Christadelphians rejoice!

I have observed in my lifetime a few Christadelphians who possess the "I'm the only one left" mentality.  I'll call them the Exclusive Christadelphians.


We're the only Christians who reject the contrived doctrine of the Trinity.
We're the only Christians who reject the strange mythological burning hell.
We're the only ones who recognize the role of Israel in history and prophecy.


Well, on the first two, I remain as befuddled as those Exclusive Christadelphians.  Despite the complete lack of Scriptural evidence for the first two above doctrines (contrived before there was such broad access to the Scriptures), the third requires a second look by Christadelphians.


Authors such as Joel Rosenburg, websites such as WorldNetDaily, Jnewswire, etc. all indicate the importance of Israel in the end times.  There are many Christian non-Christadelphians today who are constantly evaluating the state of world politics and Israel's place in it.  Many of these evaluations are spot-on and Scriptural.  Some are not.  How are Christadelphians to react?


The Exclusive Christadelphian has built a wall around himself which will accept no outsiders.  This "if I didn't think of it myself, it's no good" mentality is destructive to that person.  It is a depressing mindset not unlike that of Elijah -

1Ki 19:14 He answered, "I have been very zealous for Adonai the God of armies; because the people of Isra'el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I'm the only one left, and they're after me to kill me too."


To which Yahweh replies -


1Ki 19:18 Still, I will spare seven thousand in Isra'el, every knee that hasn't bent down before Ba`al and every mouth that has not kissed him."

Rejoice, you Christadelphians!  The way the political world is turning is bringing to the light many folks who before were content in their comfortable Christian existence.  Because more Christians are seeing the deception of our nation's leaders and this world's religious leaders, they are taking their faith into their own hands - praying, seeking guidance from God, reading their Bibles.  As this happens, many are finding there is Truth that they were not aware of before!  Many are questioning their long-held beliefs in the contrived doctrines passed down by the Catholic Church.  What is our reaction?


The Exclusive Christadelphian likes to be a Big Fish in a Small Pond.  As these new fish enter the pond, the Exclusive Christadelphian begins to flex his muscles and try to edge these new members out, for no reason other than to maintain his own status.  The Real Christadelphian has always ONLY rejoiced over the truth.  Let's rejoice now that the pond is growing - surely a sign that the harvest is ripening!  Let's conform our wishes to those of our Father in Heaven - that all may come to know the Truth!


Jas 3:14 But if you harbor in your hearts bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, don't boast and attack the truth with lies!

1Ti 2:4 He wants all humanity to be delivered and come to full knowledge of the truth.

2Co 13:8 For we cannot act against the truth, only for it.

3Jn 1:3-4 For I was so happy when some brothers came and testified how faithful you are to the truth, as you continue living in the truth. (4) Nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that my children are living in the truth.
