, and died. Even monks and priests. Wicked shepherds.

    2. Where were you going to a church preaching Zionism ? Not specifically naming the church but denomination and state. I’ve (I know, anecdotal) been in and visited tons of churches and never heard it. Never heard a single sermon on Zionism at any pastor’s conference. Just curious.

      1. I attended a Baptist church and while they didn’t preach Zionism from the pulpit, Zionism was evident in their adoration of the modern State of Israel.

        It was as if Israel could do no wrong and the Arabs deserved everything the Zionists did to them because they weren’t Jews.

        I finally got tired of it and left.

        1. I would have left as well. Thanks for the reply.
