Comment on [6/17/11 UPDATE] Two administrators, one biology professor, and one board member resign by David Bee.

@BobRyan:

I am most saddened by all this controversy about dogma and words because I can’t find much indication in the gospels that Jesus cared much for doctrinal concerns. His “Kingdom of God” that was here and now didn’t seem to have a list of fundamental beliefs.

I would be much more comforted by the notion of sola scriptura if I had any defensible reason to know exactly which words in which manuscript by which authors were “inspired”. I should also need to know if the inspiration was verbal as in the decalogue of Exodus 20 or did “the spirit of the Lord came upon me” type of inspiration.

Distributing a feloniously acquired recording may constitute abetting a crime making the distributor chargable under the statute.

What ethics let to the use of an illegally (felony) obtained recording to discipline faculty?

To read the entire text of the “terminated” La Sierra faculty lawsuit against the church leaders go to the website of the law firm.

The press release is there as well as the complete text of the filed complaint.

I was unaware till I read it that they had formally withdrawn their resignations prior to the board meeting to discuss the “firings”.

@Bill Sorensen:

One should be careful about comparisons to the first century church; there was wide variance in belief and practice. Thomas, Paul and Peter varied in their teachings. It took 300 years for the Bishops to cosolidate canon, practice and belief while excluding Christian sects which failed to conform. A few of these sects persist in the middle East. Arians, who deny the divinity of Christ, come to mind.

Unfortunately we do not teach church history widely in our colleges. EGW touches on this in Great Controversy.
