The Loma Linda LGBT agenda
The Seventh day Adventist church must grant the same rights to LGBT individuals as the United States supreme court did June 2015. (Minute 2:25) James Walters, PhD, professor of religion - Ethical Studies.
I've always felt gay, born gay, grew up gay. I read my bible, prayed, preached sermons in churches but the desire of homosexuality did not go away. (Minute 22:45, 26:00, 1:44:22) Admitted practicing homosexuality (Minute 1:50:40) Han Von Walter, MD Psychiatrist
The SDA church must accept LGBT individuals as members, because they are Seventh-day Adventists, believe in Jesus, committed to the bible and core teachings of the church. Pope Francis is our model; his words must be our guide. (Minute 33:00)
The bible cannot be taken literally, especially Leviticus 18:22 (Minute 1:19:30) Grace Oie MD, Pediatric Critical Care.
Jesus had two fathers; we affirm the LGBT lifestyle (Minute 1:32:06)
We must see in everyone the image of God, even LGBT individuals (Minute 2:04:00) Daneen Akers, MA, Film Director: Seventh-gay Adventist.
The Bible does not address the LGBT lifestyle. Paul knew nothing about our sexual orientation today, because he lived in a different era. Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-28 must be studied more because they are not as conclusive as they appear to be on the surface. The Bible cannot settle every question. (Minute 58:00 - 1:03:55) Jonathan Paulien, PhD, Professor of Religion - Theological Studies.
What should I do if I am a gay Seventh day Adventist? Answer: here are seven options. 1) Commit suicide, 2) Stay in the closet, 3) Marry a person of the opposite sex, 4) Seek change therapy by praying, reading the bible, getting counseling, 5) Engage in promiscuity, 6) Celibacy, 7) Form a loving, lasting union akin to marriage. Mr Larson stated that he only agrees with the last 2 options. (Minute 40:30, 47:00)
There is a change happening in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination to affirm the LGBT lifestyle at the grassroots, due to the work of people like Daneen Akers. (Minute 49:30)
The six texts that are usually to clobber (to condemn) people who practice the LGBT lifestyle should be removed from the bible. Then let us just love everyone. (Minute 1:22:00, 1:27:00) Davis R. Larson, DMin, PhD, Professor of Ethical Studies.
