Comment on Michigan Conference accused of shunning LSU choir students by Holly Pham.

@ Bill Eichner, Well spoken! The denunciation of Ellen White is one of most prominent ideas of many progressive SDA’s.

I’m actually surprised that some SDA Church hasn’t “substituted” Sunday for Sabbath yet. After all, we would probably get more support and “confirmation” from the other Protestant churches, wouldn’t we?

Is that something that each Conference or SDA Church can decide for themselves?

BV: @Rev 14:12: @Emk: We also seem to feel it’s “our” school. How many times have I heard it referred to this way. The school belongs to God and He is the chief Administrator. He has given us careful and explicit instructions on how He wants His schools run. We are to teach and operate His instituions to HIS standards not ours. The Old Testament, if studied, should teach us of the sad results of going independent of God. Our problems are still the same as the Israelites thousands of years ago. Hungering after the way of the world. Trying to blend with them while keeping a toe-hold on God. I’ve heard different ones muse over what the “big deal” is with idols, anyway. It wasn’t the idol worship per se that drew. It was the desire to be like the idolaters around them. The idols have changed today but the desires haven’t. Today, as then, it’s always the tender few who are willing to stand firm in the face of falsehood, anger and accusations.

I also agree that La Sierra belongs ultimately to God. However, how do we explain the constant and progressive deterioration of our SDA Bible-based standards there, over the past 21 years? And, without any correction or seemingly any concern by the administration, Board, or the Pacific Union Conference.

Steve Mahan:
Why doesn’t the Advent Review write update articles warning fellow Adventists what going on at LSU.

Even if nothing more than were keeping and eye on the situation and will keep the members updated.

This same question has been in my mind for many years. Our Church papers do a horrible job of keeping members aware of what is going on IN our SDA Church.

Is this just not of any interest, priority, or value for them? I am thankful we have private members like Shane and Sean that have stepped up!

@Rev. 14:12, Well, since Conferences can simply ignore General Conferences votes, as we have seen, why can’t they just ignore any “rule” “vote” “pillars of faith” or belief the SDA Church has?

And get away with it, as they have already done. Does anyone have a logical answer?

@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.

Any insiders know WHY this happened? Was it part of a “deal” with AAA for accreditation?
