I always thought truth never changes. So if something else comes along and is called the truth which is contrary to something in the past, is and or was it really the truth?I would say the sum total of her message is to be ever vigilantly on-guard against any Scripture that contradicts the "Present Truth." And during the late 1800's, the "Present Truth" would often diametrically refute the "Prior Present Truth" that was only a few years old. Or less.
So I propose a translation guide for the meaning of these terms:
Present Truth = The doctrines the Church holds right this very instant.
Future Present Truth = Presently unknown Present Truth, which once apprehended, may well convert Present Truth into Past Present Truth.
Past Present Truth = Truth that was once Present Truth, but has been superseded by more up-to-date Present Truth.
Present Present Truth = Present Truth that has been contradicted by other Present Truth, but has preserved the latter Present Truth into the category of potential Future Present Truth.
I haven's seen your rebuttal about Larry's quotes in response to your saying those people fully support the Ten Commandments. Why is this? Are his quotes lies or something?

So you're going to follow their example of a 'sabbath' on Sunday?OR to put it another way --
=====================================
your own pro-sunday groups denounce your idea of war against God's Ten Commandments including your opposition to the 4th commandment today and also starting in Eden in Gen 2:3.
So you're going to follow their example of a 'sabbath' on Sunday? '
So you're going to follow their example of a 'sabbath' on Sunday?
That's desperation. You're so desperate that you're going to continue your personal war against the covenant from Mount Sinai Moses called the Ten Commandments! Exodus 20:11 proves a creation origin to be a myth you can't support. Tell me, why can't you find a reference to the Sabbath anywhere in the Genesis record?
We already know the answer.
Just to lighten things up a bit, you ought to turn to an interesting competition where the "winner" is the one who can come up with the most repulsive and insane quote of Ellen White's. And I vote we should all have some sympathy for BobRyan and his valiant efforts to skillfully dodge and deflect away any association with this incredibly vile, dreadful, deplorable, despicable and obviously-insane woman. And how he tries to blame the entire aberrant and poisonous Seventh Day Adventist Sabbath Doctrine onto the Bible, an unsuspecting Seventh Day Baptist woman, various Protestant Ministers, and Catholic sources.
The most stomach-churning and incredibly-vile statement was one where she advised a child-molesting Preacher who committed outrageous acts of forcible sodomy on a very young girl to "keep it quiet." And condemned the girl for cooperating in the experience. This taken verbatim out of Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, p. 68:
"Any youth who would submit her body to be handled by a man is in no way fit for the kingdom of heaven."
Additionally, quite possibly the most vile quote in religious history, Ellen White here denounces the girl in even more stringent terms:
"If I were forced to choose whether these children should be exposed to these temptations, educated in these evil practices, or be cut down by death, I would say, Let them die in their innocency."
And here is her advise to the Molesting Preacher to just energetically sweep the whole incident under the rug:
"You ask me if you shall make a public confession. I say, No. Do not dishonor the Master by making public the fact that one ministering in the Word could be guilty of such sin as you have committed. It would be a disgrace to the ministry. Do not give publicity to this matter by any means. It would do injustice to the whole cause of God. It would create impure thoughts in the minds of many even to hear these things repeated. Defile not the lips even by communicating this to your wife, to make her ashamed and bow her head in sorrow."
Most repulsive Ellen White quote? - Atheist Nexus
Of course, as everyone already knows, Ellen White is the certifiably-insane source of Adventism's horrifying and anti-Christian Sabbath Doctrine.
It might just be easier to admit it.
Can you give me more info on this quote?--On page 68 this is what comes up
Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and Divorce, Page 68
daughter has pledged herself to Walter C in marriage, and to break her marriage vows would be far from right. She cannot now disannul her obligations to him.
You say that Walter was engaged to some young lady in Topeka. I cannot speak concerning this, for I have not heard Walter’s reasons for breaking his engagement, if he did so. But I had a personal knowledge of his former relations with his first wife, Laura. Walter loved Laura far too well, for she was not worthy of his regard. He did all in his power to help her, and sought in every possible way to retain her as his wife. He could not have done more than he did do. I pleaded with her, and tried to show her the inconsistency of her course, and begged her not to obtain a divorce; but she was determined and willful and stubborn, and would have her own way. While she lived with him she sought to secure all the money possible from him, but she would not treat him kindly as a wife should treat her husband.
A Right to Happiness—Walter did not put his wife away. She left him, and put him away, and married another man. I see nothing in the Scripture that forbids him to marry again in the Lord. He has a right to the affection of a woman who, knowing his physical defect, shall choose to give him her love. The time has come when a sterile condition is not the worst condition to be in. I see wives who have borne large families of children, and they are unable to give them proper care. These women do not have time to recover from the weakness of bearing one child before they are with child again.
Many of these women are the wives of poor men who have not sufficient means to support their increasing families, and I am at the present time helping them to feed and clothe and educate their children. But notwithstanding their inability to support their offspring, children are

