Title: True Blood: Race, Science, and Early Adventist Amalgamation Theory Revisited

Nuff Sed,
Before you catch Ebola, please note that this is your fellow Adventist, only more brutally honest and with some serious brains to boot

My  view is  that  White’s  statements  on  amalgamation  are  indefensible  but  that  at  least  potentially her  thinking  on  matters  of  race  grew  over  time.    The  moral  arc  of  White’s  views  on  race (to  paraphrase  Martin  Luther  King  Jr.)  may  have  been  long—or  at  least  longer  than  we had  initially  hoped—but  they  bent  toward  justice.    This  to  me  as  an  Adventist  is  what matters.

See how SDAs have attempted some braindead Whitewash(pun :lolz:) of their prophet's lunacy;

You know, vooke, no amount of making fun of Daily Bread will ever convert Daily Bread or make her leave her religion; nor she you. I'm sure no amount of fun-making at sola-scriptura or sola-fide that I do will make you stop believing it either. So what's the point of the constant hounding of Adventism these days? Its enough already. How would you feel if every time you logged in to your favorite political forum you found a thread attacking your beliefs all the time? Imagine one of the resident atheists hounding you all the time for your beliefs. C'mon now. Start an anti-Catholic or an anti-Islamic or anti-evolution or anti-AIDS-denialism thread or something, for a change. Let Daily Bread go back to giving us those nice, edifying sermons she used to prepare for us here, rather than being constantly occupied with fending you off.

Bella,

Thanks for the sober perspective. Voke digging up things and bringing them for discussion is fine. Thanks too, I hope to post more sermons. Glad you like them.

Nuff Sed,
Isn't it interesting that as recently as 1976 SDAs advised against interracial marriages?

Look at page 1o of Review and Herald

This is a lingering legacy of EGW amalgamation theories but I may be wrong and Nuff Sed can enlighten us on the rationale for this clause that was removed in 1992
