Question
why do you pose as an expert in seventh-day Adventist believes when you have never been educated by Seventh-Day Adventist educators that have the knowledge rather Baptist educators.

Answer
Hi Ana,

Thanks for this very pointed question.  I am an expert in the Bible.  Many SDA folks are very interested in what the Bible says because they have a high regard for the Bible as our standard of truth.  I can help in those areas.

I have spent 6 years studying SDA theoplgy and discussing it with SDA folks.   I spent 4 years in Walla Walla Washington where the SDA's make up 49% of the population.  I went door to door talking with thousands of them.  I even appeared as a guest teacher at Walla Walla College, an SDA ministry school.  

Yes it is true that I myself am not SDA, but I am an expert in the Bible and very familiar with SDA doctrine.  I do not pose as an SDA believer myself, just a Bible believer.  I do not mean to mislead anyone and if I have offended you, I am very sorry.

In Christ
Pastor Don
