So the visions she had concerning last day events and her correct prediction of the civil war and the SF fire of 1906 along with many others were just her imaginings? What about her counsel on the coming Sunday law? Is that found in the Bible? Just because she did not call herself a prophet(ess) does not mean that she did not have that gift. Re-read the quote you gave and see that see said that those that call her a prophet(ess), she had no controversy with, meaning that while she would not state it, it was not error.
I would also caution you and Contented against bearing false witness against myself and others, in this forum, who appreciate SOP as a help for understanding scripture but nothing more.
ECR:
You do not read all that I have said. I clearly said that the Testimony to the Church (which by the way is show also in the Bible from Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Josuha, Samuel, Nathan, Issiah, Ezekiel all the minor prophets, all the apostles. They all provided messages to the church or people of Elohim of their time.), which were also from YAHWEH! When she dealt with Biblical evidence, you can find it in the Bible. I did not bear false witness against you at all. However, you have told an untruth, EGW is not a prophetess, that she clearly stated. She is also not the Spirit of Prophesy the Bible says clearly that Yashua is:
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yashua: worship Elohim: for the testimony of Yashua is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10
THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY WAS DESIGNED FOR ALL DISPENSATIONS.
. . . YASHUA THE MESSIAH." REV. 12:17.
"THE TESTIMONY OF YASHUA," SAID THE ANGEL TO JOHN, "IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY." REV. 19:10. IT IS THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF ELOHIM , AND THE RECOGNITION OF THE REVIVAL OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY BY THE LAST DAY MESSAGE OF THE CHURCH, OR THE CHRISTIANS OF THE LAST GENERATION, THAT STIRS THE IRE OF THE DRAGON.
. . . WHEN MAN IN EDEN STOOD IN ALL THE PERFECTION OF HIS MANHOOD, BEFORE THE BLIGHT OF SIN HAD TOUCHED ANYTHING THAT ELOHIM HAD MADE FOR HIM, AND WITH OPEN FACE BEHELD THE GLORY OF THE LORD, HE COULD HAVE NO NEED OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. BUT WHEN EDEN WAS LOST IN CONSEQUENCE OF TRANSGRESSION, AND MAN WAS DOOMED TO GROPE HIS WAY FROM THE GATES OF PARADISE, ENSHROUDED IN THE MORAL GLOOM THAT RESULTED FROM THE CURSE AND THE REIGN OF SATAN, HE NEEDED THE LIGHT OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

James White wrote the introduction to the volume of books called the Spirit of Prophecy, which is the testimony of Yashua. We receive the gift of the Spirit through the Holy Spirit but it belongs to Yashua and delievered by His chosen ones. You do not have to caution me at all ECR because I will call sin by its right name. This is a sin because you are breaking the Commandments of YAHWEH! It clearly says we should not have other idols befor Him and you and the SDA Church has. You try to make things holy that YAHWEH has not ordain you or anyone to make holy. EGW had visions that were important to spiritual growth in the Bible. She is not a prophetess because all the Biblical things reveal to her were already there in the Scriptures. The dream about SF and other event are in the Bible as well. Read Matt 24 the whole chapter and see. The Bible clearly states not to add anything to the Book of Revelation which is the Tesimony of Yashua who is the Spirit of Prophecy or Prophecy things throught the Holy Spirit. The Father reveal it to His Son, whom the Son gave it to Gabriel that gave it to John. It is a lie about the Sunday Law if it is not presented in the Bible and especially not Revelation. The Father clearly stated this:
The Revelation of Yashua the Messiah, which Elohim gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: Who bare record of the word of Elohim, and of the testimony of Yashua the Messiah, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Rev 1:1-3
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship Elohim. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. I Yashua have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, andthe bright and Morning Star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Elohim shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohim shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Savior Yashua. Rev 22:8, 9, 16-20
No hear this clear if you continue in this manner after it is plain in the Word of Elohim and not mine that all who add or take from this prophecy will be removed out of the Book of Life and the holy city, the plagues that are written in Revelation will fall on them. If you are wrong you are wrong. You can not, nor will not show anywhere in EGW writings or the Bible that she was called a prophetess or that Revelation or any other Bible writers speak on a Sunday law. I have provided from the Bible to you and others clearly from all my comments on this forum what the Bible says:
The beast given to flame,
The Papacy is not the beast, but the harlot who rides him,
The beast is the son of perdition and sits in the Temple,
The beast and the harlot will fight the battle of Armaggedon,
The beast was not Greco-Roman and was different for the other beasts,
The Seven Trumpet has nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire it during the Time of Trouble,
Greco-Rome came out of the goat and the beast dealt with all false religions which included Greco-Rome that became Papal Rome,
Satan is the idol or image and he is the one speaking and again deceiving the world like he did both the serpent and Eve.
These are just a few things I have stated and gave Bible evidence, where is yours. What you'll do as you always have, nothing but say we believe different but no evidence at all from the Bible to back up what you believe. This is what I believe and this is where I stand and if I be persecuted, then that's what others have done and so will I. But, I will not recant nor will I allow you to say things about me and Contented which are not true.
Have a bless day,
