  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

(I dont see the Q&A threads so I ask the supporting moderator to move this question to the Q&A threads once it is created as he sees fit:)

My question for Stormy is 'what do you see as the purpose of the SDA Progressive movement in regards to the overall SDA church and to the individual SDA members'?

(Also, I have to give Stormy a endorsement as well as my vote, as from what I observed at BSDA.com he took every point and thrust of ideas with careful consideration, unending paticence, and well thought out responses...)

I think progressive is more of a way things are viewed than an actual movement per se. I say that because there is no uniform set of "beliefs" that you can say progressive adventists endorse, however the one consistent variable is the desire to question. Questioning everything that we as a church believe either for clarification, or to expose error, to consider alternative interpretations, or to confirm the belief.

When that is done, the effect is that people will know why they believe what they believe, or they will discard faulty interpretations, or they might even become less dogmatic about things that have no biblical basis..... These effects can happen individually and corporately......
