In its "Introduction to the Gospels," with the intent to make an opening for a new doctrine, the Scofield Bible wrote:
"In approaching the study of the Gospels the mind should be freed, so far as possible from mere theological concepts and presuppositions. Especially is it necessary to exclude the notion — a legacy in Protestant thought from post-Apostolic [sic] and Roman Catholic theology — that the church is the true Israel, and that the Old Testament foreview of the kingdom is fulfilled in the church."
In other words, we should just ignore what Jesus said, and the apostles through the Holy Spirit, and blindly adopt this new presupposition that ignores context and forces Scripture to say things it does not say.
We should just ignore Jesus saying, "I am the true vine," a declaration of being the true Israel. We should just ignore all parallels between the life of Jesus and that of Israel, such as them wandering the desert for 40 years unable to learn a specific lesson while Jesus wandered the desert for 40 days and quoted that lesson to the devil, or Israel being called out of Egypt and this particular statement being prophetically applied to Jesus.
We should just ignore everything the New Testament teaches regarding the Old Testament and the Ekklesia. We should just ignore that Peter applies certain terminology applied to Israel in the Old Testament to the Ekklesia. We should just ignore everything Paul has to say, especially in Romans 9 and Ephesians 1 where he makes the case that while Jews were chosen, God chose to include the gentiles in His plan of salvation and expand true, spiritual Israel; the fact that Paul takes the two men (Israel and gentiles) and demonstratively shows that there is now one new man in Christ Jesus (consisting of Jews and gentiles) — the Christian.
This new doctrine that the Scofield Bible is trying to get people to imbibe asserts that after the apostles there was a change in theology and beliefs. This is a bald-faced lie! Anyone who bothers to read and pay careful attention to the letters of the apostles can easily see that the apostles themselves taught what the Scofield Bible's new doctrine wanted people to deny. The apostles taught the very same thing the Scofield Bible ignorantly refers to as "post-Apostlic [sic] and Roman Catholic theology." You would have to be willfully blind not to see it.
