Cyrus I. Scofield -- A "Christian" Disgrace!
In order to refute the Messiah's words concerning Esau-Edom -- that they were of their father the devil -- the theology of the day had to be changed so that YEHOVAH God is the father of all men and all peoples and Satan is not the father of any of them! The instigators reasoned -- quite correctly -- that America could not be converted from a republic to an international Socialist Democracy until the vast majority of churches could be taught that the church is not militant regarding the affairs of state, and that YEHOVAH's Laws, Statutes and Judgments were not valid as a means of governing a nation. |

The majority of churches today have large elements of preconditioning that have become traditions in the same way that the Scribes and Pharisees had their traditions in the time of the Messiah. The Messiah said these leaders were, “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition” (Mark 7:13).
In the Messiah’s day these traditions were almost universally held, and today we find the Western world in the grip of a similar grip of almost universal traditional teachings. The Scribes and Pharisees had their traditions written down as interpretations of the Old Testament, and were made by a long line of Rabbis who had sought to incorporate the teaching of the Babylonians into their interpretation of the Law and the Prophets.
Today we also have a similar situation, with an almost-universal interpretation of both Testaments that is taught in all major Bible Colleges, Seminaries and Churches. These have the same effect of, “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition”. What are incorporated here are the doctrines of humanism and universalism that are woven into the fabric of both Testaments of the Bible. Cyrus I. Scofield was used to set these beliefs into a written form that is known as the Schofield Bible, a version with copious footnotes. This version is still popular, particularly in the United States of America, with many thousands of church people using the notes.
These notes are now found in various forms in most Bible footnotes and in the copious notes found in “Life Application” and “Study” Bibles. They are also woven into versions such as the NIV (which is not a translation) and popular paraphrases such as the Living Bible. Because most churches use these, the notes influence almost every churchgoer to such an extent that they precondition what most people believe today. It could be put generally as, “This is what everyone believes”.
Before we look at Cyrus I. Scofield himself, we will consider whether or not the present situation exactly parallels what the false prophets taught in the Old Testament:
Jeremiah 4:13-15: “Then said I, Ah, LORD GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed."
The popular teaching suggests that, provided one “accepts Christ” or “chooses Christ”, that person will have a sweet ride to eternity. This teaching denies what the Messiah taught, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you”, and denies the fundamental basis of predestination and who the “elect” are. Jeremiah calls this teaching, “a thing of nought” and “a false vision and divination” -- and he goes on to describe a very bitter end for those who believe it.
Jeremiah blamed all this upon the source of the teaching that was being presented by the prophets and the priests. These teachings allowed wickedness and lawlessness to abound without rebuking it, just as churches do today. They do not believe in the necessity of faith being made perfect, as we read of Abraham, “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?” (James 2:22).
Jeremiah pointed out, “Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins”. Jeremiah makes it clear that this visitation by YEHOVAH God in judgment is because of practices contrary to the Law of YEHOVAH God. Today’s popular teaching declares that the Statutes and Judgments of the eternal Law of YEHOVAH God are now, “done away with”. The absolutes of the Bible are considered not relevant in this modern age.
So where did these false doctrines that most churches hold on to come from? Well, they are nothing new because the Apostles tell us that people who have no love for the truth “will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" (2 Timothy 4, 3 -- NASB). Peter puts it this way:
2 Peter 2:1: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you”.
The last phrase is about making money. The demand for Bibles remains high and there is money to be made from printing Bibles, with some new “version” (not translation) appearing each year. But who is it that is making all this money? We will see that it is the same group that used Cyrus I Scofield. This is the same group that has now controls the Bible printing houses!
It is too easy to say today’s popular doctrines came from Cyrus I Scofield himself, because he had powerful backing by influential organizations but, nevertheless, he was the front man for these. The group behind these organizations is that which now controls Western governments -- the media, entertainment and banking. That is, they control what people think and believe, and thus act.
So we had better look at the man himself to determine if he was a godly man, and also see something about who his backers (or controllers) were.
