Questions others have
asked...
|
Q.
Why are you doing this?
|
A. Our
faith and belief in God makes us want to share His message
and Truth. We believe the Bible is inspired by God, and
what it teaches is right and good in directing our lives
and families. In Christ’s day, the apostles spread the gospel
message and the commandments of God. We, too, feel compelled
to make known to all who would like to hear, the wonderful
plan God has for the Earth. Our aim is to encourage you
to discover what the Bible says for yourself.
|
|
Q.
Who pays for this course?
|
A. All
the expenses are being absorbed by the Christadelphians.
The course and the materials provided to you are free.
|
|
Q.
Will I be asked to be “saved” or “join” the Christadelphians
at the end of the course?
|
A. No!
You will not be pressured during or at the completion of
the course. Our hope is that the course will encourage you
to draw your own conclusions about God and his plan. The
purpose of the course is to equip you with the necessary
tools to make your own decisions about what you have learned
from God’s Word.
