The Council of Jerusalem is summed up in Acts 15:28, 29. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell. No mention of abstaining from unclean meats. Yet we know that the gentile world ate unclean animals. The history on this is that the founders of the Adventist church did not settle the matter. It did not appear in our fundamental beliefs until after the death of Ellen White. The whole thrust of not eating unclean meats is in regard to health. It is part of the health message. That is how it is framed in the baptismal vows and in our book Seventh-day Adventists believe. Seventh-day Adventists do not believe that eating unclean meats will make a person ceremonially unclean. Abstaining from unclean meat is part of our health message. Understanding that, if given the option to eat some beans with lard in them or eat a side order of french fries, which would be the healthier choice? The beans would be. The fat content in the beans would be far less and the carbohydrates would be far superior to what is in the french fries.

The General Conference of SDAs has issued a warning to SDA members and institutions against an alleged fraud that it is alleged has acted against SDAs and SDA institutions. YOu may access information about this alleged fraud at: http://spectrummagazine.org/article/2017/07/17/travel-agency-fraud-warning-issued-general-conference-office-general-counsel It should be noted that I do not have any information as to the validity of this charge and neither I nor this website asserts that the named individual (organization/company) is acting in a legally fraudulent manner. Further, while it is stated that the named individual has been given an opportunity to respond to this charge, and he is said to be preparing a response, this website and I have no knowledge as to what response he may have made. I think the value of this warning is that we, as individual and as a corporate organization, must choose carefully those with whom we have business relationships. Even when there is no attempt to conduct fraud, one may become unable to provide contracted services.

Aside that.. It's plain obvious DT totally aint no licker, with no fear to simply be his true self.. That's rather amazingly rare to find amongst public figures and politicians..
