The Christian life is to be a life without being dominated by sin; a life of holiness. “If men today get the salvation of the New Testament they will be holy and Righteous.”20 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Paul says that Jesus “emptied himself, taking the form of a bond-servant…being made in the likeness of men” (Phil.2:7 NASB). This is known as the kenosis passage, which comes from a Greek verb that means “to empty.” The question is, what does “emptied himself” mean, and of what did Jesus empty himself while on earth?

In the upcoming articles (beginning first with an article on Dake’s distortion and denial of the Trinity) I will provide evidence from Dake’s own writings to prove beyond a doubt what he is teaching is not biblical Christianity, but a corrupt and heretical distortion. For some of the topics I will also provide links to biblical articles at LearnTheology.com (there are for example about 8 articles on the Trinity). Finis Jennings Dake (October 18, 1902 – July 7, 1987) was an American Pentecostal minister and evangelist born in Miller County, Missouri, known primarily for his writings on the subjects of Pentecostal (or Charismatic) Evangelical Christian spirituality and Premillennial Dispensationalism. His most well known work was the Dake Annotated Reference Bible.

If I have inspired you to study God’s Word with an open mind; if I have influenced you to take Scriptures literally; and if my testimony has made you hungry for God, His Word and His anointing, then I have accomplished the purpose I had in mind – that of blessing your life! The Dake Bible itself is an extensive work, with some 35,000 commentary notes and over 50,000 cross references, using the King James Version as its basic text. Most Bible scholars consider Dake’s notes to be the personal viewpoints of Finnis Jennings Dake rather than objective or strictly based on the Bible. Dake wrote from a Charismatic viewpoint, so the Dake Bible definitely is of that persuasion. The Greek and Latin Creeds, vol. 2, The Creeds of Christendom, 6th ed., ed. Philip Schaff (1931; repr., Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1985), 66. The articles on Finis Dake that we already have are written by a variety of authors. These articles touch on all of the major areas that Finis Dake and the Dake Annotated Reference Bible deviate from true Christianity. Future articles will examine specific beliefs or issues more in-depth. There are also doctrinal notes. The doctrinal focus is Pentecostal, old-earth Creationism, and Prophecy. Prophecy is a major theme throughout the notes with a focus on the various dispensations.I thus became acquainted with a perplexing array of doctrines. Some of them were in agreement with Scripture and could be proved when all passages dealing with the subject were examined. But others turned out to be “hand-me-down” theology from a former generation of preachers, many of whom were great in spite of their doctrinal errors. The Dake Annotated Reference Bible is like no other study Bible on the market. A lifetime of study and painstaking research went into it. The Dake Bible has 35,000 commentary notes, 500,000 cross/chain references and 9,000 outline headings. In essence the Dake Bible gives you more resources for personal study than you’ll find in any other Bible. Period! Many of Dake’s statements regarding the Trinity are similar to classic Trinitarian statements, but his view is not the same as the historic Christian view; if it were the same, he certainly would not have called the historic Christian view foolish and unscriptural. The Dake Annotated Reference Bible KJV Large Print Pdf is a great way to get the most out of your Bible reading. This Bible contains notes that are not found in any other Bible, and they will help you understand the scriptures more clearly. The Rapture And The Second Coming Of Christ, by Finis J.

This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 27, number 5 (2004). For further information on the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org All Dake Bibles have the same notes inside. The Dake Study Bible and Dake Annotated Reference Bible are the same Bible! Some people refer to the Dake Annotated Reference Bible as the Dake Study Bible – which of course is fine considering every Dake Bible has over 35,000 commentary notes in it! Finis Jennings Dake, foreword to God’s Plan for Man [hereafter GPFM] (Lawrenceville, GA: Dake Bible Sales, 1949).According to Dake, justification, the initial act of God by which He declares a believing sinner righteous, is maintained by obeying certain conditions and by not sinning: “every act of obedience is an act of faith and works combined to maintain justification before God.” 54 He states elsewhere that a believer who sins can lose his salvation and again be condemned: “A man forgiven of past sins must quit sin. If he commits the same sins again after conversion he will be charged with them again. They must be properly confessed and forgiven again or he will pay the death penalty for the new crimes.” 55 I then began to study the Bible without ceasing, and have now spent around a hundred thousand hours digging into the wealth of its teachings. Theologians, apologists, and scholars are taking a stand against teachings found in the Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, which they claim are aberrational and unorthodox. Archer asserts that Dake’s stand is invalid. “It certainly seems to be a faith-plus-works proposition. I don’t recall anywhere in Pentecostal beliefs that suggests that. It sounds cultic, and there is very great cause for alarm.”

Dake Annotated Reference Bible, by Finis J. Dake, (Lawrenceville, Georgia: Dake Bible Sales, Inc. 1963) Dake’s view of essential Christian doctrines sometimes has more in common with the theology of the cults than with historic Christian theology. His works, while containing many biblical truths, include numerous other unbiblical and outlandish teachings, such as: God lives in a mansion on a material planet called Heaven and is invisible to us only because He is so far away that we cannot see Him, 62 humans are miniatures of God in attributes and power, 63 Adam replaced Lucifer as ruler of the earth, 64 disease germs are related to demons, 65 God wants the races to remain separate as they were originally and will be in eternity. 66 It is unfortunate that Dake’s faulty works find such a welcome place in Christian churches and bookstores. Dake also argues that since humans were created in God’s image and have bodies, God must have a body as well: “If man was made in the image and likeness of God bodily, then God must have a body, and an outward form and shape.” 23 Mormons make the same argument. It is false, however, to assume that because we are like God, God must be like us. Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes explain, “Just because all horses have four legs does not mean that all four-legged things are horses. And just because God made male and female does not mean he is male and female. ‘God is Spirit’ (John4:24), yet he made people with bodies (Gen.2:7). Just because we have a physical body does not mean that God has one too.” 24 urn:lcp:dakesannotatedre00dake:epub:ab9ef650-905f-4574-acb9-e5331cf0f759 Extramarc OhioLINK Library Catalog Foldoutcount 0 Identifier dakesannotatedre00dake Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4fn2117g Isbn 1558290125 For over 50 years, the Dake Annotated Reference Bible has set the standard for study bibles, combining thoughtful scholarship with easy accessibility, and providing the serious student with the tools necessary to "rightly divide the Word of Truth" (2 Tim. 2:15).Although we've had a software version of the Dake Bible for many years, we've been told by many of our loyal fans that they want something a little less complicated. Many times we've heard you say, "I just want my normal Dake Bible on my computer!" There are two types of section headings within the text. The first type is the NKJV section headings in bold. The other type is in smaller text that is centered, numbered, and presented in outline form. Many of them include references.
