Part 10 In concluding this series on the Seventh-day Adventist Church, examination is given to some of the common heresies shared among the sister cults that emerged from the broader Adventist movement in the mid-nineteenth century, arising from the failed predictions of William Miller, including Jehovah's Witnesses and Christadelphians.  In this teaching, these common doctrinal heresies shall be explored and briefly refuted.   To wrap up this series, consideration shall be given to the different positions within Adventism, namely the traditionalists vs. the progressives.  Which side of the fence does the Adventist Church fall on today, and in the final analysis, is Seventh-day Adventism a cult?

Thoughts on the readings for January 23rd (Genesis 38; Psalms 41, 42, 43; Matthew 25 Genesis 38 speaks of a very unsavoury set of circumstances surrounding Judah and his daughter-in-law, Tamar. The chapter commenced with a visit from Judah to a prostitute, who bore him a son, Er. The prostitute bare Judah two further sons Onan and Shelah. As the two eldest reached marriageable age he took a wife, Tamar. Er was given in marriage to Tamar. Because of Er's wickedness he was slain by Yahweh. So Tamar was a childless widow. She was given her brother-in-law, Onan who under the rules of the day had the responsibility to raise up an heir for his dead brother. Onan was also wicked and acted evilly. He too was slain by God. Tamar waited a long time for Shelah to become an adult; and then she saw that Judah her father-in-law would not allow her to marry him. She acted to raise up an heir. She posed as a whore and lured her father-in-law into a liaison, by veiling her appearance (it seems she knew Judah's weakness). Judah promised to pay for her services; he didn't have money so he left his staff and signet ring for a pledge. His friend tried to make the payment for Judah, but found the woman gone. Judah later hears of Tamar's pregnancy and says she needed to be burnt for her infidelity. She sends Judah the staff and signet ring of the man who is the father. Judah relented and acknowledged his own hypocrisy. Tamar bore twins, who wrestled for the right to be the firstborn – Perez and Zerah. During the birth Zerah put his fist out and a scarlet thread was tied to his wrist. The fist was drawn in and his brother Perez born first (the name was given because he had burst forth in breech against his brother). The scarlet thread follows a theme throughout the Bible at the time of the taking of Jericho; the ancestor of Jesus in Ruth 4; the scarlet thread to which the hyssop was tied when the pierced Jesus was on the cross (Zerah means “pierced”). When Israel (Jacob) blessed his sons in Genesis 49 he said, “Judah, your brothers shall praise you” (verse 8 ESV). Certainly Judah couldn't be praised for the events in Genesis 38; but he will outshine at the end in the dealings with Joseph in Egypt. The lawgiver and king would come from Judah. And from that tribe the Lord Jesus Christ would be born; conquer sin and death; and in the kingdom rule over the whole earth. The great lesson we learn from the life of Judah is that his selfishness in his youth ultimately transformed into a mature caring and loving brother. Let us never abandon hope in that some of us learn maturity much later in life. cont reading... https://christadelphianvideo.org/thoughts-on-the-readings-for-january-23rd-genesis-38-psalms-41-42-43-matthew-25/ Penned by Warwick Rosser and his team, produced by Christadelphian video.org

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary The PRESENTATION by Mark Johnson explores the concept of atheism and the "leap of faith" that atheists must make regarding their beliefs. It begins by defining atheism and distinguishing it from agnosticism, before delving into the origins of the universe and life. Johnson discusses the scientific method and the challenges atheists face in explaining existence without a deity. He presents arguments about the complexity of the universe and life, and contrasts atheistic views with biblical perspectives, ultimately suggesting that faith in God offers hope and purpose. # Highlights -

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Bible affirms that God is One. The Son of God has a united purpose with his Father from whom emanates the Holy Spirit which empowered the Son to overcome sin to save us. # Summary The presentation by Kevin Sweeney discusses the concept of God as presented in the Bible, specifically addressing the doctrine of the Trinity, which posits that God exists as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Sweeney argues against this notion, asserting that the Bible reveals a singular God, Yahweh, and that the idea of a Trinity is a conundrum that lacks logical coherence. He references various biblical texts to support his view that God is one and that the distinctions made within the Trinity are not substantiated by scripture. The presentation aims to clarify the understanding of God as a singular entity, as opposed to a complex Trinity. # Highlights -

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The latter day prophecies & many wars are focused on Jerusalem, many religious groups claim Jerusalem of their holy sites.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Everything written in the Bible is for our learning. The tabernacle was a school master for Israel to bring them to Christ and guide them to the way of the tree of life. The cherubim in the different visual forms represent the outworking of God's plan and purpose with men through the Lord Jesus Christ. God wants to dwell in the midst of his people, so we can be moulded after his image and likeness.

