A Prophet Among You

SUMMARY

1. The call to the prophetic office did not mean that from the time of the call God controlled every thought and word of the prophet. APAY 410.2

2. In Ellen White’s case the indication is that what was written or spoken under inspiration bears its own credentials, whether in the spiritual nature of what was spoken or written, or by some such indication as “I was shown.” APAY 410.3

3. Mrs. White makes no distinction regarding inspiration between what was published in books or articles, or what was written in letters, except in cases of purely biographical matters or other everyday incidents. APAY 410.4

4. In the letters it is not difficult to distinguish what is given as instruction from personal references. APAY 410.5

5. In cases of interviews, if Ellen White had light on the subjects discussed she wrote it out for the benefit of all. APAY 410.6

6. Regarding inspiration, Ellen White made no difference between items left unpublished and those published. APAY 410.7

7. As “all Scripture” is profitable for our study today, so all the Ellen White writings are of value for our study. APAY 410.8
