Comment on SDA Darwinians compromise key church doctrines by krissmith777.

@David Read:

God chooses to speak through human prophets despite their humanness and sinfulness. A prophet’s trustworthiness is not impeached by his humanness. Psalm 22 is a true Messianic prophecy notwithstanding David’s sinfulness. However, if a prophet conveys a false message, a message that she claims was from God but was not from God, then she is a false prophet.

Would it really rock your boat if she were? The faith of Christians should be in Jesus Christ, not in Ellen White. If it comes to a choice between Jesus Christ and Ellen White, then we are to chose Jesus.

When I was a lot more into the SDA doctrine, not even then did I put much emphasis on Ellen White, so when I started having doubts about her, my boat was not rocked at all.

@David Read:

No one says that the builders can “create with the word.” — God cannot be compared to builders.

Did God need a “power generator” to see what he was doing while he was creating the earth and the creatures in it before the forth day?– I would venture to say “no.”

Implying that God would probably need a power generator WOULD still work to demean…since it would set limitations on his creative ability.

Does God have limitations to his creative ability? No. Do human builders? Yes.

As I was reading this reply, I remembered one mocking comment that a skeptic of Genesis said. He said:

And God saw the light was good, because now he could see what he was doing.

Now I can see this with human builders… But I stand by my statement that it demeans God.

@Ken:

Let’s say we were in a room together and you were all teaching me the correct interpretation of Genesis. Let’s say each of your as teachers had a different, albeit slight, interpretation. Would it be wrong of me as a novice to ask if there was an empirical methodology to resolve the issue. Isn’t this what science does without the bias of faith or non faith?

It wouldn’t be wrong of you at all. In fact, I would encourage it.

@BobRyan:

I didn’t say that that Revelation 21 said that the earth had no light; just that it cannot work with the first three Creation days having both “morning and evening” because Rev 21:25 clearly says that in God’s glory there is NO night, and therefore no evening.
