trio" Yet by 1919, SDA leaders had not united on Christs full deity or the Trinity (1919 Bible Conference, p. 57). Their 1915 Bible Readings for the Home only held Jesus "essential deity", limiting his equality with God to "proprietorship" of the angels, saints, etc. (p. 68); but failed to give any teaching of the Trinity at all! This had to be because Ellens 1897, 1898 and 1905 words were ambiguously modified by her other statements!
1897 Rev 8:3 "The ministry of the angel at the altar of incense is representative of Christ's intercession" (ms 15, 1897). 1900 "The mighty angel who instructed John (Rev. 1:1) was no less than the person of Christ" (ms 59, 1900). 1903 "The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty" (ms 150, SDA Bible Commentary Vol. 5, p. 1129) 1904 "To Christ had been given an exalted position. He has been made equal with the Father" (Testimonies vol. 8, p. 268) 1905 "The instructionwas so important that Christ cameto give it to his servant" (ms 129; Bible Commentary vol. 7, p. 971) 1905 Rev 10:6 "In swearing by the creator, the angel who is Christ, swore by himself" (ibid., p. 798)
These statements, along with her 1844 vision of Jesus with wings, and her repeated calling Him the Archangel in Desire of Ages and other books, certainly befog her 1897 and 1898 statements regarding Jesus Deity. In Daniel and Revelation, page 341, Uriah Smith identified the angel of Rev 1:1, etc., as Gabriel. But Ellen made it to be Jesus Himself! Her error is manifest in the context of Rev 1:1; furthermore, the Greek word allos, used in Rev. 8:3, shows this angel the same kind as the seven angels of verse 2. In addition, in Rev. 19 the angel rebukes Johns attempt to worship him. "Trinity" quotes W.W. Prescott: "For a long time we believedthat Christ was created, in spite of what the Scripture says" (1919 Bible Conference p.62) D.M. Canright showed how Ellen synthesized the risen Jesus with her view of him as the angel Michael. In Life of Mrs. E.G. White, chapter 17, page 31, he tells of Dr. Kelloggs theory that the dead body would not be raised, but all that was left of a person at death was a record of his life kept in heaven, and a new body of

new matter was raised and made to think that it was the same person as the old one. When asked if she had light on this, Ellen declared the Lord shew her not a particle of the old body would ever be raised, but a new body of new material would be formed. Canright asked "How about Christs body which was raised?" She responded "He dropped it all when he ascended". She failed to recognize him as the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim 2:5 & Heb 7:24-25); and that in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form (Col 2:9).
Worse yet, her calling Christ an angel, namely Michael the Archangel, and affirming his body dropped off at his ascension, denies He is returning in the flesh. The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 4, p. 860 and vol. 7, p. 706, holds her view that Christ is the Archangel who comes from heaven for his saints. Here we must note 2nd John 7: "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who deny Christ is coming in the flesh, this is the deceiver and the antichrist".

Scripture attests Jesus bodily resurrection and ascension, that He will return in like manner, He is the fullness of the Godhead bodily;, He is the man Christ Jesus in heaven today; we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh; and when he returns we will be like him; receiving glorified resurrection bodies. Ellens making Him an angel, makes him to be a spirit, and denies He is coming in the flesh, which makes her both a false prophet, and anti-Christ against Christ Himself. Obviously the light did not get brighter for Ellen. SDAs largely took the Trinity doctrine because it was Biblical, despite Ellens anti-Trinitarian statements over the years. Yet, for almost 2000 years the Orthodox church has held to the Trinity, while combating heresies in every century-especially in this end of the Church age, when apostasy is so rampant. The Biblical view is so plain, that since 1931 it became the official position of the SDA Church, though the Arian views were not expunged from their books, and Ellens writings. Her vision that Satan was in full possession of the churches, all their prayers and professions are an abomination to God has been upheld, though her words are categorical indictment of the Trinity!

Rev 3:14 "the beginning (source) of the creation of God" changed to "who is in charge of Gods creation" Rom 10:9,10 omits "that Jesus is LORD (Yhwh)"; "you shall be saved" changed: "you have the relation you need" With SDAs heavily promoting Ellens infallible and canonical interpretive gift, and with such a gross perversion of the Bible, that so freely and heavily rewrites it to include Ellens unorthodox views, including her denial of Jesus absolute deity and the Trinity, and with SDAs yet upholding as members those who deny these essential articles from their statement of faith, actively destroying them, to support Ellens false views, it is only a matter of time before the whole denomination will revert to the Christ debasing positions they once held for 60 years!
