Notes from the Pioneers
This category contains notes and paragraphs taken from the writings of the pioneer Christadelphian brethren. As similar items that are pertinent and relevant to the aims of Qodesh are encountered during reading and study they will be added to this category, God willing. Therefore, these items will deal primarily with fellowship and holiness within the ecclesia to highlight the gravity of these topics.
It is hoped that the occasional longer item will also be included but, because of their increased length, will be placed in one of the articles categories.
The sources of these items will vary of course, but is likely to be mainly The Christadelphian magazine and books published in the early years of the Christadelphian community. Please visit this category again soon to check for new items.
The Burnt Offering
- Details
- Written by: Robert Roberts
- Category: Notes from the Pioneers
That burnt offering should be required in the absence of particular offence shows that our unclean state as the death-doomed children of Adam itself unfits us for approach to the Deity apart from the recognition and acknowledgment of which the burnt offering was the form required and supplied. It was “because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel”, as well as “because of their transgressions in all their sins”, that atonement was required for even the tabernacle of the congregation (Lev. 16:16Lev. 16:16 Leviticus 16: 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.).
