Eddie: Or it’s BOTH the conservatives and the liberals who are criticizing the church, and the moderates who are defending it?

Liberals and conservatives tend to criticize the Church for much differenc reasons.

Let me explain it to you, Eddie. The liberals criticize the SDA Church because they believe it is too “old fashion” out of date” “behind the times” etc. because the Church is still being too “bible based” “too much Ellen G. White” etc. [edit]

Many “conservatives” criticize many SDA Church leaders because of their apathetic lack of leadership when presented by heretical and apostate doctrinal issues [edit].

Steve Mahan:
Why aren’t we reading more about LSU in the Adventist Review?

To show the SDA members that the G.C. is on top of the situation, it would ease a lot of minds.

Why? Well for one reason, it would plainly show that the “leaders” of our SDA Church have been lax in their duties, including the “leaders” at the GC. And, many would actually ask or even demand something be done about this matter, which the Conferences, Unions, Divisions, and even the GC is unwilling to handle.

The GC is NOT “on top of” this or most situations.

@Holly Pham:

Absolutely, Holly.I don’t doubt Dr. Taylors’ sincerity, but it does give me pause when someone answers that they are “not sure” if they believe the Bible or not.

I have always appreciated your comments on this website very much.And for that matter, Dr. Taylors’ comments, also, as he continues to make the contrast between SDAs and “in name only ‘SDAs’” all the more clear.

Don’t worry, Erv… if God can open my eyes to His truth (which I believe He has),He can also show you the truth someday (if you’re willing to listen).

I’ll be praying for you.

Not really believing in the Bible, Spirit of Prophecy, or other SDA beliefs is very common, not only from Dr. Taylor, but from many so-called “religious scholars” at LLU and La Sierra, as well as some at other places. You will find some of this actually broadcasted on LLBN TV. [edit]

@JDoe, As you can see from Dr. Taylors’ answers, he is not quite what many SDA’s would consider a real SDA. And, you didn’t even ask him about many other beliefs of our Church. Would he answer those too?

However, he is happy to brag about his “member in good standing” status at the Loma Linda University Church.

Do you understand now why some of us have a problem about what is going on at La Sierra, Loma Linda, and other places in our denomination?

@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?
