WS,

I share William N’s sense 1 hr ago that your comments come across as attacks. 

Here is what might make your comments more welcomed and thus more useful and in the end more effective.

Reconsider your sources, both Biblical and Sister White.  Think of them like Paul does.  Paul testifies to Timothy that “All Scripture is god-breathed and is *useful* for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness …”

Paul’s relentless practice is to testify and where useful to reference scripture by way of additional illumination.  Paul never starts with scripture. 

So simply testify as to your sense of what affords you hope in the context of faith and in the spirit of love.  Remember Jesus’ call to love your enemies?  What if that were not an obligation, and not even a tactic, but a description of one responding to seeing one’s self in another whom others only see as your enemy?

I have the sense that you want good for all of us.  What seems good for you?
