Comment on Creation Debate in the Seventh-day Adventist Church by Ron Stone M.D..
Dear RonCorrect me if I’m wrong, but didn’t I ask you about 2300 days?
Treat me as a poor, perplexed agnostic who wonders why sometimes days mean days and sometimes they mean years to fine folks who interpret the Bible literally.Frankly I have no reasoning why a literal interpretation of the Bible would interpret days differently. For consistency purposes I’d be quite happy to interpret every reference to a day in the bible as the same period of time. You?Regards
KenYours
I asked you whether you had a problem with the days in Genesis as being actual days. Do you? I don’t. Please explain to us why you might or would have a problem.
BTW, I do not believe in the straw-man “literal” argument made by liberals, or agnostics such as yourself, regarding interpretation. The difference between “literal” and plain reading is described very well by Sam Pipim in his book, “Receiving the Word” p. 167. Please read this, if you have access, and it will explain the difference between these two concepts.

And as for the fact that his solution is also that of our Lib SDA – “Seventh-day Darwinists� – Well Ken has the defense “I am an agnostic†but what excuse do the seventh-day darwinists have?in Christ,Bob
What excuse? Well, I’ve heard them say that they have a more recent “Present Truth.” Much more recent than that ancient backwater Ellen White!

Warren, Ken knows there is no “double standard.” He persists in trying to use the straw-man argument, used by many liberal SDA’s, that since everything in the bible may not be “literal” then NOTHING is literal.
As an “agnostic” Ken wouldn’t really believe anything in the bible anyway, since God is not actually “proven” to exist. If I didn’t believe someone even existed, why would I want to believe anything He supposedly “spoke” either directly or indirectly?

The part that should be impressive to an agnostic – is that the Dan 2, Dan 7 and Dan 8 predictions are made centuries before the events themselves take place.in Christ,Bob
Bob, Don’t unbelievers have a term to dismiss and marginalize all that prediction and prophecy stuff? Vaticinium Ex Eventu?

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
