"The Passion of the Christ" With all the publicity about Mel Gibson's new movie, it's interesting to note
a few things Ellen White had to say about contemplating the closing scenes of Christ's life.
Perhaps the transforming power she attributes to those scenes is what Mel found so helpful
in his own spiritual life. |

| Her Beliefs |
Hell & Eternal Torment Ellen White most certainly believed in hell, but she also firmly believed in
John 3:16. For this reason and others, her understanding of hell was more like that of Isaac
Watts and seventeenth-century General Baptists than that of John Calvin. See what you
think of her views. |

| "But how little of the result of the
world's noblest work is in this life manifest to the doer!
How many toil unselfishly and unweariedly for those who
pass beyond their reach and knowledge! Parents and
teachers lie down in their last sleep, their lifework seeming
to have been wrought in vain; they know not that
their faithfulness has unsealed springs of blessing that
can never cease to flow; only by faith they see the children
they have trained become a benediction and an inspiration
to their fellow men, and the influence repeat itself a
thousandfold." | | (Education 305, 306) |

| Fulfilled or Fallacy? |
The Tsunami of 2004 & Sunday Breaking Ellen White wrote in 1884 that people would blame tidal waves on breaking the Sunday
sabbath. In February 2005, a Presbyterian minister named John MacLeod made quite a few waves by
suggesting that the horrific tsunami of December 26, 2004, was a judgment of God against Sunday breaking. |

| Opposition Ceases Some brethren from more formal churches thought
this wrong, and would say "bitter and cutting things" to her. But their
opposition disappeared after the same experience happened to them. [more] |
