Vegetarian

The available sources highlight several key points about vegetarianism from Ellen White's writings: - Some individuals, after adopting a vegetarian diet, return to eating flesh meat. This is considered unwise and is seen as a lack of knowledge about how to properly replace meat in the diet (7T 126.3; CD 469.2). - Flesh foods are described as harmful to physical health, and it is advised to learn to live without them. Those who have access to a vegetarian diet but choose not to follow it may also become careless about other spiritual matters (CD 402). - Vegetarian restaurants were established to promote better health and to introduce people to God's message. The food served in these establishments contained no meat, poultry, or animal products, yet was still enjoyable (7T 54.4). - Ellen White's manuscripts mention the establishment of vegetarian restaurants, treatment rooms, and cooking schools to teach people how to prepare wholesome food and to educate them on the need to give up tea, coffee, and flesh meat (7MR 398.1). - There is also mention of individuals who believe they cannot live without flesh meat, and how their habits can influence others (7MR 348.2). Overall, these sources emphasize the health and spiritual benefits of a vegetarian diet, the importance of learning proper food preparation, and the role of vegetarian establishments in health reform and outreach.

Anything on studying error in particular?

The available sources emphasize several important principles about studying error: - When someone goes astray, it is crucial to recognize and address the root causes of their errors. This process involves becoming a learner, identifying where the problem lies, repenting, and starting again from a correct perspective. Humility and a willingness to learn are essential in this process. - Overcoming mistakes, faults, or difficulties is seen as a stepping-stone to greater achievements. These experiences are valuable learning opportunities, especially for children and youth. - When a mistake is made, it is important to take responsibility, repair any damage, and learn from the experience. By studying and practicing, one can avoid repeating the same errors and fulfill their responsibilities more effectively. These points highlight the value of recognizing, studying, and learning from errors, taking responsibility, and using mistakes as opportunities for personal growth and improvement.

Can you give me more quotes like that?

Here are additional quotes from the available sources about studying error, learning from mistakes, and overcoming error: 1. Let children and youth be taught that every mistake, fault, or difficulty they overcome becomes a stepping-stone to better and higher things. Through such experiences, those who have made life worth living have achieved success. (Ed 296.1; CT 60.3) 2. If a workman makes a failure, he should feel responsible to repair the damages himself and not let others suffer loss through his carelessness. He should continue to bear responsibility, try again, and avoid former mistakes. In this way, he learns to take the care that is always required, fulfilling his duty. (3T 12.2) 3. There are errors at the very foundation of one's experience that must be rooted out. One must become a learner, discern where the difficulty lies, repent, and begin to work from a correct standpoint. This involves putting away pride and learning important lessons. (4T 382.1) 4. Many underestimate the evil of error in themselves while recognizing it in others. Some are unaware of their own traits that need to be changed, and when reproved, may feel misjudged. (TSS 81.2) 5. It is always humiliating to have one's errors pointed out, and no one should make the experience more bitter by unnecessary censure. Reproach does not reclaim anyone, but a gentle, winning spirit may save the erring and cover many faults. (MH 166.4) 6. If you make a mistake, turn your defeat into victory. Lessons from God, if well learned, will bring help in due time. Trust, hope, and believe, and you will be more than conquerors. (7T 244.4) 7. Habits of negligence should be firmly overcome. Many excuse their errors by pleading forgetfulness, but everyone should discipline their minds to be retentive. It is a sin to forget or be negligent. (COL 358.4) 8. To gain proper self-knowledge, it is necessary to examine oneself, discover defects, and seek cleansing. Many refuse to see or correct their errors, avoiding true self-knowledge. (4T 58.3) These quotes emphasize the value of recognizing, studying, and learning from errors, taking responsibility, and using mistakes as opportunities for growth and improvement.

where is the quote that we should rather die than commit sin

The quote you are referring to is found in Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, page 147.1: "Choose poverty, reproach, separation from friends, or any suffering rather than to defile the soul with sin. Death before dishonor or the transgression of God's law should be the motto of every Christian." This statement emphasizes the principle that it is better to suffer any loss, even death, than to commit sin or dishonor God. Reference: - Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p. 147.1 Annotation: Choose poverty, reproach, separation from friends, or any suffering rather than to defile the soul with sin. Death before dishonor or the transgression of God's law should be the motto of every Christian. (5T 147.1)

Can you give me another quote like that?

