Hi,
I saw there was a book out that was an updated version of this book, at least I think it was this one. I can not remember who wrote it or the tile (I think it was named Messiah no sure) would anyone per chance know?
Christseeker45,
You paid way too much. Stick with Scripture.

I made those type of ignorant comments before.Christseeker45,

I have read Desire of Ages, Great Controversy, Steps to Christ, most of the Testimonies and various other EGW writings. I was an Adventist for 27 years, spouse was a lifelong Adventist (50 years) and was employed by the SDA church. So, I don't speak from ignorance regarding Adventism/EGW. If sticking with scripture makes one ignorant, then I am guilty as charged.
I haven't read any of Billy Graham's books.
The LOC story is another one of the Adventist myths. The LOC does not endorse books. Adventists do love to talk about themselves, I gotta give 'em that.
There's only one problem with your hypothesis. Just sticking to the Bible has led to the mess we are in in Christendom, everyone interprets how they want. If you don't like what someone says than start your own church because after all you stuck with just the Bible.
There is no such animal as "just stick with the Bible" everyone uses something else. Catholics and Orthodox are honest they admit they use Tradition, but Protestants oh no they say we use the Bible alone. Yet they don't, they have to figure just what the Bible is saying. Everyone uses something else, some are more forward about it
Amen.Having a knowledge of something doesn't mean you are not ignorant in regards to that subject. I've spoken with Atheists who have read the bible from cover to cover more than I have, and yet they still don't believe. So saying what you've read is not proof of having a proper understanding of it.
EGW points to the scriptures. Her words glorify God. They also point out sin that is cherished more so than not, and because some have a problem dealing with that, they push her writings away. The thing is that either all she said was given by God, or none of it was. Either she was an advocate for Christ, or an agent of the adversary.
Amen.
OTOH, If the cause of the critics was so true and right, then why do they have to lie about her 215 times now?

Foofighter maybe you could enlighten us as to your issues with the SDA. I'm sensing a personal problem with certain members of your congregation?
Hmm?
Tell me you didn't spend 27 years of your life because you thought they were scripturally incorrect, and if so why do you find yourself here in the Adventist section of the forum?
