Featured Dake's Annotated Reference Bible

His bible was the foundation for word of faith such as hagin, Copeland, and Hinn, and its theology reflected in his notes were very heretical at times!

 

How about the part whee each member of trinity has 3 persons, so God is p persons, and that Jesus was not God Incarnated, but adopted as such at his Baptism?

 

This Bible is junk theology as it has far too much word of faith theology in it!

 

Account of the Dakes' ministry in Hammond, Indiana:

"Mrs. Pauline Dobbins McAfee of Akron, Ohio, a member of the Dake evangelistic party holding meetings at the Hammond Full Gospel Tabernacle, 5547 Sohl street, has just arrived....Mrs. McAfee is said to be one of the best gospel saxophone soloists."

"Mrs. McAfee is a sister of Dorothy Dobbins Dake, who is doing the evangelistic preaching at 8 o’clock each evening. Mrs. Dake and Mrs. McAfee before marriage had their own evangelistic and musical party and traveled as the Dobbins Sisters of Joplin, Mo., in the evangelistic field."

"Bible lectures will be given by Rev. Mr. Dake this week at the Bible study hour, 7:15 to 8:00."

Lake County Times, Aug, 18, 1931, p. 11




and in Pennsylvania:

"...garage was recently purchased by the Saxton Church of God congregation after the arrival of their new pastor Evangelist Dorothy Dake and the Rev. Finis Dake, her husband....The building formerly used as a service garage is now a clean, comfortable and attractive tabernacle"

"Mrs. Dake...has done evangelistic preaching for the past seventeen years....Mr. Dake...designed a large chart picturing the Bible from the beginning of Genesis through Revelation....he will begin lectures in the Saxton Church in the near future at which time this beautifully painted chart will be used."

"The Saxton church, where the Dakes are ministering, is a branch of the Church of God with headquarters in Cleveland, Tenn. The Rev. J. H. Walker is the denomination's general overseer"

Huntingdon Daily News, Dec. 29, 1942, p. 3

The Church of God that I was familiar with was the Cleveland, Tn. church. I don't think they had any dislike for the Dake Bible. I just don't recall seeing anyone with a Dake Bible while in their midst. It was just not a popular item there like it was in the Assemblies of God.

Quote: George Antonios
"Um, Dake has some wild stuff, but Jonah dying in the fish is not bizarre at all."

Jonah 1:11—2:2 | Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Jonah 2:1-6 | Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee

J. Vernon McGee preached that Jonah died in the fish's belly. He commented that when he gets to heaven and after talking to Jonah, if Jonah says that he lived in the fish's belly, everyone can feel free to come and say "See, we told you so."

 

Every indication in the text is that he died.
Like praying out of hell.
If it be denied that hell is literal there, see #2 in my signature.
We could open a thread about that.

 

Thanks. That is the group I figured you meant. If I remember correctly Dake was part of this Church of God groups at one time or another. One of the Church of God groups sells this following book, which appears to support the King James Bible (only). I will know soon. The Bible, Authorized King James Version Vindicated (tcogbookstore.com)

I thought the same thing. I have listened to McGee a lot and thought I remembered him saying that. I have seen/heard other respected Bible teachers write/say this also, so that comes off as kind of nit-picking on Dake, whether you agree with that position or not. I have major disagreements with his theology, but I think some of the stuff I've seen written against him (here and linked) gives off the smell of just trying to see how deep one can bury him. I don't have the time or inclination to look further into it, but I suspect much of his language about the Trinity developed in opposition to the "Oneness" theology of some other Pentecostals, and that he did not really deny the Trinity as some have claimed. He does seem to have denied or questioned the standard view of the omniscience of God. I'd say William Lane Craig and his open theism does as well, but a lot of people here seem to like him, perhaps because his statements are dressed up in fancier theological garb?

 

A lot of the reason Dake became so hated is because he was the Jerry Lee Lewis of Pentecostalism....that is, he got caught taking a teenage girl across the state line and spent time in a hotel with her (at least Jerry married his teenager). Plus he is Word of Faith.

 

Ummm he was arrested, he was prosecuted, and he was defrocked. Apparently the culture surrounding the issue was not fond of middle aged men with teenage girls. Were some teenagers getting married? Yes, my grandmother married my grandfather when she was only 14 - but he was only 16!

And I was only answering one of your question; "why was he so hated". Just trying to help a little. Your asking questions above my paygrade

 

What a temperate, gracious post sounds like ^

 

George I hope your not implying I am being rude. If you are I assure you it is a misreading due to the vehicle of communication. Had you seen my facial expression, read my eyes, and the like; you would have know I'm being jovial.

 

Not at all, you weren't in my mind at all. I was comparing @rlvaughn 's post to posts in general, not yours.
Sorry if it came across that way.

 

Awesome-sauce

 

It says Sheol. And David also says Sheol in Psalm 30:3 so are you arguing that David also came back from the dead?

 

I know at one time there were racist statements in it. They may have been eemoved by now. ‍♂️

 

The above statement is true. Frederick Price, the popular black word of faith minister, started preaching against the Dake Annotated Reference Bible a decade or so ago, and complained to a family member whom owned all or part of the rites (I think it may have been Dake's nephew but I'm not sure offhand), and it was eventually edited out.

 

Just noticing there are two different (perhaps competing?) sites for the Dake Reference Bible.
