Ellen G. White recommended the use of pulverized charcoal in two main ways: as a drink (by soaking the charcoal in water and drinking the water after it has stood for a while) and as a fomentation (a hot compress). For the fomentation, the charcoal should be placed in a bag, sewn up, and dipped in hot water before being applied, especially over the bowels. She also mentioned that using two bags alternately is helpful. Additionally, she noted that charcoal fomentations could be even more effective if the charcoal is wet in smartweed boiled water. These methods were suggested for treating illness and pain, even in severe cases where recovery seemed unlikely (20MR 280.3; 21MR 290.1). Confidence score: 100% References: - White, E. G. (n.d.).

Ellen G. White does not use the specific illustration of a tree with roots and branches for the Old and New Testaments. However, she does use the imagery of “two olive trees” and “two candlesticks” from Revelation 11:4 to represent the Old and New Testaments. She explains that these “two witnesses” symbolize the Scriptures of both Testaments, each serving as a vital testimony to the law of God and the plan of salvation. The Old Testament points forward to a coming Saviour, while the New Testament reveals the Saviour who has come, fulfilling those prophecies. She also describes the relationship between the Old and New Testaments as one of mutual illumination: “The Old Testament sheds light upon the New, and the New upon the Old. Each is a revelation of the glory of God in Christ.” (CT 462.3; GC 267.1; 4SP 188.2)

Ellen G. White does not use the exact illustration of the Old and New Testaments as a single tree with roots and branches in her published writings. Instead, she uses the imagery of “two olive trees” and “two candlesticks” (from Revelation 11:4) to represent the Old and New Testaments. She explains that these “two witnesses” symbolize the Scriptures of both Testaments, each serving as a vital testimony to the law of God and the plan of salvation. She also describes their relationship as one of mutual illumination: “The Old Testament sheds light upon the New, and the New upon the Old. Each is a revelation of the glory of God in Christ.” (CT 462.3; GC 267.1; 4SP 188.2) If you are looking for a different or more specific illustration, or if you have a particular quotation in mind, please provide more details and I will search again.

There is no direct statement from Ellen G. White that specifically says, "we shouldn’t have meetings past 9pm." However, she does counsel against holding meetings late into the night, warning that unreasonable hours are destructive to physical, mental, and moral powers.

Ellen G. White describe a Dios como el Ser supremo, lleno de amor, bondad y misericordia. Ella cita la proclamación divina: “El Señor, El Señor Dios, misericordioso y clemente, tardo para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad, que guarda misericordia a millares, que perdona la iniquidad, la rebelión y el pecado, y que de ningún modo tendrá por inocente al malvado” (Patriarcas y Profetas, p. 329.2). Dios es presentado como un Padre amoroso, accesible a todos los que lo buscan: “El Dios infinito, dijo Jesús, hace tu privilegio acercarte a Él por el nombre de Padre. Comprende todo lo que esto implica. Ningún padre terrenal ha suplicado tan fervientemente por un hijo errante como el que te creó suplica por el transgresor” (El Discurso Maestro de Jesucristo, p. 105.2). También se destaca que Dios es sabio, poderoso, justo y que su gracia se manifiesta especialmente en el plan de redención a través de Jesucristo (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 5, pp. 300.2, 633.3). Referencias: - White, E. G. (1890). Patriarcas y Profetas, p. 329.2. - White, E. G. (1896). El Discurso Maestro de Jesucristo, p. 105.2. - White, E. G. Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 5, pp. 300.2, 633.3.

Ellen G. White describes God as a personal, loving, and powerful Creator, whose nature is beyond full human comprehension, but who is revealed through Jesus Christ and is accessible as a loving Father. She emphasizes that human language cannot define God, and that while God is majestic and unapproachable in His fullness, He is also intimately involved with humanity and desires a relationship with each person. (See 3MR 328.2; 18MR; 3MR 326.4; 21MR 219.6; Hvn 72.2; Pr 291.5; MM 92) References: - White, E. G. Manuscript Releases, vol. 3, pp. 326.4, 328.2; vol. 18; vol. 21, p. 219.6. - White, E. G. (1984).

Ellen G. White wrote: “The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony. He will bring in spurious visions to mislead, and will mingle the false with the true, and so disgust people that they will regard everything that bears the name of visions as a species of fanaticism; but honest souls, by contrasting false and true, will be enabled to distinguish between them.” (2SM 78.2; 1SM 48; LDE 177.5; 10MR 311.1) She further warns that there will be a hatred kindled against the testimonies which is satanic, and that Satan’s purpose is to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, so he can more easily bring in his deceptions (1SM 48.4).

