| Her Beliefs |
Hell & Eternal Torment Ellen White most certainly believed in hell, but she also firmly believed in
John 3:16. For this reason and others, her understanding of hell was more like that of Isaac
Watts and seventeenth-century General Baptists than that of John Calvin. See what you
think of her views. |

| "The things we may so much desire to do may become a reality
after God has proved us in the school of experience, and among our
greatest blessings may be counted the thing we were not privileged to
do, that would have barred the way from doing the very things best
calculated to prepare us for a higher work. The plain, sober duties of
real life were essential to prevent the fruitless striving to do things
that we were not fitted to do. Our devised plans often fail that God's
plans for us may be a complete success. Oh, it is in the future life we
shall see the tangles and mysteries of life, that have so annoyed and
disappointed our fond hopes, explained. We will see that the prayers
and hopes for certain things which have been withheld have been
among our greatest blessings." | | (Our High Calling 318) |

| About Her Visions |
No Breathing for 30 Minutes John Loughborough describes the first vision of Ellen White that
he ever witnessed, and how she did not breathe for about 30 minutes during it.
He also relates how at that time Oswald Stowell was healed of pleurisy. |
