Rhododendron: Maybe you all should heed the advice of your prophetess Ellen White:“If a man makes a mistake in his interpretation of some portion of the Scripture, shall this cause diversity and disunion? God forbid. We cannot then take a position that the unity of the church consists in viewing every text of Scripture in the very same light. The church may pass resolution upon resolution to put down all disagreement of opinions, but we cannot force the mind and will, and thus root out disagreement.” (MR 11, 266)What do you think Sean?

Please provide the entire letter or manuscript, so we may read the paragraph and the surrounding material and know what Ellen White was specifically speaking about.

For example, if a Conference President one day happens to send out a memo stating, “I think the Sabbath is actually not important, and it is not necessary for pastors in my Conference to hold church services on Saturday”

Do you think we should “do nothing” and simply let any “new idea” be allowed to be taught, preached, and endorsed?

If you have a better idea on how to get this done, I’m all ears…

Agreed Sean! Other than contacting privately [edit] what other methods should be used?

Sean and company, I encourage you to keep on in your role of “watchmen on the wall.” We need to know in what direction to guide our children, and if certain places promote anti-SDA beliefs, I want to know in order to avoid sending my children to those places.I’ve already lost one child to evolution theory, and would hate to lose any more through ignorance of what is going on in our schools.

Thanks for sounding the alarm.

I agree completely. When our leaders do not do their job as “Watchmen” we need others, like Shane and Sean to step up. If our leaders had been doing their job, none of this would have been necessary.

BobRyan: “Ban them from online forums”?Is it your claim that SDA evolutionist professors teaching evolutionism in our schools are being banned from this forum?Is it possible that this is a valid charge to be made against EducateTruth?I have seen them invited to participate – but have not seen them banned.in Christ,Bob

I agree Bob. I would like Sean and Shane to personally INVITE the professors to come online to discuss their viewpoint, in a public forum, for all to comment on and reply to.
I would also like the leadership at La Sierra, La Sierra Board, the SECC, SCC,and the Pacific Union Conference to be invited to participate as well.

Thanks Sean for telling us the “rest of the story!” Very interesting!

What exactly does “more inclusive” mean? The Northern California Conference uses this term in their literature, without explaining what it really means.

@David Read, Can ET or Advindicate get an interview with somebody who actually knows, first hand, what went on with this AAA accreditation? What “deals” were made and by whom, why, and with what “strings” attached?


La Sierra University gets 3-year AAA Accreditation
@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.

Any insiders know WHY this happened? Was it part of a “deal” with AAA for accreditation?
