Are black people the descendants of Ham?
Based on the available Ellen White book sources, there is no statement that directly identifies black people as the descendants of Ham. The writings discuss the descendants of Ham, Shem, and Japheth in the context of biblical history, particularly after the flood, and mention the curse on Canaan (Ham's son) and the resulting servitude of his descendants. However, these sources do not equate Ham's descendants with any specific modern racial group, including black people. Ellen White's writings emphasize that the prophecy regarding Ham's descendants was not an arbitrary curse but a result of character and choices, and that lineage or race does not determine spiritual standing or worth. For example: - "The prophecy of Noah was no arbitrary denunciation of wrath or declaration of favor. It did not fix the character and destiny of his sons. But it showed what would be the result of the course of life they had severally chosen and the character they had developed." (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 118.2) - "Christ recognized no virtue in lineage. He taught that spiritual connection supersedes all natural connection." (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 268.2) In summary, Ellen White's writings do not support the idea that black people are specifically the descendants of Ham, nor do they use this concept to justify any racial distinctions or prejudices. The focus is on character and spiritual relationship with God, not on race or ancestry. References: - White, E. G. (1890). Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 118.2. - White, E. G. (1900).

Were beings from other worlds created it Gods likeness
Based on Ellen White's published books, there is no explicit statement that beings from other worlds were created in God's likeness in the same way as humanity. Her writings consistently emphasize that humanity—Adam and Eve—were created in the image of God, both physically and spiritually, and that this was a unique distinction: - "Next to the angelic beings, the human family, formed in the image of God, are the noblest of His created works." (MH 397.1) - "God created man a superior being; he alone is formed in the image of God and is capable of partaking of the divine nature, of co-operating with his Creator and executing His plans; and he alone is found at war with God's purposes." (5T 311.4) - "When Adam came from the Creator's hand, he bore, in his physical, mental, and spiritual nature, a likeness to his Maker." (Ed 15.1) While Ellen White does mention "beings from the courts above" and "all heavenly beings" created by God (see PP 34.2, MH 105.2), she does not specifically state that these beings were created in God's image as humanity was. The distinction is made that humans are "a little lower than the angels" (Ed 20.2), but the unique aspect of being made in God's image is reserved for humanity. In summary, according to Ellen White's books, only humanity is specifically described as being created in God's likeness. There is no clear statement that beings from other worlds share this same likeness. References: - White, E. G. (1905). The Ministry of Healing, p. 397.1. - White, E. G. (1889).