Here is another quote with a similar principle to "death before dishonor or the transgression of God's law": "Those who would be best prepared to sacrifice even life, if required, rather than place themselves in a position where they could not obey God, would have the least to say. They would make no boast. They would feel deeply and meditate much, and their earnest prayers would go up to heaven for wisdom to act and grace to endure." (Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 357.2) This statement emphasizes the willingness to sacrifice even life itself rather than be placed in a situation where obedience to God is compromised. Reference: - Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 357.2

Can you give me some more quotes like that?

Here are several more quotes that express the principle of choosing faithfulness to God, even at the cost of life, rather than sin or dishonor: 1. "Choose poverty, reproach, separation from friends, or any suffering rather than to defile the soul with sin. Death before dishonor or the transgression of God's law should be the motto of every Christian." (5T 147.1) 2. "Those who would be best prepared to sacrifice even life, if required, rather than place themselves in a position where they could not obey God, would have the least to say. They would make no boast. They would feel deeply and meditate much, and their earnest prayers would go up to heaven for wisdom to act and grace to endure." (1T 357.2) 3. "Even life itself should not be purchased with the price of falsehood. By a word or a nod the martyrs might have denied the truth and saved their lives. By consenting to cast a single grain of incense upon the idol altar they might have been saved from the rack, the scaffold, or the cross. But they refused to be false in word or deed, though life was the boon they would receive by so doing. Imprisonment, torture, and death, with a clear conscience, were welcomed by them, rather than deliverance on condition of deception, falsehood, and apostasy." (4T 336.2) 4. "God has spoken, and He means that man shall obey. He does not inquire if it is convenient for him to do so... Man is to leave the error of his ways, to follow the example of Christ, to take up his cross and follow Him, denying self, and obeying God at any cost." (4T 250.4) 5. "Both worlds are before you. Which will you choose? Be wise and lay hold of eternal life. Swerve not from your integrity, however unpleasant your duties may appear in the present emergency. It may seem that you are about to make great sacrifices to preserve your purity of soul, but do not hesitate; press forward in the fear of God, and He will bless your efforts and recompense you a thousandfold." (4T 117.2) 6. "When he knows what the will of God is, he would not hesitate to do it should it cost him his life." (5T 131.2) 7. "I saw that some hardly know as yet what self-denial or sacrifice is, or what it is to suffer for the truth's sake. But none will enter heaven without making a sacrifice. ... Those who are willing to make any sacrifice for eternal life, will have it; and it will be worth suffering for, worth crucifying self for, and sacrificing every idol for." (1T 126.2) 8. "To suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, for he esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt." (3T 89.4) These statements consistently emphasize the importance of unwavering loyalty to God, even if it means enduring suffering, loss, or death, rather than committing sin or dishonoring God.

Does the Shaking continue during the Time of Trouble?

Yes, according to Ellen G. White's writings, the "shaking" among God's people is a process that begins before the Time of Trouble and continues as the final events unfold. It is closely connected to the "straight testimony" and the call to stand firmly for the truth. Ellen White states: - "The mighty shaking has commenced and will go on, and all will be shaken out who are not willing to take a bold and unyielding stand for the truth and to sacrifice for God and His cause." (Early Writings, p. 50.3) - "I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen, and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans... Some will not bear this straight testimony. They will rise up against it, and this will cause a shaking among God's people." (Early Writings, p. 270.2; Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 181.1) Regarding its relationship to the Time of Trouble: - The "commencement of the time of trouble" is described as a short period just before the plagues are poured out, while Christ is still in the Sanctuary (Early Writings, p. 85.3). During this time, the work of salvation is closing, and trouble is coming on the earth. - The shaking is described as already in progress before this period and is linked to the preparation of God's people for the final crisis. In summary: The shaking begins before the Time of Trouble and continues as the end-time events intensify, preparing God's people to stand during the most severe trials. It is an ongoing process, not limited to a single moment. References: - White, E. G. (1945). Early Writings.

