## Mapping Tags: Map Tags: [[EGW]] [[Personal Theology]] ## **My Personal Stance on Ellen G. White:** The topic of Ellen G. White and her role in forming and informing the Adventist church is probably the most important place to start with Adventist dogma since this belief is one of the unique teachings that makes a person an Adventist. Adventism has been the only framework through which I have seen the Bible, as I am a third and fifth generation Adventist on my Dad’s and Mom’s sides, respectively. This framework is challenging to break out of because of the constant reinforcement of Adventist views and theology. It’s hard to explain what this means for someone trying to interpret and understand scripture “biblically.” Every denomination in Christianity believes its doctrines are grounded in scripture, but this cannot be entirely true, as there are many differing interpretations and ideas. We all have biases, and when we seek to understand the Word of God, we naturally tend to seek confirmation biases to affirm how we already see the Bible. This is not only true in Adventism but is intentionally emphasized and ingrained in what we read, study, listen to, etc. Ellen Gould White is the most critical author and founding pioneer of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is an understatement to say that “Adventism wouldn’t exist without the writings and teachings of Ellen G. White.” According to the SDA Church, the writings of their prophetess, Ellen G. White, are not only ‘divinely inspired’ [^1] and ‘correcting inaccurate interpretations of scripture.’ [^2] But they also claim that she is the infallible interpreter of the infallible Bible. In the June 3, 1971 issue of the *Advent Review & Sabbath Herald,* an official organ of the SDA Church, they state: “One of his own number in studying the Bible arrives at conclusions differing from this body of believers. Investigation and discussion follow, strife and division ensue, and a council is called in the enclosure. The two factions are arrayed against each other. Each maintains his position, at least to his own satisfaction, from the Bible. A vote is taken on the question and a majority settle it for the enclosure. The minority settle it for themselves; a new sect is formed. The wall of prejudice is broken down as far as our inquirer is concerned, and once more he is turned loose upon the uncertain sea of investigation. ***This illustrates the fact that most denominations, at least, have no satisfactory court of final appeal, that while the Bible is infallible and is the basis of all Christian faith, it needs to be infallibly interpreted to avoid confusion and division.” [^3]*** They then go on to explain how the infallible Bible is infallibly interpreted: “To be reliable, ***interpretation must come to us through the same channel through which came the Scriptures in the first place.*** But what is the channel through which Scripture came to us? “The testimony of Jesus,” or “the spirit of prophecy” ([**Rev. 19:10**](https://bible.faithlife.com/bible/esv/Rev.%2019.10)). It was the Spirit of Jesus that spoke through the prophets ([**1 Peter 1:10-11**](https://bible.faithlife.com/bible/esv/1%20Pet%201.10-11))… Thus the prophets have always been the living, active voice of God to His people, and ***the products of the prophets have always been the guide that alone the people could follow to sure success.*** This voice has always been its own interpreter.” [^4] The Seventh-day Adventist Church utilizes the term “spirit of prophecy” to refer to Ellen White’s writings. They believe Jesus is speaking through Ellen White with prophetic authority no differently than through the prophets of scripture. Thus, her commentary on any passage is the infallible interpretation of God himself. She is seen as the stamp of approval for the correct interpretation of scripture. They then follow up with: “Thus when we can find in the writings of Isaiah or Jeremiah something that explains some statement in the writings of Moses, when a writer of the New Testament explains a passage in the Old Testament, this is accepted, not as a private interpretation, ***but as settling all dispute,*** because the interpretation came through the same source, or channel, as the words for which the meaning is sought. Thus, Protestants have always claimed that the Bible is its own interpreter. ***Perhaps it is better to say the spirit of prophecy (we use the term here as synonymous with the gift of prophecy), or testimony of Jesus, is its own interpreter.” [^5]*** Because Ellen White supposedly had the “spirit of prophecy,” a term they have mis-defined and misplaced, her interpretation settles all disputes as the correct one. In their April—June 1976 *Sabbath School Quarterly,* another official organ, they state: “How advantaged