Christadelphians on the unseen God: "it doesn't make sense." 💀
*Quotes the Scriptures that mention an unseen God anyways*

[classicchristianliterature]

Imagine meeting someone and they say they belong to the “unamended Christadelphians”. All of these 1800’s restoration movements are difficult to keep up with

[chrisray]

Hard mode: The Unitarian Church of Transylvania, one of the oldest unitarian churches that was founded shortly after the Reformation, so little is written about them in English.

Will you ever plan to do videos about extinct Christian denominations? Like the Puritans or the Diggers or the Oneida Community? Even something on Christian Deism would be interesting.

[adamkotter]

Thank you so much for such high-quality and unbiased videos!

[namewitheld]

Yay! This is the one i asked for. Thank you so much. I love your channel.

Ive learnt more about Christadelphians in this vid than I have from anywhere else. I went to an SDA Church that was around the corner of a Christadelphian eclessia here in Australia.

Every week that had the subject of their service on a giant sign. Would often notice that they would mention other churches by name and tease doctorines they said they got wrong. They were always much more tactful about the SDA Church because that eclessia happened to send several of their children to the SDA schools as they didnt have their own school system.

That eclessia doesnr meet at that location anymore and it's been taken over by St Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church

Thank you for your service to people with an interest in knowing, understanding various groups gathering under the umbrella of christian church. Every video viewed has been enriching, and at times convicting.
Please continue.
May be blessed through Jesus Christ.

I'm very thankful for all the hard work you put into these. It's does a great job informing me what pitfalls to avoid.

[biffspigler]

I'm having serious JW/Bible Students flashbacks with this video 🤯 Interesting how restorationism influenced all these groups and how they spun off of each other.

[catmanbluz]

Thomas said to the resurrected Jesus "the Lord of me the God of me." Jesus didn't correct him but rather took that as a statement of faith showing that he believed the right thing about Jesus

[Stormageddon]

I find it funny that all of these movements against denominations always lead to more denominations.

Thanks for this carefully researched and presented video - I’ve been looking out for you to make it for ages.

I’m a Christadelphian who has travelled widely to ecclesias in Australia and NZ. A couple of points that were interesting to me:

- While I have heard of Christadelphians that believe that God is essentially visible and physical, and that Jesus was crucified on a stake rather than a cross, both of those positions are rare in my experience and neither are part of my personal beliefs.

- While I admire those who abstain from media such as TV, I myself do not and I would say this is a minority position amongst Christadelphians.

- The explanation of Christadelphian conscientious objection to military/police service and voting had some strange emphases that aren’t widely taught in my experience. My personal beliefs, in line with those I was taught, are that followers of Christ are to abstain from these things because our allegiance is to God’s kingdom, not to worldly powers, and the priority of the Gospel is personal transformation, not social change.

- I have never heard of a Christadelphian pastor (or other clerical role).

- One interesting aspect of our beliefs that was not covered is that we reject substitutionary atonement, believing that Christ died as our representative, and giving an example of willing surrender and sacrifice for us to follow.

Thanks again!

[daviddabrowski]

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for these videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[francescocantoni]

Another great content! I've encountered the Christadelfians for the first time during my research on Arianism.

[bobmcbob]

> reject the trinity and Christ’s divinity, practically rejecting half the creed
> reject the cross
> The term Satan might refer to God
Most Christians would have a thing or two to say

[brianphillips]

You really do a great scholastic job of bringing the doctrines of others. Thank you... thank you... thank you. God's Spirit is with you. If I encounter a believer from other faiths I can now discern and pray Jesus' light into their life. I'm not perfect but that which is perfect comes then that which is imperfect will pass away.

[MrSporkster]

You've done a reasonable job of covering Christadelphian positions on creation. The oldest view is Old Earth Creationism, although Young Earth Creationism became dominant when Christadelphians adopted fundamentalism during the 40s and 50s. The two positions have co-existed harmoniously (mainly because the Christadelphian creed does not specify the age of the earth or the duration of creation). Bottom line: special creation is the orthodox view, but over the past few decades it's been challenged by the rise of Evolutionary Creationism, which now has a substantial toehold in the community, and is quietly (and not so quietly) accepted in many congregations. I think Christadelphians watching this video will be delighted that you've taken care to emphasise the freedom of thought that thrives within their community, which is arguably the result of its non-hierarchical ecclesiology.

Just a note about the offshoots of Christadelphianism, the Berean Fellowship should not be confused with the Berean Fellowship of Churches which was founded in 1923 in North Platte, NE. If you look Berean Fellowship up online it mostly shows the latter.
