PLEASE CONSIDER THE QUOTES BELOW WHERE SIS WHITE SAID THE MESSAGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH WAS REJECTED AND DO NOT BE SURPRISED WHEN THE NEXT POST BELOW EXPLAINS THAT THE GOSPEL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHIN BY FAITH IS SADLY STILL REJECTED BY THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF SDA.
MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION
“The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders
Waggoner and Jones.” Ellen G. White, Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers,
pg. 91.
This message was the long looked for Loud Cry as Ellen G. White again testifies.
“The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in
the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin pardoning Redeemer. This is the
beginning of the light of the angel whose glory y shall fill the whole earth.” 1SM, pg. 363.
(Emphasis supplied).
“It is the third angel’s message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended
with the outpouring of His spirit in a large measure.” Ellen G. White, Testimonies to
Ministers and Gospel Workers, pg. 92. (Emphasis supplied).
That the church rejected the message is the teachings of the Spirit of Prophecy.
“The true religion, the only religion of the Bible, that teaches forgiveness only through
the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour, that advocates righteousness by the faith of
the Son of God, has been slighted, spoken against, ridiculed and rejected. It has been
denounced as leading to enthusiasm and fanaticism.” Ellen G. White, Testimonies to
Ministers and Gospel Workers, pg. 468. (Emphasis supplied).
The Spirit of Prophecy also teaches that the ministers rejected the message, and led the
church members to do so.
“I have tried to present the message to you as I have understood it, but how long will
those at the head of the work keep themselves aloof from the message of God?” Review
and Herald, March, 18th. 1890. (Emphasis supplied).
“If you do not see (the) light yourselves, you will close the door, if you can, you will
prevent the rays of light from coming to the people. Let it not be said of this highly
favored people, “They would not enter in themselves, and those who were entering they
hindered…” No one must be permitted to close the avenue whereby the light of truth
shall come to the people. As soon as this shall be attempted God’s Spirit will be
quenched.” (Ellen G. White, Sermon at Minneapolis Conference, MS 15, 1888).
Quoted from R. J. Wieland and D. K. Short, 1888 Re-Examined, pg. 35.
“Now I was saying what was the use of our assembling here together and for our
ministering brethren to come in if they are here only to shut out the Spirit of God from
the people?” (Ellen G. White, Sermon at Minneapolis Conference, October 24th.
1888; MS 9, 1888). Quoted from R. J. Wieland and D. K. Short, 1888 Re-Examined,
pg. 35.
“The very men who ought to be on the alert to see what the people of God need that the
way of The Lord may be prepared, are intercepting the light God would have come to His
people and rejecting the message of His healing Grace.” (Letter of Ellen G. White to
Miller Brothers, July 23rd. 1889). Ibid. pg. 36.
What a serious situation, imagine, members had been trusting their souls to ministers, and
it is the clergy itself that turned the people from the message. But why did the minister reject the message? Here is the answer Ellen G. White said.
“I saw that you willfully reject what you know to be truth, just because it was too
humiliating to your dignity…” Review and Herald, May, 7th. 1892.
“In 1888 at the General Conference held in Minneapolis, Minn. The angel of Rev. 18:1 came down to do his work, and was ridiculed criticized and rejected. And when the
message he brings again swells into a loud cry, it will again be ridiculed, spoken against
and rejected by the majority.” Ellen G. White, Taking up a Reproach. (Emphasis
supplied).
“There is to be in the churches a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will
not move upon those who have not humbled themselves before the Lord, and opened the
door of their hearts by confession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power which lightens the earth with the glory of God they will see something which will arouse
their fears, and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work
according to their expectations and ideas they will oppose the work. ‘Why,’ they say,
‘should we not know the Spirit of God when we have been in the work for so many
years?” Ellen G. White, Bible Training School, May, 1907.
