Seventh-Day Adventists/Expert Profile
Expertise
I'm interested in questions regarding the law in the NT. I also like questions about justification, sanctification, the seal of God, and the nature of Christ. I spent many years as a Sabbath keeper and tithe payer. I can also opine on EGW from the perspective of a well read student of her writings.
Experience in the area
More than 30 years an SDA member, graduate of an SDA college. Former community chaplain at "New Folsom" state prison. Spent several years serving the gay community during the AIDS crisis.

Education/Credentials
30 years of Bible study, most of it from an SDA perspective. Basic knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, specifically word studies and contribution of the LXX to NT understanding. Extensive study of EGW, more than fifty of her books read in their entirety.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Nearly all Adventist "proof texts" regarding the law in the NT are misunderstood by those offering them as proof.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
The sophisticated doctrines of Adventism obscure the central teaching of justification by faith and the preeminence of the cross in Christian teaching.