The shaking is caused by the "straight testimony" and is an ongoing process: - "I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans...

The time of trouble is a distinct period, but the shaking prepares God's people for it: - "The commencement of the time of trouble... does not refer to the time when the plagues shall begin to be poured out; but to a short period just before they are poured out, while Christ is in the Sanctuary. At that time, while the work of salvation is closing, trouble will be coming on the earth..." (Early Writings, p. 85.3) Summary: The shaking is an ongoing process that begins before the time of trouble and continues as the final events unfold, preparing God's people to stand during the most severe trials.

en español por favor

Por supuesto. Aquí tienes la información en español, basada en los textos de Elena G. de White: 1. El sacudimiento es causado por el "testimonio directo" y es un proceso continuo: - “Pregunté el significado del sacudimiento que había visto y se me mostró que sería causado por el testimonio directo llamado por el consejo del Testigo Fiel a los Laodicenses... Algunos no soportarán este testimonio directo. Se levantarán contra él, y esto es lo que causará un sacudimiento entre el pueblo de Dios.” (Primeros Escritos, p. 270.2; Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 1, p. 181.1; Dones Espirituales, tomo 1, p. 184.3) 2. El sacudimiento ya está en progreso y continuará: - “El poderoso sacudimiento ha comenzado y continuará, y todos serán sacudidos fuera quienes no estén dispuestos a tomar una posición firme e inquebrantable por la verdad y a sacrificarse por Dios y su causa.” (Primeros Escritos, p. 50.3) 3. El tiempo de angustia es un período distinto, pero el sacudimiento prepara al pueblo de Dios para ese tiempo: - “El comienzo del tiempo de angustia... no se refiere al tiempo cuando las plagas comiencen a ser derramadas; sino a un corto período justo antes de que sean derramadas, mientras Cristo está en el Santuario. En ese tiempo, mientras la obra de salvación está concluyendo, vendrá angustia sobre la tierra...” (Primeros Escritos, p. 85.3) Resumen: El sacudimiento es un proceso continuo que comienza antes del tiempo de angustia y continúa mientras se desarrollan los eventos finales, preparando al pueblo de Dios para soportar las pruebas más severas. No se limita a un solo momento, sino que se intensifica a medida que se acerca el fin. Referencias: - White, E. G. (1945). Primeros Escritos, pp. 50.3, 85.3, 270.2. - White, E. G. (1948).

What does Revelation 14:11 mean?

There is no direct, detailed explanation of Revelation 14:11 in the available Ellen G. White books. However, based on the official White Estate position and her writings, Revelation 14:11 is understood as part of the third angel's message—a solemn warning against worshiping the beast and his image and receiving his mark. Ellen G. White presents this as a worldwide, urgent call to remain faithful to God and avoid false worship, emphasizing the consequences for those who reject God's truth. This message is intended to prepare people for the final judgment and the coming of Christ.

How would you treat your son if he was homosexual

According to available White Estate materials, there is no direct, documented counsel from Ellen G. White specifically addressing how to treat a son who is homosexual. The official White Estate position is that Ellen G. White consistently emphasized the importance of love, compassion, and redemptive care toward all individuals, regardless of their circumstances. She advocated for kindness, understanding, and a Christlike spirit in all family relationships, but did not provide specific guidance on this particular situation. For further clarity or official statements, it is recommended to consult the White Estate directly.

What do you think about social media?

According to available White Estate materials, there is no direct, documented counsel from Ellen G. White regarding social media, as it did not exist during her lifetime. The official White Estate position is that while Ellen G. White did not address social media specifically, her general principles emphasize the importance of using communication tools in ways that uplift, encourage, and reflect Christian values. For guidance on modern technologies, readers are encouraged to apply her counsel on wholesome communication, self-control, and positive influence to contemporary contexts.

