The Biblical Research Institute (BRI) is a General Conference Institution that is probably little known in among Adventists. I consider it to be a valuable resource. The following link takes you to the current issue of its digital publication. It is distributed free of charge by e-mail. In addition to this publication, I consider it to have published valuable books which it lists on its website. https://www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/Reflections-77-January-March-2022.pdf?utm_source=All+Subscribers&utm_campaign=85141e8cd2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_09_10_06_37_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_efe1c280cb-85141e8cd2-150218681#page=9

As a former SDA congregational pastor, we did not disfellowship anyone who wanted to remain a member. We did not think that other formal discipline was necessary. As SDA clergy, I have been involved in multiple cases of SDA leaders becoming involved in misconduct. I have seen the best happen when congregations simply went to the Lord and asked that God would do what was needed and God then did.

How did we go from Christ being able to sin, to fallen angels having sex with human women?

It is my opinion that all things reproduce "after their kind". I believe that human kind is a different kind from spirit kind. I personally do not believe that spirit beings can produce offspring with human beings. I do believe that spirit beings can appear in human form.

Rachel said in the quote below: The fact that Ellen White had a faulty understanding of the Trinity demonstrated the truth of her statements to the effect that the Bible was the standard and Ellen White's writings were to be judged by the Bible. We today, as in the time of Ellen White are to go to the Bible to see what the Bible teaches as a standard of our doctrinal beliefs. This does not mean that we are to exclude what EGW said from our consideration of doctrinal understandings any more than we should exclude what I may say in a sermon on Saturday morning. Hopefully, both what I may say in that sermon as well as what EGW may have written will have some value in our consideration of a doctrinal position. However, regardless of that, both EGW and my Saturday sermon are to be subjected to the authority of the Bible and if the Bible disagrees with what either of us has said, we are wrong and the Bible is correct..
