New--SDA General Conference Statement on EGW writings

[LoveGodsWord]

Already asked and answered.

but everyone can see you won't answer the question based on your own statements. You say:








If she only points to the Scriptures, and you only point to the Scriptures, then do you want to tell everyone reading that they should not bother looking at Ellen White's writings at all, ever, here or otherwise, and just focus on the Bible?

No not really. I told you the truth but you do not believe it. What was it in the post you are quoting from that you do not believe (see post # 118 linked)? Why would I need to point people to EGW when EGW only pointed people to the scriptures? Can you find one post of mine pointing anyone to EGW? - Nope.

I have only posted scripture. I do not think anyone said all prophets are seers. All prophets however are inspired by Gods' Spirit.

But in Adventist circles….it greatly implied “seer” because it’s used in context of EGW.

God inspires you and I and others in the body of Christ…do you believe that?

LGW, it is ok. Your refusal to answer is the answer. You say you only talk Scripture here. You say Ellen White points people to Scripture. You say you point people to Scripture.

But then of course you still want people to read Ellen White, and won't tell them just to focus on Scripture. If she only pointed to Scripture, why do you need Ellen White?

Why do you need this:

To understand this?

Your question was answered in with a detailed scripture response in post # 118 that you refuse to respond to and tell me what is it there that you disagree with. I guess you just did not like the answer that was provided to you but it is God's Words not mine. So we will agree to disagree.

Take Care

Perhaps for some but not for all. There is extreme views of individuals in every Church I think. Of course God can inspire everyone He gives His Spirit to. That does not mean that everyone has the same gift of God's Spirit. Prophecy is one of many spiritual gifts and a sign of God's last day Church. *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 *Joel 2:28-32

LGW, I did respond to the part that mattered, which was your actual reply to my question: "No, not really. "

You won't tell people not to read Ellen White and only read Scripture. So all of that talk you were doing earlier, where you only want to talk Scripture, you don't want to talk Ellen White, is clearly seen to be deflection.

No you didn't but that is ok. (see post # 118) and no the rest of your post only shows you did not read or understand the linked post.

 

[tall73]

I would also add that all that the writings of EGW has done for me is to point me to Gods Word and it is in the Word of God I see and have found Jesus. This was her message. That is the same message that I share here at CF and that is the only standard of what is true and not true is Gods' Word. My view is that God used her to tell His people that they need to return to God's Word and seek Jesus prayerfully claiming His promises to be our guide and teacher.

Great, then they don't need Ellen White, just the Bible. And your denomination can stop making statements about her correcting inaccurate interpretations of the Bible. And then you won't have to have awkward Ellen White conversations.

What do you think all of post # 118 is saying?

 

[tall73]

You edited your post. So I removed the response.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

If you say "there you go" to my post, then it must be saying that you don't need Ellen White and neither does your denomination.

So is that what you are saying? No one should bother to read Ellen White and just stick to the Bible?

I only said there you go because you started reading or at least quoting some of my post to you. Then I asked you what do you think all of post # 118 is saying? Go re-read what it says if you do not understand it. Or if you are having trouble understanding the scriptures shared there perhaps you can pray about it.

Yes it was edited before you posted.

I understand it just fine. All of your claims about how you only want to talk about Scripture were false.

You could not just refer people to Scripture, but in fact talked about Ellen White.

All of my posts are backed by scripture just like post # 118 you refuse to discuss with me. None of yours are so we will agree to disagree. *Romans 3:4

 

[tall73]

Why would I need to point people to EGW when EGW only pointed people to the scriptures?

Great, then are you ready to tell people they never need to read Ellen White, ever, here or elsewhere?

Of course I talked to you about it. I even quoted you. And we have talked about Scriptures many times. But this thread is talking about your denomination which keeps making statements about Ellen White. You say you don't want to talk about Ellen White, but here you are.

You keep saying you don't point anyone to Ellen White. But then you won't say that no one should read Ellen White, just the Scriptures.

Make up your mind. If the Scriptures are what people need, then why do you and your denomination keep talking about Ellen White (even when you say you don't want to).

Not really. I am just correcting misinformation with scripture (Romans 3:4)

Micro-quoting my posts out of context does not tell the story of what was already posted to you when context is added back in as shown in post # 118 that is supported by the scriptures. Neither does it negate all the scriptures already shared with you showing prophecy is a spiritual gift given to God's last day Church *Romans 12:6, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 29; 13:1-3, 8; 14:6, and in Ephesians 4:11 and a distinguishing signs of Gods' true Church just prior to the second coming *see Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12 compare Revelation 19:10. Your response so far is you quoting you unsupported by scripture and not wanting to discuss the scriptures already shared with you in post # 118 linked. So we might have to agree to disagree. That said I only hope the best for you and everyone else here.

Thanks for the discussion

Your presence in this thread tells the story. You say you don't want to talk about Ellen White, and only want to talk about Scripture. But here you are talking about Ellen White.

And your post here says that you think Ellen White is a fulfillment of Scripture. So why did you say you don't want to talk about Ellen White?

Why did you say I talk about Ellen White but you don't, you only talk about Scripture?

Your denomination is the one saying that they test everything by Scripture, including Ellen White, but that Ellen White's writings correct inaccurate interpretations of Scripture.

You may of course not see how that is a problem, but others do.

Not really. As posted earlier I am just correcting misinformation with scripture (Romans 3:4) See also post # 118 linked. Your post here is unresponsive to the post and scriptures you are quoting from that are in disagreement with you.

Take Care.