What follows below is taken from an email from the USA that makes no reference to who the author is.
C. I. Scofield
We will not zero in on a lot of men but only one man. He was one of the most famous ministers of the turn of the century in the USA -- Cyrus I. Scofield.
We will see how he defrauded his mother-in-law out her life savings and how he was convicted of forgery. In another case, he was sent off to prison. You will learn how he openly carried on with other women, and abandoned his wife and family. He never sent them a dime of support. When his wife finally divorced him he married the woman with whom he was living. All the time he was writing the now infamous notes to the Scofield Reference Bible. As a Christian he was a disgrace. As a man he lacked the ordinary chivalry of a gentlemen. He called himself "Dr." yet he never went to any college that could convey that degree. His life as a minister makes the recent escapades of some modern ministers pale into insignificance.
His financial support for the reference Bible came from Zionist and conspiratorial groups out of Boston Massachusetts -- chiefly known as the Secret Six. That group was tied to the order of the Illuminati and some other orders that some of you may know about.
Scofield was no Jeremiah. For certain he preached, but was not called. YEHOVAH God did not send him, so you know who did send him. His false doctrines have spread across this land like a plague -- like a smoke in the nostrils of our LORD, like a stench. And almost every Bible bookstore carries copies of Scofield's reference notes. The truth that I am talking about is one common thread throughout the remainder of the Bible.
In the forefront of this Scriptural error you will find the teachings and Bible references of C. I. Scofield, and this article is dedicated to the exposure of this man and the doctrines he preached and taught that have now taken over fundamentalist churches across the country.
Since the advent of conspiratorial theologians such as C. I. Scofield, and some lesser-known men before and after him, our brothers have never been weaned from the warm milk of the Word. They seem to be content to be coddled as if the word had only a personal thrust. And they have arrived. Oh! do they tell you they have arrived, taught a dozen different ways, and by as many different denominations -- including the Catholics and the Mormons. The other 85 percent of the Bible is either ignored or not understood and we are left with the darkness of a purely personal Gospel.
You can understand here now that I am talking to you as a warrior, a man to defend our country. Why would I be interested in Scofield from just that point of view? Because to promote this conspiracy to take over the country they must universalize the Bible, and make it apply to all men. So along come some false preachers like C. I. Scofield who begin to weave into it certain Jewish fables.
Thousands of so called Fundamentalist ministers carry or study the reference notes of the Scofield Bible. Many Protestant Bible school students use this Bible as their reference. They use it as their source as to what the scriptures really mean, as opposed to what they really say.
What these "Christian" people do not tell us is that their theological hero, C. I. Scofield, deserted his first wife, Leonteen Carry Scofield and his two young daughters Abigail and Helen. They ignore the fact that he never sent them any financial support -- even though he became very wealthy. They never got a dime. A woman in the 1880s did not have government welfare and good paying jobs were not usually available in those days. He treated his wife and children as though they did not exist.
According to every reference found about him and his background in the areas from which he came, it is clear that he was in love with two other women, running with both at the same time. One was a young lady from the St. Louis Flower Mission, whose name I have not yet been able to discover, and the other a Helen Van Wark -- a woman he later married after his wife, staying abandoned for many years, would not divorce him for Scriptural reasons. Finally, when she found out about his activities, she had no choice and divorced him. A copy of the divorce papers are available.
Finally Leonteen did sue for divorce, and that divorce is recorded Dec. 8, 1883, in his home town of Atchison Kansas. Remember now, this is a professing Christian, who wrote the most popular set of Bible reference notes in use today. The abandoned Leonteen never remarried, and died in 1936. She is buried in Mt. Calvary cemetery, Atchison Kansas.
You know, every time you see a Scofield Bible, think about that lady. After he was alleged to be saved Mr. Scofield, as a "Christian," entered a legal and political career during which time he stole thousands of dollars from his Christian and secular friends. One of his financial scams was quite serious and he got convicted of forgery and spent six months in the St. Louis, Missouri jail. He defrauded his mother-in-law of 1,300 dollars in gold and never paid her back -- even though his finances were such he could have done so.
