Who or what is Scofield?

Scofield's Bible exists for one basic purpose

good post on dispensationalism. i grew up on it and bought everything hook, line, and sinker. its a method of interpretation that is way too sure of itself.

Men's opinions and their journey from opinion, through theory, then dressed by logic into philosophy and finally doctrinalized as superior to scripture is the most widespread error out there. Having a form of Godliness (look and feel without real substance) has been the default for nearly 2000 years as people try to convince themselves that by making a master of their philosophy somehow makes that philosophy the Christ. Christ isn't a philosophy of your making or anyone elses. Nor is the covenant of your making or that of any other man. God sent Christ and authored the covenant. If God had intended men's philosophies to stand as part of His covenant, they would have been written in by His will rather than spurned by His will.

There are many out there that have the look and sound of Christianity on the surface; but, as soon as you discuss some specific thing that betrays the philosophy they follow, the claws and fangs come forth. The mystery of iniquity has been posing its following as US - trying to look like us, sound like us and in the doing, pervert the message so that the truth is lost though a form be followed.
People understand that a thief may rob them by trying to sell them a paste for diamonds; but the thought that the Devil would do the same in order to mislead and at the same time make the followers think they do right just doesn't occur and is actually offensive. Ignorance knows no greater heights than that found in the Religiously wise and those who blindly put their faith in them rather than in God.

Grace and peace.
