WASHINGTON D.C.—Last Wednesday, an interfaith group stood before the Supreme Court and declared their support for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. The North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists Religious Liberty director, Orlan Johnson stood among them. Source.
Posing for a photo-op, this ecumenical group of faith leaders prayed that the United States Senate would confirm Jackson for the Supreme Court. SDA Orlan Johnson prayed:
“I’m aware that there’s nobody here that has the power to handle the Senate like you,” he prayed. “Help them to understand, God, that we do not have to put ourselves in a situation where just because we are different, we have to be divided. Just because we want to be partisan, that’s not the only way to be patriotic.”
Also part of this group was Maggie Siddiqi, the director of the Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative at Center for American Progress, a partisan liberal political action group of the Democratic party.
Observations
The NAD is being super political in this action. These are the people who lecture conservatives against being political. The NAD (a religious organization) is also mixing politics and religion by asking that the Senate confirm this person to the Supreme Court. These are the people who lecture against mixing religion and politics.
Is the North American Division ok with placing a person on the highest court in the nation who is unsure what a woman is? Apparently so.
During the Senate confirmation hearings, Ketanji Jackson was asked to define what a woman is.
Jackson’s reply — that she was unable to answer because she’s not a biologist — has already spawned a thousand memes. The nominee, who was chosen by a president who said he wanted to nominate a (black) woman, was unwilling to provide a definition for “woman” during her confirmation hearings. If it wasn’t so troubling, it would be amusing.
The question of what a woman is, is a profoundly important one, exposing the fundamental chasm between a godless neo-pagan culture and those of us who have a biblical worldview.
It is rather rich irony that a division who is obsessed with ordaining women is now (through their RL department) supporting the Supreme Court nomination of someone who doesn’t know what a woman is. I’ll leave it to you to figure out why.
Is the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ok with one of its divisions urging the U.S. Senate to confirm a ‘gender confused’ individual to the United States Supreme Court, where future ‘gender’ questions will probably be decided?
Dear Orlan Johnson. Two questions for you.
What is a woman?
What is an Adventist?
