XVII “Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth . These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard” (Gen. 9:18-20, NASB). “Perhaps no biblical plant so typifies the land and its people as does the vine. Vineyards, vines and wines are mentioned throughout the Bible. The first vineyard encountered is that planted by Noah after the flood (Genesis 9:20), presumably in the Mount Ararat region. Remarkably, it is in this very area, near the southern end of the Caspian Sea, that many botanists regard the cultivated grape as having arisen from its wild ancestors” (F.

  • Christadelphians Profile
    Christadelphians By Rebecca Zurbrick and Tim Martin Founder: Dr. John Thomas (1805-1871) Founding Date: 1864 Location of groups today: major areas: U.S., Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Minor areas: Central and South America, Africa, Pacific Rim, and Eastern Europe Official Publications: “The Herald of the Future Age” was a periodical written by Thomas in 1848. He also wrote a book called “Eipis Israel- An Exposition of the Kingdom of God.” Today there are many publications produced by the Christadelphians. The periodicals include: The Christadelphian, The Christadelphian Tidings of the Kingdom of God, The Bible Magazine, The Testimony Magazine, The Gospel News, Faith Alive!, Lookout, The Christadelphian Advocate. Organizational structures: There are no levels of organization, although thoroughly congregational. The highest level would be considered the ecclesia (the local church) which is normally led by the rotation of more mature members. They are called presiding brethren, managing brethren, secretary and treasurer, and superintendent of the Sunday school. Communication occurs through the sharing of periodicals, small groups, travel, mail, and other various forms. Schools: Texas Christadelphian Camp and Conference Center, Terra Nova Bible School (Newfoundland, Canada), and the Russian Bible School. Unique terms: They use “ecclesia” instead of “church,” “fraternal gatherings’ which is a group that meets to spiritually up-build the members, further their enlightment in the Scriptures, and for the instruction of the public. Other names: The Berean Christadelphians, The Dawn Christadelphians, Brothers of Christ, Thomasites. HISTORY John Thomas was born in Hoxton Square, London, on April 12th, 1805 and studied medicine at an early age in Chorley and London.1 During his migration to America in 1832, the ship he was on sprung a leak.

  • Christadelphian Treasury
    CHRISTADELPHIAN TREASURY FORMING A COLLECTION OF EXTRACTS FROM WRITINGS EXHIBITING "THE TRUTH" IN OPPOSITION TO THE DOGMAS OF PAPAL AND PROTESTANT CHRISTENDOM BY Dr. JOHN THOMAS, ROBERT ROBERTS, AND OTHER WELL-KNOWN CHRISTADELPHIANS COMPILED, DIGESTED OR WRITTEN BY FRANK G. JANNAWAY Author of "Christadelphian Answers1', "Without the Camp" "Palestine and the Powers", etc. A REPRODUCTION OF AN ORIGINAL EDITION BY heriaLD p 4011 BOLIVIA 1 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77092 PREFACE. " The Christadelphian Treasury " seeks to be of real service to Christadelphians in re-stating and re-empha- sising Christadelphian Truths· Such an aim is justifiable at any time; in these days it is an urgent necessity in view of threatening dangers. In this respect the present volume claims to be especially " A Book for the Times"· An esteemed brother—J. C. Bruce, of Jersey City, U.S.A.—reminded us forcefully at a recent London Fraternal Gathering that " we have an inborn disposi- tion to fall away from the Truth". To counteract this disposition, individual self-examination and ecclesial exhortation are essential if purity of doctrine and con- sistent conduct are to be maintained. Thanks to the mercy of God, Apostolic Truth and its essential correlative Apostolic Practice, have been re- discovered through the instrumentality of Dr. Thomas and Brother Robert Roberts in these latter days of the Gentiles. Their task was one of extraordinary difficulty —how difficult the published record of their lives and work gives some indication. But they succeeded; they consolidated the Truth they had re-discovered; they crystallized their strenuous labours in convenient form in the writings they left on the Truth—an incomparable library of the Truth's literature which has been second only to the Bible itself in the work of enlightenment in PREFACE these days.
