"FALSE REFORMATIONS.. YET TO BE SEEN!" CUT OUT of EARLY WRITINGS, 1882
They CUT and RENUMBERED this entire section, just like Saint Augustine did with the 10 Commandments.
Speaking of Early Writings, 1882, this is the book Sister White was reported to have said, “What have they done to my book!”
Do yourself a favor and don’t leave this page until you understand the issue of “FALSE REFORMATIONS” which were to SPREAD and INCREASE.
Had you heard of FALSE REFORMATIONS as sign of MIRACLE-WORKING POWER? Keep reading.
What is referred to here is a line from “A Sketch of the Christian Experience and Views of Ellen G. White”, 1851.
“I saw that the mysterious signs and wonders, and false reformations would increase, and spread. The reformations that were shown me, were not reformations from error to truth.” ExV, 27
This was explained a bit in the 1853 “Notes of Explanation”.
“The “false reformations” referred to, are being seen, but are yet to be seen more fully. This view relates more particularly to those who have rejected the light of the Advent doctrine.—They are given over to strong delusions.” Notes of Explanation, 1853.
YET, in Early Writings, this section is CUT OUT, stuck into an appendix and the section is renumbered.
“HAVING REJECTED THE ADVENT THEY ARE GIVEN OVER TO THE DELUSIONS OF SATAN”
You’ll want to REVIEW all of the CHANGES in the document below, but don’t forget to read everything you can about the FALSE REFORMATIONS.
There is MUCH MORE to find, cut out of “Early Writings”. Can you find any others? [You’ll need a pdf reader]
Read read,
“I saw that as God worked for His people, Satan would also work, and that the mysterious knocking and signs and wonders of Satan and false reformations would increase and spread.” Letter 5, 1849.
How many things is that?
What kind of “Reformations” are they?
The reformations that were shown me were not reformations from error to truth, No, no, but from bad to worse, for those who professed a change of heart had only wrapt about them a religious cloak which covered up the iniquity of a vile heart so as to deceive God’s people; but if their hearts could be seen they would appear as black as ever.” Ibid.
Thank you for this! Oh I hope people will download and read the PDF, that you included with this post, that shows the changes made to Early Writings, along with the original content that was written for us, but left out.
There are extremely important actionable items she wrote that all should be doing now. One, for example is where she is saying how we must know our Bibles so well so that we can speak the reasons for our faith.
THIS is something every person should be doing right now. People should be challenging themselves and studying, as in school, asking themselves, "Where in the Bible are the proofs to backup what I believe?" And if they cannot provide Biblical proof for their belief, this should be a top priority to study, research and find it.
There are so many fables or false teachings that are pushed forth upon people of what the Bible supposedly teaches. The vast majority of people never question the validity of them from the Bible.
Likewise, even many of those who know of these false teachings also cannot prove the truth they believe from the same scriptures.
We need to all be studying our Bibles FOR TRUTH, like the Bereans did in Paul's day. This can be a joint work, but it especially must be an individual work too. Anyone could be called, like Mrs White wrote, to stand up ALONE and give a testimony for their faith using their Bible alone.
I talk about this all the time, I know. How many are now doing this work of individual Bible study?
This would be more important than endlessly watching the videos being pushed out week after week.
We are living in such serious and solemn times. I feel the urgency on me like never before.
