Ellen G. White’s Attitude Toward Her Work

6. Relationship of E. G. White Writings to Bible

The lesser light: “Little heed is given to the Bible, and the Lord has given a lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light.”—The Review and Herald, January 20, 1903 (Colporteur Ministry, 125). EGWATHW 2.3

Tested by the Bible: “The Spirit was not given—nor can it ever be bestowed—to supersede the Bible; for the Scriptures explicitly state that the Word of God is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested.... Isaiah declares, ‘To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.’ Isaiah 8:20.”—Great Controversy, “Introduction,” p. vii. EGWATHW 2.4
