The Theology of Ellen G. White, 1975
In 1975 Robert A. McCurdy and Robert D. Brinsmead collaborated on a document illustrating the parallel relationship of the teachings of Ellen G. White with the key themes of Systematic Theology and historic Protestantism. Since that time, additional releases of Ellen White writings by the Ellen G. White Estate have provided more insights into Ellen White's beliefs not available to McCurdy and Brinsmead. James Ayars has compiled these, edited, revised, and expanded this document into a formal dissertation format for further research.
Ellen G. White and Subordination Within the Trinity
Andrews University Seminary Student Journal, 2018
The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been engaged in a debate about the role of women in ministry, especially as it pertains to ordination. Some involved in this debate have used the doctrine of the Trinity to support their understanding of the different gender roles. In particular, opponents of women’s ordination frequently argue that Jesus was subordinate to the Father, and that the relationship between Jesus and the Father serves as a model of the subordination of women to men. Many who make this argument have turned to the writings of Ellen White and have attempted to support their view of subordination within the Trinity from her writings. This paper argues, however, that Ellen White understood her role as being to confirm doctrines that have been established through study of the Bible— meaning that subordination within the Trinity, if it exists, should be established from the Bible, not White’s writings. Secondly, this paper argues that White herself did not actually hold a su...
A Sketch of the Christian Experience and Views of Ellen G. White and Supplement, 2022
This document, which has newly been updated, provides the latest research on the fascinating background behind Ellen White's first book, A SKETCH OF THE EXPERIENCES AND VIEWS OF ELLEN G. WHITE, which was published in 1851. Her first book tells her early history and describes her early visions, or “views.” In 1854, her husband James published a supplement to the first book, SUPPLEMENT TO THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE AND VIEWS OF ELLEN G. WHITE, which contained explanations about issues in the first book and more vision materials. Much of the content of the two books was drawn from earlier articles. This document marks the books for their various parts and the scriptures used in them. It has colorful illustrations and a table of all the visions mentioned in the 1851 and 1854 books, as well as an index. Because the book EARLY WRITINGS contains an edited version of these two books, together with SPIRITUAL GIFTS, volume 1, which overlapped some of the earlier two books, there is a second table in this document that lists the duplication between EXPERIENCE AND VIEWS and SUPPLEMENT and SPIRITUAL GIFTS, volume 1. The latest update (3/14/2022) includes marginal designations for the visions and James White's letters to THE DAY-STAR, which relate to early Adventist beliefs, indexing for the additional notes in the document, and enhanced photographs of Ellen White, her sister, Sarah, and Annie R. Smith, and William Ellis Foy's published visions, with notes.
Ellen G. White’s Prophecy According to Catholic Church View
2020
The term "sect" is familiar to all religious communities. This term is known not only in Islam but also in Christianity, namely Advent (Seventh-day Adventist Church). A church that keeps the Sabbath day holy was pioneered by a woman named Ellen G. White. Its doctrine and teachings are believed to be a vision from God in conflict with his prophecies, because the prophecies taught contradict the doctrine of the Catholic papacy. This research is library research (library research), using several methods including descriptive methods and critical analysis methods. This study found that Ellen G. White's prophecy is a vision from God according to Adventists. But not so with Catholics, they are aggressively looking for evidence and accusing Ellen White of being a false prophet. His claims about visions begin with great experiences in childhood. Conjecture after conjecture emerged from various sects, including the Catholic Church. Some scientists claim that his vision was a mi...
ORDINATION IN THE WRITINGS OF ELLEN G. WHITE
Estrategias para el Cumplimiento de la Misión 20, no. 1 (2022): 5-27, 2022
Ordination in the Writings of Ellen G. White. Among Seventh-day Adventists, Ellen G. White is believed to possess the gift of prophecy, and her writings have served in organizing as well as nurturing the Church. This article is an inquiry into the concept of ordination as it is presented in her writings. The following five questions guide the research: (1) What is ordination? (2) Why is it needed? (3) How is it performed? (4) When is it appropriate to ordain a person? and (5) Who should be ordained? A deeper understanding of her writings on the topic of ordination enables the church to avoid majoring in minors and pay the needed attention to its mission.
Ellen White and Subordination Within the Trinity
2018
The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been engaged in a debate about the role of women in ministry, especially as it concerns ordination. While engaging in this debate, some have used the doctrine of Trinity to support their understanding of the different roles in gender. Specifically, the subordination of Jesus to the Father as evidence of a correlation with the subordination of women to men. In order to find support for the way some believe ministry should be practiced, they have turned to the writings of Ellen White. They have attempted to support a subordinationism within the Trinity with her writings. When analyzing her writings, one needs to take into account her confirmatory role as it pertains to doctrines, including the doctrine of the Trinity. Her earlier statements which have been used as evidence of subordinationism can also be read in an equalitarianism position. Therefore, they are too obscure to be used as evidence for either side. However, after the doctrine of the Tr...
Мultiversum. Philosophical Almanac, 2013
The origin and development of the Adventist Church was based on eschatological interpretations of the apocalyptic books of the Bible. Ellen White, one of the co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, played a prominent role in the interpretation of prophetic texts. In this article, I highlight her interpretation of one of the most controversial passages in the book of Revelation – the thirteenth chapter – in which John writes about the Antichrist. I show that Ellen White took a historical approach to the interpretation of apocalyptic prophecies. White interpreted the beast from the sea as a symbol of the papacy, and the beast from the earth as a symbol of Protestant America. White argued that the image of the beast would be a separate authority, a union of church and state in the United States, a kind of counterpart to the papacy. The restoration of the power of the papacy and its alliance with Protestantism will lead to the loss of religious freedom and persecution. The article highlights that the mark of the beast, according to Ellen White, symbolizes the celebration of Sunday – a false and idolatrous Sabbath. This spiritual sign will be activated in a future eschatological spiritual battle that will take place in the matter of worship and faithfulness to God’s commandments. White wrote about Sunday laws in the historical context of the United States, where they were hotly debated and even passed in some states. I argue that White was not limited by historical context, but was making a statement about future Sunday observance legislation on a worldwide scale, with other countries following the US’s example. The article shows that Ellen White also interpreted the Antichrist individualistically, by indicating the personal appearance of the devil in the form of Jesus Christ at the end of time.
