As did I.
She was hit by a rock that some child threw at her.
I was run over by a car at the age of 3 - that was driven by a drunk driver. In my case - I was put into a coma and doctors said I was not expected to live.
So "yeah" I get the idea that someone could indeed suffer a head injury as a child. No question about that.
I went on to become a software engineer - and am one of the more athletic guys I know at my age despite having been paralyzed on one side of my body for a few months after I came out of the coma - following the car incident.,
yep - I think that is correct.
I think you are making a few wild leaps in logic just then.
She has authored a great many books including this commentary on the life of Christ - why don't you spend a little time to read it and see if you detect cognitive impairment.
Her writings were key to establishing a number of medical schools in our denomination. Her statements were very key in establishing training for doctors and nurses in teaching hospitals such a Loma Linda University , which is in one of the few documented "Blue Zones" in the world.
Ellen White always points one back to the bible, word of God.
Whoever might have taught/said this is in error .... and Ms. White herself never taught this .... she taught all (with few exceptions) sleep in the grave and the saved for all time will be in the 1st resurrection (including herself)
Regardless of her injury .... and/or education level .... one should look at what she wrote .... she was a very gifted author .... your should read The Great Controversy .... it goes through a lot of history and of course biblical references.
The point is .... one shouldn't take "someones word" about her writings (or any one else's writings for that matter) without checking them out for themselves using the bible and historical records.
The Word of God is the determining source for ruling out all mis-teachings .... period ... it doesn't matter where the teaching(s) comes from.
Study for yourself .... pray for understanding. Amen
Unfortunately, this medical school business, isn't going to take anyone to heaven.
I mean her good works & all can not bring salvation to man.
general insults and attacks have no value at all. If you had a doctrinal point you should make one that is more substantive than mere "pejorative after pejorative".it's the twisted doctrines in Adventism, that cannot bring us to that exact point of marrying Christ, this is where the problem is..
More Bible - less upper case.IF YOU ARE NOT A DESCENDANT OF JACOB, THEN YOU ARE NOT AN ISRAELITE, PERIOD!!
Here is what the Bible says about New Covenant Christians and - the LawWe would now have to come out of that cage, of holding tight onto the law
Mark 7:6-13 Jesus said "Law of God" = "Word of God" = "Moses said"Salvation is accessible only through the law of Christ & not of Moses: John 1v17
Is 58:13
13 “If, because of the Sabbath, you restrain your foot
From doing as you wish on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And speaking your own word,''
So John is the one that calls it "The Lord's Day" in Rev 1 and Isaiah calls it "The Holy DAY of the LORD" .. where God says "My Holy Day" in reference to it.
I don't see Isaiah and John at all out of step with each other in that case.
Indeed God made HIS Holy day to be a blessing for mankind. He still calls it "MY Holy Day"
That would be ignoring a few key Bible details.
Can you point me to her writings about this viewpoint? Would like to look further into this.Actually there are some statements about "all how die at the time of the sharing of the 3 angels messages" -- i.e. in those years where the 3 angels messages are being promoted by them - are raised in what she calls "special resurrection" at the end of the 7 last plagues just before the day and hour of the 2nd coming so that they along with the 144,000 see the Lord coming and the saints raised.
God gave health teaching in scripture. In Genesis before the flood - God has given mankind a plant based diet.
In Lev 18 - God tells humans what flesh "is for food"
God tells us that our body is the temple of God and we are not to attack our own body - to sin against the body - 1 Cor 6.
Living healthy does not "save the lost sinner" but God's intent is that under the Gospel "we have LIFE and that more abundantly" rather than suffering out of ignorance by eating that which poisons the body.
This is not about "her good works" it is about your claim that dreams and vision and information for starting colleges and medical schools is the result of brain damage as a child.
I simply pointed out that having experienced severe head trama as a 3 year old - I can assure that such things as you suggest are not the result of brain injury. You don't appear to know what you are talking about in that regard.
general insults and attacks have no value at all. If you had a doctrinal point you should make one that is more substantive than mere "pejorative after pejorative".
even non-Christians can simply content themselves to insult others. That is no sign of having a substantive point.
More Bible - less upper case.
Rom 2: 26 So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will his uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision? 27 And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a violator of the Law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from people, but from God.
More Bible -- less condemnation of others please.
Here is what the Bible says about New Covenant Christians and - the Law
Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? Far from it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"
1 John 5:3 "This IS the LOVE of God - that we KEEP His Commandments"
Rev 14:12 "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus"
John 14:15 "IF you Love Me KEEP My Commandments"
Ex 20:6 "Love Me and KEEP My Commandments"
Jer 31:31-34
31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.” Heb 8:6-12
Because - vitriol is not a good substitute for Bible study.
Sola scriptura testing of all doctrine and practice... is the best policy
It is Christ who enables us & not our own efforts.

Many years ago, I was baptised as an sda at the start of my conversion as a Christian. Later i attended a church where the pastor refused to teach investigative judgment and he was thrown out of the church. I do agree with the sabbath teaching and some of the other doctrines but not all, i don't feel it is appropriate that we have to agree on all the teachings of a particular church under duress.
You ended in the middle -Anyway we cant all agree on every doctrine people have and should just stick to the gospel which is mandatory. 1st corinthians 15;1-4
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
depends on the context for the term "justify".there we go by the deeds of 3 But do you suppose this, you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things, and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and restraint and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will repay each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life; 8 but to those who are self-serving and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of mankind who does evil, for the Jew first and also for the Greek, 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.the law no one shall be justified. The everlasting gospel is the same one,
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
The school master of Gal 3 is the condemnation of the Law for the lost person. It is also in Rom 3:19-20. IT is what drives the bad tree to accept the Gospel, become born again - become a good tree. Romans 3 says everyone is under that school master as a lost person and Gal 3 says that the person is ONLY released from that state - "WHEN FAITH comes". It is only when the lost person embraces faith in Christ that they are released from condemnation, born again, and transfered to the NEW Covenant of Jer 31:31-34 with the LAW of God written on the heartFor ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus Galatians 3.26. We are not under a school master!
