Criticism Spotlight
Ellen White Copied Her Chapter Titles from Edersheim . . . or Was It Vice Versa?   Ellen White has been accused of copying chapter titles for Patriarchs and Prophets from books by Alfred Edersheim. Yet since those same titles are found in books Ellen White wrote 12 years before Edersheim wrote his, one is left to wonder if this case of plagiarism might be the other way around. Take a look and see what you think.

Insightful Info
Cancer Caused by Dormant Oncogenes   In 1864 Ellen G. White wrote of something that could lie dormant in the body one's whole life, but which through some sort of irritation, could become actively cancerous. In 1976 two scientists established that dormant oncogenes in cells can cause cancer if they become activated through environmental factors or viruses.

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.

Quote for Today (How we select)
    "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.

The Story of Patriarchs and Prophets   Chapter 28: Idolatry at Sinai. "While Moses was absent it was a time of waiting and suspense to Israel.
