The Papacy in Transition

[CGMedley]

Pope John Paul has died and now pope Benedict takes over. What are the implications for the Adventist church? Adventist Review editor William G. Johnsson shares a personal reflection on recent changes in the Catholic church. You can read his cogent comments on the Review website. http://www.adventistreview.org/2005-1516/story6.html

Point # 1: We believe the Lord raised us up to proclaim the "everlasting gospel"

Then you had better get busy deciding which gospel to present…I believe someone once counted that at least 7 different gospels are being taught within Adventism.

Point # 2: We protest the equivocation on the fundamental gospel--by grace alone, through faith alone (Eph. 2:8-10)--that the Papacy perpetuates through its doctrine of merits.

That’s what you say, but when the rubber meets the road you contradict this truth.
