NAD, Andrews University, and others state that “Non-practicing gay persons should be welcomed into membership and church office.” How would the pastors and the evangelists know who are the non-practicing homosexuals, before baptism? Do the pastors and the evangelists want the non-practicing homosexuals to confess their inclinations to homosexuality to them? If the pastors and evangelists should say that they have no desire to have such confessions made to them, then there was no need for the 21-page document. It might be the case that some of these professed non-practicing homosexuals are baptized and voted into leadership positions in the church. It is a possibility that the non-practicing homosexuals will change their statuses and begin to practice sodomy. It is also a possibility that the pastors and elders would not be notified of the changes in statuses. By those subtle steps, there will be practicing homosexuals in the church overtly and covertly. If the majority of them remain in secret practicing sodomy, while in leadership positions in the church, what has the 21-page position paper accomplished? Nothing. Therefore, we have come full circle, in the sense that there most likely are practicing homosexuals occupying membership and leadership positions presently in the churches, according to the voted guidelines at the summit conference in Cape Town, South Africa, by the GC governing body. What happens if the non-practicing homosexuals change their statuses to practicing homosexuality, while being members in leadership positions? The following might be the result. “NUC leadership says it would strongly advise against any steps to revoke the membership of LGBTI people.” NAD states, “We strongly affirm that homosexual persons have a place in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.”

"The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: 'Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world...’” {GC 565.1} "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." I saw that many have so much rubbish piled up at the door of their heart that they cannot get the door open. Some have difficulties between themselves and their brethren to remove. Others have evil tempers, selfish covetousness, to remove before they can open the door. Others have rolled the world before the door of their heart, which bars the door. All this rubbish must be taken away, and then they can open the door and welcome the Savior in. {1T 143.2}

This national apostasy will speedily be followed by national ruin.The protest of Bible truth will be no longer tolerated by those who have not made the law of God their rule of life.” {RH, June 15, 1897 par. 10}

When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly purposes were often concealed...Under various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of state, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations...The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over Europe [and the world], and wherever they went, there followed a revival of popery.” {GC 235.1}

He shall enter also into the glorious land...” Daniel 11:40, 41. “The world is stirred with the spirit of war. The prophecy of the eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place.” {9T 14.2}
