“I own a couple of copies (of the book, Who is Israel?) already, with plans to send them to other pastors, and within my own association. I have already placed this book in a pastor’s hands right here in my own home town. I think it behooves all of us, to spread this word, and guess what, it even checks out with what the Bible says. That would be the King James, of course. We have already cleaned our house, and a couple of Bibles had to go.” – Ron Kukal, USS Liberty survivor
Most Americans have never even heard of the USS Liberty — let alone know what happened to her and her crew… But, once you have, your American blood will begin to boil!!!
Pastor & Author, Matt Furse, with USS Liberty survivor, Ronald G. Kukal. (Fall 2018)
Dear Sir:
“I am a survivor of the deliberate attack on the USS Liberty, June 8, 1967 during the Six Day War. I think dual citizenship has a lot to do with the reason that the surviving crew cannot get the U.S. Government to look at our “War Crimes Report”. This is an act by the Israeli Defense Force that has never been investigated by Congress. There was a Naval Board of Inquiry and it was found by that board that the attack was an accident. If you will look on the USS LIberty web site you will find that former Captain Ward Boston who was the counsel for the board has made a statement that he was forced to make the outcome appear to be an accident and that Robert McNamara and LBJ forced him into doing just that. We have not been able to get even a Congressional Investigation into this attack because we are being stopped by those in our government with what I believe to have dual citizenship. Having a high position in our government and maintaining dual citizenship is wrong, and no one should be allowed to do this if they can’t give their complete loyality to one country.”

NOT simply “4 Killed” by “mistake” — 34 were Murdered, and over 170 were wounded!!!
It is truly astonishing to see many “KJV only” preachers continue to use a Scofield Reference Bible, and to defend his notes & doctrines…
Here is “Point XI” of the Introduction to the Scofield Reference Bible—
XI. “After mature reflection it was determined to use the Authorized Version. None of the many Revisions have commended themselves to the people at large. The Revised Version, which has now been before the public for twenty-seven years, gives no indication of becoming in any general sense the people’s Bible of the English-speaking world. The discovery of the Sinaitic MS. and the labours in the field of textual criticism of such scholars as Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf, Tregelles, Winer, Alford, and Westcott and Hort, have cleared the Greek textus receptus of minor inaccuracies, while confirming in a remarkable degree the general accuracy of the Authorized Version of that text. Such emendations of the text as scholarship demands have been placed in the margins of this edition, which therefore combines the dignity, the high religious value, the tender associations of the past, the literary beauty and remarkable general accuracy of the Authorized Version, with the results of the best textual scholarship.”
– C.I. Scofield (January 1, 1909)
{ Introduction to the Scofield Reference Bible, Point XI – pages 3-4 }
Although many “fundamental” Bible-Believer’s are Baptist, Scofield NEVER was…
Although most “Bible-believers” are opposed to a divorced & remarried man serving in the pulpit, as “pastor”, Scofield WAS divorced-remarried & still pastoring, all at the same time…
In fact, in 1882, while separated from his first wife and daughters, he began pastoring the First Congregational Church of Dallas, TX. Eventually, C.I. Scofield was officially divorced from his wife in 1883 (for his neglect). Within a few months into 1884, he had married another woman, and all-the-while maintaining his pastoral ministry at the First Congregational Church of Dallas, TX! (Now known as ~ “Scofield Memorial Church”)
Shame on such disobedience to Scripture! Shame on such un-Biblical congregations! If only there had been godly, Biblical men in the congregation, who would have stood up to such arrogant rebellion, there might never have been such a blight on Christianity as the Scofield Reference Bible. (Pastor Furse spends more than one chapter of his book detailing the many errors of this “study-Bible”.)
1Timothy 3:1-7
“This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.” (KJV)
Independent Baptist historian, James Beller, admits, “The honest truth is that we can never know the whole truth about Mr. Scofield. That there are gaps in Scofield’s life there can be no doubt. He is an enigmatic figure.” (The Soul of St. Louis: A Historical Narrative of Revival in the Gateway City– Arnold, Miss.: Prairie Fire, 1998, p 145)
And, as author David Lutzweiler noted, “One thing I have to say about Scofield is that his entire life was consistent. That is, it was filled with enigmas from beginning to end, both pre-conversion and post-conversion.” (The Praise of Folly: The Enigmatic Life & Theology of C.I. Scofield – Lamplighter Educational Services, 2009 [Apologetics Group Media Materials] – p 189)
Scofield stated that the “day of Christ” was a “mistranslation” in the King James’ Authorized Version of 2Thessalonians 2:2!!! (His preferred switch to “day of the Lord” creates a BIG ERROR in Eschatology!)
And the “New Scofield Reference Bible” is even worse!
For most of his life G. Campbell Morgan taught the dispensational view on Israel and the Jews, but towards the end of his life he changed his views on the relationship of Israel and The Church —
In 1943, two years before he passed to be with the Lord, G. Campbell Morgan wrote to a correspondent concerning the union of Israel and the church:
“I am quite convinced that all the promises made to Israel are found, are finding, and will find, their perfect fulfillment in the church. It is true that in time past, in my expositions, I gave a definite place to Israel in the purposes of God. I have now come to the conviction, as I have just said, that it is the new and spiritual Israel that is intended.”
(Letter to Rev. H. F. Wright, New Brunswick, Victoria)
–From “A New Heaven and a New Earth“, Archibald Hughes, Presbyterian and Reformed Press, Box 185, Nutley, N.J.)
Have you ever heard the term “Shekinah” in your local church service? Did you assume that it was just another name for God, or maybe one of the many Biblical attributes of God?
“Shekhinah” is the “feminine attribute of God” — yes, you read that right — God’s “feminine side”!!!
Thanks to the SRB, “Shekhinah” has been welcome in undiscerning congregations for decades!
“The most sacred place on earth to the Jew was the temple. The most sacred place in the temple was the holy of holies. Now the building itself was not sacred. It was made so by something within the holy of holies. This was the Shekinah Glory, representing the presence of God with His people. This Glory hovered over the mercy seat.”
“This place was so sacred that no one could look upon it but one man. That one man was the high priest. He, on the seventh month and the tenth day of the month each year, could enter, and only then could he enter if he brought with him the blood of the sacrifice on the day of atonement. This man (the high priest) was chosen by God. Imagine how he felt! Imagine how sacred was his annual entrance through the veil into the very presence of God represented by the Shekinah Glory hovering over the mercy seat! Imagine how honored he felt! He alone was chosen by God to enter into this, the holiest place of all.” ~ SOURCE: pastor Jack Hyles – “The Holy Spirit And The Opposite Sex ” (chapter 20) – Meet the Holy Spirit (1982)
Sadly, the sensual “spirit of Shekinah” was evident in the life of Hyles, his son, and his son-in-law! — SEE MORE BELOW —

