Comment on LSU Removes Dr. Lee Grismer as Chairman of the Biology Department by Charles.

@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.

2013 Annual Council Votes to Change Wording of Adventist Fundamental Belief #6
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)

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.

I would not withhold the returning of God’s portion of my income(tithe) to the SDA church. However I will place my church membership in one that is being faithful to the fundamental SDA messages (they are still in the majority) and that is where I will pay my tithe.

In similar manner, I will support faithful SDA educational institutions (like SAU) and avoid those who are unfaithful. And I do support faithful SDA – related ministries: But not with tithe.

1 Kings 19:
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
…………
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

It seems to me that the real key to the problem under discussion here is the majority view of the constituency of LSU. What do the majority of SDAs in S CA believe regarding the topic of origins? If the majority is faithful to SDA belief, then the rest will fall into line.

Then arises another question: If the majority is not faithful to our historic message, what is being taught in our elementary and secondary schools? What is being preached in the churches? The answers to these questions could be sobering.

These are problems that are above our human abilities to tackle. These are problems that were foretold to us by a prophet raised by God for our end times. (There, I said it) Yes, she said that our church would appear as “about to fall”.

Selected Messages Book 2, Page 380

“Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ.”

There is abundant evidence that our organization has been infiltrated by those who would destroy us from within. This, we MUST put into God’s hands. Lift up your heads: the end is unfolding just as we have been told would happen.

Look at the church. Look at world events. Compare to what EGW wrote and understand that she was indeed inspired by God. Will you wait until there is a national Sunday law enforced by the threat of death to believe that She was given these messages by God to share with us? Do you not see the end unfolding before our very eyes?


Bringing the Real World to Genesis: Why Evolution is an Idea that Won’t Die—IV [A Review]
I have been visiting this forum for more than a year. I came here to see if, indeed, we actually do have (or did have) an SDA institution that, as an institution, is not upholding the true SDA message.

To be clear, the SDA belief is deeply in the world minority with respect to our belief in a literal 7-day creation week some 6 millenia ago. I can go a great many places on the internet to debate which way of origin (out of more than two) is accurate and true.

What seems to dominate this forum is a debate about origins. This debate overwhelms the topic of answering the question, “Just what is La Sierra teaching?” It seems that question has been answered and thus my question is answered.

But I have looked closely at some other SDA institutions, such as SAU (Collegedale). As best I can see, SAU is incredibly faithful to the literal Creation account as SDAs have always taught it. I believe that Andrews is faithful as well.

My faith in the SDA message is strong, as is my confidence in our SDA organization. To be sure, we have been attacked by Satan and his agents. But did we expect any different?

The signs are abundant and clear. We can see within and without our movement the incredible signs of the nearness of the miraculous coming of Jesus. He will take a harvest of redeemed from this earth. There will be NO ONE left alive here for 1000 years after that event, save the rebellious angels.

Look up, brothers and sisters. Pray without ceasing. Be ready. HE IS COMING SOON!
