On this
page we have links on the right hand column to pages that explore a number
of topics which explain what we believe the Bible teaches. You will notice
that in most of the expositions there are references to numerous Bible quotes.
We recommend that you print out a copy and look at the various quotations
in your own Bible.
Christadelphians
encourage a regular daily reading of the Bible. We believe this is the way
to access the information required to develop and maintain a true and fulfilling
relationship with God. The
Bible, when it is believed, understood and obeyed, has the power to change
our lives and turn us into "children of God". Jesus
said "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life." John 6:63.
With this in mind we believe it is vital to have, as a foundation for our
faith, a correct understanding of the basics of what the Bible teaches.
So we put the question, does the Christianity of the churches truly represent
Bible teaching? The sad truth is, that among Christianity today, the Bible
is increasingly becoming redundant.
Christianity teaches that the righteous go to heaven; the Bible says, "no
man has ascended into heaven."
Christianity says all men have an immortal soul; the Bible never mentions
an immortal soul anywhere, in fact it says the soul dies (Ezekiel 18:4, 20).
The Bible clearly teaches that the reward of the righteous is upon the earth
(Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:9,11,22,29; Psalm 72; Isaiah 11).
The true gospel concerns the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth
at the return of Jesus Christ to reign over a remodelled earth.
Belief in the Bible is not just "blind faith". The evidence for
the reliability of the Bible is provable by the reliability of it's prophecy.
The Bible foretold the history of Egypt over 2,500 years - accurately!
The book of Daniel (Written around 600BC) details the rise and fall of four
great world empires: Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome over a period of 2,500
years.
All the major events of Jewish history are detailed in the Bible; in some
cases, thousands of years before the events came to pass.
The Roman invasion of Israel in 70AD scattered Jewry throughout the whole
world. For hundreds of years Bible students wrote confidently of the coming
rebirth of the nation in the land of Israel. This is now a fact of history.
There are hundreds of references in both the old and new testaments of the
Bible that foretell of the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will come
to judge the world, and with the assistance of His true followers, He will
subdue and destroy all the existing political and religious powers. The world
will experience incredible earthquake activity that will set the scene for
the construction of a massive temple in the land of Israel which will become
the centre of the Kingdom of God on the earth.
The Bible gospel promises a place in that kingdom to believers and this is
the hope of Christadelphians. |
