Comment on [6/17/11 UPDATE] Two administrators, one biology professor, and one board member resign by David Bee.

@Shayne Vincent:

I am not capable of imagining that Ezra and his editors were capable of formulating modern knowledge of astronomy and geography in ways valuable to his readers 2600 years ago.

Not sure how he would have expailned DNA, genetics, bacteria to an Israel of 600 BC, even one exposed to the unversity of Bablyon’s pofessors.

Pretty sure prophets of every age must speak within the knowledge base of their audience. Would EGW have kept her audience if she had revealed the actual earth age or the truth that masturbation does not cause disease?

Inspiration fails to inspire if it speaks in tongues.

Distributing a feloniously acquired recording may constitute abetting a crime making the distributor chargable under the statute.

What ethics let to the use of an illegally (felony) obtained recording to discipline faculty?

To read the entire text of the “terminated” La Sierra faculty lawsuit against the church leaders go to the website of the law firm.

www.mccunewright.com

The press release is there as well as the complete text of the filed complaint.

I was unaware till I read it that they had formally withdrawn their resignations prior to the board meeting to discuss the “firings”.

@Bill Sorensen:

One should be careful about comparisons to the first century church; there was wide variance in belief and practice. Thomas, Paul and Peter varied in their teachings. It took 300 years for the Bishops to cosolidate canon, practice and belief while excluding Christian sects which failed to conform. A few of these sects persist in the middle East. Arians, who deny the divinity of Christ, come to mind.

Unfortunately we do not teach church history widely in our colleges. EGW touches on this in Great Controversy.
