Scofield Reference Bible & Cyrus I Scofield

[sheep wrecked]

A quickie brief overview from Wickipedia of LS Chafer, which throws up all kinds of red flags, in my opinion:

Quote:Chafer is widely recognized as one of the founders of modern Dispensationalism[5][6][7][8][9] and was vehemently opposed to covenant theology.[10] Strictly speaking, he was a premillennial, pretribulational dispensationalist. Other aspects of his overall theology could be generally described as rooted in aspects of the Plymouth Brethren, Calvinism, a mild form of Keswick Theology on Sanctification, and Presbyterianism, all of these tempered with a focus on spirituality based on simple Bible study and living.

Chafer's theology has been the subject of much study and debate in and out of the theological community since his death,[11][12][13] especially on the two larger topics of dispensationalism and Christian Zionism,[14] specifically that the Jews are a people called unto God with a separate historical purpose and plan from Christians.

LS Chafer founded the Dallas Theological Seminary, which is fast becoming known for it's contemplative position and quite enthralled with Richard Foster, the guru of the contemplative movement [mysticism and eastern religion's meditative prayer systems].

I was looking at a book that he wrote on satan - it's online. Shaking head, it's real doozie. From what I see, Chafer does a whole lot of conjecture and raises satan's position in Heaven way higher than the text says. Not only that, Chafer seems to think that satan has all this power on earth, which almost smacks of superiority to Christ, and that is in opposition to what we are told in Eph 2. I am not convinced that Chafer is Biblically theological.

You probably may want to review Chafer's stuff. Here is a link to help:
