  • Creation Debate in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Gerhard Pfandl
    Creation Debate in the Seventh-day Adventist Church Gerhard Pfandl At the Annual Council in 2001 the General Conference Executive Committee organized a series of conferences on faith and science during the years 2002-2004. The first conference in 2002 was an international conference in Ogden, Utah. More than 80 scientists, theologians and church administrators from different parts of the world began discussing the interrelationship between faith and science. Topics ranged from the hominid fossil record to Ellen White’s view of science. The conference revealed the seriousness and breadth of differences concerning questions of origin that are present in the SDA community today. During 2003 and the first half of 2004 seven divisions held similar faith and science conferences in their territories. The formal discussions culminated in August 2004 with the second international conference on the subject in Denver, Colorado. At this conference papers were read summarizing the findings of the discussions during the previous two years. The new element in this conference was a discussion on the ethics of dissent dealing with the ethical responsibility of those who differ in significant ways from the biblical position of the church on the topic of creation. The discussion was open, candid, and highly professional. It was obvious that a small number of individuals – scientists and theologians – did not support or felt uncomfortable with the biblical doctrine of creation in six literal, consecutive days as clearly revealed in Genesis 1.1 There was no attempt on the part of church leaders to modify or change our fundamental belief on creation. This was clearly stated by Elder Jan Paulsen before the discussions were initiated.

  • 2010 Adventist and Rcc Join Hands Across the Gulf
    2010 Reginald Stevenson ADVENTIST AND RCC JOIN HANDS ACROSS THE GULF The picture is from the Advetist Review ʹ November 08, 2001 and shows Pope John Paul II greeting his friend SDA Representative, Bert B. Beach. I have found evidence of the Seventh-day Adventist church and the Roman Catholic Church joining hands as far back as 1926. I will be going through some of the history of these instances of our church joining hands with the RCC, which is a disgusting thing that should never have happened. First off I will give some history of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Many may say well why in the world have you chosen to do this? It is because we have allowed errors to come into our church and these errors must not only be met but they must be corrected. TheSeventh-day Adventist Church had its roots in the Milleritemovement of the 1830s and 1840s, during the period of the Second Great Awakening, and was officially founded in 1863. Prominent figures in the early church included Hiram Edson, James Springer White and his wife Ellen G. White, Joseph Bates, and J. N. Andrews. Over the ensuing decades the church expanded from its original base in New England to become an international organization. Significant developments in the 20th century led to its recognition as a Christian denomination.The 19th century provided ideal conditions for the Second Great Awakening a revival movement in the United States. Religious diversity was paramount and many minority movements were formed. Some of these movements held beliefs that would later be adopted by the Seventh-day Adventists.
