Notes in the Margins of Your Bible

Scofield should have found a text that he actually believed was translated properly, rather than publishing a reference system Bible that cast doubt on the text at every turn.
Darby's New Translation was available, and he was a fellow dispy.

I wore out my Thompson Chain, which I relished, due to all of the study guides after the text, indexes, charts, maps, archeological digs, and etc.

How didi he cast doubt upon the text, as he held to an inerrant/infallible bible, correct?

Actually I am going to say something nice about Scofield which many dispensationalists will not like. Classic dispensationalism teaches that the Church was not revealed in the Old Testament. However, in the original Scofield bible in the intro to the Song of Solomon Scofield says that one possible interpretation of the Song is the love of Jesus Christ for the Church. Now that Intro has been removed from later editions since it is somewhat embarrassing what Ryrie calls the sine qua non of classic dispensationalism

Thompson was a Methodist and went on to serve under Pentecostal Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson at her L.I.F.E. Bible College:

One Bible however, is regarded with special interest not only by the visitors at the book room, but by the staff, students and workers, and this is Dr. Thompson's Chain-Reference Bible. Its compiler, Dr. Frank C. Thompson, is the dearly beloved Honorary Dean of the Bible School. To know this kindly man, to see his understanding and smiling countenance and to note his whitened hair, to hear his softly modulated voice, is to love him and to realize that his beautiful character has been formed and mellowed in the close companionship he has had with His Lord in the years he spent with the Bible, searching in its depths for the treasures he has found for the readers of his wonderfully helpful Reference Bible. Sister McPherson feels it is a privilege indeed, to know this "pillar of Methodism" in which term she often refers to Dr. Thompson. She says of his Reference Bible, "I regard it as the most helpful reference Bible on the market today. I cordially recommend it to all students."

From my understanding there are different scofield bibles, some of the newer editions change and mess with the original notes scofield put out.

ALL of those involved with the revisions like new Scofield 1967, were commited to Dispy theology, so any editing would have been for more progressive dispy theology, updating/refining it!

Given they removed Scofield's intro to the Song of Solomon I doubt they were Progressive Dispensationalists. According to Ryrie the progressives are rejecting one of the the sine qua non of classic dispensationalism which is two different peoples of God.

again, progressive dispy like myself see ONE people of God, jews and gentiles today saved by grave, by Jesus, and that it is ONLY when Church is raptured, THEN national isreal gets dealt with again, as under Holy Spirit move as He didi in OT times!

He accused the translators of error, throughout.
He often stated that the "oldest and best mss were not available" when, ....blah,blah, blah.
He didnt believe the AV was inerrant, that's for sure.

You obviously have a bias, or you wouldnt have asked that.

Since when did you start recommending Dispy Bibles, especially to your favorite posters?

It is a real experience looking inside a Dake Bible. If you look long enough you may find Scripture in the midst of the notes. Sort of like the Tale of the Ancient Mariner: Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink! I will leave it to your imagination to make the connection!

Fake was NOT giving any real biblical truth and understanding in His study notes, pity is many Charasmatics look as his notes as being almost another edition of sacred text!

I have known a few Baptists who look at Scofield's notes the same way!

I actually have a Dake's Annotated Study Bible. It's actually NOT that bad, imo. I like the greek/hebrew in the margin.
