Comment on My Goal for La Sierra University by Charles.
I am not a scientist and my view is thus more simplistic.
“Science” cannot explain life. It is that simple. If so-called “science” understood what constitutes LIFE, then science could maybe be an authority on it.
Science has no qualification to make a judgement about where life comes from because there is no understanding of how it is originated. Scripture explains from WHERE it comes but the “HOW” of it is God’s power and His alone. Once the life has totally left a formerly living body, it is gone and cannot be restored by any one.
We are all here ALIVE. That is evident by our interactions. But what is life? Explain it scientifically! If you understand it, then you should be able to restore it after it is gone. Certainly science does not support the hope of a resurrection. And I sincerly doubt that the purist in evolutionary belief has a genuine hope for a resurrection. If I cannot believe in an all-powerful God who put life into the dust that made the first man, how can I have hope in a resurrection?
Science has done a whole lot of good for mankind. But it does have limitations. After all, science IS only human. It is not God and it cannot probe the secrets of God.

My Goal for La Sierra University
I have not seen any attacks on Gordon Beitz or Southern. Ohhh that all of our schools would have the faithful leadership that SAU has been blessed with.

The spirit behind this post is self-evident and needs no comment. It plainly speaks for itself.

I agree with Nic on this.

2013 Annual Council Votes to Change Wording of Adventist Fundamental Belief #6
No matter how the FBs are worded, there will be contention about it.
Anyone who has fully embraced this message realizes that the days to Jesus’ coming are few. Thus it behooves us to be about the work of proclaiming the unique ADVENTIST message to a world that is facing impending doom.
May I suggest the sermons of Jeremiah Davis. (can be found on Youtube)

@gene fortner: I don’t think anyone really knows what powers were being exercised on 9/11. Clearly the airliners were involved.
It was an event that changed the world in ways that top-down powers would yearn for.
No point in speculation… I think Veith probably was mistaken to do that deep dive and it seems that he has quietly backed away from it.
The thing we must focus on is to “Turn your eyes upon Jesus….” Clearly, we are in “the last days”.

@David Read: I find Veith’s “theorizing” regarding “conspiracies” to be spot on and on topic.
There is a great “conspiracy” – otherwise known as “The Great Controversy”. It is the ultimate reality of our rebellious little world today. AND it is the foundation of all of these other problems we deal with.
AND, IT WILL BE ENDING SOON!

Evidence that God is in control. LSU could become a beacon of light shining on the truth of our world an how we came to be here. That is as it should be.
La Sierra University gets 3-year AAA Accreditation
I believe we are involved in a Mount Carmel experience. As this world is hurling toward the great climactic “END”, we will see more and greater attacks against the truth by the great deceiver. The prophets of Baal will become bolder and more feverish. (Remember that the prophets of Baal on Mt Carmel were much from within the nation of Israel.)
What a day of reckoning it will be when “at such a time as we think not” that great cloud approaches this world. The signs today are loud and bold. Jesus is coming. Spread the word.
