 Plagiarized Pictures? The allegation has been made that Mrs. White stole pictures
from a book by Wylie to use in an 1886 edition of one of her own books, and
that she even replaced the name of the original artist with that of "Pacific Press."

"The Passion of the Christ" With all the publicity about Mel Gibson's new movie, it's interesting to note
a few things Ellen White had to say about contemplating the closing scenes of Christ's life.

in his own spiritual life. |

| Her Beliefs |
Eschatology: The Millennium Ellen White's eschatology was most definitely pre-millennial. She believed in a
millennium composed of a literal 1000 years, immediately preceded by a literal second coming
of Christ. However, her view of what takes place during the millennium was somewhat
different from that of many evangelicals. See if you think her views were biblical or not. |

| "There are conscientious souls that trust
partly to God and partly to themselves. They do not look to
God, to be kept by His power, but depend upon watchfulness
against temptation and the performance of certain duties for
acceptance with Him. There are no victories in this kind of
faith. Such persons toil to no purpose; their souls are in
continual bondage, and they find no rest until their burdens are
laid at the feet of Jesus." | | (Faith and Works 38) |
