DAMNING CONFESSIONS Written by Abdullah Cuenca, August 26, 2010
DAMNING CONFESSIONS: Mrs. Ellen G. White, a "prophetess" of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, in her Bible commentary Vol. 1, page 14, has this confession to make about the fallibility of the "Holy Bible". "THE BIBLE WE READ TODAY IS THE WORK OF MANY COPYISTS WHO HAVE IN MOST INSATANCES DONE THEIR WORK WITH MARVELLOUS ACCURACY. BUT COPYIST HAVE NOT BEEN INFALLIABLE, ANG GOD MOST EVIDENTLY HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO PRESERVE THEM ALTOGETER FROM ERROR IN TRANSCRIBING.” In the following pages of her commentary, Mrs. White testifies further: “I SAW THAT GOD HAD ESPECIALLY GUARDED THE BIBLE.” (from what?) “YET WHEN COPIES OF IT WERE FEW, LEARNED MEN HAD IN SOME INSTANCES CHANGED THE WORDS, THINKING THAT THEY WERE MAKING IT PLAIN, WHEN IN REALITY THEY WERE MYSTIFYING THAT WHICH WAS PLAIN, BY CAUSING IT TO LEAN TO THEIR ESTABLISHED VIEWS, WHICH WERE GOVERNED BY TRADITION.”

searching the scriptures Written by Colin Bowater, August 22, 2009
From my perspective, there are 2 types of believers; those that search the scriptures to find a way around the commandments of God, and those that search for ways to obey them. Which type of those 2 would enter Heaven??
