Module SOP02: An analysis of "Ellen White Contradicts the Bible over Fifty Times."

Описание: ENJOY THIS FREE TRAINING

This is part two of the class module "The Spirit of Prophecy" where pastor Kevin Morgan trains on how to appropriately analysis the various accusations against Ellen G. White, particularly the 50 popular accusations. To receive a full on training, visit: http://www.adlatraining.org.

THE RESPONSE

For years these supposed contradictions have made their way into websites, blogs, videos and recently social media. Critics copy these allegations and paste them everywhere, without, in most cases, reading each one carefully and considering the answers Adventists have already given.

We now post these answers here on YouTube. Pastor Kevin Morgan, an apologist, author and editor, unites with "the volunteers at Ellen-White.com" and with the Advent Defense League to produce what you are about to watch: a refutation of those supposed contradictions. Because it is not reasonable to reply to all 50 in one video, we are posting a link in the description where you will be directed to our website where each allegation is carefully examined and refuted. This video, however, lays some important fundamental principles while responding to various accusations. These fundamental, biblical principles were either ignored or went unnoticed by these critics, and allegations were mistakenly made that undermine those principles. As Pastor Morgan says, "the basis for the alleged contradictions can be grouped in at least one of seven categories..." Those categories are as follows:

1. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR OR FACTUAL MISTAKE. There are three:
the implication that the Tower of Babel was built before the Flood (no. 7)—
corrected in The Spirit of Prophecy, volume 1 (1870); four allies total
rather than four allies in addition to Chedorlaomer (no. 55A)—corrected in
From Eternity Past (1983) and The Beginning of the End (2007); two
different Herods (no. 6A)—corrected in Sketches from the Life of Paul.

2. INSUFFICIENT STUDY OF THE BIBLE OR HISTORY. Four examples are
Moses’ wife’s being called a Cushite (no. 9)—retracted; Israel’s being
destroyed for gluttony (no. 10); Christ’s being tempted for 40 days (no.
21)—retracted; John’s surviving being boiled in oil (no. 5A).

3. OVERLOOKED CONTEXT. Four examples are whether the plan of
redemption existed before the Fall (no. 1), the application of blood in daily
sacrifices (no. 13), and whether sickness is sin (no. 45).

4. SEMANTICAL ARGUMENT. Examples include the use of phrases like
“with her” (no. 2), “like other children” (no. 14), Christ’s being “truly God”
(no. 15), who “chose” Judas (no. 17), the difference between “visited
upon” and “transferred to” (no. 32), and whether Judas had a conviction to
confess his sin (no. 4A).

5. MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT. Two examples are
humankind’s second probation (or chance for life) through Christ (no. 24)
and that we must be perfect before Christ will accept us (no. 38).

6. DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCE. Examples include differences concerning the
Sabbath as the seal of God (no. 42), the Investigative Judgment (nos. 25,
27), and eschatology (no. 46).

7. NEW DETAILS. Two examples are dogs eating Judas’ remains (no. 18)
and Mary’s being led away from the cross (no. 22).

When these responses were first sent to the creators of these allegations, they quietly removed two of them and replaced them with new ones. Those new ones were then refuted as well. If they truly considered the rest of the responses, they'd remove the rest of them and the document would no longer exist.
