Does God wink at sinful behaviors (in the specific people I dscribed) that offend ordinary people, that cause them to conclude Christianity is a joke, that cause them to despise the Gospel?

Ellen White said that Waggoner could teach rbf better than she could. The person to whom she said this, a delegate of the 1888 GC session in Mpls., was surprised, and she responded:



Ellen White recognized the light which God sent to us through J&W. She never claimed to have that light. She said, to the contrary, that had J&W not brought that light, we would not have had it, unless God sent someone else to bring it.

The Spirit of Prophecy is just one of the gifts that God has for the last church. A tremendous gift, indeed, but not the only gift. We do God, and Ellen White, a disservice if we pay no heed to truth which God sends our way simply because Ellen White did not write it; she certainly never intended that.

It's hard to believe you would ask such a question. I'll make a thread out it.



I pointed out several times that, according to EGW, God never sanctioned polygamy even once. Did you agree with this? Or was she wrong about this?

I guess that would bring it back a full circle to the question, what is the Spirit of prophecy.

Tom, I am reposting the following question because you haven't answered it yet. What you posted above is not an answer.

1. Again, what about the law that required a brother to marry his brother's widow?

2. It led to polygamy, right?

3. Is it considered "polygamy" when God ordains it?

4. Likewise, was it considered "incest" when Adam's kids married each other?

The quote is starting to look like a bulls-eye, eh. You're right, we're missing the target, we need to aim better.

Impressive job nesting quotes.

Tom, here is the beginning of another nest.

Regarding 1 through 3 , I have been responding to your questions by pointing out that EGW said that polygamy was not sanctioned by God even once.

4 is a separate subject. You can start a topic on it if you wish.

And again you have failed to answer to the questions. Or, are you refusing to answer them? If so, no problem. You are entitled. But it would be nice if you answered them.

Are there times when Jesus doesn't consider it polygamy, times when He doesn't consider it incest? Are there times when permitting polygamy isn't sanctioning polygamy?
