Subject: Dake's Annotated Bible |
Bible Note: Scribe: "If Dake's notes incurr such a hostile response I wonder if maybe he had some really life changing truths to bring out and the devil would have us not read them." Just remember that it is important to keep in mind the source of the "hostile responses." Paul had some very direct and scathing responses to things in his day, and it was not because he was ruffled by the truth of what they were saying. :) My personal problem with Dake is not primarily focused on his tongues position, but on all sorts of other novel ideas such as there being some thirty or so different dispensations, the pre-existence of man, the idea that God has a body, twenty-three different things one must do to go to heaven. etc. etc. I encourage you to link to this Web site: http://sundial.net/[TILDE]snrgraff/articles/dake.html Replace [TILDE] above with the squiggly thing above the tab key. The bottom line is that so many seminaries disagree with Dake not because he is proving them wrong, but rather because he is wrong about the very nature of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and how one must be saved. Once you get the nature of God wrong, that is the first domino to a whole host of false teaching. The debatable "tongues issue" is nothing compared to what one finds in his notes. --Joe! |
