So was I wrong or not when I said ""
It was you that took exception to my phrase. Now you say it is OK not to pull punches? I'm confused.
.
Do we really have to resort to semantics? I'm a Lutheran and I don't think the roots of Lutheranism could be described as anything but a movement.
True enoughWe both agree on this, except for your feeling towards mainstream churches.
Yes, you are of course right.
The point I tried to make is where are the other prophets God said would come? There is nothing Biblical about one end time prophet sent in the last days, is there?

You are correct, the Bible says that in the last days that your sons and daughters will prophesy and your old men would dream dreams, and young men will see visions, right?
This verse precisely identifies the men and woman that was chosen for the work. They are, William Miller (dream of the dirt brush man), William Foie (a young black man), Hazen Foss (another young man in the early 1800's) and Ellen Harmon. We of course know the history and impact that Miller had in starting the ball rolling... of the three young people given the prohetic gift, only Ellen Harmon (White) chose to take up the charge.
These are only the ones that we know about that God tried to inspire for His work and I believe there may be others in our time that He will call as well.
I think you missed my point. When I was talking about "pulling punches" I was referring to how ardent they were in declaring the Papacy to be the beast and the roman church to be the harlot. I took exception to your statement because you added "hated" to your statement.
The church isn't hated. We don't hate Catholics, and I will continue to correct, and take exception to your statements if you continue to say such things.
Mrs. White's teachings are believed by millions of people. How many books has she sold in how many languages? I'm not exactly feeling sorry for her legacy.
I think his point was if you don't believe Ellen was a prophet you won't believe another should they come...
You obviously know are questions that Mrs. White never addresed that are important to us today. A new prophet could clear things up.
Perhaps but their is no guarantee there will be another prophet so thats why we need to make the most of the one we have, irregardless of the questions we have. I think part of our problemas a society is post modernism... we have been taught ot question and doubt everything, that there are no absolute truths.
Amen to the underlined comment. Post modernism and Humanism and political correctness are being worshipped instead of the True God.
Back to Mrs. White. Personally I can't imagine the SDA church accepting another prophet, but time will tell. It would be fun to see the modern media show someone holding out heavy Bibles for hours and falling into visions without breathing and such in real time!
If you will notice, the 6th church in Revelation 2 and 3 is the Church of Philadelphia. In Jesus' remarks about Philadelphia, he promises to keep Philadelphia through all the plagues coming upon the world in the last days. THINK! The SDA church is called Laodicea. The Philadelphia Church is promised to go through to the end! Laodicea is spewed out! Philadelphia is KEPT! THINK! Who is right? I believe the Bible!
