E. G. White

You have read all of the sites that attack her. But was she really a plagiarist? In this book, David Conklin attempts to explode the myths about her writings. Conklin explores his methodology for evaluating the charges of plagiarism in Sister White's writings.

Many attempt to accuse Ellen White of plagiarism by only comparing similarities but not differences. Such an approach can overestimate the possible plagiarism. In this book, Conklin has used an approach that emphasizes not just similarities, but also differences. This gives a well rounded discussion of the topic.

In an email request, someone wanted to know all the sites that defend the ministry of Ellen White. The writer noted the growing number of sites that are attacking her ministry and wanted to see "the other side." I immediately encouraged the reader to download the free ebook that SabbathPulpit has published entitled: Was Ellen White a Plagiarist? by David Conklin.

The Ellen G. White Estate

I then noted that there are a number of such sites and ebooks that are readily available defending the ministry of Sister White. Perhaps the first and most notable is the White Estate itself. The Ellen G. White Estate has been charged with taking care of the documents of Ellen White. A very nice feature available on the site is the ability to search the published writings of Sister White.

Ellen White spoke of the great responsibility that parents have to lead their children. There is blame upon parents when they do not restrain the children that God has placed in their care.

Sister White refers to the case of Eli who allowed his children to run rampant and then saw his sons do the most dastardly things in the community of faith. Thus the ministers must have a peace in their family.

We should also keep in mind that the children often are not taken care of as they should be. Many of us, especially today, do not make the time to be with them. Certainly ultimate responsibility for the children's actions is with the child, but we can do what we can to promote a God-consciousness within them. Sister White reminds us of that responsibility.

It was not long before the early Adventists had a break away. This was Stephenson and Hall of Wisconsin. They created a journal entitled The Messenger and thus were called the Messenger party. They preached what was then termed the "age to come" doctrine which taught that there would be a second chance for salvation during the 1000 year Millennium.

As we continue looking at Ellen White's work Testimonies to the Church, a discussion about the time to begin the Sabbath is talked about. Here Leviticus 23:32 is quoted "From even unto even shall you celebrate your sabbath."

The early Adventists kept the Sabbath from 6pm to 6pm. Joseph Bates defended the practice in one of the early writings on the subject. However, more and more people began to question this practice. The early Adventists found the answer in the scripture for Leviticus 23:32 gives the timing of the Sabbath.

Ellen White in her first "Testimony" to the church in November 20, 1855, saw in the church a lack of the self-denial and sacrifice needed for the last days. She first spoke to the "messengers" or preachers. We are to preach with a "firm reliance upon God." In her day, she noted that many fell back on the "arguments" and didn't have the power that comes from the reliance on God.

Herbert Douglass has written a devotional that summarizes some of Ellen White's most beloved writings.

The devotional uses a daily reading format that summarizes a chapter a day from the five books of the Conflict of the Ages series and Steps to Christ, Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, and Christ's Object Lessons.

You can find the book at the Adventist Book Center.

Yesterday I called an old friend who happens to be an Adventist physician. He works with conventional medicine, but he always tells his patients about alternative, lifestyle-based approaches to overcome many of the problems that the patients have.
