Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Matthew 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Creative non-fiction is lauded as a genre, although I disagree with the concept. In its most basic form, a writer takes fact, and puts it down in an interesting way to read like a story. True creative fiction starts as a tiny seed, a germ of an idea. Everything has to have a beginning, and so it is with the way of creative fiction. We find that tiny seed, that tiny spark, and we tease it to life, fan the flames of the mind and a character is born. The spark is struck by a phrase heard, or an incident, or any number of ways, infinitum. The character, in order to be created must never have lived before in the mind of man, he may resemble someone else, but he is a created character who has his own personality. Ellen G White copied the work of others profusely and then tried to make it her own. It cannot be done. Her work resembles neither creative non-fiction, nor true creative fiction, which any reader with common sense knows when he is reading fiction. It is created to be a work of fiction. It is never created to be a work of fact finding. I suppose the story telling is as old as man. Ellen G. White, on the other hand, saw other writers work, and stole it and claimed it for her own. We call that plagiarism. Soon it seems, she put together these stolen tidbits with her own creative imagination and it was born into a strange brew of a peculiar insanity and it appears as if she could no longer tell that which was stolen from others, from that which her own mind created. Just as in true creative fiction, each one of us has our own personality unlike any other. It appears to me, not being satisfied with who God created her to be, she recreated herself and became a danger to herself and others. “Well, here God, let me help you with that. I can do better than you.” The problem is we cannot do better, and we cannot help him, as we are totally dependent on him for life and breathe, totally upheld by him as the earth orbit is, whether saved or sinner, totally and with absolute finality dependent upon our creator God. I have a younger brother who recreated himself into the idea of what he thought was good to him, and he became and still is a dangerous man to himself and to others. It seems as if Ellen White, in the recreation of herself had done so much untold damage to so many lives, the damage cannot be counted, Paraded as a prophet, but not even a false prophet, nothing more than a miserable caricature of her thefts and her inability to overcome God. Not in her wildest dreams would she have guessed that knowledge would increase to the point to where she would be found out as a plagiarist and have it shouted from the roof tops. Had she believed truly believed the book of Daniel, Daniel foresaw that day and wrote it down, and it became scripture. She could not foresee the advent of the hale telescope, a giant of a thing hanging in orbit around the earth and revealing her silly mind for what it was, and a stealing, grubbing heart. Adventist still proclaim her to this day, Adventist who are nothing more than dumb blind brutes with snow white glazed over eyes, standing in Satan’s corral and butting at the wall’s of their captivity. I wonder, due to her prolific writing, if she could not have become one of the well known artists of her time such as Clements, whose well known classics stir hearts today, if she had not chosen to steal the work of others. She proclaimed, “Thou shalt not steal or bear false witness to others, yet stole and bore false witness herself, it seems. River | ||

Any one can count the seeds in an apple. But ONLY God can count the apples in a seed.  As egw spread her seed that has yielded untold and unimaginable misery.... Let us go forth sowers of the Word of God and let it bring in a bountiful harvest of lives saved, restored and written in the Lamb's book of life. One sows, another waters and God causes the seed to grow and bring forth the fruit of life. love handmaiden | ||

Unfortunately River you are right again concerning Adventism. I have just come away from reading Kerry B Wynnes treatise "Drs Bacchiocchi and MacCarty Wreak Hovoc with Sabbath and SDA Theology (The rest of the story) I have just caught up with this because of interest of one of my contacts. Generally I try to resist negative Adventist influences in favour of Scriptural Gospel witnessing. This epistle is available through amazinglies@sbcglobal.net or via the Truth or Fabels website. For those who interested it brings one up to speed accurately as to the current Adventist situation. Go with the Scriptural Gospel - much more positive. Man What a God! JRossB |
