Notice in the above that even though blacks and whites are "of one blood," God forbids their intermarriage. Equality does not mean no distinction should be made. God FORBIDS this? Where do you get this from? Read EGW's quote you provided again. NO WHERE does God forbid this!!!!!!!! That is NOT what EGW is talking about.

When you know ALL of Ellen White's writings,
No one knows Ellen White's writings as well as Green does! Trump, Trump, Trump....

We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

“No distinction on account of nationality, race, or caste, is recognized by God. He is the Maker of all mankind. All men are of one family by creation, and all are one through redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the temple, that every soul may have free access to God. His love is so broad, so deep, so full, that it penetrates everywhere.” - Ellen G. White, Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 386.
Green, what does “No distinction on account of nationality, race, or caste, is recognized by God" mean to you? In context of what she is saying, how is that different from what you are saying about Black people not being ... what?

Thursday: Another Kind of Comforter
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Cor. 1:3-4, NKJV).
Who's the comforter in this text?

Blessings,
Green Cochoa. I know the quotes of EGW on the issue. Your interpretation of God is still wrong. EGW counsel is not that God want to maintain a barrier between those of different skin color, that that you claim have the mark of Cain. I wonder how would tread a person of mixed heritage?

Does this EGW quote still apply today, or was it for young people at a specific time and not for them or us today?
In reply to inquiries regarding the advisability of intermarriage between Christian young people of the white and black races, I will say that in my earlier experience this question was brought before me, and the light given me of the Lord was that this step should not be taken; for it is sure to create controversy and confusion. I have always had the same counsel to give. No encouragement to marriages of this character should be given among our people. Let the colored brother enter into marriage with a colored sister who is worthy, one who loves God, and keeps His commandments. Let the white sister who contemplates uniting in marriage with the colored brother refuse to take this step, for the Lord is not leading in this direction. {2SM 344.1}
It seems that I may have a bit of EGW researching to do, as I know of more than one black and white marriages with two of them today both being medical doctors.
