10.    If Ellen G. White was alive under Mosaic Law, she would have been stoned to death for this false prophesy.  Check Deuteronomy 18:20-22, Deuter­onomy 13:1-10 and Matthew 7:15-20.

14.    Ellen G. White recommended wine to people. Test. Vol. 2, p. 386.

15.    Meat eaters have perverted appetites. Healthful Living, p. 97, 1897 ed. Now read Exodus 12:1-11.

17.    The “inspired prophetess” wrote that colored people should not be allowed to worship in the same buildings as whites. Test. Vol. 9, pp. 206, 214. Now read Acts 10:34-35 and Colossians 3:10-11.

18.    Ellen G. White taught that certain races of men are the result of amalgamation between man and beast. S.G. Vol. 3, pp. 64, 75. Question: Which?

19.    The Seventh-day Adventist prophetess teaches that the rods of the pharaoh’s magicians of Exodus 7:10-13 did not really become serpents. S.G. Vol. 3, pp. 205-206.

20.    Ellen G. White bore positive testimony against butter. Test. Vol. 3, p. 21. Now compare Isaiah 7:14-15.

27.    Ellen G. White claims to have seen a temple in the Holy City. Early Writings, p. 32. But John in Revelation 21:2, 22 said he saw no temple in the Holy City.

28.    Ellen G. White taught that wigs make people lose their reason and go hopelessly insane. Christian Mothers, No. 2, p. 121.

29.    Ellen G. White claims that blood was carried into the first apartment of the Old Testament tabernacle on a daily basis, Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 354-355.

30.    Ask any Seventh-day Adventist to prove point 29 from the Bible.

31.    Over 200 lines of Ellen G. White’s “Inspired Writings” have been omitted!

32.    Yet, she wrote that “a prophet of God has no right to alter the word of God.” S.G. Vol. 3, p. 10.

33.    Ellen G. White claimed to have seen Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, and Noah in a vision back in the 1840s. The Word to the Little Flock, p. 16.

34.    Since the Seventh-day Adventist Church does not teach the conscious state of the dead, you can understand why these 22 lines of “Inspired Vision” were removed!

35.    I would think that suppression of “a divinely inspired message” would bring the suppressor under a divine curse! Revelation 22:17-19.

36.    Since Ellen G. White tells us that her articles are not from human sources, she had backed herself into a theological corner. Check Testimonies Vol. 5, pp. 64, 67, 682-683, 687.

37.    The SDA Church wants us to believe that Satan repented and tried to get back into heaven. Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 1, pp. 18-19. Now compare I Timothy 1:3. Teach no other doctrine!
