Palmdale Conference 1976: Ang Debate na Nag-divide sa SDA Church!

Noong 1976, nagtipon ang SDA church ng mga scholars mula Australia at America sa California para sagutin ang isang mainit na tanong:

"Does righteousness by faith mean justification lang ba, o kasama rin ang sanctification?"

At stake? Kung kaya bang ma-achieve ng last generation ng SDAs ang sinless perfection bago bumalik si Cristo.

• Isang camp: Justification is forensic—standing mo sa harap ng Diyos, hindi ang state mo. 
• Other camp: Righteousness must include sanctification—kung hindi, cheap grace lang ‘yan.

Sounds familiar? Hindi lang ito Adventist history. Ito yung age-old tension between grace and works na bawat generation ay pinoproblema.

At ang Palmdale Conference 1976? Natapos nang walang malinaw na sagot.

Challenge ko sa’yo: buksan mo ang Bible. Aralin mo ang Protestant Reformation ng 16th century. Huwag mong hayaang palitan ng writings ng false prophet na si Ellen G. White na palaging culprit of the crime sa kaligtasan, ang Scripture bilang final authority mo.

The Word alone. Christ alone. Grace alone.

Kung ang mga ganitong deep theological truths ay nagpapainit ng puso mo, follow this page at mag-comment kung saan ka pumapanig sa debate ng grace versus works. Kasi dito pa lang tayo nagsisimula.
