Bourton-on-the-Water is, to me, a most idyllic English village. Were England not Englandistan, with no free speech, I’d move there asap.

So, they recognize God and Christ, but not the Holy Spirit?

If a denomination denies the Trinity, it is not Christian.

The Christadelphians are a cult, at best. Like the JWs or the Mormons.

They are not Christian.

From "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life", Mister Blackitt, a devout Protestant, rails against the Catholics over-populating his town:

"When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas..."

I'd never heard a penis referred to as a 'John Thomas' before or since, and thought it must be some English thing. Now I wonder if Christadelphianism's John Thomas is who they were talking about.

If they aren’t Trinitarians, they’re Unitarians.

Thanks. It is very interesting what sola scriptura wrought.

Once humanity opened up the flood gates where each person would interpret completely on their own the sacred texts, we soon ended up with myriad interprtations.

Even during Luther’s lifetime we had anti-trinitatians like the brethren.

The Christadelphians are an interesting sect

the Christadelphians have historical ties to the Adventist movement. John Thomas had connections with early Adventists, and the group drew some initial support from Adventist circles in the mid-19th century, sharing millennial expectations rooted in the Millerite movement’s “Great Disappointment” of 1844.

However, they developed as a distinct denomination, differing from groups like the Seventh-day Adventists in beliefs such as nontrinitarianism and rejection of a supernatural devil.

Christadelphians base their beliefs entirely on the Bible, which they consider the inspired, infallible word of God.

They are a nontrinitarian, millennial Christian group emphasizing personal Bible study, adult baptism, and a literal interpretation of scripture

They saw the Bible as saying Jesus Christ was a created, mortal man subordinate to God with no pre-existence,

” They base their beliefs solely on the Bible, rejecting the Trinity and the immortality of the soul,”

THAT makes no sense at all.
