To a position that we took on our platform. And so we don't owe anybody, we don't owe anybody our platform our second time, you know what I'm saying? I think for any, like, any. And I've heard a lot of people say this like you should have, yada, yada, yada. Mainly because it's one particular SDA leader Who's been pushing this narrative that, oh, they're not giving us me, you know, I think because he really wants to come on, you know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, it's like a lot of SDA people was like, thank you for actually, like clarifying what you mean. I'm going to actually research the stuff that was, that was given and study myself, yada, yada. So a lot of people were actually thankful. And then the last thing I'll say is, you know, there was, there was a, a time, a time frame. It was a particular type of time frame from the first and second conversation. Because one, we do things on our time over here. And I don't mean this, I don't, I don't mean to like sound rude, but you know, like, we're going to have the third conversation when we feel like having it. You know what I'm saying? Like, yes. And I, and so I don't, I don't mean to sound rude. It's just like, just because you feel away about it doesn't mean I have to have the third conversation on your timing because I didn't have the first conversation on your timing and I didn't have the second conversation on your timing. But I did say that we're going to have the third conversation and it will happen when we get a person that we feel like will be a good person to kind of interview, yada, yada, yada. And lastly, what I'll say is only a position was explained. Nobody's character was attacked, nobody's leaders were attacked particularly. And you live in a world where people are going to have different views of theology and it's really about, it's really not nothing about, you know, like, it's no ill will on the SCA church per se. It's about how can we figure out what God wants, what God represents if this theology is aligns with the historical text. And I think that we all have a moral responsibility, responsibility to uphold the word of God. And I think nobody should take it personal. You know, I'm saying one of the things that I've told a couple of people, if somebody came and said that my theology was off, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be upset. You know what I'm saying? As a matter of fact, I get people every week saying that I'm a part of the white man's religion, I'm a part of a cult. You know, I'm this, I'm that. One of the things that you'll never see me doing is being upset about about it because I know I'm not. You know what I'm saying? And so at the end of the day it's unrealistic for for my my views never to be challenged. And so when you get defensive, it just kind of it kind of enforces what was said in the first place. And so, you know, but I say that to say this a third conversation will happen. Don't mean to be rude food. I know a lot of people were offended. It wasn't done out of ill will or malicious intent. It really wasn't. There's just just some things that Dr. Eric Mason, brother Thunder and even myself had some questions about what lng White taught with the but still like in official SDA documentation on their website in their in their in there in their statements and stuff even to this day day that we question I think the questions were legit was legitimate and we have the conversation soon when when we pray about who who we should have.
