Is a focus of some in the adventist church - with presenting Conservatism in "Christianity" as if it's better than liberalism - an instance of Adventists attempting to introduce moral compromise into the Church?
I ask such a question after reading this article "
http://www.adventistreview.org/article.php?id=4594Conservative Adventism -has not convinced many peoples that they must not compromise, but has in fact convinced some peoples that "fraud" and dishonesty and fornication and promiscuity are ok.
What I can't understand - is why some who write for adventist publications are bent on convincing the world that conservatism -political conservatism is the same thing as Godliness and Liberalism is the same thing as moral compromise -when Theocratic as well as political conservatism are the same thing as moral compromise particularly on the subject of judical justice - courts, and bigotry?
Additionally, where is the Adventist Church;'s proof - that "political liberals" are any more morally compromised than theocdratic and/or political conservatives?
I think the Adventist Church- this conservative institution and its mouthpiece are an agent of compromise because of its conservatism - it keeps pushing conservatism - although conservatism is associated with a dishonesty and an ungodly perversion of judical justice - and it scandalizes liberalism -although the LBJ - or at least some of the LBJ/ FDR kind of progressivism was concerned with many good values - such as environmental rights, civil rights, etc.
The Adventist Church is quite an evil institution -in how it attempts to infuse talk of Godliness with being the same thing as political labels as as conservatism.
ONly a dishonest man would pretend that conservatism is a form of godliness. The Adventist Church is attempting to perpetuate a religion of perverted justice - discrimination against minorities, exploitation of the middle class and poor - dishonesty, and moral compromise - in attempting to equate godliness with conservatism and moral compromise with liberalism.
Why is it that the Adventist church has failed to admit that some of its conservatives are more morally compromised than many political liberals - believing that one can be Godly even as one engages in fornication, promiscuity, slander, dishonesty and a support for perverted justice and discrimination and bigotry.
It's dishonest to make these cliched slanderous arguments that conservatism is the same thing as godliness.
I find it laughable that some over at the Adventist Review - and many within the SDA Church - would have one believe that because some one does not support perversion of judicial justice and exploitation and discrimination against others in employment etc. on the basis of gender, race, etc. and therefore would be classified as a "liberal" - that this person is morally compromised -
In fact Conservatives are morally compromised and dishonest - because they've attempted to equate their political conservatism with godliness - when in reality it is a religion of moral compromise that supports perverted "justice" - perverted "courts" - dishonesty - racial discrimination, fornication, rape, etc.
There are many "liberals" who are more pure, more honest, and less compromised than Adventists who are considered "conservative" .
So many "conservative" Adventists are morally compromised - that for them conservatism has merely come to mean a support for crude racial bigotry and moral compromise on many other issues.
The adventist church is trying to perpetuate support for an ungodly moral compromise and for racial and gender employment discrimination in its bid to equate conservatism with godliness. What an insult to the tradition of Martin L. King and other "liberals" who actually do have uncompromised values.
Many of the people who hate Martin L. King - won't criticize Thomas Jefferson - when they talk of him as such as great Founding father.
The reason why so many "conservative" churches such as the SDA Church is growing in certain parts of the world -is because the Adventist Church actually represents a moral compromise that is palatable =
people are able to join the Adventist Church - and still retain moral compromised stances in terms of the 10 commandments - honesty, promiscuity, and the issue of justice and whether or not justice that is perverted is wrong.
The adventist Church and its conservatism are quite popular in particular parts of the globe where negative ethnicity are popular -. People are drawn to the "conservatives" viewpoints about particular ethnic groups of people - and many people are drawn to the moral compromise that is a part and parcel of the Conservative movement.
Adventists - perpetuate the notion that one is not morally compromised and that one is Godly - even if one supports employment discrimination and racial discrimination - and fornication, and promiscuity, etc. and dishonesty.
