A recent article on a leading liberal Adventist website makes the thoughtful reader wonder whether those so long inclined to criticize Ellen White’s eschatological worldview might soon be persuaded that her predictions are quite credible after all.

A new and growing urban legend in contemporary Adventism is the claim that the doctrinal authority of the Ellen G. White writings was not accepted by Ellen White herself while she lived, but was instead fabricated after her death by so-called “fundamentalists” in the church.  Is this correct?

Students can’t be blamed for protesting the enforcement of Biblical standards if they haven’t been led to recognize and understand the role these standards play in the Biblical worldview and in God’s eternal purpose for His church and for humanity.

Do the inspired writings uphold this distinction?
