If you ignore the notes in the Scofield Bible, it's just another Bible.
The problem with it was his commentary explaining passages in a way that divided God's people into "the Church" and "Israel".
Beyond that, I don't think there are enough differences between literal, word-for-word translations that would cause an honest people to arrive at an interpretation that would damn them. Stay away from "dynamic equivalency" translations because it's way too easy for them to turn into commentaries.