If Ezekiel ever preached about a modern prophet who created a widow, or who was a deceiver of the elect, devouring the souls so they might not be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven and the tree of life, or who was out for dishonest gain, it had to be Cyrus Ingersall Scofield. Why are you carrying a Scofield Bible my friend? Why do you attend a church that teaches the lies of this convicted criminal and fornicator? Why would you want to admit your ignorance in such a way hereafter?
By 1800 Harvard college had a Unitarian theology department which was the first chair in the United States for this "God Loves Every man" doctrine. This first happened at Harvard which, as chance would have it, was the first theology college in the United States. The central idea is, of course, that YEHOVAH God loves every man. All men are equal. There are no chosen people.
Up to this time the great Puritan Christian work ethic had made America great. The doctrines of Calvin and Luther (although not perfect by any means) which formed and forged the pilgrim and puritan doctrines, and those men who came over here as covenanters, built up a great land they called the Kingdom. But the land they called the wilderness was now beginning to fade. It was now beginning to be replaced by a "New Gospel" not taught by Yeshua the Messiah, and the political and social life began to change right along with it.
America's political and social life, whether we like it or not, is based upon the general theology and therefore the moral outcome of her people. When the theology is gone the politics soon follow. During this period from around 1800 to 1850, there was a movement called the "Age of Reason" that caught a lot of men off guard who were otherwise smart -- including Thomas Paine. It contained a lot of the same ideas as today’s new age movement.
Here is the general theme of it. The mind is everything. The absolutes of the Bible are not considered relevant in this modern age. During this time such men as Thomas Paine, and a kin of mine, Ralph Waldo Emerson grew up in New England and, along with Henry David Thoreau, abandoned the Christian ideals and opted for this intellectually stimulating philosophy which can be distilled down to the phrase "the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." You have to determine in your own mind (from the Scriptures) if YEHOVAH God is the father of all and all men are brothers -- or if YEHOVAH God is the father of certain people and not the father of others.
All across this land fraternal lodges and various kinds of orders were set up which became the religion of the people. Into that area came the Esau-Edomite Karl Marx, and the evolutionist Charles Darwin, inserting their anti-Scriptural ideas into America's mainstream. All of these were first political, and philosophical ideas which, when promoted through the published materials of the day, became promoted enough and accepted enough by the normal people of those days to change the theology -- the thought theology of our people.
"The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man" is a socialist scheme. It came out of the French Revolution. It came out of the same group that gave us the Statue of Liberty, that world government lady standing on an isle rising out of the sea with seven horns on her head. Oh! I'm hurting your feelings. How do you think that got there? It stands for the legislative democracy of Washington D. C. and old Uncle Sam stands for the republic of the 50 states.
It was a thought theology with the purpose of changing our Christian population before the greater conspiracy of world socialism could be implemented. In order to refute the Messiah's words concerning Esau-Edom, that they were of their father the devil, this theology had to be changed so that YEHOVAH God is the father of all men and all peoples and Satan is not the father of any of them! Do you see how all that works? The second part of this theology is the idea that all men are brothers -- which is intended to refute the Scriptural teaching and truth that all men are NOT brothers and that YEHOVAH God has a chosen people, above all the people, on the face of the earth. This dichotomy you are going to have to sort out in your mind and choose YEHOVAH's Word or man's. If you think about it the concept of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is the central theme of socialism and communism. Christianity, if you think of it apart from merely a church function, is a thought theology of government, commerce and economics, the fruits of which is a nation of liberty and individual responsibility.
So, about a hundred and fifty years ago in Massachusetts, especially the small towns around Boston, began to be a spawning ground of this brotherhood of man, Fatherhood of God idea. It even got so popular it was expressed in Lincoln's' Gettysburg address. It was so important in the minds of these conspirators that every public school child had to be able recite that quote, "all men are created equal." Isn't that interesting? Isn't it loving? Isn't that a great humanist idea? Without apology that is NOT a scriptural idea! Anyone with an ounce of Scriptural understanding knows it just isn't so.
