Comment on LSU responds to Michigan Conference by Ron Stone M.D..
Sean says; “Adultery is hardly comparable to a difference in doctrinal belief.”
So, Sean, we can argue, discuss, and dialogue, but can’t make “judgements” about the 4th Commandment, where God himself wrote that He created the earth and all living things in one week, but the “adultery” commandment is “different?”
Adultery and denying God’s Word regarding creation are very comparable.
Adultery is taking something that isn’t yours – i.e., stealing. Everyone knows, internally, that stealing is wrong because it is against the Golden Rule or the Royal Law. This is what makes us moral agents – unlike animals that do not have such moral sensibilities given to them by God and are therefore not morally responsible.
In order to be guilty of a moral wrong, one must have a moral conscience against which one transgresses in a conscious manner. If one is not conscious of a transgression against one’s own conscience, there is no sin for that individual.
This is why it is possible to honestly and sincerely not understand the truth of the Bible or of a doctrine like the literal creation week and not be guilty of any moral sin against one’s conscience (some of the greatest of all Christian reformers did not understand the sacredness of the 7th-day Sabbath for example – yet were not guilty of sin in this doctrinal error). This is also why only God can accurately judge such things because only God can accurately read the heart, the motive, of a person.

Dennis, [edit] So, I say again, show us the “ubiquitous” evidence for Darwinian evolution! Even Stephen Gould couldn’t do it, and he gave us “saltation.” Frances Crick gave up and said we “evolved” from outer space genes!

Excuse me Ken, my posts above were directed at Dennis, of course!

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
