Oh i know the SDA and had you pegged for one on your first comment. you are one of many modern heresies that exist solely because people don't know the provenance of their own beliefs. I am not interested in hearing what you have to say because the truth is available to anyone who honestly looks for it and all you have done is search out those self-validating beliefs that depend soley on the corruption of scripture and tradition. You are a modern 19th century judaized cult and your lack of faith in the Holy Spirit and your over-reliance on your own "intellect" is what has damned you to your strong delusion. You still haven't researched who gave us the Bible and you actually believe that the Holy Spirit could not safeguard scripture and Tradition for 1900 years and needed a heretic crazy woman, Ellen White, to "uncover" the truth about scripture. Imagine thinking the Holy Spirit would be defeated for 1900 and that the apostles could have it so wrong. According to you, it's not the Church fathers, or the doctors or the saints that got it right, it's Ellen White and YOU for beleiving in her. Good luck with that, because without God on your side, luck is all you have.
I haven't read Ellen White's work and have not used it in my beliefs. I focus on the Bible. There may come a time when I accept her as a prophet but that time is not yet.
If you want to know what pride and arrogance look like, look no further than a church that seeks to change the commandments of God. Let me know how you reconcile the papacy's endorsement of homosexual civil unions, the changing of the Holy Sabbath, and the editing of the 10 Commandments.
Appeals to the Holy Spirit in this context are laughable. Such invocations must be tested by the Word of God. Where these statements contradict the Word of God they are not the Holy Spirit talking, but another far less savory spirit.
If you doubt the corruption of the church, look to their protection of pedophiles in their own ranks.
