Pioneer Christadelphian Appeal

 

                        Dear viewer

           we are presenting this page

          so that you will know why we

          have come into existence as a

                   separate group of

                     Christadelphians

          THE SCRIPTURES ALONE ARE OUR GUIDE

        

            You may be aware of the situation today,    when there

            are  many  groups who claim to  represent   the Truth.

            Some  of  these  call   themselves  “Christadelphian”.

            This name means  “brother or sister of Christ”,        and

            was  adopted  by John Thomas to describe     a body of

            people who totally accept and  endeavour  to put into

            practice  the  teaching  of  the  Bible.           John Thomas

            was   fully supported  by  his  fellow  pioneer      and  co-

            labourer  Robert Roberts..link to      'messages'   page 2.

 

            John Thomas(later quoted by Robert Roberts)wrote:

            “Christadelphianism”       is a term representative of the

            system of  the Truth taught    in     the written word con-

                              cerning Christ and His brethren.

            It  represents  the Truth disinterred from the rubbish

                      of clerical and denominational tradition”.

            These two brothers were Christadelphian pioneers.

 

            The  Scriptures  reveal   that   declension from the Faith is

            two-fold.  Some tolerate wrong doctrines and practices.

            Some add the traditions of men, and expect their  mem-

            bers to subscribe to them.  Both extremes are unaccept-

                             able and an “abomination” to God.

            Compare Deuteronomy 4v1,2;5v31-33;12v32;17v18-20;

            28v14, Joshua 1v7-9; 23v6-8, Proverbs 4v20-27; 17v15,

                2nd John 8-11,3rd John 5-11, Revelation 22v16-19.

 

         Note carefully the faithful example of  Josiah,   who    “did

         that which was right in the sight of the LORD,      and walk-

         ed in the ways of David his father,    and DECLINED NEI-

         THER TO THE RIGHT HAND,         NOR TO THE LEFT”

         2nd Chronicles 34v1,2.       In the days of Christ,   He identi-

         fied the  two extremes with  the  Sadducees      (left-leaning,

         lax)and the Pharisees     (right-leaning, adding traditions of

                men)and warned against both, Matthew 16v6-12.

         The Lord taught His disciples to tread

         “the narrow way, which leadeth unto life”,   Matt.7v13-20.         

 

       Honest-hearted believers       who love the Truth

       have  been  troubled   by   this declension from

       the Faith,    and  have wondered what    can      be

       done  about  it.       It is our  humble  belief        that

       those of a ‘Pioneer’ mind      should join togeth-

       er. As Robert Roberts truly wrote-

       “Unity is a beautiful and desirable thing,         but

           it has conditions and it requires no pleas.

       Where  it  exists   it exerts itself        like a law of

       nature……THE    ONLY    PRACTICABLE

       RULE  OF  OPERATION     AT      PRESENT

       IS  FELLOWSHIP  ON      THE   BASIS    OF

                       ONENESS  OF  MIND”.

       It would be a pleasure     to hear from you.

       The times are urgent,  and the Master of

       the  House  is  about  to  return   to judge

       those who are responsible. May we,each

       one, by believing &      following the Truth,

       wherever  it  might  lead,         be granted an

          entrance into His glorious Kingdom.
