4. The greatest reigning error of this century is his teaching that promises a millennial kingdom on the earth after Christ returns for his church. (cf. Ro 8:18-23.)

Strefanash:

I am at a complete loss to see how this passage refutes the notions of a millenial reign of the saints aftert the second coming.

As they say, a dead clock is right twice a day

I find it interesting that the millennial reign of Christ per Revelations is taken as literal, when most of Rev is viewed as allegorical. We need to think Spiritual, not physical because the rest of the NT does not indicate a "holding pattern" when Christ returns - not to mention Scofield's inaccurate statement concerning the church [pre-trib rapture]

I think people are unnecessarily hung up on this one point to the exclusion of the rest of scripture, in my opinion

The worst part is that Scofield is a false teacher and an ungodly man. That puts his spin on Scripture in a false light, regardless if you agree with a point or two. His expounding is based on a false premise, and therefore; the definition is skewed. That would be like Alister Crowley [satanist] interpreting Scripture
