We can “follow the Bible” back to polygamy.  We can “follow the Bible” back to ethnic cleansing.  We can “follow the Bible” to a flat earth.  We can “follow the Bible” to justify slavery.  And we can “follow the Bible” to justify the subordination of women by men.  But we cannot follow Jesus to polygamy, you cannot follow Jesus to ethnic cleansing,  and you need not ignore the plain evidence of earth sciences to follow Jesus.   The SDA church has moved far beyond its closed-shut-door-USA only, righteousness-by-obedience, atonement-of-an-angry-father, salvation-by-no jewelry and viewing the Bible as a King James quote-it-in-English unthinking literalism.  We are learning that the Bible is true but not the Truth, it is an introduction to the Truth.  It shows us what people thought and did to shows us what NOT to do as often as it shows us what to do.  Thank God the SDA church has moved, and it must move again, for the Way, the Truth, and the Life is always moving on and up and higher.
