The entirety of what I don't know "could stun a team of oxen" (a line from one of my fav shows) lol
So yesterday, I heard a clip of Candace Owens spouting off against what Ted Cruz said in the Carlson interview and she kept mentioning this S word. She talks so fast I couldn't figure it out right then, but I searched online until I found what she was talking about: the Scofield Bible. Had I only waited a day....
Thank you so much for this information, Mr. Far Side. At my advanced age, one would think I have some wisdom. I checked my pockets and nothing but lint...
Wisdom is not based on knowledge of facts, but on discernment of truth. In that regard, I believe your pockets are overflowing.
I don't listen to many commentators, and Candace hasn't been on my radar in quite some time. I did notice that Mark Dice's latest post went into some detail on Scofield, sounding almost as if he had read my piece. These things always seem to come in waves. It's a strange phenomenon that I've seen repeated so many times. I don't know if a subconscious seed starts the process, or if groups of people pick up the same idea from the Universal Mind.
Jayzus fookin' Christ! First the damn Puritans come from England and infect New England and New York with their know-it-all elitist bullshit. And then dispensationalism (Rapture Madness) come into America from the UK. We get Prohibition, the drug war, regulations, and the bureaucracy, and now this Rapture-Israel crap.
There is a church just up the street from our house that teaches this Rapture Crap (in Spanish).
It's getting to the point that I don't trust anyone from New York, New England, or who is Jewish.
Don't forget Blue Laws and a bunch of crispy witches, too. The Brits have been screwing up North America for a long time. To be fair though, the Dutch screwed up New York before the Limeys got to it. And I've never trusted Yankees. That was bred into me.
Thanks to the Dallas seminary, Texas is a hotbed of Scofieldian rapturism. Then along came TeeVee and let these nutjobs loose on the world. They've infected Asia, too. Fortunately, Indonesia doesn't recognize Israel, so the mind virus can't infect local politics (yet).
Jim was a typical smarmy preacher con, but Tammy Faye was absolutely priceless. She even managed to carry on the "ministry" after Jim was disgraced, probably because like you, no one could figure out how she opened her eyes at all.
Dallas used to be a textile and fashion center, and us real Texians didn't take to that kind of stuff. Foat Wuth and Euston were ranching and farming, and later Ole (petroleum). Euston started buying culture to outpace Dallas, and a civil war was born. Euston won, by the way. :)
I don't consider myself a Southerner. Texas was allied with the Confederacy, but it had voted to break from the Union and become a sovereign nation again. There's a whole 'nuther story there.
Side note: I attended my son's graduation at Univ of Texas some years ago. They did not play the Star Spangled Banner, but rather, The Eyes of Texas. The whole affair felt like Texit had already achieved it's goal.
"The Eyes of Texas"? Not the national anthem (Texas Our Texas)? That must have been before the Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas flag was instituted. Keep in mind that the last time independence went to a public vote in 1860, it was endorsed by 3/4 of the voters. I imagine it would get similar support today.
That's about the time I was active in the separatist movement. Those were heady days. If you got both Eyes and TOT, then you received a special benediction that will shave decades off your stay in Purgatory. :)
"Yankee" is an old expression from the Civil War Days (or even before). It referred to the rich industrialists of Puritan descent in New England and New York. Bankers, textile mill owners, especially, and other factory owners. These bastards think they know more than us peons. They also wanted to break the power of the South over the Presidency (most Presidents were Southerners until Lincoln).
So, the Yankees put through the Morrill Tariff Act which taxed the southern states at at a much higher rate than the northern ones.
If the South hadn't seceded, they would have eventually gone broke paying these high tariffs for European goods, while the taxes supported the Yankees.
Those Yankee bastids also forced the South to sell raw materials to them at cheap prices, instead of to Europe for much higher prices. It was the blockades that eventually led to the shootin', not slavery. In fact, slave markets still operated on Wall Street long after the war ended. The Yankees didn't care much about abolition, either. That's why us true blues call it the War of Northern Aggression, because it certainly wasn't civil.
I have to hand it to you. You produce some relevant information that cannot be found anywhere else. Obviously, I was aware of Mr. Scofield and his mendacious bible, but I did not know all the details. Clearly, it is a Jewish attempt to undermine the Bible, in particular the New Testament, and it has worked in the US. The Jews are now in control of Christianity in the USA. I outlined in some of my previous comments how the Jewish "Religion" came about and what its objectives were. On this occasion I should like to emphasise again that people must not take the Old Testament at its face value because it is a collection of Jewish lies, fables and wishful thinking. This was already highlighted by Douglas Reed in his authoritative book "The Controversy of Zion". As I do not wish to go into too much detail on this occasion I would recommend that people ignore the Old Testament and only follow the message of the New Testament.
