Revelation Red Pill, Exposing the Rapture Origins, Edward Irving, John Darby, and CI Scofield Part 2 working notes

 These are my working notes that I am putting in this post for you to research on your own. 

CI Scofield 


Good summary of whole life. Fraud, lies, deception, abandoning his family. Actison

KS newspapers calling him a fraud, shyster, and scoundrol.

Racist in Scofield Reference- Southern Confederate View



Egotistically drenched in southern heritage, 

C.I. Scofield built a scholarly reputation by promoting an anti-black, anti-Catholic, pro-Jewish 

theology. 

Telling more than a few war stories, Dr. Scofield perpetuated the commonly held 

Plantation Myth that slave owners cared for an inferior race of people out of love. In the Life 

Story, Dr. Scofield described slavery as a “kind, patriarchal form” where “masters and mistresses 

loved one another.”

694 As if he had personal knowledge, Scofield said he recalled, “more than 

one Southern family mortgaged its land in order to continue to take care of its free but needy 

slaves.”695

 Rev. Scofield likely acquired his patriarchal view of blacks during his years in 

Dallas, Texas where the idea flourished among elite whites.696 This paternalistic view of society

was fundamental to the Lost Cause vision of the south and Scofield canonized the idea in The 

Scofield Reference Bible.

697

 With a view towards African Americans, Scofield explained in his 

reference Bible note on Genesis 9:25 that the “prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will 

descend an inferior and servile posterity.”698

 In the twentieth century United States, the inferior 

and servile race usually referred to African Americans. 

Dr. Scofield’s use of southern rhetoric on race begs the question of whether he relied 

more on the Confederate tradition or Oxford theologians to edit some his Bible notes.699

 While 

the view that the Bible somehow sanctioned black inequality did not originate with Cyrus

Scofield, he did marry the idea to his prophetic interpretations by pointing towards black 

servanthood as the will of God in his Bible annotations. I


related similar notions towards African Americans to Charles Trumbull who included the story 

as a “Confederate reminiscence which appeals to Scofield’s sense of humor.”700

 The story Dr. 

Scofield told involved a formal dinner that both he and Senator Roscoe Conkling attended during 

the Reconstruction years. Senator Conkling arrived late to the dinner after some political 

haranguing with Senator Charles Sumner from Massachusetts. In explaining his late arrival, 

Senator Conkling declared, “the senior Senator from Massachusetts [Sumner] has just been 

making his annual attempt to enact a law to abolish the distinction made by God Almighty 

between black and white.”701

 By characterizing the story as a Confederate recollection, Dr. 

Scofield left open the notion that he viewed Reconstruction as a futile endeavor since he seemed 

to believe the separation of the races was divinely ordained.

Scofield false teachings

History must read… perfect outline

son to introduce the millennial age, when Israel shall be restored to their own land,

and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord; and that this personal

and premillennial advent is the blessed hope set before us in the Gospel for

which we should be constantly looking: Luke 12:35-40; 17:26-30; 18:8;

Acts 15:14-17; 2 Thess. 2:3-8; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; Tit. 2:11-15.62
