It was very difficult to obtain information about anything the church hierarchy did not see fit to tell us. All this changed, of course, with the dawn of the Internet. The arrival of online religion is as consequential as when printing presses brought the written word to medieval Europe. With religious literacy dramatically on the upswing, cyber-Christians find a new appreciation for personal freedom in Christ. Cyberspace affords us the priesthood of all believers.
Information is a tool that empowers the lives of even the lowest social class.
The Internet was a significant and valuable tool in our quest for truth. A wide spectrum of Seventh-day Adventists, know very little about their history, theology, organizational structure, and governing policies. When an inquiring member determines that even one doctrinal pillar is not Biblical, it clearly creates concern that other teachings may not pass close scrutiny as well. It truly boggles our minds how we could have believed all those things for so many years. We give praise to our Lord Jesus for our priceless freedom from the slavery and bondage of legalism.
