Faith in movement
Am spending a couple of weeks at college for a module on SDA Leading Motifs.
Challenging to say the least! One comes to realized that it is not just people that carry genes and have to come to terms with inhereted traits. Churches and denominations , such as the SDA, have a history and a pre-history that not only explains but also haunts us today.
Discussing a paper with a lecturer today I came to realize that something I have taken for granted as a negative aspekt of Adventism can in actual fact be discribed as a genetic disorder. I.e. an inherited fault which in actual fact has no place in our genetic make up.
I believe in creationism, but clearly church evolution has developed som theological freaks of nature.
On the positive side, I believe the church is open to change and as long as we are moving in the right direction there is hope. Just let us stay alert, critical and open to revision of even the most deeply held truth - if we find the Bible speaks clearly on the topic.
