This tool helps you find information from the published writings of Ellen G. White. You can ask questions about her teachings, beliefs, or specific topics, and I will search her books for relevant passages and provide you with accurate, sourced answers. If you want information only from her manuscripts or compilations, you can specify that in your question (for example, "search manuscripts only" or "compilations only"). Otherwise, I will search her books by default. If you have a specific reference notation (like "LS 141.1"), I currently can't search by that, but I can help you find information by topic or keyword. Let me know what you'd like to learn or search for!

There is no evidence in the writings of Ellen G. White that the apostles themselves will appear in the last days to negate what they taught in the Bible. Ellen White consistently affirms the authority and reliability of the biblical apostles and their teachings. She warns against false prophets and deceptive manifestations in the last days, but these are not described as the original apostles contradicting their own inspired writings. Any claim that the apostles would appear to negate their biblical teachings is contrary to both the Bible and Ellen White's writings. References: - Ellen G.

Ellen G. White clearly distinguishes between worshipping the God of the Sabbath and merely observing the Sabbath as a ritual. She emphasizes that Jesus sought to correct the Pharisees' narrow and legalistic view of the Sabbath. Instead of honoring the day itself above its Creator, Jesus demonstrated that the Sabbath was made for man’s benefit and for communion with God, not as a burden of meaningless restrictions. Key points from her writings: - Jesus showed that God's work does not cease on the Sabbath; in fact, God’s blessings and attention are especially sought by His people on that day (2SP 164.1). - The Pharisees had mistaken the object of the Sabbath, focusing on heartless rites rather than mercy, love, and true worship of God (2SP 197.2; DA 285.4). - Jesus taught that the Sabbath was not intended to be a period of useless inactivity, but a time for rest, worship, and holy deeds (2SP 165.1). - He rebuked the Pharisees for their senseless restrictions, which made the Sabbath a yoke of bondage, and instead exalted the Sabbath by performing acts of mercy and healing (2SP 199.1; DA 287.2). - Jesus declared Himself “Lord of the Sabbath,” teaching that the service of God and the redemption of man are in harmony with the Sabbath law (DA 285.3). - The Sabbath was designed to bring men into communion with God; mere outward observance without love and service is a mockery (DA 286.1). In summary, Ellen White affirms that Jesus’ actions on the Sabbath were to restore its true purpose: worshipping God, showing mercy, and doing good, rather than adhering to burdensome traditions. The Sabbath is to be honored as a means of drawing closer to God, not as an end in itself. References: - White, E. G. (1877).
