This document exposes
one of the most diabolical misrepresentations of Ellen G. White that I have
ever seen in my 70 years! Art Abbott makes the following statement on his
Website
Early this morning
while studying I found an astonishing sentence. Here it is.
“Sister White is not
the originator of these books.”
Review & Herald, January 20, 1903.
The article is titled, “An Open
Letter From Mrs. E. G. White to All Who Love the Blessed Hope.”
I immediately called
Verne Bates and told him. He then reported it first thing on his church phone
conference call, as he had never read it before.
The article discusses the books, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” “Patriarchs
and Prophets,” “Great Controversy,” and “Desire of Ages,” and goes on to state in one sentence, “Sister White is not the originator of
these books.”
No doubt a thousand
explanations exist for this, but we think it is pretty accurate!! No true prophet ever will contradict
the Bible.
These books were created by Willie and his team.
Never stop proving
all things
Ron responds: There are not
a thousand explanations! There is ONE EXPLANATION! Art takes the comment
totally out of context! The person Art sent his comment to is
a theology professor with his doctorate. No person with a third grade education
would take a sentence out of a paragraph and interpret it totally out of
context with the very next sentence, but that is what Art Abbott has done!
Art Abbott and Vern Bates
would have you believe that Ellen White was a false prophet concerning Kellogg
and that God could preserve Scripture for thousands of years, but He couldn’t
preserve Ellen White’s writings, the gift of prophecy for even a century and a
half! Preposterous! Blasphemy!
I have the entire set of
the Review and Herald articles and I can verify that the following article is just as it appears
in the originals and at the White Estate writings of Ellen G. White. Here is
the full context, the entire article, which Art Abbott totally misrepresents on
his Website above. No SDA leader has ever made as evil a misrepresentation of a
direct Ellen G. White statement as does one Art Abbott. Ellen White said that
those who apostatize will exhibit a lack of integrity, and I have never seen
any more of a lack of integrity than Art Abbott exhibits in his
misrepresentation of Ellen White’s own pen written statement. I will highlight
it in the full article below. How any man could be so satanically devious and
so blatantly, is beyond me! This is almost incredible! In light of such a
blatant exhibition of obvious willful deception, it is one of the best
endorsements Art Abbott can give me to call me a false prophet on his Website.
This proof will disclose to all who the false prophet really is!

Ellen G. White
Dear Brethren and
Sisters,
“The new year is just
before us, and plans should be laid for earnest, persevering effort in the
Master’s service. There is much to be done to advance the work of God. I have
been instructed that the canvassing work is to be revived, and that it is to be
carried forward with increasing success. It is the Lord’s work, and a blessing
will attend those who engage in it with earnestness and diligence. {RH January
20, 1903, Art. B, par. 4}
I thank my Heavenly
Father for the interest that my brethren and sisters have taken in the
circulation of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” By the sale of this book great good
has been accomplished, and the work should be continued. But the efforts of our
people should not be confined to this one book. The work of the Lord includes
more than one line of service. “Christ’s Object Lessons” is to live and do
its appointed work, but not all the thought and effort of God’s
people are to be given to its circulation. The larger books,
“Patriarchs and Prophets,” “Great Controversy,” and “Desire of Ages,” should be
sold everywhere. These books contain truth for this time,—truth that is to be
proclaimed in all parts of the world. Nothing is to hinder their sale.
{RH January 20, 1903, Art. B, par. 5}
The effort to
circulate “Christ’s Object Lessons” has demonstrated what can be done in the
canvassing field. This effort is a never-to-be-forgotten lesson on how to
canvass in the prayerful, trustful way that brings success. {RH January 20,
1903, Art. B, par. 6}
Many more of our
larger books might have been sold if church members had been awake to the
importance of the truths these books contain, and had realized their
responsibility to circulate them. My brethren and sisters, will you not now
make an effort to circulate these books? and will you not bring into this
effort the enthusiasm that you brought into the effort to sell “Christ’s Object
Lessons”? In selling this book many have learned how to handle the larger
books. They have obtained an experience that has prepared them to enter the
canvassing field. {RH January 20, 1903, Art. B, par. 7}
Sister White is not the originator of these books. They contain
the instruction that during her life-work God has been giving her.
They contain the precious, comforting light that God has graciously given his
servant to be given to the world. From their pages this light is to shine into
the hearts of men and women, leading them to the Saviour. The Lord has declared
that these books are to be scattered throughout the world. There is in them
truth which to the receiver is a savor of life unto life. They are silent
witnesses for God. In the past they have been the means in his hands of
convicting and converting many souls. Many have read them with eager
expectation, and, by reading them, have been led to see the efficacy of
Christ’s atonement, and to trust in its power. They have been led to commit the
keeping of their souls to their Creator, waiting and hoping for the coming of
the Saviour to take his loved ones to their eternal home. In the future, these
books are to make the gospel plain to many others, revealing to them the way of
salvation. {RH January 20, 1903, Art. B, par. 8}
The Lord has sent his
people much instruction, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little,
and there a little. Little heed is given to the Bible, and the Lord has given a
lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light. O, how much good would
be accomplished if the books containing this light were read with a
determination to carry out the principles they contain! There would be a
thousandfold greater vigilance, a thousandfold more self-denial and resolute
effort. And many more would now be rejoicing in the light of present truth. {RH
January 20, 1903, Art. B, par. 9}
My brethren and
sisters, work earnestly to circulate these books. Put your hearts into this
work, and the blessing of God will be with you. Go forth in faith, praying that
God will prepare hearts to receive the light. Be pleasant and courteous. Show
by a consistent course that you are true Christians. Walk and work in the light
of heaven, and your path will be as the path of the just, shining more and more
unto the perfect day. {RH January 20, 1903, Art. B, par. 10}
Take the books to
business men, to teachers of the gospel, whose minds have not been called to
the special truths for this time. The message is to be given “in the
highways,”—to men who take an active part in the world’s work, to the teachers
and leaders of the people. Thousands can be reached in the most simple, humble
way. The most intellectual, those who are looked upon as the world’s most
gifted men and women, are often refreshed by the simple words of one who loves
God, and who can speak of that love as naturally as the worldling speaks of the
things that interest him most deeply. Often the words well prepared and studied
have but little influence. But the true, honest expression of a son or daughter
of God, spoken in natural simplicity, has power to open the door to hearts that
have long been closed against Christ and his love. {RH January 20, 1903, Art.
B, par. 11}
Let no one think that
he is at liberty to fold his hands and do nothing. That any one can be saved in
indolence and inactivity is an utter impossibility. Think of what Christ
accomplished during his earthly ministry. How earnest, how untiring, were his
efforts! He allowed nothing to turn him aside from the work given him. Are we
following in his footsteps? He gave up all to carry out God’s plan of mercy for
the fallen race. In the fulfillment of the purpose of heaven, he became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. He had had no communion with
sin, had known nothing of it; but he came to this world, and took upon his
sinless soul the guilt of sinful man, that sinners might stand justified before
God. He grappled with temptation, overcoming in our behalf. The Son of God,
pure and unsullied, bore the penalty of transgression, and received the stroke
of death that brought deliverance to the race.” {RH January 20, 1903, Art. B,
par. 12} End of E.G. White article.
