Featured Dake's Annotated Reference Bible

Thanks. I was trying to understand the difference in the Assemblies of God liking the Bible, and the Church of God not, and thought that might have been the reason.

BTW, do you mean the Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee? I thought Finis Dake was a member of and preacher in one of the Churches of God at one time or another.

Thanks.

 

Not necessarily saying this is what you are doing, but it looks like you have already made up your mind and are just going to reject any negative comment about the work...

 

Sigh.

Dake's Annotated note e, Jonah 1:17

"Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah."

Dake: "Jonah was not miraculously kept alive; he died when thus swallowed up"

 

Great for lists.

 

Um, Dake has some wild stuff, but Jonah dying in the fish is not bizarre at all.
Not here to debate that point now, but just saying.

 

That is racist in the technical sense of the term, not in the moral sense of the term: it doesn't mean Dake hated people of other races and thought his own superior.

 

There is no indication from the text that he died.

 

Dake's "30 reasons for segregation of races", found in his notes at the end of Acts:

 

This Church of God group (Cleveland, TN: there are some unrelated groups that are also called "Church of God") traces their roots to R. G. Spurling and his father Richard Spurling in Eastern Tennessee. They were Missionary Baptist preachers who desired greater ecumenical fellowship with other churches than was generally acceptable among the Baptists of their area. I am not sure they were even pentecostal. A. J. Tomlinson came among these people later and brought them organization. He may not have initially been pentecostal, but would become so under the expanding influence of the Azusa Street Revival. There are numerous splits from this group that also use the name Church of God, and I find them hard to understand and keep up with. I am not sure in what way any of these groups relate to the KJV, other than knowing the book store of Church of God (International, I think they call it) sells The Bible: Authorized King James Version Vindicated by Victor L. Emerson (which is probably a KJVO book).

The Assemblies of God was founded in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1914, and I think they have always been pentecostal. They may generally prefer King James's Bible, but based on some statements I found on their web site, they do not seem to oppose using other Bible versions.

 

Yes

Very comprehensive article here!

He denied many of the foundations Christian doctrines, as had a faulty view on the trinity, and that Jesus was not God incarnate, but baptized with Holy Spirit at baptism and then was "adopted" as God!

 

Many charismatics!
