Ellen White: "The Lord Jesus came to our world, not to reveal what a God could do, but what a man could do through faith in God’s power to help in every emergency." Man obeying the Law, that's the "gospel" and "salvation" of the SDA.

If the Law were enough we would have had no need for a Christ. The Jew had thousands of years of Law, yet they failed at every turn. . . The "gospel" of these cults is nothing more than, obey these rules and live. The Gospel of Christ is, I have obeyed the Law. Come to Me.

Do you imagine this helps you case?

If Christ is just my example, that is the worst news I could imagine, for I know what is demanded, but I have not the ability. Christ as example is crushing. Christ as the second Adam - life-giving.

This kind of anti-intellectualism is sad, but not shocking. It's why I started this thread, to expose it. The sorrow, Bob, comes from understanding. Have you not heard the expression, "Ignorance is bliss"? When you have much knowledge you understand the depth of depravity that a simple-minded...

Jesus was an angel, according to cult leader Ellen White: “Before his fall, Satan was, next to Christ, the highest angel in heaven.” (Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 01-14-1909, paragraph 4.)

And again: “Jesus, the world’s Redeemer, could only keep the commandments of God, in the same way that humanity can keep them. […] We must practice the example of Christ, bearing in mind His Sonship and His humanity. It was not God that was tempted in the wilderness, nor a god that was to...

Christ is God and man, but not to Ellen White. “There is no one who can explain the mystery of the incarnation of Christ. Yet we know that He came to this earth and lived as a man among men. The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty, yet Christ and the Father are one. The Deity did not...

Christ is merely an example to follow. In other words, His main purpose was to show us how to obey the Law, not to fulfill it for us. “In stooping to take the habiliments of a man, Christ did not cease to be God. The human did not become divine, nor the divine human. Christ lived the law of...

We who worship on Sunday have apparently taken the "mark of the Beast" What then is the change of the Sabbath, but the sign, or mark, of the authority of the Roman Church -- 'the mark of the beast'? [Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, 1950 ed., p. 448.]

Without the gospel, there is no Christianity.

If 1,000,000 people have kind words to say about your cult leader, does that mean that she is not a cult leader? Appeal to authority isn't an argument.

WOW! Even if you haven't changed your mind on the issue, I applaud your willingness to be open to change and admitting it here. People who hold to scripture on this issue don't hate women. I certainly don't! I married one. We do; however, wish to be true to God's deign and desire in these...

First, we were speaking about LEADERS of the first churches. Second, the text you've quoted does not rule out that these men knew multiple languages.

Yes. Now we are getting somewhere. Bob and his special friends are gnostics. In fact the SDA is the poster-child for gnosticism. It's filled with special people who are keepers of special knowledge that the rest of of Sunday-worshiping heathen are simply blind to. Thanks, Bob.

I don't need nor want to ask you anything, Bob. You follow a woman who was bonked on the head, had a third grade education, and blasphemed by her false prophecy. You would swallow all of that, I wouldn't trust your judgement enough to ask you what time it was.

Damage to one's frontal lobe can cause delusion of grandeur. That would explain a lot about Ellen White. It would not, however, let you off of the hook for following her delusions.

You can ignore common sense, but that doesn't change it. You are looking for a rule without exceptions. I've said there is one. Your "argument" is weak in that it tries to prove a norm by finding one exception. That's backwards thinking. Common is as I've stated before, sadly uncommon...

Bingo. Different subjects. Look at what the NT says about false teachers and those who enable and create them. It's the sheep who seek out false teachers to tickle their ears.

What don't I know, that Ellen White suffered brain damage from being hit with a rock as a child? Or, that she claimed to speak for God yet her "prophesies" failed to come to pass? Or, that people like you use her writings in order to understand God's word? Maybe it's the legalism and...
