Comment on LSU responds to Michigan Conference by Greg Goodchild.
After reading all of these responses I say praise God for a voice of truth out of Michigan. Apparently, since I have not read the Michigan statement, the Michigan response addresses LaSierra’s confusion about the literal creation story. That is good. It is sad to hear the political response from Dr. Wiseby. No confession, and no intent to change.
The sad part of the story is that there is no response from the Souther California Conference, the Pacific Union, nor the General Conference. This issue should be addressed by these three entities. To not address it would convey that they tacitly approve of LaSierra’s position.
Another issue is that the lack of clarity on the 7 literal day creation not only attacks one of the pillars of the Seventh Day Adventist theology, but is also a direct attack on Jesus and on the Spirit of Prophecy, thus the traditions of man nullify Revelation 14:12 and directly attack the three angels messages of Revelation 14. Now is not the time for indecision now is the time that each person must step to the front to share their loyalty to Jesus and His message. To not do this is to testify to neutrality – the luke warm position of Revelation 3:16 and neutrality will be spued out of the mouth of God for there is no truth there.
Each person, wherever they are at, must stand for truth though the heavens fall. As this issue with LaSierra continues, which after all is simply the tip of the great iceberg that we must face again, each of us will be called to testify to our loyalty to Jesus in our own lives. I pray that we will stand like the 144,000 in this trial and all of the trials that are yet to come. May God have a people who will sanctify His holy name. Ezekiel 36:23