Out of this Massachusetts society came a man born in Middleton in 1833 -- named John J. Ingalls. He was a graduate of Williams College. He was a spokesman for a Boston Group known as the "Secret Six". Isn't it interesting they picked six? Mr. Ingalls was sent to Atchison Kansas, and it is enough to say right here that he associated himself with a young lawyer named Cyrus I Scofield.
Actually Scofield never attended any college, even for one day, as a student. Scofield however fancied himself as a lawyer. He assumed all sorts of phony credentials, from that of a minister to that of a Bible scholar, to that of a lawyer. Nothing seemed to hinder him. Through the influences of the Secret Six men in Kansas Scofield was admitted to the Bar even though he could not pass the examination. Though he had never attended any school, and had no formal training whatever, he gave himself a theological doctorate degree in the same fraudulent fashion.
Scofield went on, with the help of the Secret Six, to be appointed United States Attorney for Kansas -- only to be forced to resign after six months when he and his friend Ingalls were caught trying to blackmail the railroads out of some money. What is important here is that the Boston Secret Six assigned C. I. Scofield the task of translating the fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man concept into a system of Bible teaching.
It was in those long days and nights, when he was in prison for forgery, that Scofield began studying the theological philosophy of a born loser named J. N. Darby. J. N. Darby was a scatterbrained Englishman we would call a hippie today. He never washed, never cleaned himself up, but he became a great scholar. J. N. Darby was already doing in England what the Secret Six had assigned Scofield to do in the United States. He brought the Brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God into a new denomination -- the Brethren movement.
The Secret Six were not stupid. They had done their homework. They reasoned, quite correctly, that America could not be converted from a republic to an international Socialist Democracy until the vast majority of churches could be taught that the church should not be militant regarding the affairs of state and that YEHOVAH's Laws, Statutes and Judgments were not valid as a means of governing a nation. This didn't begin yesterday. They have been after this for a hundred years. It was necessary to subvert the first amendment of the constitution so that the church could offer no suggestion and be silent regarding the affairs of state. The effect of that was vital to every Christian in his way of life. It was quite a project for Mr. Scofield, since YEHOVAH God thought so much of righteous government that He devoted 80 percent or more of the Bible to that subject and made government one of the holy spirit's special gifts.
People ask me: "Do you have the gift of the holy spirit?" and I suppose they mean the gift of speaking in tongues. No, I got the first gift, skipped the second, got the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. What gifts do you have? Two for sure: the gift of government and gifts of health. Do you know that the gift of government and the gift of health are the only two Paul applied to every man? Does every man preach? No. Does every man evangelize? No. He didn't say that about Government and health because every man who is a Christian is supposed to do both. Look it up some time you will find it interesting.
Now with the Secret Six Scofield, and some of his associates, such as Dwight L. Moody, things were about to change. On July 23, 1901, Scofield confided in his friends the he intended to develop a reference Bible that would bring about "this new beginning and new testimony". Of course, such tremendous efforts takes a lot of money, and a lot of time. Scofield had the time and he needed the money. While he was talking like a Christian out of one side of his mouth, he was taking money and doing the bidding of his socialist communist friends of the Secret Six.
In 1901 the alleged offers of the Scofield reference notes -- which were not entirely written by him -- were admitted to the Lotus club in New York -- much to the embarrassment of his holier than thou Christian friends. It was restricted to "a social intercourse between journalists, artists, musicians, friends of literature, science, fine arts etc.". Scofield was, at this time, no more than a Kansas con man with no background in these particular fields, and a man with some highly placed friends. His reference notes had not been written yet, much less published so his qualifications for entrance into this group was of particular interest. This club's literature committee, which passed on "Dr. Scofield", was none other than Samuel Untermeier -- who was at that time a notorious criminal lawyer. Untermeier was, as his name suggests, one of those kinfolk of Esau-Edom, and his accomplishments on behalf of the Socialist Communists in America takes up two columns in Whose Who in America. Untermeier's thought theology -- as one might suppose -- would be far removed from that of a fundamental Bible believer.
