The State of the SDA Church in January
2019
More than 17 million adherers to this
denomination is where the Spirit of God has brought us thus far. I am not a
president nor a pastor of the church, but I have eyes and ears and can make
notes on the state of the church as we speak. The USA is a peace loving country not
like Hitler who loved piece(s): “a piece of Poland, a piece of Hungary, a piece
of France ….”That is how the satire goes. But is this a true assessment of the
current USA lamb of Revelation 13 (the second beast-power in that chapter)? Can
a lamb develop teeth and bite? Can a democracy turn into neo-fascism? Did it?
Can neo-fascistic countries “democratize” and on the other hand, can democratic
countries set up neo-fascisim? Can a one-man show turn into an all-men show and
an all-men show turn into a one-man show? It just did. Trump card or not. It
did. So where do Seventh-day Adventism find
itself currently in the world? The North American Division is the Division where
most funds are produced for the church and distributed to all poorer countries.
That is a fact. So all eyes are there for it is there that the main seminary
and universities are. Although Sahmyook University in South Korea with its 6000
plus students and modernization outshadow Andrews University or Loma Linda University
by leaps and bounds. It almost appears as if the Americans do not have money if
one compares. But this is frivolous talk. Judging by appearance and image and
show. Enough of it. Where do Adventists stand in January
2019? That is the question. The answer is that Adventists are part
of the environment or country of residence, the USA and the USA is part of the
World sharing this globe. Maybe one should first ask what the state-of-affairs
are of the Roman Catholic Church in the world in January 2019. Then with that
world-condition approach the USA and further arrives at Seventh-day Adventist
institutions in the USA. It is also the Quo Fadis question
here. Where from here? The picture is supposed to say it all.
The Vatican first. The State of the Vatican is best
presented by an article of dr. Daniel Farrow regarding the paradigm shift of
pope Francis vs pope Ratzinger. He concluded that Francis want a “Revolution”
not a “Reformation” of the structure of the Catholic Church. Francis wants a
one person clericalism with all power ceded to a congress of bishops. But, that
is not all. Gay theology is walking down the corridors of the Vatican it is
said by ‘Cardinal Ouellet’s letter’, ‘beyond the McCarrick business’
and by ‘what Archbishop Vigano has called the plague of homosexuality among the
clergy,’ (see Farrow, 2018 November 10). Worldwide jurisdiction philosophy has
already gone wrong since the speech of the president of the Euro Commission in
2007 and also United Nations speeches around that time. Gender as a choice was
the topic.
The USA This is the incubator for Seventh-day
Adventism since their breath and water and food is dependent from this terra or
land. USA jurisprudence philosophy is also an echo of the 2007 stance by the
Europe president from Germany on the Transsexuals. California is the nest of
liberals [those who hate the Bible and do not want morals by a Bible position].
It is the nest of atheists, nihilists and their cronies. But the Supreme Court
is now almost 100% Catholic. Pope Francis would make it easier for them to
uphold the liberal stance on things. Gender choice. Now in case you think there is a
difference between public laws and private laws and that the freedom of
religion is honored, you have it all wrong. The public sector developed teeth
in their laws, a situation that one can call ‘neo-fascism of a liberal kind’ and
they want to force private institutions to adopted the LGBTQH agenda and laws
that they created to give humans a gender choice rather than a gender essence.
Is this stance anti-biblical?
Absolutely. California refused to pay government officials who have to travel
to adjacent states that are against LGBTQH laws of California, thus biting them
with the teeth of their own creation in a neo-fascistic way. How can one gossip
about the lost of freedom of choice in North Korea when they are doing the same
in California? It is like South Koreans who use to
say that the most militaristic country in the area is North Korea with its one
million soldiers but South Korean students and children are sitting in the
pc-rooms indoctrinating themselves with games that contain militaristic jargon
from A to Z. Cognitively they are e-soldiers! What is the difference? Millions
of them and that daily, for hours and hours. The USA is no different. And this
environment in the USA is the “bed” upon which Seventh-day Adventists have to
sleep. The laws with teeth got legs and moved
to the Adventist institutions as well. The Supreme Court wants public
anti-biblical uniformatism on Gender choice enforced with teeth. They cannot
allow private biblical uniformatism. It must be rejected and these ‘ghettos’
rooted out, with laws and laws with canines as well. Persecution it is called
by those who suffer under it.
SDA institutions Now we are where we wanted to be.
Where are Adventists in 2019? In Fulcrum 7 of the latest issue there is a
parent who wrote a letter explaining where we are: A lawyer Nixon from New York
was appointed Vice President of Diversity and embracement at Andrews University
and his function will be to make sure that transsexuals and other LGBTQH people
are softly treated with care and protection. Also at Southwestern Adventist University
in Tennisee they are now looking for a similar Vice-President there. The job is
created to please the Catholic Supreme Court and their Jurisprudence Philosophy
of anti-biblical stances. If you fall on this issue, you will fall also on the
Sunday-law issue. Two Vice-Presidents of Gay Affairs. It
reminds me of the role of Jezebel who was married to Ahab. She was a Phoenician
woman and loved the Baal religion. She was high-priestess of this religion in
Israel and the gula priests were in these institutions that she created in
Israel. A gula priest is a transsexual or LGBTQH person with an effimate way of
speaking says a cuneiformist who wrote a book on the gula priest in the cuneiform
texts since the Fall of Ur in 2004 BCE. Then we thought that LGBTQH is just in
our own times. It is now achievement. It is a degeneration. It is following
Francis and his “conversion” in a revolutionary way as dr. Farrow said. It is
following the Catholic Supreme Court rulings of the USA and lastly following
the Jurisprudence Philosophy of an anti-biblical kind so popular in the World
today. So where do Seventh-day Adventist
stand in such a crisis of faith as this?
Culture over Bible and Bible over
Culture The issue is that Culture is chosen to
be over the Bible by the Administrators of Andrews University and Southwestern
Adventist Universities. This is the remnant “weed” and the question is, where
is the remnant “seed”? It is time to come out of her My
people as we have read so many times in the Bible. Why? Plaques of the Time of
Trouble is at hand. When? Soon. When Canaanitism and Baalism is given a
Vice-President position at Andrews University and also at Southwestern
Adventist University, then the remnant seed must be elsewhere and the caucus of
the ‘School of the prophets’ is not there. Where is Elijah? Not there. Is
Elijah alone? 7000 prophets did not bow their knee to Baal. If USA Jurisprudence is willing to fight
for the rights of Transsexuals at Private Christian Universities, then why not
fight for the rights of smokers, drinkers of alcohol and drug users? What about
the rights of suicide people and abortion? Question is, why neo-fascistically encroached
on the privacy of a private institution insisting that they embrace people they
do not want to embrace “as is” but rather wants to convert, transform, and
change to someone better? In case USA Jurisprudence and psychologists think
that LGBTQH people cannot be changed, then ask, there are people who were
healed from these diseases of the mind. Do not teach that they can never change
and with this narrow-minded axiom set up laws with teeth to so-called “protect”
individuals suffering from this trauma in their lives.
Pre-lapsarian and post-lapsarian views
of the Nature of Christ I owe it to the book by Denis Priebe,
J. Zurcher, Denis Fortin’s online short essay on this issue to say that to say
Christ came with a nature that is like Adam before the fall and not after the
fall is to be with the Remnant weed. This last is my analysis not Fortin. It is
interesting that those who promote woman ordination, feel comfortable with a Vice-President
for Gay Affairs are also those who claim that Christ took the nature of Adam
before the fall. Why? They want to cling to Martin Luther’s principle of semper
sanctus et semper peccatus = at the same time holy and at the same time a
sinner. If they can say that Christ is not
exactly like us, then they can say that Romans 7 “the good that I want to do I
do not do” is Paul and not Saul. It is the Christian who will never be perfect
until Jesus Comes. What is the problem with this? David said: I am perfect so when do
You come and Judge my perfection? Psalm 101:2. Heppenstall, LaRondelle, Denis Fortin,
and the rest are listed by Fortin who believes in this view. It is a typical
Calvinistic Reformed position of a Berkhouwer kind, the one who was LaRondelle’s
teacher. H. Douglas, D. Priebe, M. L.
Andreasen, Standish Brothers, and the list can go on, are those who cling to
all the statements of Ellen White on this matter and insist that Christ was in
all respects like us even with the nature after the fall and not before the
fall. Sometimes you get the impression that
it is just a jargon-war and that they actually agree on points. But still they
choose to differ and that is because the pre-lapsarists have a ‘secret’
weakness that they do not want to surrender to the Lord. They like the excuse
to keep it. Maybe? Only they know.
Sabbath School Lesson Book by
Stefanovich on Revelation Clifford Goldstein had to do a lot of
renovation on the worldwide edition removing many errors in Stefanoviches book
Revelation. When I spoke to Hong-Pal Ha, the Korean translator of the book by
Stefanovich, he said that Stefanovich actually wrote the book not for
Adventists but for non-Adventists! Vicarius filii Dei 666 is denied and left
out. Chapter 4 and 5 is made at the Ascension of Christ instead of at the
Eschaton (see A. Treiyer on the issue in Youtube). ‘Apostacy in the
Sabbath-school lesson book,’ Treiyer calls it and thus translated into French,
Spanish, English, and Chinese his lectures on the Sabbath School Book on
Youtube. If dr. Ha is correct, then why do the church give “bacon on sandwich”
for the non-pork eating Adventists?
Latter Rain near Apostasy, Shaking
and the Latter Rain (see Joel) are events that are very near to happen.
Is my own calculation. Is this year the beginning of this great event and the
others?
