anyone know the current wt teachings on the length of time humans have been in existence?
do they still teach that the first man and woman were created approximately 6,000 years ago?
have they made any comments on archeological findings that show paleo-indians living in the america's 10,000+ years ago?
In the 17 century Uusher calculated the earth was 6000 years old also in the same century Lightfoot caculated Adam was created at 9am on friday morning.
The cronology when using the septuagent translation of the bible made the earth 1500 years older and was rejected. Barry

As a former Adventists I was just about to post that Marmite is made up at Coorongbong New South Wales at the Seventh Day Adventist Factory there. They also have a College their where students can work to supplement their income while they go through college. The profits go to the church

Gday doug,
I have seen your posts on here for some time now. Your name rings a bell and I dont know if i am right but are you an Adventist or former Adventist with Good News Unlimited? I am also a former Adventist. Barry
finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.
we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.
apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.
This must be one of the highlights of JWN. Barry

october 22, 1844, was a day of great anticipation for some 50,000 people on the east coast of the united states.
Hebrews chapter 9 has our Lord entering the most holy place at the ascention. Look at the context in hebrews 9 everthing there is in refference to the day of atonement. 1844 or a two phase ministry of our Lord is not included here. Barry
according to this program, which i am watching right now, the 7th-day adventists number only around a million in the u.s.a., yet they have built multiple hospitals, clinics, and health programs with a holistic leaning.... from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/seventh-day_adventist_church.

since the 1860s when the church began, wholeness and health have been an emphasis of the adventist church.

Gday Designs, There are differences in SDA policy from one congeration to another so you could be right but I can say there is no official poIicy on shunning. Barry

Gday Zidinna and Steve,
I was a bit confused about the reference to sinning when the good professors main thrust of his talk was apostasy.
Willful sins such as breaking the commandments are delt with by talking to the pastor or in very bad cases a person may be disfellowshiped until they are repentant. Of course we all sin everyday.
Apostasy is different it only amounts to a difference of opinion. My opinions may be closer to the evangelical end of the spectrum and I would be regarded as apostate to someone from the traditional sector and visa versa. A pastor in the church has to be more carefull as he is paid by the church he may be fired if he was to upset people with his personal opinions. It has been said a pastor can beleive anything and as long as he doesn't upset people but if he was to question 1844 and the investigative judgement [an Adventist fundamental teaching] he would be fired.
An ordinary parishioner such as myself can take issue with something you may dissagree on at church or in a bible study without any consequence I have done it many times. We go to the Anglican churrch now and I just hope they are the same.
Of course shunning doesn't exist in the SDAs.
Barry
