APPENDIX A
The 1888 View of the Two Covenants
I. INTRODUCTION
We wish to examine the principal elements
of Jones’ and Waggoner’s view:
1. |
Why did it elicit from Ellen
White her enthusiastic endorsement? |
2. |
Why did it elicit from the Battle Creek brethren the
opposite — determined opposition? |
3. |
Does Scripture uphold the Jones/Waggoner view? |
4. |
Does their view contribute to happy, victorious Christian
experience, especially for children and youth? |
5. |
Does the view the opposing brethren held "gender to
bondage" in practical Christian experience? Is the same view
popular today? |
We do not seek to discuss stratospheric "ivory tower"
theology, but practical teaching that makes a positive difference in
daily life among all cultures. |
