You didn't say that, and if you were dead you couldn't correct it either...
2tim said:But you changed what I said. That's WAY different than taking something out of context. Look, I agree, context is ALL important. But frankly, if I am looking for light on a topic I would really rather not have to search through every book from the most published female author in the history of literature.........

StormyOne said:How do you know they didn't change what she has written? Some have suggested that they have.... some even have documents to prove that changes have occurred.... The question is why...
I would not go so far, but I will note that the compilation is the product of the mind of the compiler, not of the original author.StormyOne said:Compilations are NOT good....
2tim said:You have to be intelligent about what you read and how you apply it I suppose. As always. Besides, there is nothing keeping "them" from changing what's printed in her original "in-context" works either. So we can't cite that as a reason t dismiss complilations as having no value.

Not being picky. How do you know it has worked every time?2tim said:Here's what I do.
With the Bible or the SOP when I'm looking for information or whatever. I do a SEARCH. Then I REsearch the results in the original context.
Works every time.

And you call yourself a Bible scholar? You never heard of the Reverse Bible?2tim said:In fact, only my man Statrei has ever accused me of that here. And I'm not sure HE'S holding his Bible right-side-up sometimes.
Good catch. We had to consider the less fortunate among us.2tim said:Hah! I thought it was the esreveR Bible?

It is well worth the price for anyone interested in the writings of EGW regardless of the reason,
It seems that many of her writings were compiled even while she was still alive,
Using the search tool, you will find that what she wrote in one place is repeated word for word in sometimes up to 20 different places in the writings,

2tim said:Did anyone who read the books by Lahaye and Jenkins notice an untoward emphasis on the impact of the "rapture" on transportation? Like this inconvenience was of paramount importance?
Did anyone who saw the movie notice that during the tribulation cabs were running, electricity was on, planes were flying?
I turned to my wife and said, "Gee. This tribulation thingy doesn't seem so bad."
