Gregory, and anyone else here on this forum: the latest and most up-to-date version of the Ellen White CD, containing all of her published materials, biographical materials, words of the pioneers, the King James Version Bible, Webster's 1828 Dictionary, and more is available at your local Adventist Book Center (ABC) for twenty dollars in both Mac and Windows formats.

It is truly a blessing to have these materials at hand, and to be able to easily find familiar statements in them via the search function.

I do often click past the compilation materials until I find the statement in an original work. But the GC 1888 is an original, and it is nearly the same as the GC 1911 edition in most cases.

God bless,

Green Cochoa.

When I want to dig deep and check out the Hebrew and Greek, I like www.blueletterbible.org.

It is good that everyone here has easy access to the Bible and SOP. Now we don't have to rely on GC or anyone else to verify himself. We can all search the scriptures and SOP for ourselves to see if these things are so.

And yet the Reformation came about as the Reformers came into contact with text from the Waldenses Bibles, why couldnt they see it in the Catholic versions.......????

While one day examining the books in the library of the university, Luther discovered a Latin Bible. Such a book he had never before seen. He was ignorant even of its existence. He had heard portions of the Gospels and Epistles, which were read to the people at public worship, and he supposed that these were the entire Bible. Now, for the first time, he looked upon the whole of God’s Word. With mingled awe and wonder he turned the sacred pages; with quickened pulse and throbbing heart he read for himself the words of life, pausing now and then to exclaim, “Oh, if God would give me such a book for my own!” Angels of Heaven were by his side, and rays of light from the throne of God revealed the treasures of truth to his understanding. He had ever feared to offend God, but now the deep conviction of his condition as a sinner took hold upon him as never before. {GC88 122.2}

With mingled awe and wonder he turned the sacred pages; with quickened pulse and throbbing heart he read for himself the words of life,. . .

Martin Luther, where did he get it? Was it from the Waldenses Bible? Or was it from a Roman Catholic version?

Here is what EGW says on this issue:
I apologize for the fact that I do not have access to the current version of the GC. My citation came from the online EGW writings.

NOTE: A Latin Bible is not that of the Waldenses. Rather, it is a Roman Catholic Bible.

Note what EGW said about the Latin Bible when Luther read it:



She called its pages sacred. She presents it as containing the "words of life."

If she said this about what was actually a Roman Catholic Bible, I beleive that she would have soundly taken to task some of those who have posted about modern versions. If she had told us that the Latin Bible contained sacred pages I suggest that would have said the same about modern versions.

Folks, I will say agin, some of the posts made against the modern versions, in my opinion, are those that might be said by the Father of Lies, although I do not challenge the sencierty of those who said them.
