The Purifying of the Heavenly

The following articles were printed in the Berean Christadelphian Magazine around 1978, as a defense of the original Christadelphian position on the Nature and Sacrifice of Christ. These articles were a direct response to an article in the Tidings Magazine (a publication of Central Christadelphians) where the Berean Christadelphian position was labeled as "Andrewism" (Tidings, August/September, 1978, page 4).

The doctrine of the Nature and Sacrifice of Christ has been the principle issue dividing Christadelphians from the world.  Small wonder then, that certain Christadelphians who would have us again enslaved to the superstitions of the world would join with the world in their attacks against our clear and long standing positions on these things.
