We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Did They Really Say That?

?!?
The Savior could not see through the portals of the tomb.  Hope did not present to him his coming forth from the grave a conqueror, or tell him of the Father’s acceptance of the sacrifice.
Ellen G. White, The Desire of the Ages, p.753
Was Ellen White right about this?  In Luke 24:6-7 the angel tells how Jesus said he would rise again on the third day.  In John 2:9 Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”  And in John 10:17-18 Jesus says that he has the authority to not only lay his body down but to also take it up again.
So it is plain in Scripture that Jesus did indeed know that he would be returning from the grave as a conqueror.  E. G. White is proven to be a false teacher.
