Exposing Adventism - Ellen White on the Seal of God

Did Ellen White tell the truth about the Seal of God?

Here is yet another example of Ellen White's intellectual dishonesty.

She claimed that the seal of God's law is found in the fourth commandment.

This only, of all ten, brings to view both the name and the title of the Lawgiver. It declares him to be the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and thus shows his claim to reverence and worship above all others. Aside from this precept, there is nothing in the decalogue to show by whose authority the law is given. When the Sabbath was changed by the papal power, the seal was taken from the law. The disciples of Jesus are called upon to restore it, by exalting the Sabbath of the fourth commandment to its rightful position as the Creator's memorial and the sign of his authority. (Great Controversy, 1888, p. 451)
​

How convenient it is that she fails to include Exodus 20:2 which emphatically introduces the Giver of the Decalogue. Perhaps she also didn't realize that its Author is also given in the 2nd, the 3rd, and the 5th commandment, as well as the 4th!

Since Ellen White was specific that "the Papal power changed the Sabbath" which Pope initiated this and at what time?

That's a great question. I have some thoughts on it. However, I believe that, in pursuing the answer to my previous question, we will also answer your subsequent question. Here is my previous question once again:

According to the writings of Ellen G. White, what does a man do or not do (in the days immediately prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ) that causes him to receive the mark of the beast?
​

How do you respond to this question?

Whoever shall trample upon God's law to obey a human enactment receives the mark of the beast. But we haven't reached that time just yet. There is still a calling of the Holy Spirit to repent. In order to do this one must use force, fear, intimidation and manipulation against another. One must actually "worship" this power, willing to give life and limb for it over that calling of the Holy Spirit to respect the law of God.

How is it you expect your questions answered when you won't answer mine? Oh well. Typical.

Who does that leave? Those who perfectly keep the law, including the fourth commandment? And what do these perfect, end-time persons receive as a reward for their law keeping--the seal of God perhaps?

But we haven't reached that time just yet.

My question acknowledged that this was Mrs. White's position.

Because my question preceded and directly relates to yours and because you initially chose not to answer my question (you have since taken a stab at answering it). To recap, you asked:
Since we agree that Mrs. White taught that, one day, those who break the law will receive the mark of the beast, we could hardly conclude that Mrs. White believed that--among those people who are alive immediately prior to Christ's second coming--any non-sabbatarians will see the inside of Heaven.
