  1. Thought for May 12th. ““TO WHOM I BELONG”

    Thought for May 12th. ““TO WHOM I BELONG”

    Today we read the dramatic account of Paul’s experience of shipwreck on the way to Rome. It is a first person account as Luke, the author of the book of Acts, is with him.  The point which particularly caught our attention was Paul’s way of talking to the crew when they were in utter desperation and the loss of the ship with everyone on it seemed certain.  We read, “When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.” [27 v.20]  It was then that Paul stood up and said, “I urge you to take heart for there will not be loss of life among you, but only of the ship.  For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship.”{v.23] Note that Paul, in referring to his God, whom no one except he and Luke would know.  Many gods of human imagination would have been worshipped by the Romans, Greeks and others in the crew; Paul says “the God I worship” and then significantly adds, “to whom I belong.”  We are sure none of the idol worshippers viewed their Gods in that way! Do we view our God in that way? Consider the point Paul makes to the Corinthians after reproving them for their sexual and other immoralities (I Cor.5). “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?  You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” [1 Cor. 6 v.19,20]  Those who are baptised commit their lives into the service of God and of Jesus Christ His son. In the same way, the people of Israel under Moses entered into a covenant with the God that had delivered them, they belonged to him!  Moses had told them, “For you are a people holy to the LORD your God.  The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession” [Deut. 7 v.6]   Sadly, most of the people in the generations that followed failed to have the sense of belonging to God possessed by those entering the promised land.   If we make no commitment to belong to God, then we belong to the world – a world which is facing an awesome shipwreck!.

    1. Thought for May 11th - “THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN A CORNER”

    Things done in a corner are concealed from general knowledge. It seems evident that Luke, the writer of the book of ACTS was with Paul on some of his travels. Ch. 27 v.1 shows he was with him as he travelled after his appeal to Caesar (v.1,3,4 &c “we” experienced this and that). The defense of Paul before King Agrippa and the Roman Governor is given in such detail it is evident it is a personal report. Festus, the Roman Governor struggles to comprehend what Paul is saying, he desires to write a report to Caesar detailing the nature of the accusations against him. Paul declares, “To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.” [26 v.22,23] Festus is confused saying, “Paul, you are out of your mind.” Paul responds, “I am not out of my mind … I am speaking true and rational words … for this has not been done in a corner” {v.24-26] The events of nearly 2,000 years ago are powerfully evidenced by history – not just the Bible text – but in Roman history. Alongside this we can put our reading today in Deuteronomy 28. Moses sets out the blessings the nation will have if they truly serve God when they enter the promised land. The first generation did so – as the book of Joshua we are about read shows.! But the latter part of our chapter details the curses that would come upon them for turning their back on God – ending with an awesome description which had its ultimate fulfilment in the Holocaust 70 years ago. “The Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and a languishing soul. Your life will hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread …” [v.66,67] Some try to deny the Holocaust but “this has not been done in a corner” What position do we take? There is no neutral position! Jesus said, “whoever denies me before me, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.” [Matt. 10 v.33]

    So many versions of the Bible...Why? #5A 'Textual Criticism'