Ellen G. White teaches that a student should choose a Seventh-day Adventist school over other schools because Adventist schools provide a distinct spiritual foundation, integrate faith with learning, prepare students for eternal life, offer a safe spiritual environment, emphasize mission and service, promote healthful living, and support Adventist beliefs and values. These schools are designed to nurture character, faith, and service in harmony with biblical truth. (See CT 56, 401; 5T 587.1; 4T 295.2; LS 376.1; 1T 553)

Ellen G. White does not specifically state that God sends students as missionaries to secular institutions. Instead, she consistently emphasizes that God established Adventist schools and colleges to train young people for missionary service and to prepare them for usefulness in His work. These schools are to be centers for spiritual, practical, and missionary training, and students are encouraged to engage in missionary work during their studies (CT 514.3; 5T 390.3; GW 81.3; CT 547.2). She also warns that sending Adventist youth to secular institutions can expose them to influences that may weaken their faith, and that Adventist schools were established to provide a safe environment for spiritual growth and preparation for service (CT 401; 4T 295.2). While students are encouraged to do missionary work in surrounding towns and cities during their time at Adventist schools, Ellen White does not present the idea that God’s plan is to send Adventist students as missionaries to secular schools as a primary method. Rather, the focus is on training and sending them from Adventist institutions into the broader mission field.

Ellen G. White teaches that understanding God’s will for your life involves prayerful study of the Bible, a willingness to follow God’s leading, living a life of faith and service, being open to the Holy Spirit, learning from life’s experiences, and fully committing yourself to God. As you study, pray, and seek to do God’s will above your own, He will guide you step by step and give you peace and assurance. (See DA 390.5; 4T 53.3; 2T 170.1; AA 566.2; LS 25.1, 42.2, 72.2, 91.3; Ed 41.3; HS 160.1)

Here are 7 key points from Ellen G. White’s writings on how to understand God’s will for your life: 1. **Study God’s Word and Pray** God’s promises, warnings, and instructions in the Bible are meant for you personally. As you study and pray, God’s Word molds your thoughts and character, helping you discern His will. — (DA 390.5; 4T 53.3) 2. **Ask God Directly and Be Willing to Follow** Ask God, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” and be willing to follow wherever He leads, even if it means setting aside your own inclinations. — (4T 53.3; LS 42.2) 3. **Live a Life of Faith, Love, and Service** God’s will is for your sanctification and service to others. As you walk in faith, love, and obedience, you fulfill His purpose for your life. — (2T 170.1; AA 566.2) 4. **Be Open to the Holy Spirit’s Guidance** Sometimes God’s leading is not immediately clear, but as you move forward in faith, He gives peace and assurance. — (HS 160.1) 5. **Learn from Life’s Experiences and Trials** God uses life’s experiences, including difficulties, to draw you closer to Him and prepare you for service. — (LS 25.1; Ed 41.3) 6. **Commit Yourself Fully to God** Offer your life to God, ready to do His bidding, and seek to please Him above all else. — (LS 72.2; LS 91.3) 7. **Trust God’s Timing and Methods** God may not reveal His entire plan at once, but as you trust Him day by day, He will guide your steps and make His will plain. — (Implied throughout the above references; see also LS 25.1) If you need the full quotations or more detail on any point, let me know!

Ellen G. White would say we should be deeply thankful for the opportunity to work for God, viewing it as a high honor, a source of joy, and a sacred privilege. She repeatedly expresses gratitude for being able to serve, encourages others to have hearts filled with gratitude, and reminds us to give thanks in everything. She counsels that every opportunity to serve is a blessing, even in times of weakness or challenge, and that we should bring cheerfulness and gratitude to our service for God. (See 8T 237.3; 6T 426.3; GW 174; 5T 573.3; 9T 150.3; LS 427.2; LS 332.3; 7T 287.2; MH 255.5; HL 170.5)

Ellen G. White is recognized by the Seventh-day Adventist Church as having the prophetic gift. Her ministry was characterized by visions, counsel, and messages from God, and her work is often referred to as that of a prophet. The church regards her as a modern-day prophet whose writings continue the biblical tradition of prophetic guidance for God's people. (See Spiritual Gifts, vol. 4b; Early Writings, p. 297.5; Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 609.3)

Ellen G. White, em seus escritos, destaca que muitas das dificuldades e provas enfrentadas pela igreja e pelos indivíduos — que podem levar ao tropeço, dúvidas e insatisfação — têm origem em um “espírito não domado e rebelde”, frequentemente resultado de uma educação permissiva na infância. Ela afirma que muitos problemas, crimes e vidas arruinadas poderiam ter sido evitados se, na infância, a mente e o coração tivessem sido disciplinados e guiados corretamente, especialmente sob a influência de uma mãe amorosa. Ela conclui que o preparo deficiente da criança é a base de uma grande quantidade de miséria moral. Ou seja, a falta de disciplina e orientação adequada na infância pode resultar em sérias consequências morais e espirituais na vida adulta. Referência: - Este pensamento está alinhado com os conselhos de Ellen G. White em livros como "A Ciência do Bom Viver", "A Educação" e "Conselhos aos Pais, Professores e Estudantes", onde ela enfatiza a importância da educação e disciplina cristã desde a infância. Se desejar a citação original ou mais contexto, por favor, informe!

