Sounds like overhearing a conversation among friends at a local bar.

What I don’t understand is their lack of knowledge about how shakey the ToE is.

It would seem to me that it would not be very difficult to put together a seminar on Genesis from a Biblical POV noting textual evidence for YEC and YLC. Perhaps include what the ramifications of a non-literal interpretation means to SDA doctrine. Plenty of professional sources out there.

The same with biological evolution. State what is verifiable and what is conjecture and why. Plenty of peer reviewed sources available.

I am a retired systems engineer and not a teacher so what I think would be a simple task may not be.

Bill “How inane would it be to claim an apple tree is not an apple tree unless and until it has apples on it?”

Bill,

Comparing babies and apple trees is a bit more inane than comparing apples and oranges.

BTW,

“The ONLY DEFINITION FOR SIN that we have in the Bible is that it is the transgression of the law… IT CONDEMNS EVERY SIN, AND REQUIRES EVERY VIRTUE.” E.G. White, ST, March 3, 1890 par. 3.

If it is a sin to possess a fallen nature then there must be a law against it. Has God given a law forbidding anyone from being conceived with a fallen human nature? If there ever was a law that was impossible to keep, this would be it, for how could one choose not to violate it before one existed?!

Ethan,

IMHO,

No statement was necessary.

In fact I consider it thoughtless.

FB#6 should have absolutely no effect on their ability to support the world church and perform work faithfully and with integrity.

@Bill Sorensen:

Bill,

Sin is transgression of the law.

Where does it say being born is a sin?
