If the leadership at the top had responded to the pandemic by supporting liberty of conscience and promoting the health message, I wouldn’t be up at six in the morning writing this article.

Monks and ministers, modernists and mystics, all found common ground in critical re-interpretation of the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

Last Sabbath we learned of troubling connections that the General Conference of the Adventist church (and other churches) has made with the United Nations and its right arm, the World Health Organization.

After Ron Kelly’s closing argument that relocation was not a logical remedy for a pastor accused of bullying and fomenting dissent, MISDA doubled down on their defamation and fired him.

Research by myself, theologians and Biblical scholars has not uncovered references to a person’s “sexual orientation” in Scripture. It’s not there.

And remember that the goal of a deep state is: Self-preservation at all costs. The Second Coming threatens the SDA Deep State, and every cause and consequence of sin in our hearts.

Ron Kelly was removed from his position because he was insisting on the due-process rights of not only Dr. Vine, but all local SDA church members, from arbitrary disciplinary action by a distant conference.   

I have yet to see an humble and sincere effort to admit any wrongdoing on the part of church leadership and I believe this would go a long way toward healing the rifts in our church.

I consider both of those actions to be poorly considered efforts to achieve an end without the benefit of bringing the laity along.  Questions and even accusations in return were predictable and unavoidable once that approach was taken.

Though our GC president has challenged us to Hold Him Accountable, where is the mechanism where we can dialogue and pursue truth?  How can we hold leaders accountable?

I know many brothers and sisters all over Europe and I can assure you that in every single country there are brothers and sisters who are following this whole situation closely and are outraged by the recent events. 

In the last meeting, when Dr. Conrad Vine was present, the MISDA President affirmed that the insurance for the new clinic would not be approved until Dr. Conrad Vine was removed from his positions.

In the meantime I want to encourage you to watch a series of sermons that I preached a few years ago entitled True Men Wanted.

They have attempted to cripple a church that was thriving and doing God’s work. They have done this DIRECTLY against the wishes of those who attend that church.

Why does this matter? Why do I speak thus? Because the WHO is seeking global authority to declare actual or potential pandemics, and the legal right to impose vaccine mandates upon every human on planet earth.

Should “peer-reviewed scientific literature” be a source of authority in the SDA Church?

In the action against Pastor Ron Kelly, the MISDA officers and leadership team would serve as the both prosecution and the prosecutorial witnesses.

We do not help each other in the fight for holiness when we allow for righteousness to look increasingly strange and sin to look increasingly normal.

They fed themselves, but they did not feed the flock.  They had decent salaries, a solid retirement plan, good health insurance, tax breaks, and yet they did not feel grateful to God for these things. 

The question on the table is, Why would a highly esteemed SDA evangelist with the audience and influence of Mark Finley have done this?  Does he really believe Conrad Vine is a tare or a piece of chaff in the church?   

With few exceptions, SDA physicians fell in line with the official narrative.  Physicians are no different from other people when it comes to the temptation to sheep-like behavior.

Yet today, both of these men have been aggressively de-platformed, cancelled, and silenced by the very church that they have given their lives to build up.

I share all of this with you, because I am beyond appalled at the decision of the Michigan Conference to fire my father from the Village SDA Church.

In addition to submitting my exemption request, I joined an organization which filed a lawsuit and eventually secured a nationwide injunction against the mandate I was facing. 

After Francis’ statement, Head Elder Tom Wilson stood up and made this clarification, “Pastor Kelly has been transitioned out of the state of Michigan (not just the Village Church).”

Ron Kelly and Conrad Vine became well known for demonstrating leadership during the pandemic and the SDA church’s questionable response to it. Although they would not claim the title for themselves, each of these three men are modern day reformers,

Ron Kelly has handled himself very well in the aftermath of the Michigan Conference’s vendetta against Conrad Vine. He sought to be transparent and to resolve the situation through the proper channels. Today he was fired.

This state of affairs brings to mind Rodney King's post trial plea: "Can't we all get along?"  The reality is that there are many things in this life that will always remain mutually exclusive.
