Some science is unequivocal. There are still FACTS in this world, despite the narratives spewed out by the woke mob to discredit them. For instance: FACT: the covid-19 vaccine can cause myocarditis, heart attack, stroke, autoimmune diseases and other serious side effects. FACT — The SDA health message centers on the use of natural remedies — not genetically modified experimental vaccines. I could go on, but I think by the context, this is what the article is referring to.

With all due respect, come on….are you serious with this comment? Really? It has absolutely nothing to do with the point being raised in the article. The reference in the article is only to point out that at least somebody in the Christian world, unlike our own leadership, took a stand against the trampling upon freedom of conscience by woke authoritarians — something that our church should have been doing since this is one of its fundamental principles. The article does not promote or hold John MacArthur up as some sort of authority on biblical truth, since, for one thing, he is not even an SDA. Evidently, you are missing the entire point. And, since you’re obviously trying to discredit that comment, what about Elder Wilson’s repeated statement that the mark of the beast is any day of the week other than the seventh day Sabbath?

But okay.

The choice AF had as a ministry was very simple… if they preplanned the conference without knowledge of the contradiction that their headline speaker would enter into prior to the event taking place, they could:

A. Close their eyes, plug their ears and plow ahead knowing that the plow was broken, the mule was lame and the soil full of stones, or

B. Recognize the inconsistency, double speak, and desire to control the conscience as a clear indication that God is not present – those are dragon characteristics – then cancel the event at whatever cost.

The weighing of these two options was undoubtedly done, if not by Pastor Doug, then at least by a concerned board member or department director with a shred of spiritual discernment. We all must consider carefully where we place our allegiance and support. If I, as a faithful and God-fearing employee of a ministry, let’s say AF, see evidence of Creeping Compromise (read the book by Joe Crews) making it’s way into the organization where I am contributing, then I must make a choice whether to stand for God by speaking out and leaving, or to just shrug my shoulders and say there’s nothing I can do. It may seem like lunacy to leave a good job and friends because of disagreement with the practice of the ministry, but if I am to be found faithful to God, how could I continue to support something, even by my presence as an unpaid volunteer, that is leading people into a state of confusion? The fact is that we all must make this decision whether or not we work for AF.

In this world, there may seem to be situations where a decision cannot be overturned, but so far as I’m aware, the only such decision is called the close of probation where those who have chosen to take their stand on the part of God will be place on the right and those who have caved in to the pressures of this world will be separated to the left. This is a right or left moment for AF and its employees.

It is not an act of casting stones to identify a tree that bears bad fruit and forewarn others about the tree, lest they should partake of it and become sick… “wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.”

Brother, please see the link below for starters.

Kelly Williams, excellent reply. Our brother Andrew O’Neal wants forgiveness to be extended where none has been asked for. It is very much a necessity that Elder Wilson ask for the forgiveness of those he has hurt by supporting the mandates and not assisting those who needed the church to help them stand for bodily autonomy. Elder Wilson’s actions were shameful but, with the Lord’s help, he can make things right. As of yet, he has not. Just like with the women’s ordination issue. That is eating the soul out of our church. God bless you Kelly Williams, and may God open the eyes of our brother Andrew O’Neal.

I am not sure which science you refer to as being unequivocal but I am sure you would find great disagreement there.
