For your consideration is a SDA authored article exactly on point. I’m also reviewing a few more which I’ll share the links to.

So...

...I took a look. Read a bunch.

The guy’s not beginning at any sort of beginning; he presupposes buy-in w/resp to huge tracts of Adventist teaching, so he “talks past the sale” repeatedly assuming his readers are all so well-versed in the roots of the crucial assertions he makes that any explanation of actual scriptural support is unnecessary.

So, in what volume are these presupposed claims actually driven to grade and proved to be anchored in scripture? ‘Cuz this book ain’t that book, and I’m not buying off on claims that can’t trace to a specific scriptural pedigree.

I gave you, earlier, a basic rule of thumb for sound Biblical hermeneutics:
When the plain sense makes sense seek no other sense.

Now I’ll teach you another:
If the claimed sense doesn’t match the sense of the scriptural cite it’s nonsense.