A certain breed of fox will take a stick in its mouth and submerge itself in water until just its nose and the stick are above water. All the fleas and ticks will climb onto the stick, which the fox then releases and swims away from. That is what Britain did with Palestine and the Kazazian agitators within its borders. In fact, after WW1, there was also a "6 million dead" narradigm in order to spark Zionism and mass migration. It finally took after WW2, but it may have gotten a bit out of hand.
In any case, the Old Testament is a mish-mash of Sumerian and Babylonian myths and legends, rewritten and edited over centuries to support a monotheistic narradigm (and David's theocracy) rather than the story of a older civilization called the El, of whom YHWH was a particularly nasty member. Thus, we have John 8-44 ff, where Jesus shares his thoughts on YHWH and his cult.
The history of Zionism in the US broken down in simple terms. Thank you! You’re right, it is a Republican thing. I have friends and family, also Catholic, who have been infected by Zionist teachings, minus the Rapture. However, many Catholics are absorbed in beliefs like “the Three Days of Darkness” which is a prophecy by those thought to have “personal visions and messages”, though not in any way taught or accepted by the institutional church. Apparently many can’t accept that Jesus Christ gave us the whole message while he was here. It’s as simple and as wonderful as that!
Catholics are somewhat immune to the Zionist message, because the theology is quite different from the various Protestant sects, though some Darby-ist nonsense has infiltrated through "Evangelical Catholicism".
Similarly, WASP Republicans seem to be the most infected, but there is significant leakage into the Democrats, and other demographic sectors. The Scofield narradigm seems to have become part of the American worldview, in whole or in part. Even among non-religious types, the concept of a Second Coming is well known and oft repeated as Gospel Truth.
Hopefully, events since 7 October are slowly disabusing folks of the Great Error, or at least encouraging second thoughts.
I've heard of this Scofield version but never the history. It ties in with Barbara Tuchman who wrote a good book on the Pro-Zionistic English Protestant influence.
So once again, I get to re-write a self deleted post. not sure how that keeps happening.
I have been hearing a lot about this Scofield Bible stuff lately, and find it strange that I wasn't at all familiar with it before. Strange because I was raised up in a staunch Baptist (american) family, and spent 4 years at that little Baptist (southern) college on the banks of the Brazos. Maybe I did cut too many classes?? Any way, I have been familiar with the great zionist con for years now, and suspect that the big guy tore up any and all contracts he might have made with those Hebrew folks long ago cause they just could abide by a few simple rules. Then he sent a son along to tell every one that Dad was really pissed at the way they have been acting, and that there was only one rule (commandment) worth living by, and to get with the program. Unfortunately, that rule never has made the front page, and I suspect we all might be about to find out that the big guy really did mean it. Serious waste of 2000 years of human history that could have resulted in great things rather than war after war after war. OH well, there might be another opportunity to give peace (and love) a chance--we can only hope.
You may not have been aware of Scofield, but I'll bet you were told that Israel is an integral part of prophesy, that the Third Temple has to be built for the End Times judgement to occur, and that the Anti-Christ is some human figure who deceives the world, and that it all is yet to happen.
In reality, the great revealing occurred in AD70, with the sacking of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the Judaeans (Jews who went on to form Islam in Arabia). The Resurrection was the raising of the Third Temple, and the Second Coming was Pentecost, and experiences like the one described by Saul/Paul (a spiritual, not literal event). In other words, it's all over long ago if you believe the New Testament.
Of course, all religions have their apocalypses--Christians, Muslims, Israelis, Buddhism, Jainism, etc. In a broad interpretation, they are all metaphors for death and the end of physical life. Too many folks are confusing symbolic and metaphorical concepts with reality.
The susceptibility of human belief and its desire to find an answer for the unknown,(life after death) no matter how magical, or additional
fairy dust is added to soothe this transition it will only be acceptable as long as I and my flock gain immortality. Obstination to this degree is easily manipulated, subtly, incrementally over time. Obviously Darby and Scofield have had a prophetic effect on southern Christianity, whether by chance or design the results are repugnant. I myself have never been back to a church since I couldn’t go swimming, but it is challenging to wonder,
Being raised Catholic, I was somewhat immune to the Scofield madness, but it infuses so much of American worldview. The Dispensationalist view of prophesy has been so thoroughly infiltrated into Christianity that it's hard for many folks to separate it from more classical and much older interpretations. The televangelists are a major part of it.
I married a catholic and my children are baptized- catholic. Funny that I will be denied my place in heaven for not being baptized. Great Irony, if you get my drift.

