ANOTHER MERRY-GO-ROUND RIDE OF "PRESENT TRUTH"
Dear Reader, The post "THE CIRCULAR REASONING OF SOME SDAs" said: An example of circular reasoning is this:
All of the writings of Mrs. White are true --because Mrs. White said that all of her writings were true. It gave quotes of Mrs. White that declared THE INFALLIBILITY OF MRS.WHITE AND HER "PRESENT TRUTH" ...
"There are precious truths in the Bible, BUT IT IS "PRESENT TRUTH" that the flock needs now." E.W. p.63
"...the enemy will seek to seduce souls from the truth, but all who believe that the Lord has spoken through Sister White, and has given her a message will be safe from the many delusions that will come in these last days...The positions taken in my books are TRUTH. The truth was revealed to us by the Holy Spirit...I am thankful that THE INSTRUCTION CONTAINED IN MY BOOKS ESTABLISHES PRESENT TRUTH FOR THIS TIME." Letter 50-1906, White Estate (To Elder W.W. Simpson)
The circular reasoning of Adventism makes a reasonable person dizzy as we go round and round with the inconsistent testimonies of Ellen White.
Dear Reader, here you can again experience the whirl of the merry-go-round about
THE REFORM DRESS - A shorter dress with pants for women.
In 1863 God is against it: "God would NOT have his people adopt the so-called reform dress." E.G. White (1863) Testimonies, I, p.421
The merry-go-round goes whirl, whirl ...
In 1867 God was for it: "God would NOW have His people adopt the reform dress..." E. G. White (1867) Testimonies I, p 525
The merry-go-round goes whirl, whirl, whirl ...
In 1897 God said forget it: "Do not again introduce the short dress and pants unless you have the word of the Lord for it." E.G. White to J. H. Haughey (H--19-1897, White estate)
When it comes to the "Reform Dress", God seems to be as fickle as any earthly fashion designer. Hmmm.
Only God knows how many people have rejected the truth regarding The Sabbath Commandment because of the absurdities of Mrs. White.
