Comment on La Sierra University Granted Window to Show its Faithfulness to Church’s Creation Belief by Charles.
I won’t say anything else about “jeering” etc. Everyone can read the blog and draw their own conclusions. I may be guilty of some harsh comment as well and I do not mean to offend anyone. I am sorry if I have.
Having said that, I still believe that those who cannot accept miraculous creationism (outside of our limited “scientific” understanding) should not be teaching in SDA institutions.
The SDA church has strong fundamental beliefs and is mainly supported by people who wholly embrace them as core values. The church is a relatively small refuge from a world who has embraced a plethora of notions about the realities of how we got here, what we are here for, and where we go from here. We can tend to be a bit protective of the fundamentals, and I think we should be. It cuts to the core of our reason for existence.
Pretty much all of Adventist institutions were founded upon these values by sacrificial giving from people who embraced a calling to finish the work of God upon this earth so that He can come back. Any of the parts of this message (including the first 7-day week about 6000 years ago) are integral to the whole message.
SDAs are loving people and wish all people to embrace the message that is the reason for organizational existence. But if you join, please embrace the SDA message and don’t come in with the idea of corrupting it. (said with love) If you hold to ideas about “theistic evolution” (broadly speaking), you are not embracing this message. Simple fact. Is this not an obvious conclusion? Is there a better way it should be said?
In Christian love –
Charles
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I am missing my agnostic friend, Ken.
I hope he read the chapter. He promised.

Happy Sabbath, again. The last day of another week – just as it has been since the week of Creation.

I just checked the news. No earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tidal waves that were worth mentioning. Just a few wars and rumours of wars.
Guess it was just a quiet day – unusual this near the second coming of Jesus.

No matter how the FBs are worded, there will be contention about it.
Anyone who has fully embraced this message realizes that the days to Jesus’ coming are few. Thus it behooves us to be about the work of proclaiming the unique ADVENTIST message to a world that is facing impending doom.
May I suggest the sermons of Jeremiah Davis. (can be found on Youtube)

@gene fortner: I don’t think anyone really knows what powers were being exercised on 9/11. Clearly the airliners were involved.
It was an event that changed the world in ways that top-down powers would yearn for.
No point in speculation… I think Veith probably was mistaken to do that deep dive and it seems that he has quietly backed away from it.
The thing we must focus on is to “Turn your eyes upon Jesus….” Clearly, we are in “the last days”.

@David Read: I find Veith’s “theorizing” regarding “conspiracies” to be spot on and on topic.
There is a great “conspiracy” – otherwise known as “The Great Controversy”. It is the ultimate reality of our rebellious little world today. AND it is the foundation of all of these other problems we deal with.
AND, IT WILL BE ENDING SOON!

Evidence that God is in control. LSU could become a beacon of light shining on the truth of our world an how we came to be here. That is as it should be.

I believe we are involved in a Mount Carmel experience. As this world is hurling toward the great climactic “END”, we will see more and greater attacks against the truth by the great deceiver. The prophets of Baal will become bolder and more feverish. (Remember that the prophets of Baal on Mt Carmel were much from within the nation of Israel.)
What a day of reckoning it will be when “at such a time as we think not” that great cloud approaches this world. The signs today are loud and bold. Jesus is coming. Spread the word.