How do you feel about jewelry

Ellen G. White’s writings address the topic of jewelry primarily in the context of Christian modesty, humility, and the influence of outward adornment on spiritual life. Here are some key points from her books: 1. **Emphasis on Inner Adornment**: She encourages believers to seek the “ornament that will never perish,” which is “the adorning of a meek and lowly spirit.” She contrasts this with the pursuit of external ornaments, urging that effort should be put into developing character and wisdom, which are “more precious than rubies” (4T 643.5). 2. **Plainness and Simplicity**: White counsels that “simple, plain, unpretending dress will be a recommendation” and that attempts to beautify the external are often seen as “proof of weak minds and proud hearts.” She suggests that modesty in dress and deportment is a way to let one’s light shine (3T 376.2). 3. **Biblical Counsel**: She references the apostle Paul’s instruction that women should “adorn themselves in modest apparel... not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but... with good works.” She states, “Here the Lord, through His apostle, speaks expressly against the wearing of gold” (4T 630.1, 4T 644.3). 4. **Personal Experience**: Ellen White shares that her joy was “dampened by this display of vanity” when she saw a church member wearing gold rings and showy earrings, suggesting that such adornment is inconsistent with the humility of Christ (1T 20.2; LS80 146.1). 5. **Spiritual Significance**: She teaches that those who cling to forbidden ornaments “cherish pride and vanity in the heart” and that true beauty comes from pleasing God rather than seeking attention (4T 644.3). **Summary**: Ellen G. White does not support the wearing of jewelry for display or adornment, associating it with pride and worldliness. She advocates for modesty, simplicity, and focusing on inner character rather than outward appearance. References: - White, E. G. (1948). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, p. 376.2; Vol. 4, pp. 630.1, 643.5, 644.3. - White, E. G. (1948). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 20.2. - White, E. G. (1915). Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, p. 146.1.

Do you think Jesus would dance?

There is no record in Ellen G. White’s writings that directly states Jesus danced. Her writings emphasize that Jesus was social, enjoyed innocent happiness, and brought joy to gatherings such as the wedding at Cana, but she also makes clear that He gave “no license to scenes of dissipation and revelry.” She writes: - “He gave no license to scenes of dissipation and revelry, yet innocent happiness was pleasing to him. A Jewish marriage was a solemn and impressive occasion, the pleasure and joy of which were not displeasing to the Son of Man.” (2SP 109.2) Ellen White also describes Jesus as expressing gladness through singing and praise, uplifting those around Him with His cheerful spirit (DA 73.3). In summary: Ellen G. White does not mention Jesus dancing, but she does portray Him as joyful, social, and uplifting, while avoiding frivolity or worldly amusements. His example was one of pure, innocent happiness and spiritual joy, not of participating in revelry or dances common to secular celebrations.

Health and diet guidance

Ellen White’s health and diet guidance centers on the principles of simplicity, balance, and practical adaptation. She recommends eating plain, wholesome foods—mainly fruits, grains, and vegetables—prepared simply and free from excess spice and grease. Meals should be nourishing, varied, and suited to individual needs, avoiding both extreme restriction and overindulgence. Moderation is key, with only a few kinds of simple food at each meal, and only enough to satisfy hunger. She also emphasizes that health reform should be adapted to circumstances, especially for those with limited resources, and that common sense should guide dietary choices, particularly for children. Ellen White cautions against extremes in diet and highlights the broader impact of dietary habits on both physical and moral well-being. If you would like more specific guidance or direct quotations on a particular aspect of health and diet, please let me know! References: - White, E. G. (1909).

Health and diet guidance

Ellen White’s health and diet guidance emphasizes the following key principles: 1. Simplicity and Wholesomeness: Eat plain, simple, and wholesome foods. Avoid stimulants and harmful items. Fruits, grains, and vegetables—prepared simply and free from spice and grease, with milk and cream—are considered the most healthful. Food should be thoroughly cooked, neatly prepared, and appetizing. 2. Nutrition and Variety: Diet should provide proper nourishment. Avoid overly restrictive or monotonous diets, as these can harm health. Recognize that not everyone can eat the same foods; what is wholesome for one may not be for another. 3. Moderation and Temperance: Be temperate in eating, especially if you have important responsibilities. Avoid rich and luxurious foods. At each meal, limit yourself to two or three kinds of simple food, and eat only enough to satisfy hunger. 4. Adaptation to Circumstances: Health reform should not be forced in its most extreme form where circumstances make it impractical. Use the most nourishing food available, especially for the poor. 5. Practical Application: Regularly review your dietary habits and consider the effects. Do not neglect or abuse your body. Mothers should use common sense in feeding children, as many health issues are caused by dietary errors. 6. Avoiding Extremes: Ellen White warned against both self-indulgence and extreme dietary restrictions. 7. Broader Impact: Poor eating habits and unhealthful foods contribute to intemperance, crime, and misery. Diet affects both physical and moral health. In summary, Ellen White’s guidance encourages a balanced, simple, and nourishing diet, tailored to individual needs and circumstances, and cautions against both excess and extreme restriction. She advocates for practical, common-sense approaches and highlights the importance of health reform for both physical and spiritual well-being. References: - White, E. G. (1909).

