Comment on Student reveals true intent of LSU’s biology seminar class by Sean Pitman.
The SDA Church might decline without those who really do believe in the doctrines of the Church, but I’m not sure about a school like LSU. I think that such a school might actually survive, even thrive, as it tends more and more toward a more secular atmosphere. Regardless, the SDA Church need not support any intitution that is publicly undermining its stated goals and ideals on the Church’s dime.

Sounds to me like LSU doesn’t mind if students hold SDA beliefs, as long as they don’t stand up for them when professors at LSU actively attempt to undermine these beliefs within the classroom and even within chapel services. Just have a student take a public stand for SDA beliefs when they are attacked in LSU classrooms and LSU is all up in arms… against the student?!

Excellent letter Louie. I’ve very proud of what you’ve done and are doing. You’ve taken on a difficult case and have gone through a great deal of stress and hardship because of it. I’m sure God is with you though and will bring you through with flying colors.
Thanks again…

I think that there can be a reasonable combination of the best of modern medicine as well as the best of healthful living and natural remedies such as exercise, sunlight, vitamin D, “forest bathing”, good sleep, vegan or at least a vegetarian diet, etc…

You opted not to get vaccinated during the pandemic, for whatever reason, but did not advise others to do the same. That’s fine. I think you probably increased your own risk a bit, but that’s far better than giving medical advice to others when you don’t know for sure that you’re right – especially for those who were at higher risk than you. It’s also good that you supported others who did choose to get vaccinated.
As far as SDA hospitals and organizations, I agree that there has been some drift from the ideal. I’m not happy that so many non-SDAs are hired to work in and to be leaders. I’m also disappointed that there isn’t a lot more emphasis, direction, and teaching with regard to healthful living. There are some who are doing this, like Dr. Roger Seheult. However, there does seem to be a lack of an organized or official emphasis on how to living healthful so as to avoid having to use so many medications for chronic conditions that are largely self-inflicted. Now, I do sympathize that quick fixed and pills are what most patients want. Most doesn’t want to give up their back health habits, so doctors often just give up and give their patients what they want. Still, this does not excuse the lack of effort along these lines in our hospitals and medical schools. Also, more should be done to spread the Gospel Message in our hospitals as well…

I’m fine with open dialogue, but that includes presenting and at least understanding things from the GC’s perspective and why the significant majority of SDAs and GC delegates believe that the GC did the right thing during the pandemic and with the original 2015 statement on vaccines.

So, it’s impossible to be a doctor who promotes the best of modern medicine as well as the best natural remedies and still be a follower of Jesus? Really? Not even Ellen White could be saved then…
