What
Christadelphians Believe
|
| Christadelphians
are a community of believers found all over the world and although
their name has only been used in the last 150 years, their beliefs
were those preached by the Apostles, 2000 years ago. The name
'Christadelphian' means; 'Brothers in Christ' describ- ing both
men and women who believe 'things concerning the Kingdom of
God and the name of Jesus Christ'. In particular Christadelphians
believe in the following; |
| Bible
- That the Bible is the only true message from God and was entirely
given by him. It is sufficient to teach men and women the way
of life, being a self-revelation of the thoughts of God. It
is in part literal and part symbolic - as defined by the text
and providing a logical and reasonable explanation of creation
and life upon planet earth. Christadelphians do not believe
that any of their members, past or present, have received any
special revelation direct from God. They base their faith solely
on the Bible as the Word of God. ".. all Scripture is given
by inspiration of God and is profitable for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness". (2 Timothy 3:16) and
that "holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy
Spirit". (2 Peter 1:21) |
God
- That God exists as a being with power and personality. That
he has a specific location in heaven with the angels his messengers.
That he is the creator of the heavens, the earth, and all life
on the earth including humankind. That he is the father of Jesus
Christ and that he has a purpose for his Son to reign on earth
at a time yet future.
God is all powerful, he does not share his power with any sinful
being who is opposed to his ways. (Satan is a term which refers
to 'adversary' or 'an enemy' and can refer to good and bad people,
figuratively, the terms the devil and satan can refer to sin
and the flesh). |