What are the most important aspects of marriage?

According to Ellen White's writings, the most important aspects of marriage include: 1. **Mutual Love and Forbearance**: Marriage should be marked by mutual love, encouragement, and patience. Each partner should strive to make the other happy, continuing the kindness and attentiveness shown at the beginning of the relationship. (MH 360.2) 2. **Careful Consideration and Divine Guidance**: The decision to marry should be made thoughtfully, with prayer and counsel from experienced individuals. Marriage is a lifelong commitment and should not be entered into hastily. (CE 228.3; PP 175.4) 3. **Character and Compatibility**: Before marriage, individuals should carefully observe the character and habits of their prospective spouse. Every step should be taken with modesty, sincerity, and a desire to honor God. (MH 359.1) 4. **Individuality and Relationship with God**: Each partner should maintain their individuality and personal relationship with God. Making Christ central in the marriage strengthens the love between spouses. (MH 361.3) 5. **Preparation and Maturity**: Marriage should not be entered into prematurely. Both individuals should be mature and prepared for its responsibilities, and there should not be a significant disparity in age. (MH 358.1-2) 6. **Ongoing Growth and Unity**: True unity in marriage develops over time. The real union is the work of the years following the wedding, as couples grow together. (MH 359.5) 7. **Sacredness and Responsibility**: Marriage is a sacred institution, symbolizing the union between Christ and His church. It should be entered into with reverence, recognizing its impact on family, society, and spiritual life. (7T 46.3; MH 356.4) 8. **Practical Kindness and Thoughtfulness**: Small acts of kindness, encouragement, and courtesy are vital to marital happiness. Each partner should avoid hurting the other's feelings and be thoughtful in both small and large matters. (SA 120.2) 9. **Consideration for Offspring and Society**: Couples should consider the physical, mental, and moral well-being of their future children and the influence their family will have on society. (SA 104.1) 10. **Avoiding Impulse and Haste**: Many unhappy marriages result from hasty decisions and lack of acquaintance with each other's character. Time, reflection, and prayer are essential before making such a commitment. (4T 503; 3SG 120.1) In summary, Ellen White emphasizes that marriage should be entered into thoughtfully, with mutual love, respect, and a strong spiritual foundation, and that it requires ongoing effort, kindness, and growth.

En donde encuentro esto: "Mediante la justicia de Cristo que es por la fe, se cumple el propósito de la ley. La ley nos lleva a Cristo, para que seamos justificados por la fe.”

La frase que citas: "Mediante la justicia de Cristo que es por la fe, se cumple el propósito de la ley. La ley nos lleva a Cristo, para que seamos justificados por la fe." no aparece textualmente en los libros de Elena de White, pero el concepto está claramente expresado en varios de sus escritos. Aquí tienes algunas citas relevantes: 1. **El papel de la ley y la justificación por la fe**: - "En la vida de Cristo se hacen patentes los principios de la ley; y cuando el Espíritu Santo de Dios toca el corazón, cuando la luz de Cristo revela a los hombres su necesidad de su sangre purificadora y de su justicia justificadora, la ley sigue siendo un agente para llevarnos a Cristo, para que seamos justificados por la fe." — El Deseado de Todas las Gentes (DA) 308.2 2. **La ley nos lleva a Cristo**: - "La ley señala el deber del hombre y le muestra su culpa. A Cristo debe mirar para obtener perdón y poder para hacer lo que la ley exige." — El Deseado de Todas las Gentes (DA) 608.2 3. **La justicia de la ley se cumple en el creyente**: - "Así se cumple en el creyente en Cristo la misma justicia de la ley." — El Deseado de Todas las Gentes (DA) 762.2 Estas citas muestran que Elena de White enseña que la ley revela el pecado y nuestra necesidad de Cristo, y que solo mediante la fe en la justicia de Cristo se cumple el propósito de la ley. Si necesitas la cita exacta en contexto o en otro libro, házmelo saber. Referencias académicas: - White, E. G. (1898). El Deseado de Todas las Gentes, pp. 308, 608, 762.

