What happens when Christians accept a popular version of history that doesn’t match the historical record?
In this episode of Incite-FUEL, Jeremy Slayden and I go straight at the battle over Spurgeon, Scofield, Darby, dispensationalism and Christian Zionism—including claims being made about what Christians supposedly believed long before Scofield ever published his famous reference Bible.
We get into Spurgeon’s own words about the Darbyites and God’s Chosen People under the New Covenant, Cyrus Scofield’s history of deceit and shadiness —AFTER his multiple & conflicting conversion stories, and the enormous influence his reference Bible study notes ultimately had on American Christianity.
But stay through the end.
We turn to something much more personal: A past addiction and the repeated allegations that I stole money from my church—allegations connected to criminal charges that were ultimately dropped. Here’s the full account of what happened: https://insighttoincite.substack.com/p/a-tale-to-tell-our-story?r=qry76&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
History matters. Evidence matters. And repeating an accusation enough times does not make it true.
This is an important episode on more than one level.