No, Scofield was no such believer. It was directed by the Secret Six. To the Lotus club and their associate Samuel Untermeier, who saw to it he was admitted without credentials, Scofield was just a casual member they say, but listed it as his residence for 20 years while his wife languished in Kansas without any support. The purpose of Samuel Untermeier, and those associated with him, was to find a way to get fundamental Christians to have an interest in and support the international Zionist cause which had been one of Untermeiers life long projects. Samuel Untermeier died in 1941 but records I have in my office prove beyond a shadow of a doubt he was a dedicated Communist all the time. They prove he worked for Communist causes all of his adult life. In the 20 years of membership in the Lotus club Scofield had a long association with him and had to know about his un-Christian activities and his synagogue of Satan.
Each of you need to always keep in mind that the Brotherhood of God, the Brethren Movement -- and its kindred of thought theology of Scofield Dispensationalism -- was, and still is, a class movement as considered from the Communist point of view. It's not a religious movement as you might think.
One of the Roman Catholic counterparts also supported by the Esau-Edomite kindred, is the Jesuit and Maryknoll liberation theology now sweeping Central America.
This is the very reason for the special and unusual association between Scofield and Samuel Untermeier. They knew that Scofield's "any moment now" rapture doctrine, which he stole from J. N. Darby -- and Darby stole it from a female Pentecostal preacher in Scotland named Martha Mcdonald -- who in turn stole it from a Spanish Jesuit Priest named Emanuel LaContsa who made it up and then published it first in Spanish under the pen name Rabbi Ben Ezra. The works of Rabbi Ben Ezra are still sold openly in Christian book stores. So you can see that it all ties together.
This was an idea they had to keep the lower and middle class Christians in line, they said. Why would Christians become concerned if the Communists took over the world, or the so-called New World Order took effect, if they believed the rapture could happen at any time now? Why would they become worried about the thousands of problems of totalitarianism Socialism, world banking, national debt, AIDS, etc., if "this world is not my home" according to C. I. Scofield's doctrines. Why engage in patriotic activities when the kingdom is a warm beating in your heart as you come "to love Jesus"? See how that works? Proverbs 3:36 says "add thou not to his words lest he reprove you and you be found a liar." Well, Mr. Scofield, you have been found a liar. Some of us have done our homework regarding you.
With the many ministers of the 1920s and 1930s busy preaching Scofield's Dispensationalism -- in his words, the "new testimony" -- it became common but was unheard of 100 years ago. The push was on in the late 1930s to get the Scofield Reference Bible into the hands of Protestant denominations. Scofield notes, stating right on the pages of King James Bible that "the Jews are all of Israel", was to set the stage for the theft of Palestine from the Palestinian people and give it, by United Nations decree, to a mixed multitude most of whose forbear had never set foot in the land for a thousand years -- if ever! For those reasons alone, Scofield's notes were worth every penny that Samuel Untermeier and his Secret Six friends paid for them. It is not so much that Scofield preached another Gospel, which I differ with, that makes me so angry. He is not the only man to have done so, and students of the Bible can quickly point out their false doctrines as I have done. With "every man can be saved" Scofield doctrine I resent Scofield using YEHOVAH's Word as an active and willing subversive to cause Christian liberty to fall. His doctrines and reference notes -- prepared with Jewish funding -- has neutered the church to the point where they are indifferent to what is happening in America. Some of you have yet to outgrow that indifference to where you take an active stand and do something about it.
The fact, is the more churches we have gotten over the past half-century, the more wicked and Socialist the nation has become! Scofield's "new testimony" has been the leading cause for the fall of Western civilization. It has altered the Christian and his theology to the point of indifference to what is happening in his country. He is not concerned about but generally approves of the fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man ideas promoted by thousands of hours of television entertainment and programming. He is happy to watch biracial situation comedies and movie specials promoting interracial marriages which YEHOVAH God has forbidden!