creo que Elena comia gallina

No se encuentra evidencia en los escritos de Elena de White que indique explícitamente que ella comía gallina (pollo). En sus libros y testimonios, Elena de White promovió una dieta sencilla, basada principalmente en frutas, cereales, legumbres y verduras, y recomendó evitar la carne, especialmente en los últimos años de su vida y ministerio. En sus primeros años, ella misma reconoció que hubo una transición en su dieta y la de su familia, y que en ocasiones, por circunstancias de salud o falta de opciones, consumió carne. Sin embargo, en sus escritos más maduros, aconsejó dejar de lado la carne de animales, incluyendo aves, por razones de salud y principios espirituales. Por ejemplo, ella escribió: - “Dios me ha dado luz respecto al uso de la carne, y su influencia sobre la mente y el cuerpo. He dejado de usar carne.” (Consejos sobre el Régimen Alimenticio, p. 488) - “No necesitamos carne. Dios puede dar mejor alimento para sostener la vida y la salud.” (Consejos sobre el Régimen Alimenticio, p. 396) En resumen: Aunque en algún momento temprano pudo haber consumido carne, incluyendo posiblemente gallina, su consejo final y más enfático fue dejar de consumir carne, promoviendo una dieta vegetariana. No hay una cita directa que diga “Elena de White comía gallina”, y su ejemplo y consejo final fue abstenerse de todo tipo de carne. Si necesitas citas específicas sobre su transición dietética o su consejo sobre la carne de aves, puedo buscarlas para ti. Referencias académicas: - White, E. G. (1938). Consejos sobre el Régimen Alimenticio, pp. 396, 488.

Aquí tienes algunos puntos clave de sus escritos: 1. **Cumplimiento Profético Cercano**: - “La profecía del capítulo once de Daniel ha llegado casi a su completo cumplimiento. Pronto ocurrirán las escenas de angustia predichas en las profecías.” (Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 9, p. 14.2 / 9T 14.2) 2. **Contexto Histórico**: - Ellen White menciona que Daniel 11:1 se refiere al tiempo de Dario y Ciro, y el contexto del pueblo de Israel al final del cautiverio babilónico. (Profetas y Reyes, p. 556.4 / PK 556.4) 3. **Enseñanza General**: - Ellen White enfatiza que el estudio de Daniel y sus profecías es esencial para entender los eventos finales y fortalecer la fe del pueblo de Dios. No hay un comentario detallado de Ellen White sobre cada versículo de Daniel 11, pero sí afirma que su cumplimiento está muy cercano y que las escenas de angustia predichas pronto ocurrirán. Recomienda estudiar el libro de Daniel junto con Apocalipsis para comprender los tiempos finales. Referencias: - White, E. G. (1909). Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 9, p. 14.2. - White, E. G.

Segub Galatas 5 20 se condena la medicacion por drogas como E.G.W?

