  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..

         These two brothers

                 were

 Christadelphian pioneers.

 

 John Thomas(later quoted

 by Robert Roberts)wrote:

     “Christadelphianism         is a term representative

                     of

   the system of the Truth

taught by the written word

    concerning Christ and

           His brethren.

   It represents the Truth

     disinterred from the

   rubbish of clerical and denominational tradition”

                link to

'GenuineChristadelphians'   

 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 members to subscribe

 to them. Both extremes are

       unacceptable and an

     “abomination” to God.

              Compare Deuteronomy4v1,2;5v31-33;

   12v32;17v18-20;28v14,

     Joshua 1v7-9; 23v6-8,

   Proverbs 4v20-27;17v15,

         Ezekiel 13v19,22,

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 walked in the ways of David his father, and DECLINED NEITHER TO THE RIGHT HAND, NOR TO THE LEFT" - 2nd Chronicles 34v1,2. In the days of Christ, He identified the two extremes with the Sadducees (left-leaning, lax) and the Pharisees (right-leaning, adding the traditions of men) and warned against both, Matthew 16v6-12.

 

He condemned them - Matthew 22v15-46; 23v1-39; 15v1-20. The Lord taught His disciples to tread "the narrow way, which leadeth unto life" - Matthew 7v13-20.

 

The principles set out above are simply a reflection of the character of God Himself - cp Exodus 34v4-8 - "and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" - John 17v3. Those who respond are "sanctif(ied) through (God's) truth" (v17) "that they all may be one" (v21) - thus fulfilling the prayer of Jesus Christ.    

 

  Honest-hearted believers       who

     love the Truth have been

   troubled   by   much 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 together.

 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”.

       link to ‘fellowship’  

  

  The only ecclesia recognized

in the New Testament is the one

     recorded in Acts 2v41-47,

      which was founded upon

     "the apostles' doctrine and

 fellowship", to which ecclesia 

   "the Lord added...such as

             should be saved".

    The only way we can have

         fellowship with God

            individually is to

          “walk in the light", 

and if we do this, then (and only

 then) can we "have fellowship

with each other"-1st John 1v3-7

  in the ecclesia (above) which

     meets upon "the apostles'

     doctrine and fellowship".

 This is the essential truth of the

   doctrine of fellowship which

  few today seem to understand.

     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.
