Scofield Bible creates pro-Zionist Christian ‘zombies’
“Cyrus Scofield corrupted the Biblical message and produced a propaganda classic that has been working its evil for 100 years… The idea was to change the Christian view of Zionism by creating and promoting a pro-Zionist sub-culture within Christianity…”
“Never mind what Israel does, say the Christian Zionists. God wants this to happen… Anything, including lies, theft, even murder, is justified as long as Israel wants it.”
I find the very idea of “Christian Zionism” both irrational and disturbing.
Either Jesus Christ was the “true Messiah” and the Jews are losers who missed the boat, or the Christians are a heretical sect of Judaism following a “false Messiah”. There is no in-between.
And if Christianity is the valid religion, then the Jews lost their Covenant with God by default, and are no longer the “Chosen People”.
I have always been amazed that otherwise honest and decent people could be so wickedly stupid, and in my opinion, the Scofield Bible is a very significant part of the cause of this bizarre phenomenon.

Grace Halsell: De-bunker of Christian Zionist Doctrine

Not long ago I quoted American journalist Grace Halsell in an article about the damaging influence of the Scofield Bible, not realising how sorely she was made to suffer for setting out the truth.
That article, ‘The Zionist cuckoos in Christianity’s nest’, showed how Cyrus Scofield corrupted the Biblical message and produced a propaganda classic that has been working its evil for 100 years.
Scofield, a convicted criminal and described by one American newspaper as “a shyster”, was commissioned to re-write the King James Bible by inserting Zionist-friendly notes. The idea was to change the Christian view of Zionism by creating and promoting a pro-Zionist sub-culture within Christianity. The Oxford University Press appointed Scofield as editor, and the Scofield Reference Bible was born.
It introduced a new worship icon, the modern State of Israel, which did not exist until 1948 but was already being ‘prepped’ on the drawing board of the World Zionist movement.
It appealed to the impressionable and was seized on by religious chancers who have used inappropriate methods to establish a large and dangerously un-Christian fringe to the Christianity movement. They call themselves Christian Zionists.
Here is how Grace Halsell explained the re-hashed Biblical message: “Simply stated it is this: Every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us. Never mind what Israel does, say the Christian Zionists. God wants this to happen…
“Scofield said that Christ cannot return to earth until certain events occur: The Jews must return to Palestine, gain control of Jerusalem and rebuild a temple, and then we all must engage in the final, great battle called Armageddon. Estimates vary, but most students of Armageddon theology agree that as a result of these relatively recent interpretations of Biblical scripture, 10 to 40 million Americans believe Palestine is God’s chosen lread on...and for the Jews.”

The problem, she said, was the belief system of Christian Zionists. “They believe that what Israel wants is what God wants. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to give the green light to whatever it is Israel wants and then conceal this from the American people. Anything, including lies, theft, even murder, is justified as long as Israel wants it.”
Those pseudo-Christians, who would have us all believe that God is some kind of racist real estate agent, thereafter made her life a misery.
