Scofield gave this commentary:
The dispensational framework is too rigid as a hermeneutics for interpreting the Bible.
Didache 8:
I do.
That's good. However, there was a catch:In the so-called Lord's prayer Christ gives an incomparable model for all prayer. It teaches that right prayer begins with worship; puts the interest of the kingdom before merely personal interest; accepts beforehand the Father's will, whether to grant or withhold; and petitions for present need, leaving the future to the Father's care and love.
Scofield believed in dispensationalism. He thought Jesus gave the model prayer for the dispensation (age) of the Law and not the dispensation of Grace/church.Used as a form, the Lord's prayer is, dispensationally, upon legal, not church ground;
Scofield said the Lord's prayer did not apply to our current dispensation.it is not a prayer in the name of Christ (cf) Jn 14:13,14 16:24 and it makes human forgiveness, as under the law it must, the condition of divine forgiveness; an order which grace exactly reverses (cf) Eph 4:32.
The dispensational framework is too rigid as a hermeneutics for interpreting the Bible.
Didache 8:
Should we pray the Lord's prayer daily?2. And do not pray as the hypocrites, but as the Lord commanded in his Gospel, pray thus: "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, as in Heaven so also upon earth; give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debt as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One, for thine is the power and the glory for ever." 3. Pray thus three times a day.
I do.
