WHO ARE WE?
The Adrian Bible Students are non-denominational students of the Bible
that hold to the basic teachings of Charles Taze Russell as outlined
in the six volumes of Studies in The Scriptures. We are NOT
part of the Jehovah's Witness organization.
WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?
1- Jesus Christ gave his life as a "ransom for all" 1 Timothy
2:6. That through his obedience to the Heavenly Father all of mankind will
receive the opportunity for eternal life in the 1,000 year millennial age
mentioned in Revelation the 20th chapter, and in Isaiah the 35th chapter
of the Holy Bible.
2- Jesus Christ is just who he said he was, the SON of God. He
was the FIRST creation of the Heavenly Father, "the beginning of the creation
of God." Revelations 3:14
3- There are two distinct salvations as taught in the Bible. One for
the general world of mankind during the "times of restitution of all
things" described in Acts 3:21. Those found worthy of life during the
1,000 year day of judgement, will be permitted to live forever on a perfect
earth (Isaiah 35th chapter) that has been restored to the paradise conditions
of the Garden of Eden. The other salvation described in the Bible is the
reward given to the "little flock," the true saints of God. This "144,000"
are mentioned in Revelation 20:6, "Blessed and holy is he who has part
in the first ressurection. Over such the second death has no power." These
members of the bride of Christ will become immortal partakers of the
"divine nature" 2 Peter 1:4. These will partake in the judging of
the world during the 1,000 year day of judgment. 1st Corinthians 6:2.
4- The nation of Israel and the ancient worthies of the old testament
have a unique relationship with God. Jerusalem will serve as the capitol
of the world in the earthly kingdom of God. (Jeremiah 32:6-11), (Revelation
21:10), (Micah 4:1-8). The re-establishment of Isreal as a nation in 1948,
after being desolate for over 1,800 years, is a fulfillment of prophecy and
is a sign of the soon to be established Kingdom of God.
5- The "Wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) Death is an unconscious
state in which there are no works or device. (Ecclesiastes 9: 5-10) The doctrine
of eternal torture advocated by most Christian sects is a grevious error
and comes as a result of confusing symbolic scriptures with literal texts.
"The soul that sins shall die." (Ezekiel 18:20)
6- The earth is not going to be destroyed with fire like so many Christians
wrongly believe. According to the Bible "The earth abides forever."
(Ecclesiastes 1:4)
7- God does not sanction earthly organizations. His call is
to individual Christians, and not religious denominations.
8- The "Antichrist" mentioned in the Bible is not an individual
man, but the office of the Pope, the self proclaimed "Head" of
the Universal Christian Church. The system of false religion, evil
doctrines, and religious genocides that have been brought about by the
Roman Catholic Church clearly identifies it as "Mystery Babylon
the Great" in Revelation 17:5.
9- Jesus Christ will reign during the earthly phase of the Kingdom
until he has destroyed all of his enemies. "The last enemy to be destroyed
is death." (1 Corinthians 15:26) Following this he will hand all things
back to the Father. At this point even he will be subjected to the Father.
(1 Corinthians 15:28)