The great loss we have is that many of our Christian people will not be party to the victory that YEHOVAH's Kingdom extends to us. So when you see Scofield's Bible being carried by someone you might want to ask them, "Why are you carrying the Bible of a convicted felon, thief and fornicator who left his wife behind and went off with other women? Can a wicked tree bring forth good fruit? It cannot."
Relating to Some of the Issues About Kansas
Here is more early data on what prompted the interest in Kansas related in one of Nord Davis Jr. booklets. It is a most revealing issue that focused upon the deviant, C. I. Schofield, a true reprobate…This bit of history may figure into what you also experienced.
Qoting, beginning at page 22:
“Massachusetts, and most specifically, those towns around Boston, became the spawning ground for this 'brotherhood of man' Thought-Theology. Gone is the theological-political idea of 'We, the people of the United States…and to our posterity (Kindred).' The new political and theological idea was expressed in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and memorized by every student in the public schools: '…that ALL MEN are created equal.' Isn’t that an interesting, loving and humanist idea? Without apology, it is not a Scriptual concept. A point of fact, its is an anti-Christian and non-Biblical as any concept could be.
"Out of this Massachusetts environment came a man born in Middleton, Massachusetts in 1833 named John J. Ingalls. He was a graduate of Williams College and well permeated with the Sadducean Leaven, for he became a lawyer. Ingalls was sent by his Massachusetts associates, known by students of the Conspiracy as 'The Secret Six', to the town of Atchison, Kansas.
"It is enough for this study to state that as a result of the activities of the henchmen of the Boston 'Secret Six' that Kansas was known as 'Bleeding Kansas.' It was with attorney John Ingram, and the henchmen of the 'Secret Six' that the young lawyer, Cyrus I. Scofield, was found in association. Through the influences of the powerful 'Secret Six' men in Kansas, C. I. Scofield was admitted to the Bar without so much as a day in law school! As far as I can determine, C. I. Scofield never spent a day in any college as a student, in spite of his alleged Doctorate degree.
"Scofield went on, with the political help of the 'brotherhood of man' Secret Six people to be appointed United States District Attorney for Kansas, only to be forced to resign some six months later when the newspapers carried the story that he and Ingalls had taken blackmail money form the railroads. I will not continue with all the sordid details of C. I. Schofield’s criminal activities and his ultimate conviction for forgery, or with the abandonment of his wife and children to later marry another lady named Hettie. What is vitally important to this study, and the dramatic shift tin fundamental Christian theology, is that it was given to the attorney C. I. Scofield the task of translating the 'brotherhood of man' concepts into a system of Biblical teachings.
"It is alleged by Christian sources today, that C. I. Scofield was converted in 1879 while in prison for his forgery conviction. He never went back and made his 'crooked ways straight.' He never sent a dime of support to his children. He never went back and paid his debts, for as a lawyer he once stated that his debts were void because of the Statute of Limitations. It was during this period that he took up the unscholarly ideas of a theological loser -- in these times we would identify him as a hippy -- one J. N. Darby (England) who started the Brethren Movement. Do you see the link between this 'brotherhood of man' and the title of a new denomination called 'The Brethren Movement'?
"According to the plans of the 'Secret Six', America could not be converted to International Socialism until the vast Christian majority could be changed to where the church was no longer militant regarding the affairs of State, and God’s Laws, Statutes and Judgments set forth in Scripture as the Godly means of running a nation. It was necessary to subvert the true meaning of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution to mean that the Church was to have no instructions, and to be silent regarding these affairs of state that affect in a vital way every Christian and his way of life.