Ultimately, it asserts that only Jesus can establish a kingdom of peace and justice for all creation. Highlights -

A @Christadelphians Video: Everyone knows that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Hardly anyone knows what this means. The phrased "Son of God" is explained to us in several passages in the New Testament; it also appears in the Old Testament. Luke 1:35 tells us that Jesus is called the Son of God because he has no human father, but was born as the result of a miracle, the power of God acting on Jesus' mother who was a virgin until his birth. He is literally the Son of God. The same passage tells us that Jesus is not God. God brought him into existence and promised to give him the throne of the Kingdom of God. Had Jesus been God, God would never have needed to give him anything; Jesus would already have had whatever it was. The act of giving implies two different beings. The Gospels also show that Jesus was sent by God and that he died and was raised by God. Because Jesus was the Son of God he had a closeness to God which was greater than that of any other being. He was able to act as a perfect image of God (Hebrews 1:1-4) and therefor to show us what God is like. This video is produced by the Gospel Online project which is arranged and supported by the Christadelphian community in the United Kingdom. # Summary This presentation explores the biblical accounts of Jesus Christ being the Son of God, and what that means for believers. It examines key passages from the Gospels of Luke, Matthew, and John, as well as references from the Epistles, to establish that Jesus was the Son of God and Mary, conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. The presentation highlights that Jesus, as the Son of God, had the power to overcome sin and grant eternal life to those who believe in him. ### Highlights

Christadelphian Video: The idea of a Trinity is not found in the Bible and this 2 part series starting this Sunday @2pm gmt+1 explains how and when the idea of a Trinity which is now accepted almost universally as fact took hold on society. This is a fascinating series not to be missed - Be informed..... # Summary This presentation by Darren Teporus explores the topic of the Trinity and its historical development within Christianity. Teporus, a Christadelphian, shares his personal journey and the reasons behind his belief that the Trinity is not a biblical doctrine but rather a later development that diverged from early Christian teachings. He argues that early Christians, including the apostles, had a complete understanding of Jesus Christ's nature, which became corrupted over time due to the influence of human philosophies, particularly those of Plato. The presentation aims to provide clarity on the misconceptions surrounding the Trinity and encourages viewers to examine biblical texts rather than philosophical interpretations. # Highlights -

Part 9 When one begins collating the teachings of the Christian cults, it's no coincidence that there are many shared common beliefs that the Church has long rejected as heretical.  The doctrine in question in this ninth teaching part is no different.  While it may not be on the same damnable par as the rejection of the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Christ or the personhood of the Holy Spirit; to deny the immortality of the soul is a false teaching and one that must be strongly repudiated.  It should come as no surprise to learn that the Watch Tower along with its siblings – Seventh-day Adventists and Christadelphians, reject the belief in the immortality of the soul.  What is surprising is that increasingly, Evangelicals are choosing to adopt the same position as the cults regarding this doctrine. In this teaching, the doctrine of the immortality of the soul is defined and the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses are examined and refuted from the Word of God.  Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/9_The_Immortality_of_the_Soul.pdf

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, have never recognised Israel's right to exist. The Middle East conflict is the latest manifestation of this fundamental hostility between the Jewish State and some of its near neighbours. Peace will not be restored until God makes a decisive intervention. The Lord Jesus will return, and the establish God's kingdom. Then all will know that “the LORD is the Most High over all the earth”. # Summary This presentation discusses the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and how the Bible's prophecies are being fulfilled in the current events. The speaker examines the inability of the United Nations, the United States, and Russia to provide a lasting solution to the conflict. He then delves into the prophecy found in Psalm 83, which describes the nations that have conspired against Israel, and how this prophecy is being realised in the present day. The speaker emphasises that the solution to the conflict lies in God's intervention, as evidenced by past biblical events, and that the ultimate goal is for people to recognise God's sovereignty over the Earth. # Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: This Bible based address shows us how important it is to study the Bible for ourselves, not depending on other people's interpretations. This is the main reason why there are so many denominations. # Summary This presentation discusses the reasons behind the division and differences in beliefs among various Christian churches. It highlights the importance of relying on the Bible as the sole authoritative source of truth, rather than following human leaders or personal experiences. The presentation emphasizes the need to carefully examine the Scriptures and ensure that the teachings we receive are in line with the original gospel message.There are over 40,000 different Christian denominations who all have varying beliefs. How has this happened? Does it really matter which one I belong to?There are over 40,000 different Christian denominations who all have varying beliefs. How has this happened?

It examines the two distinct phases of Babylon and Israel, as well as the roles of the prophets Daniel and John in unfolding this prophetic framework. The presentation then delves into the final controversy at the time of the end, which will have two distinct stages - one in Israel and one in Europe. The presentation highlights the champions of the red line (the seed of the serpent) and the blue line (the seed of the woman) who will clash in these final battles, leading to the ultimate triumph of the blue line. # Highlights -

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary Suitability: For more advanced Bible students. This video is an in-depth Bible study and may not be suitable for all. The speaker assumes knowledge of the background when he refers to certain Bible passages. Consequently, it could be discouraging, and we do not wish this upon anyone. There are a wide variety of talks more suitable for someone with limited Bible knowledge. This PRESENTATION explores the biblical account of the Witch of Endor from 1 Samuel 28, examining whether Samuel truly appeared or if the encounter was a deception. It discusses the reactions of the witch and Saul, the nature of familiar spirits, and the implications of seeking counsel from the dead. The analysis concludes that the witch likely did not see Samuel but rather used her skills in ventriloquism and suggestion to deceive Saul, ultimately leading to his downfall. # Highlights -

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation outlines the framework of Bible prophecy, tracing the continuous conflict between the "seed of the woman" and the "seed of the serpent" from the foundation of the world to the time of the end.

