 "Contradiction #23: Deity Did Not Die" A critic thinks that Ellen White contradicted both herself and the Bible
when she wrote, in harmony with most Trinitarians, that Christ's human nature, not His divine
nature, died on Calvary. But we did find it a bit odd that this critic's web site on another page appears to
endorse this very view. |

The Jews Expected a Divine Messiah In describing the Apostle Paul's original objection to Christianity, Ellen White wrote that
he just couldn't accept the idea that the Messiah would be a mere man. Could it really be true that
first-century Jews believed that the Messiah wuld be divine? Statements by four different
Bible characters seem to confirm this view. |

| "A mere profession of godliness is worthless. It is he that abideth in
Christ that is a Christian. For 'every man that hath this hope in him
purifieth himself, even as he is pure.' In every clime, in every nation, our
youth should cooperate with God. The only way a person can be pure is to
become like-minded with God. How can we know God?—By studying his word. 'And
this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast sent.'" | | (Youth's Instructor 2/15/1894) |

be warned against such a course by a timely vision.
Check and see if the results of their change of plans
matched the prediction of the vision. |

| Marriage and Subsequent Labors I have already spoken of my acquaintance
with Elder Bates. I found him to be a true Christian gentleman,
courteous and kind. . . . The first time he heard me speak, he manifested
deep interest. After I had ceased speaking, he arose and said:
"I am a doubting Thomas. I do not believe in visions." [more] |
