SDA Issues - The Green Controversy Vs. the Great Controversy

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel... Galatians 1:6

 

 “.......men will employ every policy to make less prominent the difference between the faith of Seventh-day Adventists and those who observe the first day of the week. 

In this controversy the whole world will be engaged, and the time is short” 

E.G.W.

 

 

"Adventist churches in Germany have published a new initiative on

The Green Controversy

the environment called “Sustainable Faith.” Both the leadership of the North German Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and the South German Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists have replaced the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12) with a new “sustainable faith” on the environment.

They talked about the need of protecting the environment and quoted from the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). They also discussed the need of “networking” together with other “Christians” to “support one another in this matter.” They stated:

“Climate change is also a concrete threat to our livelihoods … The picture is also very clear when it comes to faith and sustainability: over 90 percent believe that it is the Christian mandate to preserve creation … The environmental awareness study by the Federal Environment Ministry (2018) had already found that climate protection and sustainability received high affective and cognitive approval rates among the population.” 

This has become the new preoccupation as the two Seventh-day Adventist Union Conferences in Germany met to announce their ecological intentions moving forward. The urgent challenge is to protect our common home.

This is the same rhetoric that Rome and the United Nations propose in their calls for ecological conversion. And now our union

The Great Controversy

conferences have just announced their plan to redeem the planet. This is not a vision on how to save souls as Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19, 20. This is not an initiative to reaffirm our commitment to take the Three Angels’ Messages to the world.

This is the same narrative outlined in Laudato Si’, the Pope’s climate agenda, on how to heal the planet.

---The new chief concern is over the sins against the trees, the rocks, the wind and the animals. 

---The environmental sins have become more urgent than the sins against God’s law.

---Rome’s new Green Controversy has replaced God’s Great Controversy."
