Comment on Church says La Sierra Employees Lawsuit is Without Merit by Holly Pham.

Frank Silver: What Ricardo Graham did was not taking an employment action – he simply invited the men to resign once he informed them that the university structure was onto their nefarious activity. But yes – the religion department over which the church would have an undisputable interest in protecting has been the key problem. It has been graduating students with no regard for Adventist beliefs, and many pastors come from there with no respect for the prophetic ministry of Ellen White or the literal creation week.To fix the University, fix the religion department. Otherwise nothing will get done.

Do most of their theology graduates stay in California? How many graduates of Andrews, compared with La Sierra, have been hired in the past 5 years? Does anyone know?

Faithful Disciple: Holly, I believe Erv is an Emeritus Professor of Anthropology from UCR (University of California-Riverside), I don’t think he is a paid employee of the church, either currently, or in the past. He is a thought leader among the liberal “SDA’s” who want to trash our FB’s. He seems to have a total hate for historic, “traditional” SDA beliefs. His whole push is to advance liberal thought and doctrine wherever possible. He is constantly at war with us “fundamentalists.” What a sad situation to be in. He seems to have some huge hang-up.

Didn’t someone say Dr. Taylor taught part of one of the courses at La Sierra?

But, you are correct–he is definitely “at war” with biblically-based Adventists, and he admits as much. Just read his articles over on Adventist Today.

He just loves to trash Ellen White. How could he be a member “in good standing” at the Loma Linda University Church. Has anyone asked Randy Roberts this question?

Faithful Disciple: Holly, whether anyone has infiltrated our church, I don’t know. I am not a conspiracy theory kind of person. I am not privy to see behind the scenes as God would. All I can says is that we are God’s remnant church, we have Bible-based beliefs, and the likes of professors at LSU in the biology and religion departments, Erv Taylor, Jared Wright, the lib Spectrum crowd, and many others that claim that they are SDA when they are actively against everything SDA and are our greatest opponents. Their actions here and now are enough to convince me what EGW said that former SDA’s will be our worst enemies.

Well, former SDA’s may be our enemies, but it seems as though actual “in good standing” SDA’s (as Dr.Taylor) and actual paid employees, both in our Churches and our colleges, are our main enemies.

@Faithful Disciple, Yes, it seems that Ellen White correctly predicted people like Dr. Taylor, Pastor Ryan Bell, and others would be infiltrating our Church!

@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.
