"The Adventist faith took shape around the central proposition that the same Jesus who made us and saved us, is coming back soon. Our task was to warn and call forth the remnant before the Second Coming of Jesus.
A large body of believers continues to think of itself in these terms: To give sacrificially of time & funds; to rejoice over every new field entered with the gospel, to share the message with their neighbors.
But increasingly, another group is turning to the social aspects of our faith. They find themselves embarrassed by direct evangelism, and they prefer humanitarian outreach to direct soul-winning. Our premiere expectation of Christ's soon return is thus being replaced by leftist social justice causes, and committed Adventists are slowly being replaced by social justice warriors. That isn't the church I joined.
(socialist redistributions of wealth).... in the process deconstructing the Law of God down to one commandment--not two, or ten.
This intertwining of political liberalism with our end-time prophecy, given the name “Messchatology.” And it is a mess. It is found in abundance in our colleges and among certain faculty.

It requires few whips and many words. It nudges men to be their own taskmasters and to reach out their hands to the Pharaoh of Social Justice in the hope that he will save them.
Dear friend, can we hang on to our eschatological expectations regarding the Law of God without aligning ourselves with moral evils that transgress the Law of God? At a minimum, these people should recommend no politics at all.
Seventh-day Activists have promoted and participated in the redefinition of almost every doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Should their social justice proposals prevail, the character of the church would be almost entirely redefined, leaving little beyond a lingering sentiment to tie us to the work of the pioneers." F7/
Charles Scriven, publisher of Spectrum Magazine (for Adventists who hate Adventist Doctrines) made this comment about the ultra-rebellious La Sierra - “I admire La Sierra's long record of welcoming and supporting provocative teachers. I am flat out moved by the resiliency of this place,” he said.
