DO THIS AS OFTEN IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME FREE

I wish for all Adventists to be free from the yoke of false doctrines.Īs I tend to do, I would like to start with some of Ellen White’s statements and then I will move on to what the scriptures tells us. I truly desire for Adventists to know the truth and to free themselves from those things that are not biblical. I am not recruiting anyone to a different religion or denomination. I have nothing to gain by talking about any of this.

This blog is geared more toward specific issues that I, a former SDA, see in the church’s teachings and in issues that I struggled with as I made my way out of the denomination. There are other websites that go into greater detail than I care to go in addressing some of the overall issues with her but a simple web search will take you to a plethora of other sites to read if you so choose. The church claims Sola Scriptura (scriptures only) but the truth of the matter is that Ellen White trumps God’s word within the organization. There would be no more support for some of the doctrines. What would happen to the entire organization if everything she said was taken away from the foundation of the church? The church’s foundation would crumble. So, why does the denomination still claim Ellen White was a prophet? Because without her the denomination cannot stand as it does now, it would not be able to uphold all of its doctrines. She is not God and that judgement is God’s alone. Ellen White often publicly targeted those who did not believe in her visions and, in some cases made outright accusations against people, going so far as to cast judgement on them in regards to their salvation.

She was not wrong across the board – she knew the Bible quite well but she definitely misunderstood some things or copied erroneous teachings from others’ books (her plagiarism is no longer denied by the White Estate nor by the Adventist church). There is an unspoken idea in order for her to be disproved that she needs to be proven wrong across the board but that is an unrealistic idea that began during her lifetime. Review my first blog, Deception in Disguise, for a few simple examples of her erroneous teachings that do not align with what the Bible says as plain as day. Unfortunately, Ellen White does not fit into this description. God’s prophets are concise and accurate 100% of the time.

They do not accidentally mix error with truth. I am not saying that she was not a Godly woman, or that she had bad intentions, I think she really thought she was a “messenger” of God, but I am absolutely certain she was not a prophet because God’s prophets’ prophecies do not fail. I cannot say it clearly enough, though, that Ellen White was not a prophet. I will explain from the Bible why I disagree with this. I completely disagree with the idea that the feasts were abolished. Ellen White had a few things to say regarding the Biblical feasts and for the most part she spoke about the sacrificial system being done away with, which I do not totally disagree with, but she did make some other statements about the feasts being for the Jews only and that they were done away with at the cross. Seventh-day Adventists recoil at the thought of observing the Biblical feasts because it has been ingrained that by doing so we are either shedding the blood of Jesus again or that the feasts were done away with at the time of Christ’s death. I was reluctant to address the feasts at this point in this blogging journey but I realized that so many things come back to God’s appointed times – His feasts and festivals. I know this post was a long time in coming. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

Do this as often in remembrance of me