"The Bible devotes about 80% of its teachings to matters of governments, and the Holy Spirit lists governments among the Gifts. (1 Cor. 12:28) Now, with Scofield, and some of his contemporaries, such as Dwight L. Moody and Arno Clemens Gaebelein, that was going to change. Exactly 88 years ago, July 23, 1901, Scofield confided in his friends that he intended to develop a 'Reference Bible' and bring about this 'new beginning and new testimony.' Of course, such tremendous efforts cost money and a lot of time. While he was talking with Christians out of one side of his mouth, C. I. Schofield was doing the bidding of his associates among the 'Secret Six.'
"In 1901, the alleged author of the Scofield Bible References was admitted into the Lotos Club of New York City. The stated purpose in the club’s Constitution, Article 1, Section II, states that it is to '…promote social intercourse among journalists, artists, members of the musical and dramatic professions,…friends of Literature, Science and the Fine Arts…'
"C. I. Scofield, at that time, had no literary output to speak of, no background in Fine Arts, Science, though professionally as a lawyer, he was involved in acting. But, in theory, Scofield would not qualify for membership. Was someone anticipating his literary output and thus setting the stage for favorable reviews by his journalist comrades? This club’s literary committee, which passed on 'Dr.' C.I. Scofield, had among its members, one Samuel Untermeyer, at that time the notorious criminal lawyer. Untermeyer’s accomplishments for socialist and communist causes take up two columns in 'Who’s Who in America'. Untermeyer’s Thought-Theology and his lifestyle would be far removed from that of a fundamental Bible-believing person. No, my friends, Scofield was not such believer! He was directed by the 'Secret Six' to the Lotos Club, and their associate, Samuel Untermeyer saw to it that he was admitted without credentials. Scofield was not simply a casual member, but listed the Lotos Club as his residence, and remained a member until his death in 1921.
"The purpose of Samuel Untermeyer and those associated with him, had to find a way to get Fundamentalist Christians into an international interest in the Zionist Movement, which was one of Untermeyer’s life-long projects. Samuel Untermeyer died in 1941, but the records I have in my office regarding him prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was a Communist and worked for Communist causes all his adult life. Schofield’s Reference Bible was simply one of these objectives. In twenty years of membership in the Lotos Club, Scofield had to have known what was going on with Untermeyer, and his synagogue of Satan.
"I do not have a listing of Untermeyer’s early Communist activities, but he was a member of the Communist, Emergency Committee for Strikers Relief, led by Communist Albert Weisbord, and funded by the Communist Garland Fund, for teaching textile strikers 'the first lessons in revolution.' Of course, he was involved with the pro-communist American Civil Liberties Union.
"The famous Bible teacher, A. C. Gaebelein, knew of Scofield’s membership in the Lotos Club but they kept silent about it to their fellow Fundamentalists. Gaebelein, in boasting of his friendship with the protestant pope, Scofield, published the Scofield letter of 1905 to him on the Lotos Club stationary in Moody Monthly in 1942, but of course the significance of the Lotos Club was not told to the Moody readers.
"What the reader of this article needs to always keep in mind is this: 'Brethrenism' in England and its kin theology of Scofield 'Dispensationalism' was and is a Class Movement, not so much a religious movement! That is the very reason for the unusual association between Scofield and Samuel Untermeyer. The 'Betters,' the 'Rich' and the 'Proper Ones' knew that Scofield’s 'any moment, now rapture' would be a good idea to keep the lower and middle class Christians in line.
"They would be like sheep, and not upset the social and economic 'apple cart' while they were expecting the 'any-moment Rapture.' Why would Christian Americans be interested in the affairs of State if they could be tricked into believing that 'the world was not their home' and that the Kingdom was that warmth felt beating in their breast?
"It was not until late in the 1930s that the big push was on to get the Scofield Reference Bible into the hands of the majority of Protestant denominations. Schofield’s References to the Jews being 'All of Israel,' had to set the stage for the theft of Palestine from the Palestine people and give it by United Nations Directive to a people whose forefathers for the most part, had never walked on the soil of that defiled land.
