PIONEER CHRISTADELPHIAN Home Page-Index This site has been created for the promotion of 2 objectives - SOUND DOCTRINE AND SOUND FELLOWSHIP THE PIONEER CHRISTADELPHIAN FELLOWSHIP We are Christadelphians Upholding the Truth as revealed in God's inspired word and proclaimed by John Thomas & Robert Roberts - whose writings are largely ignored today by the majority: We invite the support of others who also love the Truth. It is true that (as predicted) the Master's "house" has been "broken up" - but in such a situation there is a blessing pronounced upon those who "feared Yahweh" & "spake often one to another" - Matthew 24v43 & Malachi 3v16. By the grace of God, we hope to continue our endeavours to unite brothers & sisters who share a belief in the One Faith "which was once for all delivered unto the saints" - Jude 3 RV. The greatest sin of these last days is the almost universal acceptance of evil, coupled with the inability to recognize what evil really is. It is only the word of God which is able to dispel this gross darkness. "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people" - Isaiah 60v2. "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple" - Psalm 119v130. THE TWO GREAT 'SIGNS' OF THESE LAST DAYS - Proverbs 27v18 cp Matthew 24v29 to 25v46 The political 'SIGN' of Israel - "Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof" It appears, from calculations elsewhere on this site, that we may have entered a final count-down period, leading to "Armageddon" in AD 2027 - link here to for more details. THIS DATE IS A SUGGESTON ONLY The ecclesial 'SIGN' of Apostacy - "So he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured" Recent tragic events demonstrate the urgent need for plain speaking, and for those caught up in current apostacy to remove themselves from complicity with evil - link to 'Proverbs' - p.2&3 In particular the inroad of "clean flesh" substitutionary teaching within 'Central Christadelphians' has accelerated. Read again such Pioneer works as 'Elpis Israel' & re-consider the "two principal acceptations" of "sin". Jesus Christ committed no sin, but because He was born of "sinful flesh", He needed salvation through sacrifice and resurrection in common with those whom He came to save. Any teaching which denies this clear scriptural doctrine is apostate and cannot save anyone. link to - Study the prophecies concerning Christadelphians in 'The Messages to the 7 Ecclesias' page 3. (to fully understand this application, examine the two applications suggested by John Thomas in 'Eureka' and H.P.Mansfield in 'The Apocalypse Epitomised' set out in page 1 & page 2, and before you reject it, consider Proverbs 18v13 & Amos 3v7 - also the two 'signs' above) Extracts from page 3 - In "the last days" of Israel's existence prior to AD70, the Apostle John fought against heresy ("deceivers..who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh") and the toleration of heresy ("he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds") - 2nd John. Is it any wonder then that we must also combat these same two disasters in "the last days" of Gentile times just prior to the return of Christ? "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil". It is time for the light of truth to dispel the darkness which has descended upon the Household of Faith in these terrible last days of Gentile times. "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made man- ifest, that they are wrought in God" - John 3v19,21. MARRIAGE & DIVORCE: those who have adopted the Catholic dogma of no divorce should examine the scriptural facts as opposed to the many current theories. A careful reading of the Gospel records will reveal the teaching of Christ on this subject. Our map illustrates the setting of His words, & also why He spoke as He did - link to 'Marriage and Divorce' And do not be misled by false interpretations of 'the 1898 Melbourne divorce case'. We set out the truth based upon the actual court records and the real facts, with reference to Robert Roberts' comments & the Scriptures. We also set out very clearly the beliefs of John Thomas & Robert Roberts on divorce & re-marriage. And just recently, some old discredited "translations" of Matthew 5v32 & 19v9 have re-surfaced. To see our reply, originally issued in 1973, link to 'The 'Exceptive Clause' - the real facts'.
