the true that EGW said herself she was not a prophet-slammed, EGW herself said words have been changed in the Bible-

As I have said before; this is a lie, and it is taking her writings out of context:
I saw that God had especially guarded the Bible; yet when copies of it were few, learned men had
in some instances changed the words, thinking that they were making it more plain, when in reality they were mystifying that which was plain, by causing it to lean to their established views, which were governed by tradition.
But I saw that the Word of God, as a whole, is a perfect chain, one portion linking into and explaining another. True seekers for truth need not err; for not only is the Word of God plain and simple in declaring the way of life, but the Holy Spirit is given as a guide in understanding the way to life therein revealed. {EW 220.2}
And in the previous paragraph she says this: "After having given His word to man,
He had carefully preserved it from destruction by Satan or his angels, or by any of his agents or representatives.
While other books might be destroyed, this was to be immortal. And near the close of time, when the delusions of Satan should increase, it was to be so multiplied that all who desired might have a copy, and, if they would, might
arm themselves against the deceptions and lying wonders of Satan. {EW 220.1}
So all she has said here is that SOME people have always tried "IN SOME INSTANCES" to change the Bible; but that the Bible has infact survived all of these attempts and that we can trust it all the way to heaven. We are not to cast doubt on the validity of scriptures by saying "they have been changed;" and then try to make it look like thats what Ellen White said, because she didnt say it. She only said "in some instances" people have tried to change it around; but over and over again she emphasizes the fact that: "the word of God, as a whole, is a perfect chain." She did not cast doubt on the scriptures in any way, and she did not ever support people using her writings to establish doctrine; she always used her writings to point people to the Bible, and not away from it.

God knew that Satan would try every art to destroy man; therefore He caused His word to be written out, and made His purposes in regard to the human race so plain that the weakest need not err. After having given His word to man, He has carefully preserved it from destruction by Satan or his angels, or by any of his agents or representatives. While other books might be destroyed, this was to be immortal. And down near the close of time, when the delusions of Satan should increase, it was to be so multiplied that all who desired might have a copy, and, if they would, might arm themselves against the deceptions and lying wonders of Satan. {BEcho, December 20, 1897 par. 8}
Furthermore, you try to trick us into believing you endorse the writings of Ellen White; yet you see fit to change the words in her writings whenever it suits you, "thinking that [you] were making it more plain;" when infact you are simply preaching falsehood and deception to us.
