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”.

 

         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.
