Thanks for the links, Brother Bill.
Generally we keep our discussions dealing with difficulties in the church in the SDA forums. In this case it is good to have this post here in a public forum. It is not enough for Sevneth-day Adventists to understand this issue. The church did indeed take a wrong position on the matter. There is no safety in eating any animal products. It is a very risky business today.
For the sake of those who do not know, who have not seen the light the church has been given it is our responsibility to provide the information we have been blessed to receive.
Over a hundred years ago, God sent a prophet into our world and told us "the time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth."
"Soon" and "near" were many years ago. The world can now see without the words of a prophet that the time has come when all aniimal products are a very real risk to our health and our very life.
Ten years ago before England declared BSE a human risk we had begun warning the public that it was. Today, all may know that transmissible sprongiform disease is a risk to human life and that it comes from animals.
Thanks again for your informative post. We appreciate your fellowship with us online.
