I spent 15 years as Adventist....in 2 states, before my exit....they all believed what she wrote was inspired of God.Happy Sabbath HIM!! We might have to agree to disagree here as I do not know of anyone who believes what you are claiming to be honest.
i don't disagree with the scripture, but I do disagree with your application to Ellen White.Yes I did, thank you. Try reading the one you are quoting from what do you think it is saying? Do you agree or disagree? I disagreed with your post.
If Ellen said/wrote it....Adventist mbrs believed it was inspired....at least in the part of the world I live.He seems to have said that the congregations he was in indicated that.
Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. I quoted her regarding things that were written which were common, and not from inspiration.
But I also quoted where she said the articles, books, and Testimonies were.
As you know, I have a number of disagreements with the Adventist church, but I have not heard it taught that everything Ellen White said was inspired.
But she did say her writings in Adventist papers and her books were inspired
Not officially....but some Adventist life is lived as if it is.Does the SDA church say that every word of White's writings were inspired by God?
You completely dodge his questions.
Who ever said a prophet is not inspired by God? A prophet needs to be inspired by God to be a prophet don't they?I spent 15 years as Adventist....in 2 states, before my exit....they all believed what she wrote was inspired of God.
As I disagree with your application to scripture so we will agree to disagree. It is God's Word not mine that says Gods' last day Church has the gift of prophecy not me. *Romans 12:6, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 29; 13:1-3, 8; 14:6, and in Ephesians 4:11. *see Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12 compare Revelation 19:10. No one has ever made the claim that prophecy only applies to EGW. *Joel 2:28-32i don't disagree with the scripture, but I do disagree with your application to Ellen White.

Hi I am just wondering, you call yourself a (SEA) Seventh-day Evangelical Adventist. Is that even a thing or a Church? What actually is that as I have never heard of it before? Just curious(SEA) Seventh-day Evangelical Adventist
If the Bible says it…..I believe it!Not really I corrected the what was implied in the question and told the truth by sharing scripture or are you another one that thinks there is no such thing as prophets in God's new testament Church (see post # 83 linked)?
Hi Tall….doing great, Our God is a wonderful God! You and Sophia great I hope! Tell The wife I said hello!Wow, long time no see! Hope you are well.

Speaking within context of my statement….it pertained to every word she wrote, not her person.Who ever said a prophet is not inspired by God? A prophet needs to be inspired by God to be a prophet don't they?
I have only posted scripture. I do not think anyone said all prophets are seers. All prophets however are inspired by Gods' Spirit.If the Bible says it…..I believe it!. But all prophets aren’t seers.
I do not think that any SDA claims that every word she wrote was inspired that I know of.Speaking within context of my statement….it pertained to every word she wrote, not her person.
As posted earlier I am not interested in talking EGW. I am only correcting misinformation. We should only point others to Gods' Word. ?
EGW only points everyone to the bible. Let's talk scripture?
My faith is in Gods' Word which is where she points everyone who reads her writings.
She claimed to be a messenger of God. Would never call herself a prophet…but more (work) than a prophet. That statement can be takin the wrong way. God inspires all His covenant people. I’m sure your work for the Lord is filled with His inspiration. Ellen G. Whites claim is a messenger inspired of God. A Seer. I chuckle.Given the broad nature of her claims if it was published in her lifetime she would say it was inspired. So yes, they would claim that.
However, some things have been published since that she did not oversee that some might debate. She also stated that the testimonies she wrote to people were inspired. And obviously, if she is saying things like "I was shown" etc. in a given work, she is claiming inspiration.
But the articles, the books, etc. she claims they were all inspired. So when Adventists said all that she wrote, they are usually (in my experience) talking about her published writings.
Some of the later stuff they released that are of the nature she mentioned in the other quote I posted, where it was about mundane things, no statements of inspiration, and not published for that purpose, then folks could debate it.
I will tell everyone the same thing that I told you at the beginning of this thread and that is over the question I asked you earlier; is not prophecy a spiritual gift given to the Church? *Romans 12:6, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 29; 13:1-3, 8; 14:6, and in Ephesians 4:11. Actually on this topic having an understanding of the prophecies is one of the distinguishing signs of Gods' true Church just prior to the second coming *see Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12 compare Revelation 19:10. What is not biblical here? - Nothing.LGW, let's hear it then. Do you want to tell everyone reading that they should not bother looking at Ellen White's writings at all, ever, and just focus on the Bible? I would be very happy with that. Does that work for you? As I noted, I reference Ellen White with Adventists to establish their position because they will not disagree with her. But I would fully agree no one need to bother with Ellen White at all.
Many also mocked the prophets and well as Jesus who they persecuted to death. There is nothing new under the sun. Can you imagine the surprise of all these people on judgement day when they realize for the first time that they were not mocking men but actually mocking God? It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God *Hebrews 10:31I chuckle.
