Scofield Reference Bible
- Thread starter Salty
- Start date
That has been and still is a very popular Bible in the IFB ranks in my area with its focus on Dispensationalism.
The original is the KJV and I've got one somewhere around here that my pastor gave my Dad when he was saved years ago.
The best part of the SRB on Blue Bible is the font!
My eyesight is not what it used to be. Now, it is much easier to read.
When I preach, I use my Large Print Bible - which at the moment is is my NKJV (Well, there goes my membership in KJO!
I'm surprised you read the SRB, are you a dispensationalist?
Yes, I am a Dippsy
In fact, I have a chart very similar to this on my wall over my desk
The pne I have is from Practical Bible School, (now Davis College)

My pastor would say, come on now put some ation in that dippsy.
In all capital letters, Dave Reese asserted: “There were no words changes in the text of the 1909 and 1917 editions” [of the Scofield Reference Bible] (Book No One Can Read, p. 51). Al Lacy claimed that the Old Scofield Reference Bible “has the untouched KING JAMES TEXT” (Can I Trust, p. 89).
Perhaps many are unaware of the fact that the Oxford edition of the KJV in the old Scofield Reference Bible had some uncommon, unique, different, or rare renderings including word divisions and word changes that could be said to characterize it [“burnt-offerings” (Gen. 8:20) instead of “burnt offerings,” “inquire” (Gen. 24:57) instead of “enquire,” “drink-offering” (Gen. 35:14) for “drink offering,” “shoulder pieces” (Exod. 28:7) instead of “shoulderpieces,” “peace-offering” (Exod. 20:24) instead of “peace offering,” “meat-offering” (Exod. 29:41) for “meat offering,” “burnt-sacrifice” (Exod. 30:9; Lev. 1:3) instead of “burnt sacrifice,” “and all that” (Lev. 14:36) instead of “that all that”, “daytime” (Num. 14:14) instead of “day time,” “unto the coast“ (Deut. 3:14) instead of “unto the coasts”, “all lost things” (Deut. 22:3) for “all lost thing,” “And when thou dost” (Deut. 24:10) instead of “When thou doest”, “Most High” (Deut. 32:8) for “most High,” “hastened” (1 Sam. 17:48) instead of “hasted”, “people of the men” (2 Sam. 16:15) instead of “people, the men”, “the Lord“ (1 Kings 8:56, Jer. 32:26) instead of “the LORD”, “greyheaded” (Ps. 71:18) instead of “grayheaded,” “grey” (Prov. 20:29) instead of “gray,” “multitude” (Matt. 9:8) instead of “multitudes,” “anything” (Rom. 8:33) instead of “any thing”, “instructers” (1 Cor. 4:15) instead of “instructors,” “inquired” (1 Pet. 1:10) instead of “enquired,” “lusteth” (Rev. 18:14 instead of “lusted”)]. In these places, the KJV text of the old Scofield Reference Bible differs from that in many typical post-1900 KJV editions. The second 1917 edition of Scofield Reference Bible and the 1945 edition followed the 1873 Cambridge edition’s correction “priests’ custom” (1 Sam. 2:13) instead of the 1769 Oxford edition’s “priest’s custom.”
When some KJV-only preachers were holding in their hands during the 1970’s and 1980’s the old Scofield Reference Bible and were preaching from it, they likely did not know that it had a few new differences, word changes, imperfections, flaws, or errors likely introduced by the printer or typesetter into its KJV text. Dave Reese’s assumption and claim that there were no word changes in the KJV text in the old Scofield Reference Bible was simply not true even though he was likely sincere in believing his incorrect opinion. The above few variations are in addition to the 30 to 40 typical differences between the text of a typical Oxford KJV edition and the text of a typical Cambridge KJV edition.
The later Scofield Study Bible edition with an additional 1996 copyright follows a Cambridge KJV text, and it does not have the above differences.

What the Esv was to Calvinist, that bible was for those holding to Dispy theology

I looked at the BLB Scofield notes and checked his notes in several places. He has good notes and Xref's so if you use it just for that why is there any problem?
You seem to follow a flawed man-made religion, DoG/TULIP, if memory serves.
was not stating was anything wrong with using that bible, just that it is the gold standard one to use among Dispy

I understand.
My point was that from what I have seen on here and other boards many groups tend to gravitate to one or two versions and then down play any other.
God never changes. He is the God of all grace. But he is also Judge of all the earth. So yes, God extends grace in all dispensations but he doesn't have grace as his operative principle of Divine dealing in but one dispensation. It is this one we are in now. It will end soon I think.
Dispensation
1.) exemption from a rule or usual requirement:
2) a political, religious, or social system prevailing at a particular time:
3.) the action of distributing or supplying something:
