  • Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL
    Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL 2001 ANNUAL REPORT PRESIDENT’S REPORT It has been quite a year. Amidst the concerns about security, terrorism, and the understanding of other cultures, AHI has flourished. We have officially grown from two countries to six countries includ- ing nine hospitals and 30 clinics. As you will see in this report, AHI is now active in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guyana, Haiti, Rwanda, and Zambia. Our new hospital building in Gimbie is nearing comple- tion, Davis Memorial Hospital in Guyana is doing well, and strategic plans are being implemented in the new countries, including hospitals with well-known names like Mugonero, Mwami, Yuka, Koza, and Port- au-Prince. Perhaps even more gratifying has been the expansion of the AHI support base. In this report, you will meet the AHI officers who provide considerable time and effort in moving projects forward. We have also been blessed with several extraordinary volunteers who continue to make a real difference in achieving our goals—the stories of Karen Simpson and Kelvin Sawyer are truly inspiring. And finally, there are the many donors and agencies who have confirmed their belief in what AHI is doing by provid- ing financial support. From our board members to the individual staff and volunteers who make it possible, God has woven a tapestry of love for serving others. I want to personally thank the Board of Trustees of Loma Linda University and Medical Center, and later the AHI board, for their willingness to support a new idea and approach. Dr. Calvin Rock, now retired, was chair of those boards during the foundation of AHI.

The question has occupied the minds of generations of people the world over. One has only to look at the proliferation of world religions to see that man seeks after something better than is contained in this life. In the Christian realm with a seemingly simple Biblical answer of, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31 ), it would seem that the question is answered beyond any need for discussion, but Christian history would teach us otherwise. What does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus? What is involved in this belief? And Who is Jesus? In the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the topic of Christ's nature has caused heated debate.

  • Toward a Biblical Theology of God's Judgment
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 15/1 (Spring 2004): 138–165. Article copyright © 2004 by Jir¥ií Moskala. Toward a Biblical Theology of God’s Judgment: A Celebration of the Cross in Seven Phases of Divine Universal Judgment (An Overview of a Theocentric- Christocentric Approach) Jir¥ˆí Moskala Andrews University The Scriptural teaching about judgment lies at the center of GodÕs revela- tion. It is a crux of the biblical message, giving a profound paradigm for our thinking. Next to the fundamental proclamation that God is the Creator (Gen 1Ð2), the Lord is presented as the Judge: In the Garden of Eden there is the first reference to the trial judgment (Gen 3:8Ð24),1 where the grace and justice of God are intermingled.2 The biblical Flood narrative is an account about judg- ment (Gen 6Ð9).3 Abraham called God Òthe Judge of all the earthÓ (Gen 18:25). Two biblical books carry the concept of judgment in their titles: the book of Judges and the book of Daniel.4 1Claus Westermann, Genesis 1Ð11: A Commentary (Minneapolis: Augsburg, 1984), 254: ÒThe purpose of the trial scene is to make clear to the man and the woman what they have done.Ó 2Grace was demonstrated because the first couple did not die in the day when they ate from the forbidden fruit, as promised by God (Gen 2:16Ð17; 3:9), and the proto-Gospel with the promise of the seed and victory over the serpent was given (Gen 3:15).

DOUGLASS Revised Edition This Adobe Acrobat reproduction of “Why Jesus Waits” has been created and distributed with the permission and assistance of the author, Dr Herbert Douglass. How the Sanctuary Message Explains the Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church HERBERT E. DOUGLASS Revised Edition DEDICATED To the loving memory of Richard Jacobsen who sleeps, resting till the voice of the Lord awakens him to meet his Saviour in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17). At the tender age of seven, he looked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and knew that he had a High Priest in the Heavenly Sanctuary who, “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

  • Reacciones a La Nueva Cristología (1970 a 1979)
    Capítulo 12 Reacciones a la nueva Cristología (1970 a 1979) La influencia de la nueva teología fue creciente. Aun cuando los defensores de la Cristología tradicional quedasen, inicialmente, un tanto aturdidos con la rapidez del cambio, comenzaron a reaccionar enérgicamente, principalmente a través de los canales oficiales de comunicación de la iglesia. Al comienzo, ellos se hicieron oír en artículos publicados en la Review and Herald, y entonces por medio del Instituto de Investigaciones Bíblicas, a nivel de la Conferencia General. Más tarde, mediante las lecciones de la Escuela Sabática y en muchos libros. En seguida a la publicación de Movement of Destiny, el año 1970 marcó el inicio de un despertamiento del interés en las enseñanzas históricas de los pioneros de la iglesia. 1 A Reacción de la Review and Herald Después de la muerte de F. D. Nichol, en 1966, Kenneth H. Wood, su asociado, se volvió editor- jefe de la Review and Herald. Bajo su liderazgo, de 1966 a 1982, la Review nunca cesó de recordar la enseñanza histórica. Como presidente del Patrimonio de Ellen G. White y también de la junta de sus depositarios, desde 1980, Wood hizo todo lo que podía para incentivar la publicación de artículos sustentando la posición tradicional. Para ese fin, Wood llamó dos editores- asociados: Thomas A. Davis, en 1970, y Herbert E. Douglass, en 1971. Ambos se revelaron fuertes defensores de la tradicional Cristología adventista. Por medio de artículos, libros y ocasionales participaciones en las lecciones de la Escuela Sabática, ellos sistemáticamente se opusieron a la enseñanza presentada en Questions on Doctrine y en Movement of Destiny.
