Criticism Spotlight
"Contradiction #1: Plan of Salvation 'Devised' After the Fall"   Ellen White apparently puts the "devising" of the plan of salvation both before Creation and after the fall. Our critic maintains that the "after the fall" statements contradict the Bible. We examine similar "after the fall" statements found in the Bible, as well as dictionary definitions for "devise."

Insightful Info
Zinc Stored in the Brain   Back in 1870, Ellen White wrote of a substance in the brain that was needed to nourish the system. A century later, scientists confirmed that zinc, which the brain contains a lot of, is indeed an important nutrient for humans. They have also confirmed that zinc plays a part in many digestive and metabolic processes. Lucky guess? Coincidence? Inspired? You decide.

About Her Visions
A Spirit Medium Flees Away   John Loughborough recounts the time when Ellen White had a vision in Parkville, Michigan. A spirit medium who had earlier boasted that he could bring her out of vision in one minute, when coming forward to examine her, decided instead to flee the scene.

Sketches From The Life of Paul   Chapter 17: Paul Revisits Corinth. "It was autumn when Paul again visited Corinth.