"Scofield’s References have been worth every penny that the folks at Lotos Club and from Boston’s 'Secret Six' descendants paid for them. Scofield traveled the world, living in Switzerland, England, New Hampshire, and Texas on someone’s money, and it was not from his rather small First Congregational Church of Dallas, Texas. People who were well versed in international travel and finding accommodations, worked out his schedules for him, while Scofield, the pampered prophet, worked on his Notes. No hurry to be finished with such a good thing.
"Informed patriots know all too well the role that England’s Oxford University has played in the promotion and spreading of Fabian socialism around the world. No student can graduate from that institution without demonstrating in his courses and all his thesis, that he is a confirmed socialist. It has been this way, for more than 100 years. Now, of all the places in the world to publish the New Scofield Reference Bible, where to you suppose that C. I. Scofield would go to have it printed? We have any number of Bible publishing houses right here in America. Well, you guessed it, Scofield made his publishing contract with the Fabian socialist Oxford University Press!
"Scofield, who in all his life had only published one small book titled, as one might expect, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, and a few other pamphlets, suddenly had entrance to the most prestigious and exclusive publishing houses of the world! My friends, who was clearing the way for a relatively unknown Texas minister, who made up his Doctorate credentials, to such publishing heights? Who else but the synagogue of Satan. In a letter to his daughter Helene, one of the girls he left behind years before, he bragged that he was giving large lectures at the Carnegie Institute.
"Patriots who have done their homework on the Council on Foreign Relations, know the subversive part that the Foundations like Carnegie play in international socialism. Scofield, as with every thing he ever did in his life, and believe me I have read it, talked out of both sides of his mouth. It is not that Scofield preached 'another gospel' and one I differ with, but he was an active subversive to the church to where they are indifferent to what is happening in America. As I printed on the cover over his picture, Scofield is 'two fold the child of hell…' as the Esau-Edomites who were happy to financially sponsor his theological concepts and to deceive the very Elect by putting his false doctrines right on the same pages as the Holy Writ are.
"In the frontier days of the forefathers in the USA, the average family may have seen a circuit-rider preacher once or twice a year, so was confined to his own personal study of the Bible all the rest of the time. He was not entertained by shows on a church platform. He was not constantly bombarded with the 'brotherhood of man,' propaganda on the television. He was not entertained by bi-racial situation comedies night after night. His news did not contain a Thought-Theology against discrimination, a word, incidentally, that is used exactly opposite from its meaning! His lifestyle and his Thought-Theology centered on the teachings of the Bible, and when national issues arose demanding his attention, he knew the correct Bible answers to these matters, and in the Name of Christ, carried them out!
"Today, by age 15, the average youth in America has watched 50,000 hours of humanist, socialist, and anti-Biblical ideas portrayed as truth. They are being told by both television and the pulpit, that America is great because of its Judeo-Christian heritage! Look about you and see if you can think of one basically Jewish philosophy or cultural concept that has shaped our American liberty. Look at their State of Israeli, a network of communes and a military government that is at war with all its neighbors. Is that what you would like to see for America, or anywhere else in the Western world?
"The major problem with America and elsewhere today is not political or economic. It is theological! America was once a Christian Land, and YEHOVAH God Almighty blessed us above every nation on earth in material wealth and military power to defend ourselves. We were a nation that never lost a war, where you could walk the streets without fear, and in which murderers were executed. We were a nation that understood the Biblical issues of races and kindred, and did not permit the heathen to vote themselves welfare from the common treasury or put over us, anti-Christ Zionist rulers who have now worked the way into a dominion that will be short-lived." (End quoting from Nord Davis Jr.)
There is much confusion about the so-called “return” of the self-styled Jews to Palestine. It stems from those misguided interpretations of the Bible that Scofield was instrumental in promoting -- the false idea of being transported off into space to sit in armchairs in heaven, watching events unfold on earth, and the prophetic idea that a third temple will be built before the Messiah appears and that the ashes of a red heifer would be an antidote for sin. These deceptive views simply confirm that the cleverness of Esau/Edom has been at work, and is yet!
