JoeMo Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 In another topic, another member stated that the SDA Church has revised its theology on several occasions when there was sound biblical evidence to do so. I asked that he provide some examples. His response was that that is a subject for another thread. So here is that thread. Does anyone have any examples of revision to significant points of theology sine EGW's death - especially any since the mid-20th century? I would be interested to see those. Quote

B/W Photodude Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I am not totally sure about the TruthSeekers site, but am looking over their material. Some of the historical stuff is interesting.

So what got taken out and what got put back in? Were any of the "taken out" put back in or something different? Would be interesting to line them all up next to each other and look at the changes.

JoeMo Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 From the versions I have read, revisions seem to be "refinements" or "clarifications" rather than changes to doctrine. Quote
