Comment on Faith without Evidence: Are we really a bunch of ‘Flat Earthers’? by Ron Stone M.D..
Sean, Pardon me for assuming some inner motivation for Scriven, but he would be satisfied if we all had our “private interpretation” of the bible, all being of equal value. How else would he even decide what interpretation should be considered “true?”
Sam Pipim describes these characters in his books very eloquently.

Faith without Evidence: Are we really a bunch of ‘Flat Earthers’?
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen accusations of “bald†and “bold†assertions in the same context, and this is why I’m both bemused and confused by the diction.
As I stated, a statement may be “bold” and “bald” at the same time. So it may not be an error.
Faith without Evidence: Are we really a bunch of ‘Flat Earthers’?
Prof, A “bald” assertion is usually a statement that has very little to no evidence or basis to back it up.
Bold usually means an emphatic or forceful assertion, which may or may not have sufficient evidence. So, a “bold” assertion may be “bald” also. But, not all “bold” assertions are “bald.”
Does this help?

SDA Fundamental Belief #6 states explicity:
What can I say? I’ll let the reader decide whether you are undermining a fundamental SDA doctrine, and whether you yourself would be a liar and a thief if employed by the SDA church.What’s with our MDs calling for the firing of others for undermining FB #6 when they themselves do the very same thing?
I said “result” of God, not that the Devil “created” anything out of nothing, Prof. Has the Devil actually “created” anything out of nothing, as the Bible states that God did? Nice try at a straw-man argument! [edit]

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