the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is to have ***a modern inspired interpreter*** of both the Old and New Testaments! Surely there is every logical reason to ***give the inspired interpretation top priority in arriving at our understanding of the Word today.” [^6]*** Many Seventh-Day Adventists will vehemently deny that the SDA Church teaches this, but it is evident how the church holds her interpretation in high regard. Why would the marketing arm of the church put out publications that state these things and never recant from them if they didn’t believe it to be true? The SDA Church teaches that the infallible Bible cannot even be correctly understood apart from the infallible interpretation of Mrs. White, which is supposedly the equivalent of the prophets of old commenting on any given passage. She is supposed to be the antidote to theological division that supposedly plagues Protestantism—despite the SDA Church being rife with theological division themselves. As I mentioned earlier, when you read the Bible through the lens of the Adventist Worldview, you are taught to see, understand, and engage in the text with specific ideas already present in your mind. This is reinforced by the requirement to see Ellen G. White as the inspired interpreter of everything. To go against her not only means you won’t arrive at the same ideas, but it also means you aren’t an Adventist. Many Adventists claim that their beliefs are only based on the Bible and provide proof texts to show how they are Sola Scriptura. The problem is in how the church sees the text and teaches the layperson to view it as from Ellen G. White and/or some of the other founding patriarchs of the Adventist church. As I have clearly stated, the Seventh-day Adventist church holds EGW as the only infallible interpreter of Scripture. As I have carefully studied her writings and put her statements under the microscope of research, I have concluded that not only is she unreliable in her interpretations, but she is a heretical false prophet that teaches a different Jesus Christ, a different gospel, a different form of salvation through a mixture of faith + obedience, works based requirements of health and perfection of character, unbiblical atonement and sanctuary doctrines, dangerous prophecy teachings, and an all-around unbiblical teacher to be used as an interpreter of scripture. As you look into how Ellen G. White viewed her writings, you will see that she saw herself as inspired and expected others to see her writings the same way. She openly claimed that the Holy Ghost was the author of the Scripture as well as her writings: “**Scripture and Spirit of Prophecy Have Same Author—The Holy Ghost is the author of the Scriptures and of the Spirit of Prophecy.** These are not to be twisted and turned to mean what man may want them to mean, to carry out man’s ideas and sentiments, to carry forward man’s schemes at all hazards.” —Letter 92, 1900. ^{[^7]} She believed that her writings should take the same status as the authors of the Bible. In ancient times God spoke to men by **the mouth of prophets and apostles. In these days he speaks to them by the testimonies of his Spirit.** There was never a time when God instructed his people more earnestly than he instructs them now concerning his will and the course that he would have them pursue.—Testimonies for the Church 5:661. ^{[^8]} It is important to note that Ellen White spoke of her own writings as the testimonies and the Spirit of Prophecy. If a person claims that the Holy Ghost inspires their writings and they carry the same weight as the prophets and apostles in the Bible, we can safely conclude that she thought of her own writings with the same authority as the Bible. It does seem odd that she then claims that her writings are the ‘lesser light.” How could her writings be less when she claims the same authority as the Scripture and the Adventist church states that one should use her as the only infallible interpreter of the Bible? She goes on to state exactly how she wanted others to read and use her writings: “**We must follow the directions given through the spirit of prophecy.** We must love and obey the truth for this time. This will save us from accepting strong delusions. **God has spoken to us through His word. He has spoken to us through the testimonies to the church and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position that we should now occupy.** The warnings that have been given, line upon line, precept upon precept, should be heeded. **If we disregard them**, what excuse can we offer? ^{[^9]} She also clarified that no other person or author had the ability or authority she had. And if you read something that contradicts her thoughts as the inspired pen of God, you should ‘believe them not!’ You think individuals have prejudiced my mind. If I am in this state, I am not fitted to be entrusted with the work of God. **But as this matter has been brought before my mind, in other cases, where individuals have claimed to have messages for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of a similar character, the word has been given me, “Believe them not.”** “I have not sent them, yet they ran.” ^{[^10]} This is the unfortunate reality of Adventism. In the late 1800s, a human being who claimed to be the Spirit of Prophecy, a term strictly reserved for the Holy Spirit / Testimony of Jesus, claimed to be the mouthpiece of God for a small group of people. Ellen White required that this group follow her guidance and chastised anyone who wouldn’t submit to her authority. “If you seek to **turn aside the counsel of God** to suit yourselves, if you **lessen the confidence of God’s people in the testimonies He has sent them**, you are rebelling against God as certainly as were Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.” ^{[^11]} This forced authority was supposedly because nothing she wrote could be done without the Holy Spirit’s help. “I cannot at my own impulse take up a work and launch out into it. **I have to be impressed by the Spirit of God. I cannot write unless the Holy Spirit helps me.** Sometimes I cannot write at all. Then again I am aroused at eleven, twelve, and one o’clock; and I can write as fast as my hand can move over the paper.—Letter 11, 1903.” ^{[^12]} She believed and taught that her writings were truth and that her dependence was only on the Spirit of the Lord himself! “Although **I am as dependent upon the Spirit of the Lord in writing my views as I am in receiving them**, yet the words I employ in describing what I have seen are my own, **unless they be those spoken to me by an angel, which I always enclose in remarks of quotation.**” ^{[^13]} Since these statements are all from Ellen White herself, if we can find anything that is untrue, items that come from other humans but she claimed them to be from God, or anything that is in direct opposition to the Bible, we can then throw her out entirely and affirm with certainty that she is a false prophet that teaches a different gospel, a different Christ, and false doctrines. # <b>Ellen White’s Statements from God that are not True (Breaking the 9^th Commandment)</b> I want to start with Ellen White's most erroneous and heretical claim, which, as time has passed, we can see was a complete lie. It’s essential to pay close attention to the start of the Adventist movement. If we believe that Ellen White was speaking from God and can be trusted, then anything she claims came from God at any point in her life should be true and accurate. Right? Any good Adventist is familiar with William Miller's role in the 1844 debacle. But most don’t know the story's details, how Ellen White interpreted it, or statements made to stamp God's approval on Miller's mistake. William Miller made it into history books because of his work on predicting Jesus Christ’s coming and the world's end. Miller was convinced that he had accurately found the “time” through his study of [Daniel 8:14](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.14;nrsvue?t=fl) and other verses found in Revelation. After he spent years studying the chronology of Daniel, Miller became convinced that Jesus was returning in 1843. He spent countless hours compiling charts and maps of what he had discovered. The most famous chart has played an essential yet ominous role in Adventism. ![[Miller Chart.png]] *Figure 1: Facsimile of the Original 1843 Chart by William Miller* This chart was so detailed that it undoubtedly showed that Jesus was coming in 1843. Miller had figured it out! Even after these date-setting times passed without Jesus' return and Miller recanted from his mistakes, Ellen White affirmed the chart and claimed that God approved of Miller’s mistake. I have seen that the 1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures were as He wanted them; that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed.^{[^14]} Apparently, God purposely prevented Miller from seeing the truth and caused his mistake because His hand was over it. Really? This is blasphemous and shows the blunt manipulation that Ellen White was willing to go to for people to keep listening to her lies! She goes on to state, I saw that God was in the proclamation of the time in 1843. It was His design to arouse the people and bring them to a testing point, where they should decide for or against the truth. ^{[^15]} Jesus is clear regarding the day and hour of the Lord's coming, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” (Mt 24:36) Not even the angels know. How can Ellen White claim to know and put her stamp of approval on the chart that predicted the Lord’s return? This was not the only time Ellen White approved of predicting Jesus’ return. She predicted His return in 1843, 1844, and 1851. All were wrong, and she never recanted these predictions! In fact, Ellen White doubled down and claimed that God was involved in all the poor theology and time-predicting during these early years. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel. ^{[^16]} Here is a clear example of a woman claiming to be sent from God, predicting and prophesying dates of Jesus' return that were utterly wrong. Then, instead of recanting and asking for forgiveness, as William Miller did, she doubles down and claims that God was working in all her errors! Ellen White’s early years of ministry were riddled with errors, mistakes, and blasphemous date settings (Which was why she and her family were kicked out of the Methodist church.[^17]). For these reasons, I affirm that Ellen White was a liar, and her writings cannot be trusted. ## **Questions One Can Ask to Determine if Ellen G. White Aligns with Scripture or Not:** 1.

White and Adventists avoid interpreting [Daniel 8:9-14](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.9-14;nrsvue?t=fl) as a unit, they do make the following clear:  - [Daniel 8:9-10](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.9-10;nrsvue?t=fl) - WHO: Pagan Rome is the little horn Antichrist. - HOW: Pagan Rome defiled the earthly sanctuary in A.D. 70 by destroying it. - [Daniel 8:11-12](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.11-12;nrsvue?t=fl) - WHO: Papal Rome is the little horn Antichrist. - HOW: Papal Rome defiled the sanctuary by replacing it with the confessional. For further information on pagan and papal Rome, see *The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Dictionary,* “little horn” and “abomination,” 1960.  - [Daniel 8:13-14](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.13-14;nrsvue?t=fl) - WHO: Seventh-day Adventists depict Jesus Christ as the great hero. - HOW: Jesus began cleansing the heavenly sanctuary in 1844. - [Daniel 8:13-14](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.13-14;nrsvue?t=fl) - WHO: Jesus Himself is the worst little horn Antichrist. - HOW: Jesus has been (and is still continually) defiling the sanctuary in heaven by placing the atoned sins of the saints there. Therefore, Jesus is the worst of the three little horn powers in [Daniel 8:9-14](https://ref.ly/Dan%208.9-14;nrsvue?t=fl).  “As anciently the sins of the people were by faith placed upon the sin offering and through its blood transferred, in figure, to the earthly sanctuary, so in the new covenant the sins of the repentant are by faith placed upon Christ and transferred, in fact, to the heavenly sanctuary. And as the typical cleansing of the earthly was accomplished by the removal of the sins by which it had been polluted, so the actual cleansing of the heavenly is to be accomplished by the removal, or blotting out, of the sins which are there recorded. But before this can be accomplished, there must be an examination of the books of record to determine who, through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, are entitled to the benefits of His atonement. The cleansing of the sanctuary therefore involves a work of investigation—a work of judgment. This work must be performed prior to the coming of Christ to redeem His people; for when He comes, His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his works. [Revelation 22:12](https://ref.ly/Rev%2022.12;nrsvue?t=fl).”^{[^18]} Shocking but true, when Adventists teach that Jesus carried (and is still carrying) atoned sins into the heavenly sanctuary, they inadvertently make Jesus the Antichrist of [Daniel 8](https://ref.ly/Dan%208;nrsvue?t=fl). # **Additional Research Topics** [[Needs To Be Further Developed]] Ellen White Denies the deity of Jesus Christ. - Statements she claimed from herself or from God that were taken from another author. (Bearing False Witness) - Statement in direct opposition to the Bible (Unbiblical/Heresy) A section on the 1919 Conference and what to do with EGW after she died. A section on her Grandson and Husband stating that she wasn’t who she claimed to be. A section on first-hand accounts of people who thought she wasn’t a true prophet but rather a liar and fraud. (Canright, Fanny Bolton, Kellogg) One can read books about the vital topic of Ellen G. White: her writings, her dealings with people, and the historical context of why her writings were written. - [Prophetess of Health by Ronald Numbers](https://archive.org/details/RonaldL.NumbersProphetessOfHealthAStudyOfEllenG.White) - [The White Lie by Walter Rea (1982 Edition)](https://ia601201.us.archive.org/2/items/ReaWalter.TheWhiteLie1982/1982_rea_theWhiteLie_printed_text.pdf) - [Ellen G.
