Now, someone accused me of quoting Ellen White and said I was a 7th-day Adventist. I'll answer that now.
To date I haven't quoted her, but now I will. Why? She has some good things to say (as do many spiritual folks), but there's some things where I can't agree with her. I guess we can't agree on everything.
Now, my background: My family roots, as far as denominations, are SDA and Methodist. I left the local SDA church in 1997 because to me they were teaching a subtle form of legalism. Like Luther and the Catholic church, I tried to reform my local SDA church, but they wouldn't listen. So I dusted off shoes and left.
So yes, I know of Ellen White. And here's some of her better statements:
"Jesus stands in the holy of holies, now to appear in the presence of God for us. There he ceases not to present his people moment by moment, complete in himself.....We are complete in him, accepted in the Beloved, only as we abide in him by faith."
"Perfection through our own good works we can never attain. The soul who sees Jesus by faith, repudiates his own righteousness. He sees himself as incomplete, his repentance insufficient, his strongest faith but feebleness, his most costly sacrifice as meager, and he sinks in humility at the foot of the cross. But a voice speaks to him from the oracles of God's word. In amazement he hears the message, "Ye are complete in him". Now all is at rest in his soul. No longer must he strive to find some worthiness in himself, some meritorious deed by which to gain the favor of God."
