According to Ellen White's writings, the best way to cook bacon is actually not to cook or eat it at all. She consistently advises against the use of flesh meats (which includes bacon), lard, and grease in food preparation. Instead, she recommends preparing wholesome, plant-based foods in a simple and natural way, avoiding all animal products and heavy fats. The emphasis is on using grains, fruits, and vegetables, and keeping food free from grease and flesh meats. References: - White, E. G. (1885).

Ellen White’s writings strongly associate the papacy (the system of the Roman Catholic Church, led by the pope) with the prophetic symbols of the “antichrist,” “man of sin,” and “beast” in the Bible, especially in the books of Daniel and Revelation. She references Martin Luther’s statement that “the pope is antichrist,” identifies the papal power as the “beast” of Revelation 13:1-10, and equates the papacy with the “man of sin” in 2 Thessalonians 2 and the “little horn” in Daniel 7:25. However, it is important to note that Ellen White’s identification is with the papal system as a prophetic power, not with individual popes as persons. Her focus is on the institution and its role in prophecy, not on personal condemnation. References: - “I know now that the pope is antichrist, and that his throne is that of Satan himself.” (The Great Controversy, 141.3; Spirit of Prophecy, 117.3; The Great Controversy 1888, 141.2) - “The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is understood to refer to the papal power. This has been the general opinion of Protestants.” (Spirit of Prophecy, 502.1) - “The special characteristic of the beast, and therefore of his image, is the breaking of God's commandments. Says Daniel, of the little horn, the papacy: ‘He shall think to change times and the law.’ Daniel 7:25, R.V. And Paul styled the same power the ‘man of sin,’ who was to exalt himself above God.” (The Great Controversy, 446.1; The Great Controversy 1888, 446.1) - “The papacy is just what prophecy declared that she would be, the apostasy of the latter times.” (The Great Controversy, 571.2) - “In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church.” (The Great Controversy, 578.3; The Great Controversy 1888, 578.3)

Ellen White’s writings indicate that both meat and sugar have negative health effects, but she specifically states that “sugar, when largely used, is more injurious than meat.” She warns that large quantities of sugar clog the system, irritate the digestive organs, and can cause disease. However, she also strongly counsels against eating meat, especially because of disease in animals and the negative effects on physical, mental, and moral health. Key points from her writings: - “Sugar, when largely used, is more injurious than meat.” (Testimonies for the Church 2:370) - “The fact that meat is largely diseased should lead us to make strenuous efforts to discontinue its use entirely.... It will be hard for some to do this, as hard as for the rum drinker to forsake his dram; but they will be better for the change.” (Unpublished Testimonies, November 9, 1896) - “Cancers, tumors, and pulmonary diseases are largely caused by meat eating.” (Testimonies for the Church 9:159) - “Flesh foods... are contrary to the best development of the physical, mental, and moral powers.” (Testimonies for the Church 7:134.6) In summary: Both meat and sugar are discouraged, but excessive sugar is described as even more harmful than meat. The ideal, according to Ellen White, is to avoid both and focus on a diet of fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables.

Ellen White’s writings affirm the unity and distinctness of the Godhead, often referred to as “three in one.” She describes God as a personal being, revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, who is “the outshining of the Father's glory, and the express image of His person” (Hebrews 1:3). Christ is declared to be “one with the eternal Father—one in nature, in character, in purpose” (GC 493.1; PP 34.1). The Holy Spirit is also referenced as the sanctifying presence in the believer’s life. Key points from her writings: - God is a personal being, not just an all-pervading principle (Ed 131.5). - Jesus is the express image of the Father and is one with Him in nature, character, and purpose (GC 493.1; PP 34.1). - Christ and the Father are distinct, yet united: “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30; MH 419.2; 8T 265.3). - The Holy Spirit is involved in sanctification and the believer’s association with God (SpTEd 220.1). Ellen White does not use the term “Trinity” in the modern sense, but her writings clearly support the concept of the Godhead as three distinct, co-operating persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—united in purpose and divinity.