    A @Christadelphians Video: **Ai Summary**[Inspiring] Have you ever wondered why modern Bibles sometimes differ—or even appear to miss out verses? In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional video, we tackle a subject rarely discussed among believers: **textual criticism**. This is the fifth instalment of our series on Bible versions, and we’re diving into the vital difference between *textual criticism* and *higher criticism*.We begin by explaining why translators must care about which manuscript they use—because although God inspired the Scriptures, we still have to ask: which manuscript best preserves that inspired text? Then we reveal why many believers feel uneasy when they first hear the term “criticism.” That unease often comes from confusing textual criticism with **higher criticism**—a deeply flawed 19th‑century German movement rooted in anti‑Semitism, which denies inspiration and tears the Bible apart verse by verse.Higher criticism claims Isaiah was written by two authors (or more), that Daniel was composed after the events it prophesies, and that we cannot be sure Jesus even spoke the parables recorded in the Gospels. As Christadelphians, we reject that approach entirely. The New Testament itself quotes from both parts of Isaiah and calls Isaiah the prophet. We believe the Bible is inspired, harmonious, and trustworthy.This insightful presentation clarifies that **textual criticism is not higher criticism**. Instead, it is the careful, reverent work of comparing manuscripts to recover the most accurate wording of God’s Word. Outstanding teaching like this equips you to understand why translations differ—without losing confidence in Scripture.**Chapters** 00:00 – Introduction 01:10 – What Is Textual Criticism? 02:19 – Why We Feel Uncomfortable 03:01 – The Problem of Multiple Manuscripts 04:26 – Higher Criticism Defined 05:00 – Origins and Anti‑Semitism 06:32 – Literary History vs Biblical Claims 07:25 – The “Second Isaiah” Theory 09:28 – Higher Criticism Rejects Prophecy 11:56 – New Testament Affirms One Isaiah 13:05 – Higher Criticism on Jesus’ Parables 15:07 – The Jesus Seminar’s Quest 17:22 – Assumed Contradictions in Acts and Paul 18:56 – Why Higher Criticism Fails 19:19 – Conclusion: Trusting the Inspired Text**Bible Verse Category** 📖 John 12:38 📖 Romans 10:20 📖 Isaiah 53:1 📖 Isaiah 65:1**Tags** Bible versions, textual criticism, higher criticism, Bible inspiration, manuscript evidence, Isaiah prophecy, Jesus Seminar, documentary hypothesis, Christadelphian, Bible study, apologetics, scripture trustWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

  7. Thought for May 10th. “AS HE REASONED ABOUT …”

    2 DAYS AGO

    Thought for May 10th. “AS HE REASONED ABOUT …”

    What do we/you reason about? This question is prompted by verses in today’s 24th chapter of Acts. The arrest of Paul which had been predicted by the prophets in the early church possessed by the gifts of the Spirit, had now taken place in Jerusalem. Paul is brought to Caesarea and kept in custody by the Roman Governor Felix who has a Jewish wife and “having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way” [v.22] (‘the way’ being the earliest phrase used to describe followers of Christ), the Governor is not willing to aid Paul’s accusers, instead he arranged for him “to have some liberty” [v.23] and then, when his wife came, “he sent for Paul and heard him speak about the faith in Christ Jesus. And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgement Felix was alarmed …” [v.24,25] If someone like Paul was alive today and we heard them reasoning about such things – would they alarm us? Or would we welcome such reasoning? Would we make it part of our reasoning and reason for living? Don’t we make our answer rather obvious by the extent to which we read the Bible – and put what we read into practice.

  8. Thought for May 8th. “SPEAKING TWISTED THINGS”

    Thought for May 8th. “SPEAKING TWISTED THINGS”

    Today’s readings.. (Deuteronomy 25), (Song of Solomon 5), (Acts 20) In today’s 20th chapter in Acts we have the account of a long conversation Paul had with “the elders of the church” [v.17] at Ephesus whom he called to see him at the port of Miletus.  He told them then “that they would not see his face again’ [V.38]. It was obviously an intense discussion.  He tells them,  “I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock …  I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.  Therefore be alert …”  [v.27-31] It is natural for most of us to want to try to avoid all problems, all controversy, to ignore it if we can.   But what does that achieve?  Does it bring us closer to God and to Christ?  We have many lessons on this from Christ himself in the gospels.  Of course the circumstances in Ephesus are different, it is an entirely Gentile community – but what is not different is human nature – and the only solution to that is the development of a genuine Christ-like frame of mind.  The foundation ingredient to do that, especially for us today, is the meditative reading of God’s word. Bible reading is the only way to untwist things that have been twisted.   With what intensity did Paul seek to do this! We might think he did this by intense study, reasoning and constructive argumentation, and we see some of this in his letter to them – but what does the text in Acts say?   What is the point he makes in reminding them of the spirit of mind he showed when he was among them?   “…. Be alert  remembering that for three years I did not cease night and day to admonish everyone with tears.”  [v.31]  A most challenging example to follow. The lesson is clear – academic reasoning is not the major part of dealing with “twisted things”.   Paul left Timothy at Ephesus [1 Tim 1 v.3] and he ends his letter to him by saying, “O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions …”  We must do the same
