You are right. Scofield is nonsense.

This from Matthew 21:

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

‘The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone.

This was the Lord’s doing,

And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.

Emphasis v. 43: The kingdom is taken from you.

That temple will never be rebuilt, and there is a mosque in its place to make that clear.

I'm currently doing a class on Revelation. I take a more preterist view of Revelation. There is an older man who brings his huge Scofield Bible to class. After every point I make he wants to read his notes from Scofield. Scofield's notes are taken as Scripture by too many.

That is why I don't like "study Bibles." Too easy to read the comments instead of doing legitimate research.

The rapture theory serves to make believers complacent because they are "saved" and will be "raptured" from "the tribulation."

We are not challenged to follow Jesus to the cross, but rather encouraged to believe that because Jesus went to the cross we somehow deserve a get-out-of-hell-free card. The ultimate goal of Christianity has become "going to heaven when I die." Complete selfishness and complete nonsense.

And then there is the liberal wing of the church that doesn't stand for anything anymore except the new world order liberal nonsense.

I am a pastor sick and tired of the hypocrisy and nonsense and I am about to make a career change.

Jesus wanted nothing to do with the hypocrite Pharisees. Though he agreed more closely with them doctrinally it was their hypocrisy he despised, and he took every opportunity to let them know it.
