So many versions of the Bible...Why? #4 'A Challenging Words' With Jason Hensley Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

A @Christadelphians Video: **Ai Summary** [Inspiring] We, as Christadelphians, found this fourth instalment in the ‘So many versions of the Bible...Why?’ series absolutely outstanding and wonderfully revealing. Jason Hensley takes us on an insightful journey into the world of *hapax legomena* – words that appear only once in Scripture. This thought-provoking exposition explains why translation must constantly be revised, how our growing knowledge of ancient languages (like Ugaritic and Koine Greek) unlocks meaning, and why humility is essential when handling God’s Word. We explore the fascinating contrast between the simple vocabulary of John the fisherman and the technical terms of Luke the physician. The video also highlights the honest approach of the King James translators, who admitted uncertainty rather than dogmatising. If you’ve ever wondered why Bibles differ, this is a must-watch.**Chapters** 00:00 – Introduction 01:10 – Challenging words & translation philosophy 03:46 – What is *hapax legomena*?

Thought for April 25th. “JESUS … WILL COME IN THE SAME WAY AS YOU SAW HIM GO” Apr 25, 2026

Show notes

These words should be familiar to all Bible readers: they are the words of the “two men … in white robes” (a common way of describing angels) – it is what they said to the disciples as their astonished eyes watched their Lord ascend upwards “and a cloud received him out of their sight” [Acts 1 v.9-11]. We suspect it was no ordinary cloud, but like the cloud that Moses climbed up into on the mountain. (Exodus 24 v.16)

Countless generations of Bible believers have looked for their Lord to descend from heaven in their lifetime. The disciples had asked, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [v.6] and were told by their Lord they were to be “my witnesses in Jerusalem” – but ultimately that the witnessing was to be “to the end of the earth” [v.8] He had said this earlier, also on the mount of Olives, “this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” [Matt. 24 v.14]

The other sign which Jesus gave, which Luke also recorded, was that “Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” [21 v.24] Today, Jerusalem is constantly a centre of world attention – and the returned Jews have made it the capital of their resurrected country. The evidence is plain that the climax of the ages is near. But we know, and must emphasize that it was not for his disciples, then or now, to know exactly when. Notice again the answer of Jesus’ when the disciples asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [v.6] They were commissioned to be “my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria” [v.8]. It is for true believers today to complete that commission “…and to the end of the earth.”

Are you his disciple? Are you helping this commission to be carried out? If you are, you will be really looking for his return “in the same way (as the disciples) saw him go into heaven.”

As his disciple you will be following the examples given in the book of Acts ,which we have now started reading. Notice the way in which the Old Testament is often quoted as an essential part of that message. It tells us many details of the Kingdom Jesus will set up, also giving us examples of faithful service (and failures) as we are reading in the book of Deuteronomy.

Christadelphians Talk Podcast: Interview: Why Christadelphians are not a 'Cult'! with Chris Sales Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

A 'Christadelphians Talk' Production: Art and Chris discuss 'Cult's', but particularly the unwarranted claim that the Christadelphians are often styled as a Cult on social media and web searches. A claim vehemently denied by the Christadelphian community of Bible Believers. Is there any mileage in this claim? We examine the characteristics of what a Cult is and see if it fits the practices of the Christadelphian Community at large. Please visit https://originalgospel.blog/ as mentioned in the interview.

Thought for April 22nd. “VANITY OF VANITIES” Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Today we began reading Ecclesiastes – it says it was written by “the preacher, the son of David, king of Jerusalem [1 v.1]. We know this is Solomon and his first words are, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity”

What does vanity mean? The lexicon says the Hebrew word means, transitory, emptiness. Solomon is reviewing, apparently in his old age, all that he has accomplished in his life, he is overwhelmed by the feeling that in the final analysis it was all just “vanity” – he had accomplished nothing lasting.

He reflects, “all things are full of weariness” [v.8], observing, “my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge” [v.16] but he saw it as “a striving after wind”. [v.17]. Tomorrow we will read his words, “then I considered all that my hands had done and all the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity” [2 v.11]

We wonder to what extent today we will (or already are) look back on a lifetime of striving to make and then spend money – and see it in the end as simply “vanity”? Also, those who fill so much of their ‘spare’ time with tweeting and twittering and relaxation with TV and DVDs for entertainment will see the ultimate emptiness of time spent in this way?

In contrast we saw today in John’s Gospel the intensity of thought and meaning in the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. As it reaches its climax his mind is centred on his disciples, “Holy Father keep them in your name … that they may be one, even as we are one.” [17 v.11] Unity of mind, how wonderful!

Jesus continues, “they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth” [v. 17-19].

God’s word is “truth,” it alone reveals the ultimate meaning of life and takes us – in thought – beyond “this world”.. Sanctify means to “be set apart” from the world so that the main focus of our minds – is on God and his ways and what is really true – in an everlasting sense. It is a truth we then take into our hearts and it becomes part of us.

Finally, how meaningful are the words of Jesus to Pilate, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world – to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice” [18 v.37]. Sceptically Pilate asks, “What is truth?” [v.38]. Let us not be sceptical but read and “listen” to what we read and aim to fully possess “the wisdom from above” (James 3 v.17) so that our lives are “sanctified in truth.”

Introducing the Christadelphian Community of Bible Believers! Apr 19, 2026

Show notes

A Christadelphian Video Production:Follow links to see what others say about the Christadelphian Community.The BBC “Christadelphians aim to get as close as possible to the faith and practice of the early Christian church. They describe themselves as “a lay community patterned after first century Christianity”.Wikipedia “Basing their beliefs solely on the Bible, Christadelphians differ from mainstream Christianity in a number of doctrinal areas.”There must be many people who feel that there is something outstandingly significant about the person and the teaching of Jesus Christ. Yet when they survey “Christianity”, both in its history and its modern forms, they find a wide variety of churches and communities, all with their differing foundations, teachings and practices. Feeling bewildered by the existence of so many groups claiming the name “Christian”, they may well give up the quest for “the truth” as hopeless.We draw the attention of the interested enquirer to the existence of a community of believers in Christ, calling themselves “Christadelphians”, organized in groups found throughout the world. Wherever they exist they have a fellowship founded upon an agreed basis of beliefs. Fundamental to their faith is the principle that what Christ and his apostles taught in the first century was truth, and it is still the truth today. The Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are their sole authority.CHRISTADELPHIANVIDEO.ORG, a worldwide collaboration by Christadelphians to help promote the understanding of God's Word to those who are seeking the Truth about the Human condition and God's plan and Purpose with the Earth and Mankind upon it.Christadelphianvideo.org is dedicated in establishing just how far removed today's mainstream Christianity is from the 'True Christian Teachings' of the 1st Century Apostles.You can follow us online at..Some of our other services..#1 Our Main site... https://cdvideo.org#2 Our podcast on Podbean... https://cdvideo.org/podcast#3 Our podcast on Apple...https://cdvideo.org/podcast-apple#4 Our podcast on Anchor...https://cdvideo.org/truth-talk#5 Our facebook...https://facebook.com/OpenBibles#6 Our Whats App... http://cdvideo.org/WhatsApp#7 Our Instagram... http://cdvideo.org/Instagram#8 Our twitter... http://cdvideo.org/twitter#9 Our YouTube Channel... http://cdvideo.org/youtube#10 Our Audio site Scripturescribe.com... https://cdvideo.org/mp3
