Unfortunately, when a religion is ruled by rules and regulations, including the law, that religion will lack Spiritual Soundness. We can't live according to the keeping and observing the rules, because the law doesn't change the heart, but if The Holy Spirit was invited in the religion, THEN, there's no need of constantly having board meetings to regulate music and what is holy and what is not! The very ones Alma was proud of were homosexuals and fornicators and wolves, BUT they had the ability to sing, Lucifer could sing, it's not enough to have the "talent" but you must be "BORN AGAIN" IN THE HOLY SPIRIT! Even within the Aeolians, there were all kinds of things going on, yes, I was an Aeolian! And sadly, EGW thought by creating rules and regulations, she could keep her sheep in line, but she failed to submit to The Holy Spirit and failed to teach her sheep to Be Filled with The Holy Spirit and if she submitted to the Spirit, Alma wouldn't feel the need to get folks in line, The Scriptures through The Spirit would do it!
I love Dr. Alma Blackmon
Wow! When was this?
