Comment on GYC Q&A addresses universities who hire and protect evolutionists by Ken Lytle.
I attended an Adventist college in Mid-America where I came across anti-Adventist ideas brought about by two full-time professors.
One professor (English) taught that God has female breast and male genitals… that when He created male and female, He gave man the genitals and woman the breast. This same professor also taught that the flood was an isolated event.
The second professor (Theology) taught the JEDP Theory. “In brief, the JEDP theory states that the first five books of the Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, were not written entirely by Moses, who died in 1451 B.C., but also by different authors/compliers after Moses.†This THEORY is dangerous if taught to young minds that are not grounded in truth. The professor also had other anti-Adventist ides he presented. I made 2-3 trips to the Academic Dean’s office in one year and the problem was never taken care of. After years of teaching at this college… poisoning many young minds, the professor studied himself right out of the church (did his Ph D studies at a Catholic university). He is now a minister at a first-day church.
I also attended an Adventist college on the West Coast where the Psychology professor promoted the homosexual agenda in class. This professor has been allowed to teach in our school full-time for many years.
How long will we allow the devil to poison our young people? I don’t know about you, but I believe we need zero to very little tolerance when it comes to theological poison. Our schools should be spiritually safe for my kids and your kids. If we don’t want to hurt our school (and church) leader’s feelings, then we had better do a better job screening each and everyone before we hire them and follow-up with regular evaluations. There is HOPE!!!

GYC Q&A addresses universities who hire and protect evolutionists
The panel session was almost a joke. The GC top dawgs were presented with some VERY IMPORTANT questions and most of them came up with fluffy answers and never really answered the questions. When it comes to Church leaders (local churches, schools, medical facilities, conferences, etc.) we should have a 1, 2, 3 strike your out approach. Our Church leaders are to present Christ as Christ presented Himself. The disciples were still in training and can not be compared to our current Church leaders. If a pastor, teacher, etc. is teaching non-Adventist (unBiblical) information, they should be warned once, twice, third strike your out of the position of leadership. This doesn’t mean they can’t retain their church membership and sit in the pew to learn the truth from those truly committed to God’s wonderful truth. Lord help us!

WASC Team Recommends Formal Notice of Concern Regarding LSU
How should the GC handle LSU? Do we close the school and sell the property or just sell it to LSU (if they have the money)? The GC should dissolve the current board and dismiss all the the admin, faculty, and staff at the end of the year and restart it next school year.
Panda’s Thumb: ‘SDAs are split over evolution’
@ Sean Pitman – I would be VERY interested in attending an Adventist debate on creation vs. evolution. You should see if Ted Wilson would be willing to join your debate team.

For real education reform, take a cue from the Adventists
This is good PR for our Church, but take a moment and think about where we could be as a Church and school system if we were truly on track with God’s plan for our ministries. We are light years behind in the “blue prints” God has given us. Let’s keep pressing forward! [edit]
“Don’t go backwards to interpret Genesis as allegorical or symbolic”
I can’t wait to see how the good Lord leads His Church over the next three years. Remember… all changes to our fundamental beliefs need to be submitted to the GC two years before the next GC Session. Let’s pray that our leaders will truly allow the Holy Spirit to guide. It looks like we are about to have a “shaky” ride.
“I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen, and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans. This will have its effect upon the heart of the receiver, and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour forth the straight truth. Some will not bear this straight testimony. They will rise up against it, and this is what will cause a shaking among God’s people.†{CET 176.1}
Joe Cooper: History and Importance of LSU conflict over “Evolution”
I know that a march is a little on the extreme side, but what can we do to make sure our young people are not taught lies in our Adventist schools. God will hold us accountable in the end if we stand by and do nothing. Why must we wait years to right a wrong when the wrong is so open and public. We (the Church) need to be able to act fast when open rebellion comes into light. Marching may not be the answer, but it sure worked to help bring about desegregation in America.
