Zone1 Christadelphians?

[DennisPTate]

On Wednesday night I went to a meeting that I thought has got to be a branch of the Worldwide Church of God but no, this was an entirely different church that apparently has over fifty thousand members worldwide.

I noticed immediately that one of the advantages that this church has over the WWCG is that they are NOT non-Prostylitizing as the WWCG used to be. I am impressed that this group actually wants to meet and begin to mentor people who might just be interested in their movement.

Christadelphians are a non-trinitarian, millennialist Christian group founded in the 19th century, emphasizing strict biblical authority, the imminent return of Jesus to establish God’s kingdom on earth, and believers' baptism. They reject mainstream doctrines like the Trinity, the immortality of the soul, and a personal devil, operating through autonomous local congregations known as "ecclesias".

Core Beliefs and Practices

• Bible Authority: They believe the Bible is the inspired, error-free word of God and the sole authority for doctrine.
• Unitarian View of God:They believe in one God (the Father) and that Jesus is the Son of God, not God himself, and was sinless but shared human nature
• • Jesus' Return & Kingdom: They believe Jesus will return to Earth to set up the Kingdom of God, ruling from Jerusalem, and that the dead will be raised for judgment.
  • Salvation: Achieved through belief in the Gospel and baptism by immersion.
  • Rejection of Specific Doctrines: They do not believe in the Trinity, the pre-existence of Christ, the immortal soul, a literal devil/Satan, or heaven-going.
  • Lifestyle: They generally do not vote, engage in politics, or participate in military service
  .
• Organization and Structure
  • Ecclesias: Local congregations, or "ecclesias," are autonomous, with no central headquarters or paid clergy.
  • Origins: The movement was founded by Dr. John Thomas in the 1840s-1860s, primarily in the UK and North America.
  • Membership: There are approximately 50,000–70,000 members worldwide, with a strong presence in the UK, North America, Australia, and parts of Africa and Asia.
  • Worship: Services, typically on Sunday, focus on bible readings, hymn singing, and the breaking of bread (communion)

• Key Terminology
  • Christadelphian: Means "brothers and sisters in Christ".
  • Ecclesia: A Greek term used for a local church gathering

• My guess is that there might just be thousands if not tens of thousands of former members of the Worldwide Church of God within this interesting group.

According to the New Testament, all Christians are called to testify and proselytize, aren't they? It was the pseudo-Jewish Babylonian Jews and their progeny the Pharisees that turned away from Abraham and Moses and the written Torah and turned what is modern 'Judaism' into a racist isolationist cult that worships the Talmud instead of the written Torah, not Christians. Of course there are Christian Jews, Mandeans, Reformed, and other sects that reject the Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox nonsense and recognize that monotheism is implicitly universalist, or 'little c' catholic.

Wow!

Your answer is fascinating EdwinAMartin.

What do you personally think of the theory put forward by former Atheist and near death experiencer Rabbi Alon Anava that there are a rather tiny group of Jews, who are NOT Jewish at all, but they may attempt to dress and appear to be Jewish?

I get the impression from Rabbi Alon Anava that the "Eruv Rav" group of people have played a role in virtually every pogrom or Holocaust or disaster that has came upon the Jewish people since the time of Moses.

Frankly some members of the Eruv Rav may attempt to dress up and appear and sound, like members of various religious organizations where there is a lot of wealth and influence.
