Does everyone here feel that Ellen White is a prophet? Does anyone struggle with that? Does belief in Ellen White's prophethood make or break one's Seventh Day Adventist faith?
this guy is working off a lot of assumptions.Ellen White is essential enough to Seventh-day Adventists that they have gone on record....
...In saying if Ellen White is not a true prophet than God does NOT exist.
The question was asked in the Traditional section of SDA here at CF....
...And members there affirmed this is indeed true the way they see it.
If Ellen White is not a prophet, then God does not exist - YouTube
It does address and answer the question about how essential Ellen White is to SDA.....
...By saying that if Ellen isn't a true Prophet than God doesn't exist.
...Is simply an admission that Ellen is God - because His existence is subservient to her.
Ones persons (or many for that matter) opinion does not a denominational doctrine make....
I'm an SDA who wants nothing to do with the writings of Ellen white, it hasn't stopped me from being an SDA up until now so I would say she's not essential.
E.G. White might be essential to the SDA BUT not essential to Christianity. Jesus is the author and founder of Christianity. If E.G. White had to be removed, what would the church do...crumble. I think we need to speak more of Jesus. I am going to be tarred and feathered. But I believe that I am a Christian first..and a member of the SDA church. We are making her into a female pope.
Yeppers even a weak flashlight removes some darkness.I don't believe she is essential to be an SDA. I was one for years before I fully accepted her. I found my foundation in the bible alone. It was not until recent years that I decided I should really look into Mrs White in depth as there were a few doubts that I had not fully investigated.
I went though my own first, then I went through all the hate sites and investigated all the points they raised one by one until I was convinced. Now when I read her writings they have a lot more meaning for me. Ellen White has been a tremendous blessing.
Though I don't think my walk is for everyone, I do thinks all Adventists, check that all Christians', should go through the process of testing what they profess to believe. For SDA, not only EGW, but every doctrine. If you have a doubt in the shadows you need to get in there with a flashlight and clean out the cobwebs. We don't know how close the time of troubles is but we know it's close, and we will need to be standing on solid ground.
If you believe she is a Prophet than why worry about it? Same thing with if you believe she isn't. I think it's funny though how several people who aren't Adventist anymore, first started their drift away from the church by doubting/discrediting Sr White. But hey, maybe it's just conincidence.
Same here. Most I hear from say thus and so isn't done in their local assembly church. Therefore one has to mention the whole church as general rule to keep this type of denial at a minimum. Just say anything in GT and find out if that isn't so.I still encourage any Adventist to show me where the denomination has officially strayed from any position EGW took on anything, no matter how trivial.
