The Christadelphian Sect

True Or False?

"Dear Dr. Belanger,   I have a friend who is a Christadelphian who thinks what I believe is not the real truth.  He does not believe in the trinity, the devil, heaven or hell and denies the deity of Christ.  How can I begin to show him that the REAL truth that Jesus IS LORD!  Sincerely, Kim S."

Christadelphianism is a religious movement begun by Dr. John Thomas who was born in London England on April 12, 1805. In 1832 he immigrated to the United States. On the way to New York, his ship encountered several terrible storms that threatened shipwreck and death. Dr. Thomas promised God that if he were delivered, he would devote his life to the study of religion. He made it to America and kept his promise.

Christadelphianism is another clever impersonation of Christianity. Christadelphians are sincere about their beliefs. While claiming to be the restored truth, this cult group relies on its own skewed interpretations  It denies the devil's existence as a fallen angel, as well as fiery hell, the Trinity,and even denies that Jesus' sacrifice was substitutionary, and it teaches that Jesus had a sinful nature. It is definitely not Christian. Like all cults, Christadelphianism denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity.

The danger of this cult is its dangerously crafted approach to the Bible. The Bible is always subordinate to their faulty interpretations of scripture. Any religious group that denies the deity of Jesus Christ is heretical and cursed by God. This includes Christadelphianism. Discerning believers will demonstrate zero tolerance for this and any group/cult that denies the sufficiency of the atoning work of Christ and His Lordship.

The study of God's Word is foundational and essential to an effective ministry that refutes heretical influences. This requires a sound curriculum in Bible and theological studies to achieve the ultimate goal of exalting the Lord Jesus Christ. The Open Bible Institute provides an exhaustive and exciting exposition of God's Word beginning with Genesis and continuing through Revelation. Rightly dividing God's Word is the essential objective of our efforts to enable Christians to follow God's will. This biblically based objective is essential to nurturing the disciplines that are necessary for the futherance of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. 

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
