I was listening to the sermon last Sabbath and the pastor was mentioning Sister White and used Rev 12:17 and 19:10 to prove that she was the Spirit of Prophecy, and since she is, then therefore our church is the remnant church. I don't disagree that we have the remnant message, or that Mrs. White had prophetic visions, but what hit me when I read these verses is this,: the spirit of prophecy, the very heart of prophecy, the focus and destination and ultimate purpose of prophecy, not the letter of- but the spirit of, is the testimony of Jesus, the written Word and spoken Word about the Living Word. Does anyone understand this concept? So why do we call sister white the SOP?

Are you trying to convince us to eat pork? Where will this madness end? God told the Jews pork is unclean if you eat unclean food you introduce uncleanness into your body and leave yourself open for the Devil to possess you, as you clearly are.
So we see you thumbing your nose at God saying I eat unclean food, I disregard Your Commandments, I do whatever I want. And you are saying that God is blessing you? God is not mocked unpunished.
And the health laws was given ever before there was a Jew. Some people say the Law of unclean meats is only for the Jews, and I say is the anatomy of a Jew different from ours?
Quite, correct Jason the only difference with the stomach of the Jew and us is that ours may be a bit bigger. Especially James so he can fit some more pork in there.
Some virus and parasites that are common to pigs and can be transmitted to humans.
Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by roundworms of the Trichinella type. During the initial infection, invasion of the intestines can result in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Migration of larvae to muscle, which occurs about a week after being infected, can cause swelling of the face, inflammation of the whites of the eyes, fever, muscle pains, and a rash. Minor infection may be without symptoms. Complications may include inflammation of heart muscle, central nervous system involvement, and inflammation of the lungs. After being eaten the larvae are released from their cysts in the stomach. They then invade the wall of the small intestine, where they develop into adult worms. After one week, the females release new larvae that migrate to voluntarily controlled muscles where they form cysts. The diagnosis is usually based on symptoms and confirmed by finding specific antibodies in the blood or larvae on tissue biopsy.
Tape worm known as Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms of the flatworm (Platyhelminthes) phylum. They are informally referred to as cestodes. The best-known species are commonly called tapeworms. All cestodes are parasitic and their life histories vary, but typically they live in the digestive tracts of vertebrates as adults, and often in the bodies of other species of animals as juveniles. Over a thousand species have been described, and all vertebrate species may be parasitised by at least one species of tapeworm. Humans are subject to infection by several species of tapeworms if they eat undercooked meat such as pork (Taenia solium), beef (T. saginata), and fish (Diphyllobothrium spp.), or if they live in, or eat food prepared in, conditions of poor hygiene (Hymenolepis or Echinococcus species). Tapeworm parasites of vertebrates have a long history: recognizable clusters of cestode eggs, one with a developing larva, have been discovered in fossil feces (coprolites) of a shark dating to the mid- to late Permian, some 270 million years ago.
Swine influenza is an infection caused by any one of several types of swine influenza viruses. Swine influenza virus (SIV) or swine-origin influenza virus (S-OIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs. The Swine flu was initially seen in humans in Mexico in 2009, where the strain of the particular virus was a mixture from 3 types of strains. Six of the genes are very similar to the H1N2 influenza virus that was found in pigs around 2000. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection.
Lungworms are parasitic nematode worms of the order Strongylida that infest the lungs of vertebrates. The name is used for a variety of different groups of nematodes, some of which also have other common names; what they have in common is that they migrate to their hosts' lungs or respiratory tracts, and cause bronchitis or pneumonia. The lungworm will gradually damage the airways or lung tissue by inciting an inflammatory reaction inside the tissue. Ultimately, the parasites survive and reproduce in the respiratory tissues. The category is thus more a descriptive than a precisely taxonomic one. These include Metastrongylus elongatus (apri), found in pigs several of them involve slugs or snails as intermediate hosts, where the habit of sniffing at slug trails, or even licking them, causes the parasite egg to enter the pigs respiratory tract.
Balantidiasis The first study to generate balantidiasis in humans was undertaken by Cassagrandi and Barnagallo in 1896. The first case of balantidiasis in the Philippines, where it is the most common, was reported in 1904. Currently, Balantidium coli is distributed worldwide. Pigs are a major reservoir of the parasite, and infection of humans occurs more frequently in areas where pigs comingle with people. This includes places like the Philippines, as previously mentioned, but also includes countries such as Bolivia and Papua New Guinea. In a Japanese study that analyzed the fecal samples in 56 mammalian species, Balantidium coli was found to be present in all the wild boars tested (with wild boars and pigs being considered the same species).
There are more but these are the most common ones.

This is a strong statement, which would be hard to justify according to the word of God. If you mean SOP in regards to the entire body of Spiritual insight then yes, but in regards to only Ellen White then no.
"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right."
These words indicate that the existing scripture is sufficient for insight and salvation. Not adhereing to or accepting the traditions of Ellen White, are not outlined anywhere in the Word.

Elijah,
how can you defend the testimonies using the testimonies as proof for the testimonies?
Keith
if you would read the post you will see why, it is not a matter of defending its a matter of rebuking disbelievers!
However you are still using the testimonies to prove you shouldn't doubt the testimonies.
Yes Keith
So what you suggest? The Bible is not much use as no one believe what it says. To me She brings the point home very well. The other point is that that disbelievers does not take notice of anything from her or the bible anyway.
Elijah,
Why do you not believe what the bible says?
