    page 7 of Amalgamation Revisited.
    Let's look at Uriah Smith's defense of amalgamation more clearly

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxrT0F-mwJf1M3ZzU1lEYVZmSUU/edit?usp=docslist_api

    Amalgamation themes were never opposed by EGW yet they were quite frequent in SDA paraphernalia throughout EGW's life alongside her articles

    Page 7. Let's look at Review and Herald closely
    BobRyan grab a hold of Review and Herald 1901 November, page 721 and see AMALGAMATION interpreted as BEASTIALITY. Will share the specific copy right here
    http://docs.adventistarchives.org/docs/RH/RH19011105-V78-45__B.pdf

    Remarks;
    1. The standard and lame excuse that she spoke of 'amalgamation of man and beast' and not 'BETWEEN man and beast' is blown out of the water. Note the word BETWEEN.
    2. Beastiality is mentioned in the context of amalgamation. Why would this be the case if she spoke of godly and ungodly seed?
    3. The amalgamation is said to cause deterioration but not to the extent of men becoming beasts seeing 'certain races of men'. Again how could godly and ungodly seed yield this?

    What Review and Herald had to say about negroes of Africa leaves little to imagination

    This is all to interesting. EGW was not alone in espousing these. But she was 'inspired' and she claims her writings are Spirit of Prophecy. This is why she must be held to a higher standard over and above her contemporaries who held similar attitudes.

    Point is EGW views on intermarriages were way 'behind' her time. This is as recently as 100 years ago. And never forget, she died without recounting these. That's why they PERSISTED long after her death.

    And note again SDA dishonesty. They claim she was 'protecting' the the believers from physical harm LONG before they were exposed to any harm. As usual, SDAs are revisionist; ever attempting to cook history to justify EGW

    Note in 1831, Llyod was advocating for intermarriages while 84 years later Ellen White was still against it.

    Interesting that as late as 1977, interracial marriages were ADVISED against.
    Here is the 1976 Review and Herald stating thus all for avoidance of doubt
    http://docs.adventistarchives.org/docs/RH/RH19760715-V153-29__B.pdf
    Go to page 10 and you see that interracial marriages are 'inadvisable' over 140 years since Lloyd advocated for the same!

    BobRyan being a third generation SDA should give me a good reason why barely 35 years ago, interracial marriages were advised against, if this is still so today and if not, what has changed

    I may have already posted this ... but the points are pretty significant given the value of human life, what an instructive "contrast" in these facts of history.




    looking forward to your insightful reply.

    You know Bob,
    No amount of screaming in colored fonts changes these simple facts;
    1. Ellen White VIOLENTLY opposed interracial marriages
    2. SDA opposed interracial marriages as recently as 1977
    3. Lloyd advocated for interracial marriages as early as 1831
    4. Ellen White taught that beastiality/amalgamation gave rise to Negro

    If you could disprove any of these I can assure you I'd resign from this board after an unqualified apology. As a bonus, I'd become an Adventist:smilewinkgrin:

    Did Ellen White OPPOSE interracial marriages and call them FANATICISM?
    Did SDA 'advise' against interracial marriages as recently as 1977?
    What was AMALGAMATION as understood at the turn of the century? Refer to the R & H 1901 November edition page 721

    You know my brother the intellectual dishonesty you exhibit in approaching these questions is the same you exercise in your bible study? You keep on suppressing any truth that contradicts the lies you run into in Adventism

    IRREFUTABLE facts;
    1. Ellen White , your godess rabidly opposed black-white marriages and she dismissed them as fanaticism no confusion
    2. William Llyod America's most famous abolitionist preached interracial marriages in 1831
    3. SDA advised against interracial marriages as recently as 1977


    Now BobRyan,
    Am not a Baptist, not even sure what a Baptist is:laugh: and I don't know what your posts have to do with this. Do they refute these facts, or are you too eager to deflect from EGW racial conservatism? What's your point because I believe you are a middle aged adult of sound mind and not just a juvenile keyboard warrior?

    Ok so you don't know what a baptist is -- do you know vooks? -- because in the example below - vooks seems to have a problem with actual facts of history

    You know BobRyan
    I never wrote this
    [​IMG]


    'Amalgamation BETWEEN man and beast', 'beastiality','power of regeneration', 'deteroriation'..any two-bit marine invertebrate knows what's going on. But not BobRyan

    Nor
    [​IMG]
    Any reason why SDAs advised against negroes marrying whites less than 35 years ago?

    And no amount of infantile rants can erase them from history

    How many pages of this article have you pored?
    Notice too neither did she say AMALGAMATION of man and [of] beast.
    What is clear and irrefutable is her contemporaries understood her words to mean amalgamation BETWEEN man and beast and propagated this through out her life, and when the topic was heatedly debated, instead of 'correcting' this grievous error by explaining GMO and other retarded excuses, they leaned towards beastiality.

    Now BobRyan,
    1. why would a woman who believed all men are equal before God OPPOSE interracial marriages as 'light from the Lord' and denounce them as fanaticism?
    2. Why did SDA for years up to 1992 ADVISE against interracial marriages in the US?

    why don't you start a thread titled "every contemporary of Ellen White was inspired by God according to Vooks"??

    Or "why Vooks imagines that Ellen White was in charge of correcting any of her contemporaries that might misspeak on some point"

    So then no more of your bait-and-switch on this thread - you could have a thread totally dedicated to the only source you have.

    in Christ,

    Bob

    Ellen White churns garbage and her contemporaries understand and propagate it IN HER life with her full knowledge and they never bother correcting it. Note it was published in SDA literature, the same place you would expect a truth seeker to turn for the truth. Her silence tells it all:thumbs:

    If it only happened once, we could have excused it but it ran for 60 years throughout her death. It was only in 1930s that somebody attempted to REVISE the meaning. They inserted 'of'. AMALGAMATION of man and [of] beasts. That was as retarded as they come.

    Now, if SDA can't understand their godess, why should I trust them to understand her now? Why should I trust your understanding on anything?

    I will continue with the article amidst your tantrums:laugh:

    I have asked this question before;
    1. Between BobRyan and James White , EGW's hubby who endorsed Uriah' book, between you and Uriah Smith the editor of Review and Herald in 1866 and 1901, who is more credible?

    2. How could somebody who believed in race equality preach against interracial marriages?

    3. Why did SDA advise against interracial marriages in 1976 and only in 1992 did they receive new light on this matter?
