Liberal and conservative are very hard to define, especially as we have so many different options that get both labels. In the religious field on the one hand those who minimize the Bible are seen as the liberals, and those who maximize the Bible are labled as conservative. But those who question 1844 as well as those of us who support 1844 are Biblical maxamists, but the Fordites are called liberals and we supporting 1844 are the conservatives. But many of us believe that the Bible teaches women's ordination, and others believe that the Bible does not teach women's ordination, so here we who believe in women's ordination are considered liberals and those who are against women's ordinaiton are seen as the conservatives. There are people who question Mrs. White's inspiration and those who believe in her ordination, the questioners are called liberals and those of us who believe in her are conservative. But there are prople who see her pre-1888 writings as from God and her post 1888 writings from what she read, her increased interaction with non-Adventists, and very much influenced by people such as Willie, Daniels and Prescott, so the everything before 1888 are called consdervatives and those who include her post 1888 writings liberals. The list goes on and on and on. We need to develope better vocabulary. Same thing with the terms "Old" and "New" Theology. "New Theology" has been used as a lable for such groups as those who did not accept the fundamentalist view of inspiration. It has also been used for Mrs. White's post 1888 writings and Adventists who believe in the trinity. It has also been used to seperate the Fordites from the rest of the Adventists. And the so called "Historic Adventists" use it for anyone who does not fit their subgroup of Adventists, no matter how similar or different any specific idea is to theirs.

1 Timothy 3:14-4:5 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving; for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
