Comment on GC Votes to Revise SDA Fundamental #6 on Creation by Jeannie Brown.
Well, where is it written that every SDA member must necessarily interpret each and every scripture exactly the same way as the GC president does?
Why can’t we emulate Christ and “let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind”? We need to give our brethren room to exercise the free will with which they’ve been created. Freedom to make mistakes, if necessary. We can’t rigidly require every person to believe every jot and tittle in the same interpretation as Ted Wilson does.
Even the various translations of the Scriptures are all, in themselves, interpretations! No two scholars interpret a Scripture exactly identically. For heaven’s sake, let’s let the members worship and believe in the way which they best understand each teaching.
It frightens me to read that the GC Autumn Council will be “rewriting” one of the Fundamental Beliefs. Give me a break! For the past hundred years of our history, we {SDAs] prided ourselves in not having a creed! And now we’re doing a 180? Totally becoming rigid peons now that we have an autocratic new president??
