So what is this "Scofield Bible" and I guess its different from the King James bible?

My dad was an evangelical minister of the dispensational premillenialism, but only nominally so,, It never got this ridiculous, but those Dallas Seminary, Bible Church, Hal Lindsey people. This is exactly where they are. This whole construct was created by British Zionism circa 1890 and disseminated through the Scofield Bible

I recommend Yandex search engine. The Scofield is the text used by all the Dallas Seminary types. Charismatics, etc

The Scofield Reference Bible is a widely circulated study Bible edited and annotated by the American Bible student Cyrus I. Scofield, which popularized dispensationalism at the beginning of the 20th century. Published by Oxford University Press and containing the entire text of the traditional, Protestant King James Version, it first appeared in 1909 and was revised by the author in 1917.
It's a reference bible - it's the text of the King James, but with footnotes written by Scofield (and later, his team). The footnotes make certain claims about the meaning of certain verses that lead the reader to conclusions that they would probably not otherwise reach. (That's about the most polite way I can think of to phrase things.)
