God himself, we believe, is a being of law. He is not capricious or arbitrary. It undergirds the Adventist educational enterprise. The other pole of Adventist thought is the essential goodness of creation. It is morally obligatory to show respect for God's artistry through the way we treat our bodies.
Nature is a valued resource for spiritual life.
You will find some of this in other systems of Christian theology, but no denomination has a theology that is as wholistic and respectful of humanity as Adventism. No other theological culture does a better job of balancing a reverential regard for the Bible and God's transcendence with a high regard for creation and humanity. We need to connect grace and discipline. We should set term limits for church presidents and ensure that all church legislative bodies include at least fifty percent laity. We should ordain women or dethrone Ellen White.
