The Scofield Bible and Israel

🕰️ This was recorded in early 2024.

Why do millions of Christians believe that Jews are God's chosen people and Israel is God's chosen land?

Well, over a century ago, he spread the idea of biblical dispensationalism—a false doctrine—through a variation of the Bible called the Scofield Reference Bible. It was really just republications of standard Bible translations but with added footnotes on each page.

Many Bibles today still use the Scofield footnotes, knowingly or unknowingly.

In short, Jews aren’t God’s chosen people, nor is Israel His chosen land—a false doctrine gripping evangelical Christians and Jews alike, driving the former to blindly champion Jews and modern Israel.

Stephen Sizer is a theologian and author with quite a lengthy biography and he joined me on my podcast to chat about the dangerous influence of Scofield (including who he was and who he worked with).
