Cancer Caused by Dormant Oncogenes In 1864 Ellen G. White wrote of something that could lie dormant in the body
one's whole life, but which through some sort of irritation, could become actively
cancerous. In 1976 two scientists established that dormant oncogenes in cells
can cause cancer if they become activated through environmental factors or viruses. |

| 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

| "But how little of the result of the
world's noblest work is in this life manifest to the doer!
How many toil unselfishly and unweariedly for those who
pass beyond their reach and knowledge! Parents and
teachers lie down in their last sleep, their lifework seeming
to have been wrought in vain; they know not that
their faithfulness has unsealed springs of blessing that
can never cease to flow; only by faith they see the children
they have trained become a benediction and an inspiration
to their fellow men, and the influence repeat itself a
thousandfold." | | (Education 305, 306) |

sabbath. In February 2005, a Presbyterian minister named John MacLeod made quite a few waves by
suggesting that the horrific tsunami of December 26, 2004, was a judgment of God against Sunday breaking. |
