5. Why are the brethren of Christ called Christadelphians in our day instead of Christian?

• • Answer: Because multitudes are called Christian who do not believe the truth concerning Christ or obey his commandments. It has become, in fact, the name for a system of fable, and error that has risen up in the world in the place of truth, in fulfillment of the predictions of the apostles. Therefore, to be known as a "Christian" is not to be known as a believer of the truth. 2TI 4:4, ACT 20:30, 2PE 2:2, ISA 60:2, ISA 25:7, REV 17:2, REV 18:23 ⁴