A @Christadelphians Video: In Matthew 24:3 Jesus' disciples asked him "What will be the sign of thy coming, and of the End of the World?" This talk explores the Bible passages relating to the "End of the Days", the "End of the World" and the "World to Come". It shows how the dramatic signs of the times of today clearly point to the very near return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Earth. The angels of God are working among the nations to bring events to the time of the resurrection of the dead and the gathering of living believers to the judgment seat of Christ. We must all put forth our best endeavours to show our allegiance to God and His Son, practising a living faith every day. It is time to lift up our heads, for our redemption is drawing nigh! # Summary This presentation discusses the current state of the world and the imminent return of Jesus Christ, based on the author's interpretation of biblical prophecies from the Book of Daniel and the Gospel of Matthew. It highlights key events and time periods leading up to the "end of the world" and the establishment of the "world to come". # Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: # SummaryThis presentation is a Bible discussion that explores the theme of God's control over one's life, particularly focusing on the message conveyed in 1 John 2:15-17. The discussion is led by Stan Isbell, who shares personal experiences and insights to help the audience understand the importance of basing one's life on the authority of God's word rather than the temptations and delusions of the world.# Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: You call me master and LordThe purpose of this presentation is to explore the way the Lord Jesus Christ is referred to throughout the New Testament, this exploration was stimulated by the realisation that over recent decades the Lord Jesus Christ has been 'demoted' to simple ‘Jesus” both in general reference to our Lord in talks and also in the closing of prayers where instead of the specified formula asking all things in the “name of Lord Jesus Christ” the singular name Jesus is used instead. In some cases simply a reference to “in your son's name” is considered a suitable way to close a pray and has become popular. We propose that this casualisation of our Lord's name is part of a general trend across a number of areas of Christian practise. The thoughts we propose in this talk are meant as discussion points rather than absolute dogmatic assertions, however, it is our conviction that the popular way the Lord is referred to these days does not reflect the teaching of scripture on the subject, minimises his work and diminishes his status which was dearly through his life and death. If our argument is faulty in a particular detail, we welcome feedback. To his disciples jesus was master and Lord titles which He acknowledged were appropriate, almighty God designated Jesus as both Lord and Christ a position attained by his sinless life, obedience to death resulting in his resurrection and ascension to the right hand of his father and yet to many today he is simply Jesus, is this appropriate?# SummaryThis PRESENTATION explores the significance of how the Lord Jesus Christ is referred to in the scriptures compared to contemporary usage. It argues that the casual reference to Jesus, often simply as "Jesus," lacks the respect and reverence found in biblical texts. The speaker emphasises the importance of using appropriate titles, such as "Lord" and "Master," to honour Jesus and maintain the dignity of the relationship between believers and Christ, especially in prayer.# Highlights-

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation discusses the challenges faced by disciples living in the time of the end, where the pace of life has become increasingly fast and overwhelming. The speaker emphasises the need to slow down, stand still, and seek God's perspective amidst the frantic rush of the world. # Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation discusses the unprecedented rate of change and instability in the world today, and how it poses a challenge for disciples of Christ to remain steadfast in their faith. The speaker uses the examples of Daniel and his three friends to illustrate how one can purpose in their heart to not be changed by the pressures of the world, and instead, change the world around them. # Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation discusses the importance of simplifying and decluttering our lives in the time of the end, focusing on the one thing that is truly needful - our spiritual progress in Christ. The presenter highlights six key obstacles that can hinder us from pursuing this one thing, drawing from various passages in the New Testament. The presentation encourages the audience to identify and address these obstacles in their own lives, in order to maintain a singular focus on growing in Christ. # Highlights

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation explores the concept of being "wise" in the context of the chaotic and ever-changing world, drawing insights from the book of Daniel. It suggests that the antidote to the frantic pace of the world is to emulate the characteristics of the stars - being steadfast, simple, and focused on shining God's light, in anticipation of becoming part of God's eternal, heavenly family. # Highlights

Part 4 Whenever the doctrine of the Trinity comes under enemy fire, it is a direct assault upon the persons of the Godhead and thus a direct assault on God Himself.  The Apostle John understood this when in his day he contended earnestly for the verity of the Christian faith against an early form of Gnosticism called Docetism.  John shot it straight and made no bones, saying, “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also” (1 Jn. 2:23).  Meddle with the Son and you meddle with the Father; deny a cardinal tenet of Christ's nature, and you lose the Father in the process!  You cannot have it both ways and yet the irony is, the cults insist you can.  Whether it be Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, or Christadelphians, each attack the deity of the Son of God, stripping Him of His eternal glory while at the same time insisting that they still have the Father!  Concerning the person of Christ, Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus is a created spirit not differing in substance to an angel.  They believe and teach that there was a time when the blessed Son of God was not!   In part 4 of this teaching series, we confront this error and present Biblical evidence proving the deity of Christ.
