As for the SDA church and any "official doctrine" about sin, it is more than obvious that on more than a few issues the SDA church has no identity to defend of deny.

When they opted for pluralism, it let them off the hook to define and articulate any specific doctrine and every "Tom, Dick, and Harry" made up his own theology and passed it off as valid in the church.

And the liberals make hay with this reality. But so do the false conservatives claiming they have the one and only valid view of sin, atonement, nature of Christ and salvation.

We are now a generic church that his no identity to define or defend. All we can do is pontificate that we are the final remnant with no definition. Obvious ripe for the eccumenical movement that many SDA's already embrace and advocate, and why not?

And as Grew said to one of his minions, "You're not helping". (Despicable Me 2).

On basic bible faith, the SDA church has no consistent doctrine thanks to Pluralism.
