  1. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    Continued: Does it avoid or distort covenant theology? Instead of showing the continuity of God’s redemptive plan from Genesis to Revelation, the chain creates artificial divisions and timelines. Jeremiah 31:31 – “I will make a new covenant…” Hebrews 8:6–13 confirms Jesus has already...
  2. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    What Scofield Actually Did: (Completely explained in great detail) He built a framework of cross-references that form a circular logic loop. Many of them seem helpful at first glance… But instead of reinforcing the plain context of the passage, they redirect you to other verses interpreted...
  3. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You're arguing in circles now. First you say "yom means a 24-hour day in context" — then ignore the actual context, which is a non-clock-based poetic creation hymn where the sun (the basis of our 24-hour system) doesn't exist until Day 4. "Evening and morning" is not a stopwatch, it's a...
  4. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You just admitted “yom” doesn’t always mean a literal 24-hour day in Genesis 2:4 — which torpedoes your entire claim that it must mean that in Genesis 1 just because of “evening and morning.” You can’t have it both ways. The same author, the same book, the same word — used flexibly depending on...
  5. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You’re confusing symbolic repetition with literal chronology. Yes, God uses the number seven throughout Scripture as a pattern — but patterns aren’t proofs of time duration. They’re literary structures, theological rhythms, covenantal symbols. The fact that Israel marched around Jericho for...
  6. The Gospel of Christ

    The biggest change coming our way is the warming of our oceans.

    You’re right about one thing: God will not be mocked. Which is exactly why twisting prophecy into an excuse for apathy, recklessness, and laziness is mockery. God told Adam to tend and keep. That command hasn’t been revoked. Delegating judgment to angels in Revelation doesn’t cancel Genesis 2...
  7. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You keep saying “evening and morning = 24 hours” as if repeating it makes it true, but the text says no such thing. You’re reading that into the passage, not pulling it out of it. Genesis 1 uses poetic structure — not clocks — and the fact that the sun and moon don’t exist until Day 4 makes a...
  8. The Gospel of Christ

    The biggest change coming our way is the warming of our oceans.

    God delegated authority to Adam to tend the garden — not torch it. Delegation isn’t a license for negligence. It’s a call to stewardship. Your obsession with angels killing armies and controlling weather in Revelation doesn’t erase the first command God ever gave humans: ‘Tend and keep.’ That’s...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    I present Hebrew, Augustine, and biblical context — and you throw a fortune cookie insult? Come back when you have an argument.

  11. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You're quoting “evening and morning” like it proves 24-hour clock time — but that only works if you ignore everything else about Hebrew language, ancient cosmology, and Genesis itself. Let’s walk through what your argument misses: “Yom” (יוֹם) in Hebrew is a flexible word — it can mean a...
  12. The Gospel of Christ

    The biggest change coming our way is the warming of our oceans.

    You say preterists are deceived, but everything you’ve just said is built on the very framework Darby and Scofield invented, whether you’ve read them or not. You’re repeating their theology word-for-word — from the 3½ year fragmentation of Daniel, to a still-future temple, to a political...
  13. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You just asked how I’m “preparing” for the tribulation — as if faith in Christ needs a bunker, a rapture chart, or a Scofield escape clause to stand firm. Here’s my answer: I prepare the same way the Apostles did — by dying daily. By enduring in faith. By refusing to run from hardship...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    Understand this... If Christians had been called “New Jews” or “Covenant Jews” instead of “Christians,” they’d understand exactly who they are. But because the name changed, the connection was severed in the minds of the brainwashed. They don’t realize the true Israel is not land, not...
  15. The Gospel of Christ

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    That’s what makes the Scofield Bible so dangerous — it doesn’t change the text, it reframes how you interpret it. Yes, the scripture is still there… but once you start reading the Bible through Scofield’s footnotes, you’re no longer letting scripture interpret scripture — you’re letting a...
  16. The Gospel of Christ

    The biggest change coming our way is the warming of our oceans.

    Yes — the Bible doesn’t lie. But your understanding of it is built on Scofield’s footnotes and wishful thinking, not the actual text. God absolutely controls creation — but that doesn’t mean human beings can’t damage it. The first mandate ever given to humanity was to “tend and keep” the earth...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    You’re asking the right questions — and yes, your guess is dead on. Dallas Theological Seminary is ground zero for Scofield’s theology in the United States. DTS was founded in 1924 by Lewis Sperry Chafer, a direct disciple of Scofield himself. Chafer took Scofield’s notes, timelines, and...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    I’m not appealing to authority—I’m appealing to original language, historical theology, and consistent biblical context. The Hebrew word “yom” is used throughout the Old Testament to mean different lengths of time, including metaphorical and epochal periods. That’s not cherry-picking; that’s...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    Ah, so you linked Irenaeus Book V thinking it proves he taught a modern Scofield-style rapture. Thanks—I’ve read it. That link actually buries your argument, not mine. Here’s the reality: Irenaeus did not teach a pre-tribulation rapture. He never taught that the Church would disappear secretly...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    Changing my tune? Not even close. You’re just proving you didn’t actually read what I wrote — or worse, you did and still missed the point. Let’s walk slow so no one trips: Yes — Scofield himself was financially and institutionally supported. Not directly by Rockefeller checks written to...