No hay evidencia en los escritos de Elena de White de que Gálatas 5:20 condene específicamente la medicación por drogas en el sentido moderno de medicamentos recetados. Sin embargo, Elena de White sí condenó el uso de drogas y medicamentos tóxicos (como se usaban en su época: mercurio, opio, morfina, etc.) y abogó por abandonar el “drugging” (drogas/medicación tóxica), recomendando en su lugar remedios naturales como el agua, el aire puro, la dieta saludable y el ejercicio. Sobre Gálatas 5:20, Elena de White lo relaciona con las “obras de la carne” y los “estimulantes y narcóticos” (como el alcohol, tabaco, morfina, etc.), pero no lo aplica directamente a todos los medicamentos modernos. Ella escribió: - “El uso de drogas debe ser abandonado para siempre; pues mientras no cura ninguna enfermedad, debilita el sistema, haciéndolo más susceptible a la enfermedad.” (Testimonios para la Iglesia 5:311) - “La medicación con drogas, como generalmente se practica, es una maldición. Eduquen para alejarse de las drogas, úsenlas cada vez menos, y dependan más de los agentes higiénicos.” (Testimonios inéditos, 1888) - “La amonestación de Pedro de abstenerse de los deseos carnales es una advertencia directa y enérgica contra el uso de todos esos estimulantes y narcóticos como el té, café, tabaco, alcohol y morfina.” (La Temperancia Verdadera, p. 28) En resumen: Elena de White condena el uso de drogas y narcóticos dañinos, y promueve los remedios naturales, pero no hay una condena directa de todos los medicamentos modernos basada en Gálatas 5:20. Ella asocia las “obras de la carne” con el uso de sustancias que esclavizan y dañan el cuerpo y la mente. Referencias académicas: - White, E. G. (1885). Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 5, p. 311. - White, E. G. (1888). Testimonios inéditos. - White, E. G. (1890). La Temperancia Verdadera, p. 28.

Segun el griego se condena la medicacionbpor drogas al igual que E.G.W. condena las drogas como medicamento?

Sobre tu pregunta acerca del griego y la condena de la medicación por drogas, aquí tienes un análisis basado en los escritos de Elena de White y el término griego "pharmakeia" usado en Gálatas 5:20: **1. El término griego "pharmakeia" en Gálatas 5:20:** - "Pharmakeia" se traduce comúnmente como "hechicería" o "brujería", pero su raíz está relacionada con el uso de drogas, pociones o sustancias para propósitos mágicos, supersticiosos o dañinos. En el contexto bíblico, se refiere principalmente a prácticas paganas de manipulación espiritual y física mediante sustancias, no a la medicina moderna en sí. **2. Elena de White y la medicación por drogas:** - Elena de White condenó fuertemente el uso de drogas y medicamentos tóxicos de su época (como mercurio, opio, morfina, etc.), afirmando que debían ser abandonados: “El uso de drogas debe ser abandonado para siempre; pues mientras no cura ninguna enfermedad, debilita el sistema, haciéndolo más susceptible a la enfermedad.” (Testimonios para la Iglesia 5:311) - También escribió: “La medicación con drogas, como generalmente se practica, es una maldición. Eduquen para alejarse de las drogas, úsenlas cada vez menos, y dependan más de los agentes higiénicos.” (Testimonios inéditos, 1888) - Promueve el uso de remedios naturales: aire puro, agua, dieta saludable, ejercicio, y confianza en Dios. **3. Relación entre "pharmakeia" y la condena de E.G.W.:** - Aunque "pharmakeia" en Gálatas 5:20 no se refiere directamente a la medicina moderna, sí condena el uso de sustancias para manipulación, adicción o daño, lo cual coincide con la postura de Elena de White contra el uso de drogas dañinas y narcóticos. - Elena de White asocia las “obras de la carne” (como las mencionadas en Gálatas 5:20) con el uso de estimulantes y narcóticos (té, café, tabaco, alcohol, morfina), pero no condena todos los medicamentos modernos, sino los que son dañinos y esclavizan el cuerpo y la mente. **Resumen:** El término griego "pharmakeia" en Gálatas 5:20 condena la hechicería y el uso dañino de sustancias, y Elena de White condena el uso de drogas y medicamentos tóxicos, promoviendo remedios naturales. Hay una coincidencia en la condena del uso de sustancias que dañan el cuerpo y la mente, pero no una condena directa a toda medicación moderna. **Citas relevantes:** - “El uso de drogas debe ser abandonado para siempre...” (5T 311) - “La medicación con drogas, como generalmente se practica, es una maldición...” (Testimonios inéditos, 1888) - “La amonestación de Pedro de abstenerse de los deseos carnales es una advertencia directa y enérgica contra el uso de todos esos estimulantes y narcóticos como el té, café, tabaco, alcohol y morfina.” (La Temperancia Verdadera, p. 28) ¿Te gustaría una explicación más detallada sobre el término "pharmakeia" o sobre la postura de Elena de White respecto a algún medicamento específico?
