I am watching Phil Johnson, on Ellen G White. Not everything she said was bad, but she essentially claimed to write scripture. That is utter hogwash. That’s false doctrine, and it’s blasphemy. No wonder the people leave the SDA all the time. The problem is, when they leave, usually, they leave anything spiritual and become agnostic. Not good.
Yeah, the part about becoming agnostic was also in the other video I watched yesterday. Speaker said they were already set up to do that very thing should they leave the SDA. I thought about it a while and came to the conclusion that it’s almost certainly proof they were never saved to begin with. You can walk away from a cult, but you can’t just walk away from Our Heavenly Father if you’re in Christ Jesus. Doesn’t wash.
About Ellen G. White. She put her writings above the writings of Paul, for certain, is all I know on that particular note at this time. That’s putting one’s self above the person GOD chose and thereby above God’s own words. I wouldn’t dare.
Also, since Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles, it makes sense if your EGW to attack his epistles and not the Hebrew epistles which are the ones she uses to fool the gullible who don’t know the difference between Israel, Spiritual Israel and the Church. Notice the heavy leaning on the Book of Hebrews, for instance, for the con to work.
An online poll of ex-Mormons found that a majority of ex-Mormons do not self-identify as a member of another faith tradition, choosing to describe themselves as agnostic, atheist or simply ex-Mormon. Some can also become apatheist. A Pew Research report corroborated this, finding in 2015 that 36% of those born Mormon left the religion, with 21% of born Mormons (58% of ex-Mormons) now unaffiliated, 6% evangelical Protestant, and 9% converting to other Protestant, Catholic, or a non-Christian faith.[19] Others either retained belief in God but not in organized religion or became adherents of other faiths.[7] Among ex-Mormons with no current religious preference, 36 percent continued the practice of prayer often or daily.[13] Ex-Mormon attitudes toward Mormons and Mormonism vary widely. Some ex-Mormons actively proselytize against Mormonism, while some provide only support to others leaving the religion. Other ex-Mormons prefer to avoid the subject entirely, while still others may try to encourage healthy dialogue between adherents of their new faiths and active Mormons. Attitudes of ex-Mormons also differ regarding their church membership. Some formally resign, which the LDS Church refers to as "name removal", while others simply stop attending church services.
