How Women's Ordination Destroys The Fundamental Beliefs

#1. Holy Scriptures

Most Pro-Women Ordination ideas are based on the idea that "women ordination is not specifically prohibited in the Bible".  this is not a correct hermeneutic wherewith our doctrines and practices are understood.  instead our beliefs and practices are "according to the word", Isaiah 8:20.

prohibition is non-accordingness, but not all non-accordingness is prohibition.
here is a demonstration of differences between prohibition and accordingness.


#2. Trinity
non-prohibition: does the bible say there cannot be four, or five or six... persons in the Godhead?
accordingness: the bible says God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

#3. Father
non-prohibition: does the bible say God is not a mother?
accordingness: the bible says God is Father.

#15. Baptism
non-prohibition: does the bible prohibit infant baptism?  does the bible prohibit shower baptism?
accordingness: the bible prescribes baptism by immersion after teaching.

#20. Sabbath
non-prohibition: does the bible prohibit transfer of sacredness to sunday? does the bible prohibit observance of other days?
accordingness: the bible prescribes 7th day Sabbath observance.

#23. Marriage and the family
non-prohibition: does the bible prohibit three wives, four wives, 100 wives?
accordingness: God made one husband and one wife.

#26. Death and Resurrection
non-prohibition: does the bible say that the soul does not or cannot go to purgatory?
accordingness: the bible says the dead don't know anything.

#12. Church
non-prohibition: do everything that the bible does not prohibit. loose theology.
accordingness: difference between pure and harlot woman (church) is that pure church's doctrines and practices are all according to the bible while harlot church's doctrines and practices are mixed with man's opinion/tradition/inventions.

#25. Second Coming
non-prohibition: don't care if church doctrines and practices are purely according to bible, opinion / politics / smoothsaying more important.
accordingness: Jesus coming back for pure church.

#26. Stewardship
non-prohibition: does the bible prohibit changing of tithe from 10% to 5%?
accordingness: tithe is "a tenth".


... more to come

So what hermeneutic will be used for Women Ordination?
non-prohibition: Does the bible prohibit women ordination?
accordingness: TOSC agrees that only men are ordained.

Conclusion:
If we use non-prohibition, it will destroy the fundamental beliefs.  Non-prohibition hermeneutic is not for Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and practices.  It might be for other denominations.  But Seventh-day Adventists require accordingness based on Isaiah 8:20 "If they speak not according to this word there is no light in them".

Sabbath Cooking Excuses Investigated Copyright 2016 Winelfred G. Pasamba Foreword "God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber."—Testimonies for the Church 5:453. ChS 159.2 This is a very difficult, very shaking, very testing, very new and controversial (for many who are not oriented) topic and I request the readers not go to Chapter 3 & 4 unless they have read Chapter 1 & 2.  If you go directly to Chapter 3, you probably will be highly uncomfortable if you have no testimony of avoiding cooking on the Sabbath.
