I am a second generation Adventist and I must confess that I am both proud and ashamed of being an Adventist. Proud to share the Remnant last message with a perishing world, but ashamed of the fact that back in 1970 our church embraced elective abortion for the sake of cursed profit.
Sometimes I feel like Jeremiah, the crying prophet, who was proud of belonging to God’s Remnant but ashamed of the behavior of the people he loved.
New King James Version ”We are ashamed because we have heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces … “[Jer. 51:51]
You might be aware that the Lord has blessed his people with the ministry of a modern Jeremiah who has produced so far over 200 powerful Prolife videos. Here are two of them, and I would greatly encourage you to watch them:
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”
