After 165 years of failed predictions Christadelphians are confident that they understand prophecy! |
But while theoretical physicists think of experiments by
which their theories can be falsified or confirmed, theoretical
Christadelphians are not constrained by any sort of reality check.
For example at the recent "Rugby Prophecy Day"
theoretical Christadelphianists boldly speculated whether the latest reports
from Debka File, events in Syria, global seismic and volcanic activity, rough
seas and closed ATM machines in Cyprus means that Christ's return after two thousand years of
absence is finally about to take place.
Or consider the latest from the CMPA as outlined by
theoretical Christadelphianist Andrew Bramhill in this month's Christadelphian
magazine:
"For over one
hundred years The Christadelphian has had a section dedicated to The Signs of
the Times. During that time great events have occurred in world history. During
that time Bible readers have viewed these events, from wars to natural
disasters, to developments with Israel, and have been able to proclaim with
certainty that "The most high rules in the kingdoms of men." Today
events move at such a pace that few among us doubt that the return of Christ is
near. It seems every newspaper item, every TV report in some way reflects Bible
prophecy fulfilled. This however has been the case for generations, with
many of our forbearers believing that Christ's return was imminent in their
day." - (Emphasis mine.)
This takes us to the crux of what theoretical
Christadelphianism is all about. For approximately one hundred and sixty five
years since Dr John Thomas got off the boat in America, theoretical
Christadelphianists have been theorising about Bible prophecy and the return of
Christ and they have achieved a perfect score of being 100% wrong 100% of the
time. Nevertheless, Andrew Bramhill remains convinced that this track record "Proclaims with certainty that "The most
high rules in the kingdoms of men" and Roger Long was confidently able
to assure the Rugby Christadelphians that Christ would return in the near
future.
Lawrence Kraus was recently asked if String theory was true and
he responded that the answer was a resounding .......... "maybe." Let
theoretical Christadelphians everywhere take note.