I prefer the latter.

Tammy and Jimmy Baker were quite a show. "I have sinned."
I actually miss them. I am hard pressed to think of any better comedy in those years. The waterworks and coon eyes were just classic!
I don't know how she could even open her eyelids, with all that makeup. But they sure had a following...
Jim was a typical smarmy preacher con, but Tammy Faye was absolutely priceless. She even managed to carry on the "ministry" after Jim was disgraced, probably because like you, no one could figure out how she opened her eyes at all.
Theoretically I’m a yankee, born in Berlin, NH. “LIVE FREE OR DIE”
I was raised to consider anyone born north of Dallas as a Yankee, but no worries! Everyone is welcome here, regardless of handicap. :)
New Hampshire doesn't count as Yankee lol.
So that's what's wrong with Dallas! Big rivalry between Houston and Dallas.
Dallas used to be a textile and fashion center, and us real Texians didn't take to that kind of stuff. Foat Wuth and Euston were ranching and farming, and later Ole (petroleum). Euston started buying culture to outpace Dallas, and a civil war was born. Euston won, by the way. :)
To be quite honest I would never have considered myself a yankee. “ when Johnny comes marching home” still lingers and I can still whistle that tune.
I don't consider myself a Southerner. Texas was allied with the Confederacy, but it had voted to break from the Union and become a sovereign nation again. There's a whole 'nuther story there.
Never understood why we became a state.
Side note: I attended my son's graduation at Univ of Texas some years ago. They did not play the Star Spangled Banner, but rather, The Eyes of Texas. The whole affair felt like Texit had already achieved it's goal.

I think they played Texas our Texas, too. That was 2 decades ago, so I slightly disremember all the details 😟
That's about the time I was active in the separatist movement. Those were heady days. If you got both Eyes and TOT, then you received a special benediction that will shave decades off your stay in Purgatory. :)

That is why the South seceded.
Damn Yankees haven't changed a bit.

Gotta hand it to tou, mate. When tou drill one, ir stays drilled. Good work.

Rubbish.
My debate skills are a bit rusty, but I shall endeavor to rebut your comment with the same profound and insightful prose:
No, it isn't.
I've heard of this Scofield version but never the history. It ties in with Barbara Tuchman who wrote a good book on the Pro-Zionistic English Protestant influence.
I've been meaning to read Tuchman's book "Bible and Sword" for a long time. Here's the link for anyone interested:

I’m speechless, you have humbled my selfish self.
Don't worry, you'll just spend eternity in limbo with the unbaptized babies. :) Maybe a few extra centuries in purgatory will clear that up.
