I haven’t yet come across any of her teachings which contradict scripture.
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
It doesn’t seem to stop God from calling a prophetess:
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. Exodus 15 KJV
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Micah 6 KJV
- Some say that when the men are unwilling or unable to fulfil the role required of God then He may call a woman.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. 6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. 8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. Judges 4 KJV
14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. 2 Kings 22 KJV (2 Chronicles 34:22-28)
This demonstrates nothing (???)
Women are not priests and are not to be teacher-pastors.
The passage is quite clear. Stop spinning yarn.
Unfulfilled prophecy and teaching against the commandments is clear contradiction of the guidelines set out in scripture.
That said, Adventism is a far cry from mainstream churchianity. It is organized and totally on point with several major issues. Many of my Torah practicng friends came out of 7th day assemblies.
Unfulfilled prophecy and teaching against the commandments
Where does she do these?

The details are too much to go into in a post like this. I have no problem with SDA members to the extent that they do not "reject" me for my differing beliefs. An example would be vegetarianism. If that is your dietary choice, that is fine, but it is NOT what the bible teaches. Attending an assemby outside of the home on the Sabbath is another example.
I think there is a HUGE variety available for acceptable living in the Fathers eyes. The caveat is that we MUST accept the Messiah as our mediator in order to be heard by the Father. Removing all false beliefs is a lifelong journey, and we are all at different places.
If you remove Ellen Whites "authority", do the teachings of SDA stand alone in agreement with Scripture?
These types of discussions can sometimes be productive, but often I have found that we BOTH, will end up relying on preconceptions to explain our positions. I encourage you,( and I can tell from your posts that the feeling is mutual), tocontunue your study and living with a heart that is humble. Being wrong will suck more when we stand at judgement than the embarassment we might feel in admitting error in this life.
