Russell Gregory.
|
|
Alive In Jesus Christ.
F.J.Pearce.
Three subjects briefly dealt with are "Scripture teaching on Death", "Legally Dead to Sin but Legally Alive to Christ" and "In Adam and In Christ"
|
|
An Exposition of The Sacrifice of Christ.
This is an abridged version of Edward Turney's well known "Sacrifice of Christ" in which every endeavour has been made to keep his teaching intact and his testimony of Scripture unassailable.

A Ransom for All.
Herbert Taberner
If, as many people imagine, the punishment for Adam's sin was natural death, the death he and all his descendants die normally at the end of their life, there would appear to be no point in God using the same threat again seeing they would die naturally in any case. Yet in the 201 chapter of Genesis there is a record of the use of identical words by God to Abimelech. We read: elbow therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for the, and thou knelt live: and if thou restore her not know that thou shalt surely die (dying thou shalt die), thou and all flea are thinest Abimelech certainly did not think that this meant that he would die eventually at the end of his natural life,
but that he would come to an untimely end.

Behold The Man - Behold What Manner of Love.
Phil Parry.
No Scripture allows Jesus to be man's Representative. He was His Father's Representative; the Word made flesh - "I and my Father are one" "I am in the Father and the Father in me" "He that cometh from heaven is above all. And who he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth..."
|
|
"By Man Came Death" - What Death? Phil Parry. "I thank God I am wise now to the Apostle's
teaching of the Federal Principle which in Romans 5 makes things so clear which at one time seemed
confusingl" - the Author.
|
|
Eight Bible essays Various writers. Setting out the Gospel message. A second reading of the
Foreword is recommended
|
|
Ernest Brady to Dr H G Wood Dr Wood is the Author of "Belief and Unbelief Since 1850." While
Ernest Brady set out his case very clearly, the reply from Dr Wood was somewhat disappointing.
|
|
Ernest Brady to Dr W R Matthews The letter to Dr Matthews, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral is very
clear but the reply showed little hope of further discussion. However, also included is a letter from a certain
Mr Bath who considered Ernest Brady's letter to be sheer blasphemy!
|
|
"For The Wages of Sin Is Death" But... The Almost universally held belief of Christendom is that
the common natural death is the penalty for sin passed down from Adam. Mr Parry shows this understanding to be out of harmony with Scripture.
|
|
For What The Law Could Not Do... F.J.Pearce. We ask you, while considering this article, to
compare scripture with scripture and see if a more loving and harmonious plan of God's redemption of man
can be scripturally found.
|
|
Heresy or Truth. Which? E.Parker. If anyone doubts that Jesus Christ had a "Free
Life" then let them refute what Mr Parker has to say here. Mr Parker's arguments regarding
"Changed Flesh" and "Substitution" are incontrovertible.
|
|
How Are The Dead Raised? William Laing. Ever since "Anastasis" was published, the
Christadelphians have demanded of applicants for baptism, and also for "fellowship" that they believe in the
doctrine therein taught by Dr Thomas - that the righteous are to be "raised mortal" at the coming of Christ.
It therefore behoves all of that way of thinking, who may happen to see this examination of it, to enter a
defence of their action.
|
|
How many 'Deaths' Are There? Phil Parry. These are dealt with under five headings, "Legal or
Judicial death," "Dead in Trespasses and Sins," "Natural Death," "Symbolic Death" and "The Second Death"
|
|
'Mortal' and 'Immortal'. A & L Wilson. It is hoped that this booklet will help our
understanding of how these words are used in Scripture as distinct from common usage
|
|
Opposing the Doctrine of Original Sin. Russell Gregory. The purpose of this article is to show
that there was no change in the physical flesh of Adam and Eve which this Doctrine attributes to
them as a result of their transgression in Eden.
|
|
Progressive Revelations as to The Millennium, The Resurrection and The Judgment. H.Gratten-Guiness. D.D. From page 19:- "We conclude therefore that these two judgments cannot be the same... Judgment will be no more simultaneous than resurrection; both will take place at two grand epochs... the former will be a resurrection and judgment to life, the latter a resurrection and judgment unto condemnation. Whence then has arisen the exceeding prevalent opinion to the contrary? From the smallness of the finite mind that comprehends with difficulty the vast, far-reaching and complete designs of the Infinite, from the lack in us of the patient continuance of searching the Scriptures, from the irreverent neglect with which the last prophecy of the Bible is too often treated and from not giving it, even when studied, its due authority."
|
|
Sacrifice. This article was written by a Bible Student who recognised that Jesus was not in any way defiled and who sought to help his community to a better understanding of the purpose of God in sending His only Begotten Son into the world.
|
|
The Atonement. Ernest Brady. A simple, straightforward and scriptural explanation of the Atonement which takes in all Bible facts and presents them fairly and in an easily understood way so that a child can see the truth of it.
|
|
The Covenants of Promise. Ray Gregory. When we use the word 'covenant' it is possible we may think of an agreement between two parties, perhaps looking for a shared responsibility or at least a degree of mutual benefit, but in the Scriptures, God's covenants are the action of a sovereign God bestowing on His people a measure of grace according to their need.
|
|
The Gospel As We Understand It. Ernest Brady. A small pamphlet under three headings - "The Things Concerning The Kingdom of God," "The Things Concerning The Name of Jesus Christ" and "Things We Do Not Believe."
|
|
The Gospel in The Scriptures. Phil Parry. We have portrayed before us in Scripture, two Federal Heads, Adam and Jesus. Adam, the progenitor of the natural human race sold under sin, and Jesus, a new man, and beginning of a spiritual people who have symbolically died to Adamic federally imputed sin, through baptism into Jesus' death and risen to newness of life in Him. First that which is natural, afterward that which is spiritual.
|
|
The Gospel That Is Never Preached. Ernest Brady. A lucid and commonsense explanation of the work of God in His Son.
|
|
The Great mystery of The Christian Religion. Ernest Brady. It is clear that Jesus Himself saw His death as a sacrifice which He would make on behalf of His friends. How did He know this? What does it mean, and why did He make no attempt to avoid the awful ordeal He saw before Him? No believer can doubt that His death was in some way essential to salvation and yet no one appears really to now why it was necessary... What is the connection between Jesus dying on the Cross and our salvation?
|
|
The Resurrection and Judgment of the Saints. William Richmond. "I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness" It would not be much satisfaction to awake in a corruptible nature - such is the lot of the unfaithful in order that that may reap corruption.
|
|
The Usage and Meaning of "Muth Temuth" and "B'Yom. A. Broughton & Others. "for in the day (b'yom) that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (muth temuth)." The right understanding of Genesis 2:17 is necessary in order to understand all that follows.
|
|
The Work of God in Christ. O.E.H.Gregory. "It is well nigh impossible for us to entertain any hope of eternal life without an understanding and appreciation of the scriptural teaching of the Atonement.
Of all the teaching contained in Scripture the understanding of this subject carries more influence upon the character than any other."
|
|
