"What a conclusion! The Lord has a special work to perform through one of the acknowledged gifts, but suffers the message given to be adulterated before it reaches the person whom He wishes to correct! Of what use are the visions if persons regard them in this light? They put their own construction upon them, and feel at liberty to reject that portion which does not agree with their feelings. H knows that every word of the vision given for him in Ohio was correct. And when he could keep the message from the church no longer (for it was called for, and read at the —— Conference last fall), he acknowledged it all true. But he has kept up a blind warfare against that which he knew to be correct. 1T 235.1"
"Despise not prophesyings."
The EGW passage directly addresses the act of despising or rejecting prophecy by selectively accepting parts of it. This aligns with the principle of not despising prophesyings found in 1 Thessalonians 5:20.
