What spirit is behind this massive push for so-called "academic freedom" on SDA campuses? Especially now infiltrating the seminary (which needs to be defended at all costs).
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field...
Genesis 3:1
".....But now, 8 years after La Sierra University (LSU), the
Academic Freedom storm has struck Adventist academia again. This is where we came in. But ground zero this time was not the Science Department but the School of Theology, the Seminary, the very heart of Adventist theology, at Andrews University.
But all such Academic revolts are sequels of the world’s first Freedom Revolt at the Garden of Eden, the first institution of higher knowledge, with the first visiting professor challenging the established paradigm, alas, successfully. Rolling his eyes and uttering the first Socratic questions, he asked, “Did God tell you that? Do you not catch it? He wants freedom for Himself, not you. For you He wants rules, commandments! Suppression! Suppression of a better knowledge by which you shall be like gods! Seriously, the scientific evidence is all against everything He told you. And I can prove it -- on myself!” And he did. The megaphones and Molotov cocktails would come later.
Actually the revolt for freedom, any crazy kind, began untold eons before that, in heaven itself, with Satan the Father of all Revolts-for-Freedom using the same arguments he would use in the Garden of Eden, U.C. Berkeley, LSU, Andrews U., and Zuccotti Park." Fulcrum7
