Example Conversation: How Adventist church leaders talk about Abortion
Adventist leaders usually use diversionary tactics to avoid direct questions regarding the biblical authority for the intentional killing of the unborn.
They may suggest that a prolifer contact hospital administrators.
The way to respond is: “It is the church who adopted the guidelines on abortion. You represent the church, and I need and answer from the church.”
If they say, I am also Prolife, ask them why?
Insist on a biblical authority to intentionally kill the unborn.
I am a second generation Adventist who joined the church by baptism almost seven decades ago when the Adventist Church was still pro-life.
I have a Ph. D. Degree in religion, and my dissertation was entitled "From Pro-life to Pro-choice: The Dramatic Shift in Seventh-day Adventists' Attitudes Toward Abortion."
I published a book with said title which is available at http://lulu.com. You need to type my name in the Search blank space to access it.
I believe that the Adventist Church should get out of the abortion business, especially out of the elective type of abortions.
The church did compromise on this moral issue back in 1970 and many of its hospitals were allowed to profit from the killing of innocent unborn babies with impunity.
The church needs to repent of this great moral sin and publicly admit that it was wrong for the "Remnant" Church, that claims to keep God's Commandments, to profit from what the Bible and our Adventist pioneers labeled as murder.
The Lord is merciful and forgiving, but public sins must be publicly repented of in order to secure God's forgiveness.
P.S.: I recently published my second book dealing with abortion and the Adventist Church. The title is:
“Murder in Paradise: A Serious Warning to the United States & the Adventist Church”
