We ignore Paul when he says that Eve was deceived. We also ignore him when he says we see through a glass darkly. We ignore Moses when he says that Eve was not created when the command was given. We don't even realise that our doctrines on salvation ignore Moses when he says God created all in the beginning. In essence, we are teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.

October 3, 1893 Lessons From the Church in the
Wilderness.
-
By Mrs. E. G. White.

In the example of Moses pleading for the children of Israel, is represented the position that we should take in regard to the people of God, however erring, or weak, or defective they may be. By the mighty cleaver of truth, the Lord has brought out a people from the quarry of the world, as he brought out of Egypt a people to keep his commandments, and at every step he has shown them that he is leading them in paths of truth and righteousness.
He has sent his light and his counsels, instructing them to build institutions of learning, to provide sanitariums and publishing houses, and success has attended the carrying out of these plans. The money of the Seventh-day Adventists has not been hoarded in order that they might live delicately, but self-denial and self-sacrifice have marked their history, and still their work is to make progress, and to be aggressive. The world have a light constantly shining upon them, because this people honor God in keeping his commandments. Now can we expect that a message would be true that would designate as Babylon the people for whom God has done so much? Hell would triumph should such a message be received, and the world would be strengthened in iniquity. All the reproaches which Satan has cast upon the character of God, would appear as truth, and the conclusion would be made that God has no chosen or organized church in the world. O, what a triumph would this be to Satan and his confederacy of evil! God does not work in this way. He does just what he said he would do in the 58th chapter of Isaiah:-- {RH, October 3, 1893 par. 13}

This tells me that God does have an organized church on this earth, and that organized church is none other than the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
