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

@BobRyan:

Really, The Bible is true because it says so? A circular argument cannot produce a valid result in any logical system.

We had best value the Bible because of the kind of people following its’ teaching produces. Finding some way to discount the genocidal activites of Joshua, of course!

Happily we now have access to some of the gospels the first century Christians valued. Discussed for lay readers nicely in Bart Ehrman’s little book “Lost Christianities”. These are the gospels the Bishops declined to include in the canon.

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.

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I was unaware till I read it that they had formally withdrawn their resignations prior to the board meeting to discuss the “firings”.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