The following link (below) leads to some inappropriate and pornographic images (photos taken by STAR TREK’s Leonard Nimoy — in honor of “Shekhina” — whom Mr. Nimoy refers to as his female god!) Nimoy was interviewed by the TV show, “Sex + Religion”, and this interview can be viewed in two parts, on this external site (again, we warn you, all of Mr. Nimoy’s “art” is pornographic— but his, and his Rabbi’s explanation of “Shekinah” is VERY informative!)

Nimoy’s Rabbi’s explanation of “Shekinah” (as quoted in the book, “Who is Israel?“) —
Narrator: “John Rosove is Leonard’s Rabbi. [Temple Israel – Hollywood Synagogue] He’s the one who first told Leonard about the Shekhina…”
Nimoy: “… it makes people uncomfortable, the idea that God is a woman…”
Rabbi Rosove: “I have to say this is not a modern concept [that God is a woman—“Shekhina”]… If you read the Bahir and the Kabbalistic literature from the mid-evil period, these Rabbis were ‘right there’— they were very erotically oriented— if you go into a very Hasidic Shul, there is ‘ecstatic’ prayer going on, that verges on the ‘erotic’… The Hasidim – when they’re davening— it’s as though they were ‘making love’… So, this controversy, I think, is a reflection of a ‘Puritanical-Western-American’ world that needs to ‘get over itself’…”
Nimoy: [in spite of the nudity in his book, “Shekhina”] “…I consider myself to be a good Jew… if you think that you might be offended by what I’m about to show you, do what my father told me to do, [in the synagogue] and don’t look…”
