The September 2023 issue is dedicated to questioning the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of gender issues, and undermining our Biblical position on gender and sexuality.
The six authors of this troubling church paper edition are Johannes Naether, Werner Dullinger, Andreas Bochman, Arndt Buessing, Lorethy Starck, and Klaus van Treek. All of these are liberal-progressive leaders, pastors, or professors, as well as strong influencers within SDA Germany.
There are two Unions in Germany, Northern and Southern. Johannes Naether is President of the North, and Werner Dullinger is President of the South. They, along with the authors of this newsletter are working together to advance a liberal agenda in Germany.
"This is unacceptable. This must be addressed.
This issue cannot be smoothed over.
Correcting this is necessary, even to the loss of all church properties in Germany."

Q: What about our members in Germany?
Q: Do we have faithful Seventh-day Adventists in that country?
A: Yes, we do.
To our faithful brethren in Germany, we care about what you are enduring. You are in our prayers
(For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. 2 Corinthians 1:12).
Take heart. You are not alone.
Commit yourselves to the Word of God daily.
Relief is coming, one way or another.
--Feminism loosened the gender binary anchor pins,
--LGBTQ+ rips the anchor pins out of the ground altogether."

"To hate and reprove sin, and at the same time to show pity and tenderness for the sinner, is a difficult attainment.
The more earnest our own efforts to attain to holiness of heart and life, the more acute will be our perception of sin and the more decided our disapproval of any deviation from the right.
a) We must guard against undue severity toward the wrongdoer,
b) but we must also be careful not to lose sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin.
a) There is need of showing Christlike patience and love for the erring one,
b) but there is also danger of showing so great toleration for his error that he will look upon himself as undeserving of reproof, and will reject it as uncalled for and unjust.." {E.G.W. AA 503.3}
