I hate to tell people this but the church is already infiltrated to such a degree that this move is only a symptom of the churches overall condition. By increments the church has steadily made an retreat from the principles that make it distinct. Those in charge in most instances have already systematically change the stance of the church and labeled the true Adventist as being fanatical. But the truth be told from the health message to music, to movie going and the acceptance of every form of entertainment the church spiritually has retreated. But I can tell you that God has allowed it because we refuse to except the most fundamental part of Adventism, THE POWER TO OVERCOME ALL SIN THROUGH CHRIST, this single rejection has put us in the situation we are currently in. We no longer know what we stand for because we refuse the power of God to do the impossible in our lives. We have become humanist, in otherwords what is impossible by human standards is just that impossible, even with God. Most of the schemes created are done to spread the gospel, and the women's ordination is just that. The change in music was the same reason so that we would appeal to the world and on and on it goes. The acceptance of the wedding ring was the same thing and on and on it goes. The message we currently have has little or no relevancy because for so many years we have preached it but we no longer believe the message.
The Jews also had the same problem before Jesus came. They had preached so long that they no longer believed what they preached. Every part of the doctrine of the church was challenged until when Jesus finally came they did not believe in the resurrection at all. Even the birth of Jesus was challenged and they called him a bastard.
But you know what? In the end the same thing will happen that happen in Jesus time. Without mans help there will be individuals without sin living completely righteous lives and keeping the commandments of God.
In the mean time every uncouth thing will be introduced into the church and the natural order of things will be changed.
The struggle for women's ordination would not even be a topic if the church had embraced the truth that had been given them in the past. But women ordination will go through and in its wake the church will not prosper. It will not prosper, not because of women's ordination, but rather because women and men aren't currently doing what they know is right.
The lack of the Holy Spirit cannot be conjured up or created. However the church will triumph because the ultimate leader is not dead, he is alive and still in charge.
