HP: Simply another bad question, one that deserves no answer from BR. You are suggesting that if one believes he is fallible that one of necessity must be able to point to a doctrine or idea in error. That is simply not true.
I believe what I believe. You do the same. We both admit that we are fallible. Just the same, that does not mean there is any specific belief of our own that we directly feel as in error, it simply means that ‘in the light and understanding I now have’ I have faith that what I believe is indeed true, but I also realize that if God grants to me new light and understanding some of my beliefs may indeed change. One cannot point to ‘which ones are in error’ until new revelation or light is granted, and it is not required to be able to do so to also believe we are fallible. Again, your question is simply in error.
By the way, have you stopped beating you wife yet?
I have suggested no such thing. This is not about what "I believe" or BR believes.
All of EGW's writings concerning Christian doctrines are available to read, complete and finished since she is no longer with us.
You are missing the content of my questions. I did not ask BR what HE believes about EGW. I asked him what does the SDA church believe (this would be what do they tell their members concerning the possible inerrancy of EGW's writings on Christian doctrines).
Your analogy about an individual receiving new light and changing one's mind has nothing to do with a organizations stand on the completed writings of any specific author.
I am certain the SDA church has studied in depth the writings of EGW and would have the ability to answer my questions without any reservations. I don't think they would say "
well, so far she has been inerrant, but that could change some day for us".
Her writings have ended, there is nothing else she is going to say that might change their minds.
Now Bob has spoken on behalf of the SDA, as only he could here since he is a SDA. He has answered that the SDA church believes EGW's writings concerning Christian doctrines ARE fallible. BTW Bob, do you have any official church statement that states Ellen is fallible? Just curious.
So I may ask a "good" question and inquire just which writings does the SDA church believe to be in error?
Never heard of a "bad" question or a question in "error". If there are none, then just say none! Whats the problem?
Now if the SDA church does NOT find ANY errors in Ellen's writings concerning Christian doctrine then it is decietful on their part to say that her writings on this subject can be fallible for they truly have already concluded that they are correct.
Here is how dumb this would sound........
What you said is correct HP, but you could be wrong! Pretty stupid statement wouldn't you say? Well, maybe that is a bad question. Bad steaver, bad.:laugh: (just joshing ya bro)
God Bless! :thumbs:
ps. who told you I was beating my wife?
