The Christadelphians
A Body of Bible Believing People

The Christadelphians are a religious group who base our beliefs wholly on the Bible, regarding it as fully inspired by God, and hence believe it is error free. The name "Christadelphian" was first used in the mid-1800s, but we believe that there have been people who share our beliefs throughout history. We are confidently waiting for Christ to return to earth when he will set up the Kingdom of God.

The fundamental Christadelphian beliefs are:

1. The Bible is God's word and the only message from him. It is without error, except for copying and translation errors.
2. There is only one God - the Father. The Holy spirit is God's power.
3. Jesus is the Son of God, and a human being, through his mother Mary.
4. By living a sinless life Jesus has opened the way of salvation from death.
5. Jesus is currently in Heaven, on God's right hand. He will one day return.
6. When he returns he will rule the earth and give immortality to those who have tried to follow him and do the will of God. His followers will help him to rule.
7. Man is mortal, having no existence when dead. The reward for the faithful is eternal life on earth after Christ's return.
8. Baptism is essential to gain this eternal life.

What Christadelphians Believe explains more about each of these key areas, showing that they are all firmly rooted in the Bible. The Bible Our Guide is a FAQ-style booklet that gives extensive Biblical references that explain our point of view.

Why do Christadelphians believe that the Bible is the word of God? Fulfilled Bible prophecies, such as Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel Two, provide some outstanding proof that the Bible did come from God. FT Pearce's Bible Prophecy - Convincing Proof that God Exists looks at this in more detail.

The Christadelphian Webring

The Christadelphian Webring has finally arrived here at its new home. Although it isn't quite ready at the moment, it is now open for visitors!

Christadelphians and the Internet

If you are a Christadelphian, you might like to visit Christadelphians and the Internet, a selection of pages that welcome you to the Internet, help you to explain our beliefs to others using the Internet, and ask Is the Internet a Danger?

If you are a Christadelphian user of ICQ, you might be interested in the Christadelphian ICQ directory. Like the webring, the ICQ directory was started by Rich Thomas.

Every Christadelphian ecclesia ('church') in the UK is entitled to free webspace or a forwarding URL on www.christadelphian.org.uk. Read about this Ecclesial Pages Scheme from the Christadelphian Internet Project.

Site Development

We've been doing a lot of under the bonnet work at www.christadelphian.org.uk in the past few months. Our searchable Web directory has links to nearly 150 other sites, and our search engine has over 1000 pages in its index. Both of these facilities are still under development, and we welcome constructive criticism. God willing we will be starting a monthly e-zine soon, as well as completing What Christadelphians Believe. To be kept up to date sign up for our newsletter.
