Berean Church Of Christ
                              Restoration Reformation
luther 1
Martin Luther had many good character qualities but he was operating under an illusion that the Roman Catholic church was one and the same as Christ's original church we read about in the Bible. The Catholic church did not need to be "reformed," for one cannot begin with a corrupted organization and expect it to be uncorrupted by making some changes, and those under "protest." What was needed was a "Restoration Movement" to restore the original Church in his day. This is in fact what happened some 200 years later in the 1830s here in America. The problem as I see it is that the work of restoration is far from finished. This website is here to further this process to completion as we eagerly await the soon return of Jesus to bring His bride (the church) home to meet His Father.

Out of love for the truth and from a desire to elucidate it, hum-ble evangelist Stephen Jarrard, researcher of sacred theology, and ordinary lecturer therein at Rockmart Georgia intends to dispute on them in that place, therefore he asks that those who cannot be present and dispute with him orally shall do so in their absence by letter (or e-mail) in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
