Comment on Back to Square One… by Chris Chan.
@David Read:
David Read said “I don’t think Dan Jackson would be inclined to make that argument, even assuming that he is on our side in this controversy. He comes from Canada, where believing Christians are very much a cowed and intimidated minority, and I imagine he has imbibed the timorous mentality that goes along with that.”
I am a Canadian and I think Bro. David has insulted us Canadian SDA Christian. I would invite him to come to Canada (stay at my place) and visit with us and worship with us and then I would invite him to reassess us again. To made such a broad stroke comment about the many faithful SDAs in our great country, who up hold dearly our believe in Gen.1 & 2 as being the only way life originated on earth is, to be charitable about it, not warranted.
BTW I do agree that Pr. Jackson, who is a Canadian, is being Political and I myself have had “words” with him when he was our Union Prez., regarding topics that are contentious and he had taken a position that was popular among some in Nth America but contrary to church policy. When confronted, he had to admit that he was speaking his own opinion only and not stating church policy even though he was making these statements in our official Union paper. So, yes, many of our leaders do look for political ways out of sticky issues so we need to be alert.
Blessings to you and yours,
Chris. CHAN

Common Arguments Against a 7-Day Creation Week
I just want to add my appreciation to you Sean, for you excellent response to Dr. Hoehn. I can never do as good a job as you . Thanks again.
Your comments needs to be read as widely as possible. Might I suggest that you post all your responses on Adventist Today also so that readers there will get the full benefits of your efforts.
Is La Sierra University Legally Distancing Itself from the Church?
Wesley may be right but to a non-legal mind like me, if one isn’t “aligned”, then it must be “diverging”. Perhaps to hit all the bases, it should be “aligned AND congruent”!!! Grrrrr!
Is La Sierra University Legally Distancing Itself from the Church?
The official title of the Union is “Pacific Union Conference of SDA”. The proposed changes have dropped the phrase “Conference of SDA” but have maintained it when referring to local conferences such as for Arizona. Why not be consistent?
I did like section 6.98a where it states that the board should run the university so as to be “aligned with the goals, philosophy, and objectives of the SDA Church.” All that is needed is to see that the policy is followed.
Another Student’s Perspective of La Sierra University
I want to thank this person for his report. It certainly backs up Mr Bishop’s story.
I now want Pr. Graham, the Chairman of LSU Board, to read this report and tell us what he intends to do about it.
To me, LSU is doing the classic “bait and switch” trick when it advertizes itself as a SDA university. It is deceitful to be doing so.

@Larry:
Larry, don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. Just get rid of those who teach and and support that which is contrary to the 28 SDA fundamental beliefs.
