Frases de Ellen G. White

Ellen Gold White foi uma escritora cristã americana, tida como profetiza pelos membros da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia , denominação cristã que teve forte participação, porém, ela não foi a fundadora desta denominação religiosa. Os adventistas consideram Ellen G. White uma profetisa contemporânea, embora ela mesma nunca tenha reivindicado para si esse título. Os adventistas acreditam que Ellen White teve o "Dom de Profecia" - pois segundo eles, podem prová-lo. , como descritos em Apocalipse 12:17 e 19:10. A base dessa crença, de acordo com a interpretações do adventismo, está no fato do Novo Testamento apontar que nos últimos dias os cristãos teriam novamente o "dom de profecia" para orientar a igreja. .

Nos seus livros, evidencia a existência de um conflito cósmico sendo travado na terra entre o bem e o mal . Esse conflito é conhecido como “o grande conflito” e foi fundamental para o desenvolvimento da teologia adventista.

Ellen afirmou ter recebido uma visão logo após o Grande Desapontamento Milerita. Num contexto onde muitas outras pessoas alegavam também ter recebidos visões, ela era conhecida por sua convicção e fervorosa fé. Randall Balmer, a descreveu como "uma das figuras mais vibrantes e fascinantes da história da religião americana." Já Walter Martin afirmou que ela era "uma das personagens mais fascinantes e controversas do seu tempo a aparecer no horizonte da história religiosa."

Ellen G. White: Frases em inglês

“In these lessons direct from nature, there is a simplicity and purity that makes them of the highest value. All need the teaching to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions, and toward purity, peace, and God.”

Ellen G. White livro Christ's Object Lessons

Christ's Object Lessons (1900)
Contexto: Through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator. The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God. As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces; but unless the mind has become too dark to know God, the eye too dim to see Him, the ear too dull to hear His voice, a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart.

“Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form.”

Ellen G. White livro Christ's Object Lessons

Ch. 1 http://www.egwtext.whiteestate.org/col/col1.html, p. 17
Christ's Object Lessons (1900)
Contexto: In Christ's parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ's teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.

“The people are hungry for the bread of life. Do not offer them a stone.”

Book II, Ch. 1, p. 24
Selected Messages (1958 - 1980)

“In the prayer of faith there is a divine science; it is a science that everyone who would make his lifework a success must understand.”

“Christ sought to remove that which obscured the truth.”

Ellen G. White livro Christ's Object Lessons

Fonte: Christ's Object Lessons (1900), Ch. 1, p. 19
Contexto: Not only the things of nature, but the sacrificial service and the Scriptures themselves — all given to reveal God — were so perverted that they became the means of concealing Him.
Christ sought to remove that which obscured the truth. The veil that sin has cast over the face of nature, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the spiritual glory that all things were created to reflect. His words placed the teachings of nature as well as of the Bible in a new aspect, and made them a new revelation.

“Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations.”

Contexto: Jesus desired to awaken inquiry. He sought to arouse the careless, and impress truth upon the heart. Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. No more effective method of instruction could He have employed.

“So the treasures in the word of God are not appreciated until they are revealed by the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness.
The Holy Spirit, sent from heaven by the benevolence of infinite love, takes the things of God and reveals them to every soul that has an implicit faith in Christ. By His power the vital truths upon which the salvation of the soul depends are impressed upon the mind, and the way of life is made so plain that none need err therein.”

Ch. 8 http://www.egwtext.whiteestate.org/col/col8.html, p. 113
Christ's Object Lessons (1900)
Contexto: We need the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit in order to discern the truths in God's word. The lovely things of the natural world are not seen until the sun, dispelling the darkness, floods them with its light. So the treasures in the word of God are not appreciated until they are revealed by the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness.
The Holy Spirit, sent from heaven by the benevolence of infinite love, takes the things of God and reveals them to every soul that has an implicit faith in Christ. By His power the vital truths upon which the salvation of the soul depends are impressed upon the mind, and the way of life is made so plain that none need err therein. As we study the Scriptures, we should pray for the light of God's Holy Spirit to shine upon the word, that we may see and appreciate its treasures.

“Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness.
And He had another reason for teaching in parables. Among the multitudes that gathered about Him, there were priests and rabbis, scribes and elders, Herodians and rulers, world-loving, bigoted, ambitious men, who desired above all things to find some accusation against Him. Their spies followed His steps day after day, to catch from His lips something that would cause His condemnation, and forever silence the One who seemed to draw the world after Him. The Saviour understood the character of these men, and He presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring His case before the Sanhedrim. In parables He rebuked the hypocrisy and wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in figurative language clothed truth of so cutting a character that had it been spoken in direct denunciation, they would not have listened to His words, and would speedily have put an end to His ministry.”

Contexto: Christ had truths to present which the people were unprepared to accept or even to understand. For this reason also He taught them in parables. By connecting His teaching with the scenes of life, experience, or nature, He secured their attention and impressed their hearts. Afterward, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher. To minds that were open to the Holy Spirit, the significance of the Saviour's teaching unfolded more and more. Mysteries grew clear, and that which had been hard to grasp became evident.
Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness.

But while He evaded the spies, He made truth so clear that error was manifested, and the honest in heart were profited by His lessons.

“His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God.”

Contexto: Christ interpreted the message which He Himself had given to the lilies and the grass of the field. He desires us to read it in every lily and every spire of grass. His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God.
So wide was Christ's view of truth, so extended His teaching, that every phase of nature was employed in illustrating truth. The scenes upon which the eye daily rests were all connected with some spiritual truth, so that nature is clothed with the parables of the Master.

“We must not think, "Well, we have all the truth, we understand the main pillars of our faith, and we may rest on this knowledge." The truth is an advancing truth, and we must walk in the increasing light.”
