I found that citation (quote) in Ellet Joseph Waggoner (1888), not sister White. Please keep note, that E. J. Waggoner, after disregarding the warnings given him by sister White, went off the deep end. Divorced his wife, married another, and left denominational employ.

Ellet Joseph Waggoner, in that particular reference, happens to be quoting from, the "Ancient Church," and citing Dr. Killen. The quotation in context follows this statement:

"... We cannot better introduce this part of the subject than by the following quotation from Dr. Killen, concerning the heresies within a hundred years after the apostles:-- ..." - Ellen G. White Writings
Then follows your citation.

Yes, the 'ECF' are the easily confused fellows. (You also seem to be confused as to what actually constitutes the writings of Ellen G White).

What part of, "if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law." (Galatians 5:18) did Ellen White did not understand? Did she also do animal sacrifices?

The Adventist attempt turn our Christian church into legalism... And... We are not interested!
Amen to that! We are not interested in the perverted sabbath gospel of the SDA church that culminates in "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works." (Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 4:3,4)

Who does Alofa Atu think he is fooling? :Cautious We are certainly not buying what he is selling.

To be led by the Spirit, is the same as John on the Isle of Patmos, who in obedience to the will of God, was honouring God in Keeping the commandments of God, and that includes the 4th commandment, the sabbath commandment, which concerns every day of the week, and that especially the 7th day. The Holy Spirit leads one to the Holy Law of God, even as the Holy Ghost wrote it.

Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.​

I've asked this before in one of the other threads on this topic but no one ever answered...

---> In light of Protestant soteriology, if you believe you are saved simply by faith alone, what difference does it make if you go to church on Saturday or Sunday?

---> If you believe that you are saved by faith alone, what difference does it make if you go to church at all? It seems going to church would be the dreaded "works righteousness" that Protestants reject.

The Lord Himself did NOT give the Sabbath to observe to any save national israel, so know EW was a false prophetess!

If the Sda JUST taught and held that they thought the Sabbath was for them right day to observe, that would be fine, but they make it that ALL saved need to do that!
There are seventh day baptists, but they would not see it as those on Sunday are hell bound!

You didn't answer my questions! I'll make it easier for you!...

---> In light of the Protestant doctrine of sola fide, who cares about Saturday or Sunday?

This is a bit off topic, but...

I understand that the Seventh Day Adventist Church historically believed that the end times would include a mass persecution of Sabbath keepers by Sunday worshippers. Is this accurate? If so, is it a mainstream belief among Adventists today?

It's merely more Seven-Day-Adlibber hooey invented by their guru, Ellen Gould White,

This doesn't answer the question you quoted. Yes or No: did this ellen white do animal sacrifices?

What is the Lord's day according to scripture alone? Let the Bible speak:

The "Lord's day" according to scripture, is the 7th day, the sabbath day of the Lord.

Genesis 2:1-3,4 - 'the seventh day', 'God', 'day', 'the LORD God' [… God [the LORD] … day …]

Exodus 16:23 - "the LORD", "to morrow [the seventh day] is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD' [... the LORD ... [day] ...]

Exodus 16:25 - 'to day [the seventh day]; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day' [... the LORD ... day]

Exodus 20:8-11 - 'the sabbath day', 'the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God', 'sabbath day' [... the LORD ... day ...]

Exodus 31:15 - 'the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD ... the sabbath day' [... the LORD ... day]

Exodus 35:2,3 - 'the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD', 'the sabbath day' [… the LORD … day …]

Leviticus 23:3 - 'the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD'

Deuteronomy 5:12,14 – 'the LORD', 'the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God' [… the LORD … day …]

Psalms 92:1 - 'A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD'

Isaiah 56:6 - 'Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath [day] from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant' (context new covenant) [... the LORD ... sabbath [day] ...]

Isaiah 58:13 - 'the sabbath ... my [the LORD's] holy day ... the holy [day] of the Lord' [... [the LORD's] ... day]

Isaiah 66:22,23 – 'the LORD', 'one sabbath [day] to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD' [… the LORD … [day] …]

Jeremiah 17:21 - 'saith the LORD... on the sabbath day' [... the LORD ... day]

Matthew 12:8 - 'the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day' [... the ... Lord ... day]

Mark 2:28 - 'the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day' [... the ... Lord ... day]

Luke 6:5 - 'the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath [day]' [... the ... Lord ... [day]]

Revelation 1:10 - 'the Lord's day'
In order for YOU to demand that the evidence be found in "Scripture Alone" - YOU must be able to substantiate the man-made doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

When you can do that - then we can have a conversation . . .

Jesus didn't support the 16th century invention of Sola Scriptura because it is one of the "traditions of men" that he condemned (Mark 7:8). Jesus understood that the Word of God came in TWO forms - the WRITTEN and the ORAL.

Here are some Biblical examples that will put the matter to rest . . .

Matt. 2:23 - the prophecy "He shall be a Nazarene" is ORAL TRADITION. It is not found in the Old Testament.
This demonstrates that the Apostles relied upon oral tradition and taught by oral tradition.

Matt 23:2 - Jesus relies on the ORAL TRADITION of acknowledging Moses' seat of authority (which passed from Moses to Joshua to the Sanhedrin). This is not recorded in the Old Testament.

1 Cor. 10:4 - Paul relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the rock following Moses.
It is not recorded in the Old Testament.

2 Timothy 3:8 - Paul relies on the ORAL TRADITION when speaking of Pharoah’s magicians, Jannes and Jambres. Their names are not recorded in the Old Testament.

Heb. 11:37 - the author of Hebrews relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the martyrs being sawed in two.
This is not recorded in the Old Testament.

Jude 9 - Jude relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the Archangel Michael's dispute with satan over Moses' body.
This is not found in the Old Testament.

Jude 14-15 - Jude relies on the ORAL TRADITION of Enoch's prophecy which is not recorded in the Old Testament.


So much for your FALSE doctrines . . .

He is God in human flesh, so he could do that!

Bingo! And by doing that, He violated the Protestant doctrine of sola Scriptura!

If He held to sola Scriptura, the Gospels would merely be accounts of Jesus simply narrating the Old Testament Scriptures. Scripture ALONE. Nothing more.

If he had regard for the traditions of men, he would not have argued with the religious authorities of the day, as well as shunned some of their traditions, such as hand washing. If anything goes-- esteem the tradition or shun the traditions-- God and his requirements of man are what the individuals wants to believe. There should be a standard, then. Is there?

The NT scriptures came directly from Jesus or the Holy Spirit thru the Apostles!
