Module SOP02: An analysis of "Ellen White Contradicts the Bible over Fifty Times."

ENJOY THIS FREE TRAINING This is part two of the class module "The Spirit of Prophecy" where pastor Kevin Morgan trains on how to appropriately analysis the various accusations against Ellen G. White, particularly the 50 popular accusations. To receive a full on training, visit: http://www.adlatraining.org. THE RESPONSE For years these supposed contradictions have made their way into websites, blogs, videos and recently social media. Critics copy these allegations and paste them everywhere, without, in most cases, reading each one carefully and considering the answers Adventists have already given. We now post these answers here on YouTube. Pastor Kevin Morgan, an apologist, author and editor, unites with "the volunteers at Ellen-White.com" and with the Advent Defense League to produce what you are about to watch: a refutation of those supposed contradictions. Because it is not reasonable to reply to all 50 in one video, we are posting a link in the description where you will be directed to our website where each allegation is carefully examined and refuted. This video, however, lays some important fundamental principles while responding to various accusations. These fundamental, biblical principles were either ignored or went unnoticed by these critics, and allegations were mistakenly made that undermine those principles. As Pastor Morgan says, "the basis for the alleged contradictions can be grouped in at least one of seven categories..." Those categories are as follows: 1. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR OR FACTUAL MISTAKE. There are three: the implication that the Tower of Babel was built before the Flood (no. 7)— corrected in The Spirit of Prophecy, volume 1 (1870); four allies total rather than four allies in addition to Chedorlaomer (no. 55A)—corrected in From Eternity Past (1983) and The Beginning of the End (2007); two different Herods (no. 6A)—corrected in Sketches from the Life of Paul. 2. INSUFFICIENT STUDY OF THE BIBLE OR HISTORY. Four examples are Moses’ wife’s being called a Cushite (no. 9)—retracted; Israel’s being destroyed for gluttony (no. 10); Christ’s being tempted for 40 days (no. 21)—retracted; John’s surviving being boiled in oil (no. 5A). 3. OVERLOOKED CONTEXT. Four examples are whether the plan of redemption existed before the Fall (no. 1), the application of blood in daily sacrifices (no. 13), and whether sickness is sin (no. 45). 4. SEMANTICAL ARGUMENT. Examples include the use of phrases like “with her” (no. 2), “like other children” (no. 14), Christ’s being “truly God” (no. 15), who “chose” Judas (no. 17), the difference between “visited upon” and “transferred to” (no. 32), and whether Judas had a conviction to confess his sin (no. 4A). 5. MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT. Two examples are humankind’s second probation (or chance for life) through Christ (no. 24) and that we must be perfect before Christ will accept us (no. 38). 6. DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCE. Examples include differences concerning the Sabbath as the seal of God (no. 42), the Investigative Judgment (nos. 25, 27), and eschatology (no. 46). 7. NEW DETAILS. Two examples are dogs eating Judas’ remains (no. 18) and Mary’s being led away from the cross (no. 22). When these responses were first sent to the creators of these allegations, they quietly removed two of them and replaced them with new ones. Those new ones were then refuted as well. If they truly considered the rest of the responses, they'd remove the rest of them and the document would no longer exist. This particular video was broadcast in our exclusive apologetics training group, but aired on YouTube as well. Join our group for intense training that prepares you to meet the critics in a biblically sound, firm and Christ-like manner. Previous instructors include Dr. Roy Gane of Andrews University, Dave Fiedler of Weimar University, Kevin Morgan author of White Lie Soap, and others.