We already know the answer.
So you're endorsing their 'Sunday sabbath'. If nothing else, you've shown an undying commitment for extra-Biblical mythology. Isn't this why you can't find a reference for the Sabbath anywhere in the Genesis record?Until you actually click on the link and read the point that your are supposedly responding to.
And find this...

What you're calling "venemous, deceitful attacks" on my part have been honest questions and observations made with one eye on the Law God ordained as the old covenant, and the other eye on your posts that contradict the Law as often as they can. And your response to those questions have been continual deflection that reveal there isn't any basis for your views.I will say this---am very glad to have run into Larry and Victor and these others--it has made me make sense of some things through their venemous, deceitful attacks. This statement becomes very clearly imaginable because it has happened:
"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of Spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.—The Great Controversy, 588.
We have pointed out that your claim of keeping the commandments of God is in direct conflict with reality. You redefined God's commandments to formulate an excuse to leave Christianity and embrace the basic tenets of Judaism. And then you chop those tenets up to reject the Law when it suits you, throw another 'jesus' into the mix, and call the result "the Remnant".The venom spuwed forth here shows clearly how easy it is now for the SDA to become the "harlot", the demonic, deceitful non-christian cult who is keeping the world divided instead of unified unto one faith with the Pope--Joseph did hug his brothers--and they bowed to him as to a Pharoah. Brilliant choice of a biblical story to depict the new church.
We say that we are saved by grace alone and through our love for God, we keep His commandments and do His works, and we are deceitful--when all these denominations got together with the Pope and said it--it was wonderful--because it's all under Sunday worship.
If you cannot comprehend the vile, despicable raw evil of what was done and said as advice to that girl, then God help you. And then to completely sweep it under the rug and the Preacher gets mere brief period of probation? There is no jurisdiction in the United States where that pervert would not get Life without Possibility of Parole in Prison today.
"A little time of probation is still granted you; make the most of it in searching the Word."
Every state in the United States in 1897 that prohibited the "Infamous Crime Against Nature" (nearly all of them) punished Sodomy with the Death Penalty. In fact, in those days it was punished far more severely than it is today. There are plenty of places in the South in 1897 where that vile-pervert would have been lynched to a tree after a short trial. There was no mercy for Shephards who committed such a horrific vile act against one of their own sheep. You are just kidding yourself to think otherwise.
"There is no indication that he raped her--it is considered rape today if under the age of consent--back then there wasn't any such thing as statutory rape."
That is an utter lie. ALL states had laws against underage sex, and ALL of them occasionally deployed the "Infamous Crime against Nature" laws against child molesters. That carried the potential of the Death Penalty.
And this was a preacher doing it! Don't you get it: He committed SODOMY, not mere "underage sex!"Can you comprehend the truly ghastly implications of such a thing?
Ellen White, by giving this advice, let a child molester skate who deserved nothing less than the Death Penalty under the existing laws of the time.
Face it, this advice was given only to protect the reputation of the Church. An extraordinarily serious crime was committed. Sodomy means what it says and says what it means. Ellen White enabled a very grave crime to go unpunished. A criminal who committed one of the most heinous crimes on the books at the time never saw the inside of a courtroom, let alone the appropriate hangman's noose.
That ought to make you sick to the stomach.
The SDA don't keep the Law. The Law imputes sin via transgressions that you, of all people, know full well doesn't stop those transgressions.Tell me, were you, also, molested by some SDA--as I was?? There is much anger in you and it is poisening your soul, your whole mind set.
He needs to also show where along with Adam, where did he tell Noah or Abraham that command as well?
The judge in this case is the Law Adventists have affirmed no intent on compliance with. The Law isn't subject to anyone's opinion.Opinion's. Let's let God be the judge.
Opinion's. Let's let God be the judge.
An hour ago you affirmed Genesis 2:3 wasn't the Sabbath. You can't seem to make up your mind today!Sabbath in Eden Gen 2:3 found in the Bible itself for "All mankind' even in the OT:
