This article was a response to a video clip of pastor David Asscherick answering a question regarding SDA’s trinity doctrine. In the article, Jason has transcribed brother Asscherick’s quote and replies to its claims.
This article is Part 2 of “What is the Doctrine of Trinty.” In part 1 I discussed what the doctrine of the trinity is according to Christendom. I hope that you were edified by that post. In case you missed it, click HERE.
Hopefully, with everyone on the same page (or at least in the same chapter! Lol!) regarding what this doctrine is and what it means in Christendom at large, we are prepared to move on to discuss the doctrine of the trinity within Seventh-day Adventism.
Brother M, You requested that I write a document dealing with the context of all the quotations that brother Danny has placed on his wall. I do not have time to do this. However, what I will do is type a general expose of what some modern SDA pro-trinitarian defenders are guilty of doing. I will use some examples from Danny Laufersweiler’ article and some other sources.
Did Ellen White teach that the Fatherhood and Sonship of the 1st and 2nd Persons of the Godhead are roles that were entered upon at some distant point in eternity? Did she teach that before this decision was made that the 3 Persons were ambiguous and that any One of Them could have been the Other?
A request was made that I share the history regarding the role that Dudley Marvin Canright and his criticisms played in the introduction of the doctrine of the trinity within Seventh-day Adventism. The picture above is the inner page of one of his two books and it had an huge impact on the matter. What follows below is a part of the rough draft of my paper about this subject.