Aqui estão outras citações de Ellen G. White que expressam ideias semelhantes sobre as consequências da falta de disciplina e preparo moral na infância: 1. “Pais frequentemente acariciam e mimam seus filhos pequenos porque parece mais fácil administrá-los assim. É mais suave deixá-los fazerem sua própria vontade do que conter as inclinações indisciplinadas que surgem tão fortemente em seus peitos. [...] O tempo virá em que essas crianças, cujas inclinações não foram controladas, terão se transformado em vícios absolutos, trazendo vergonha e desgraça para si mesmas e suas famílias. [...] Saem para a vida despreparados para suas tentações, não fortes o suficiente para suportar perplexidades e problemas; passionais, dominadores, indisciplinados, procuram dobrar outros à sua vontade, e, falhando nisso, consideram-se maltratados pelo mundo e se voltam contra ele.” (Testemunhos para a Igreja, vol. 4, p. 201.2) 2. “A educação recebida na infância e juventude afeta toda a carreira de negócios na vida madura, e a experiência religiosa traz uma marca correspondente. [...] Assim, toda a vida de muitos prova ser um fracasso porque não tiveram disciplina correta quando jovens.” (Testemunhos para a Igreja, vol. 3, p. 148.1) 3. “A negligência dos pais em disciplinar adequadamente seus filhos tem sido uma fonte frutífera de males em muitas famílias. [...] O resultado tem sido que geralmente conseguiram governar seus pais em vez de estarem sob sua autoridade.” (Testemunhos para a Igreja, vol. 4, p. 192) 4. “A disciplina doméstica é necessária. As crianças devem ser ensinadas que suas capacidades lhes foram dadas para a honra e glória de Deus. Para isso, devem aprender a lição da obediência, pois só por vidas de obediência voluntária podem prestar a Deus o serviço que Ele requer. Antes que a criança seja suficientemente velha para raciocinar, deve ser ensinada a obedecer.” (Conselhos aos Pais, Professores e Estudantes, p. 110) 5. “A negligência do primeiro treinamento da criança, e o consequente fortalecimento das tendências erradas, torna sua educação posterior mais difícil, e faz com que a disciplina seja muitas vezes um processo doloroso.” (Educação, p. 295) 6. “A formação do caráter é obra de uma vida, e é para a eternidade. Se todos pudessem perceber isso, e despertassem para o pensamento de que estamos individualmente decidindo nosso próprio destino e o de nossos filhos para a vida eterna ou ruína eterna, que mudança ocorreria!” (Conselhos sobre Educação, p. 61) Essas citações reforçam a importância da disciplina, orientação e preparo moral desde a infância, mostrando que a negligência nessa área traz consequências sérias para o indivíduo e para a sociedade.

Aqui está uma meditação para estudantes de medicina, baseada em dois textos impactantes do livro "Medicina e Salvação": 1. **O Essencial do Evangelho é a Restauração** > “E devemos ensinar outros a preservar e a recuperar a saúde. Para os doentes devemos usar os remédios que Deus proveu na natureza, e devemos apontá-los para Aquele que sozinho pode restaurar. É nosso trabalho apresentar os doentes e sofredores a Cristo nos braços da fé. Devemos ensiná-los a crer no grande Médico. Devemos nos apegar à Sua promessa e orar pela manifestação de Seu poder. A própria essência do evangelho é a restauração, e o Salvador deseja que convidemos os doentes, os desesperançados e os aflitos a se apegarem à Sua força.” (Medicina e Salvação, p. 467.1) 2. **O Médico Cristão: Mensageiro de Misericórdia** > “O médico cristão deve ser para o doente um mensageiro de misericórdia, levando-lhe um remédio para a alma enferma pelo pecado, assim como para o corpo doente. Ao usar os simples remédios que Deus proveu para o alívio do sofrimento físico, deve falar do poder de Cristo para curar as enfermidades da alma.” (Medicina e Salvação, p. 72.1) Esses textos mostram que o chamado do estudante de medicina cristão é ser instrumento de restauração física e espiritual, apontando sempre para o grande Médico, Jesus Cristo.

Ellen G. White uses the phrase "last touch of immortality" to describe the moment when the righteous, at Christ’s second coming, are transformed and receive immortality. While the exact phrase may not appear in every book, the concept is clearly expressed in her writings: - She describes the resurrection of the righteous: “They sleep; they are awakened by the trump of God to a glorious immortality. ‘For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible.... So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.’” (GC 549.3) - She also writes: “When they arise from the tomb, their first glad thought will be echoed in the triumphal shout: ‘O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?’” (GC 549.3) - The Bible is quoted: “To them who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life.” (1T 39.1) Ellen White is clear that immortality is not possessed by humans now, but is a gift given at the resurrection, at the last day, when Jesus returns and the righteous are changed.
