Criticism Spotlight
"Mrs. White's Health Visions: Was it God? Or Dr. Jackson?"   Some claim that Ellen White got her health reform material from Dr. James C. Jackson instead of from vision. We examine the evidence here, and while we had difficulty confirming the claim, we did uncover a case of plagiarism of another sort.

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)
    "The Elder Brother of our race is by the eternal throne. He looks upon every soul who is turning his face toward Him as the Saviour. He knows by experience what are the weaknesses of humanity, what are our wants, and where lies the strength of our temptations; for He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. He is watching over you, trembling child of God. Are you tempted? He will deliver. Are you weak? He will strengthen. Are you ignorant? He will enlighten. Are you wounded? He will heal."
(Desire of Ages 329)

Fulfilled or Fallacy?
The National Sunday Law   Like most Seventh-day Adventists, Ellen G. White believed that Sunday worship would one day be enforced by law, while obedience to the fourth commandment would be prohibited. In this series we look at her prediction, the 1880's, and recent statements by Pat Robertson, Pope John Paul, and others.

About Her Visions
"None of the Disgusting Grimaces or Contortions Which Usually Attend Spiritualist Mediums"   George Butler adds his testimony, describing the various phenomena that occurred during Ellen White's visions. He adds that, unlike the spiritualist mediums, her demeanor in vision was "calm, dignified, and impressive, her very appearance strikes the beholder with reverence and solemnity."

"From Ephesus Paul went to Troas, with the same object which was ever before him, that of making known to the people the way of salvation through Christ.
