Doctrines and Thesis studies
Included in this section are a number of writings from the Christian Restoration Centre regarding it's beliefs, or doctrines, as well as studies on various subjects. Because of the size of most of the writings, which were originally published as books, we have provided PDF files for you to download, print and read at your own leisure. Not all of the books written by the CRC are provided on this website directly as yet. Some were written, over 30 years ago before computers were around. However, it is our goal to revise and provide these writings on this site as soon as it is possible. However, there is a website available which contains many of the older books, where the writings were typed out by volunteers onto HTML format. Many mistakes were made in the transition, but the site is there all the same for anyone wanting to read them. Click here for the link. These writings include the subjects of the devil, immortal soul, and the trinity.
Files provided on this site range in size from 1-3 megs. The books are also available to anyone interested in hardcopy. Simply email us with your details and we would be more than happy to send you a copy for a minimal fee. (Usually enough to cover printing and freight.)
PLEASE NOTE: All thesis studies supplied in PDF format were originally printed in A5. These will save to your computer in A4 size. Printing them out would result in pages with quite large font prints. If you wish to print these pages out, you may want to shrink the page/printing. Our apologies for this...

Doctrines
That old serpent called the devil and satan
There are many references in the Bible to the devil and satan, making it clear that a very real force is involved which tempts and induces people to think and act contrary to the will and way of God. No one claiming to be a Christian would doubt or question this. What is questionable however, is the origin, nature and identity of the devil, and there is a need in many circles for an open and deeper investigation into this aspect of the subject.

The nature and destiny of man
An exhaustive Thesis dealing with the proposition, that the normal theological view of the nature of man is astray from the teaching of scripture. The doctrine of the immortality of the soul is an untrue doctrine, which effectually prevents the believer of it from fully appreciating the truth concerning the work and teaching of Christ.
Such issues as what is a soul, what happens when we die, and what is hell, are but a few of the issues that are dealt with in this thesis.

The Apostasy
In spite of God personally manifesting Himself to the nation of Israel at Sinai and revealing Divine truths for them to believe and obey, they fell away from them and substituted them for pagan myths and superstitions. The Old Testament church, which Israel constituted, became apostate. It became a church which taught for doctrine vain traditions instead of the pure doctrine of God as revealed in the Scriptures. They ingeniously negated and neutralised the Word of God by their man-made philosophies.
And, according to warnings in the New Testament, the church of Jesus Christ was going to follow the same path, resulting in many becoming apostate. Certain statements reveal that an apostate Christianity would take shape in the form of a very powerful world-wide church which would oppose the Truth and persecute those who held to it. All the signs given in the Word of God point to the Roman Catholic Church as being that church. The reasons for believing this are presented in this book.

Who is the Beast?
The battle between Christ and the beast will be the battle of Armageddon and the events leading up to this involving the beast, will be clear and unmistakable signs of the second coming of Christ. It is not surprising therefore that those who eagerly anticipate this event take an interest in the signs leading up to it, and are curious to know the identity of the beast. The question is therefore: What answer does the Bible give to the question: “Who is the beast?”
