The Great Controversy

Product Information

The position that it is of no consequence what men believe is one of Satan's most successful deceptions. He knows that the truth, received in the love of it, sanctifies the soul of the receiver; therefore he is constantly seeking to substitute false theories, fables, another gospel. From the beginning the servants of God have contended against false teachers, not merely as vicious men, but as inculcators of falsehoods that were fatal to the soul. Elijah, Jeremiah, Paul, firmly and fearlessly opposed those who were turning men from the word of God. That liberality which regards a correct religious faith as unimportant found no favor with these holy defenders of the truth. GC 520.2

Last of all, we are told of the eternal and glorious victory of good over evil, right over wrong, light over darkness, joy over sorrow, hope over despair, glory over shame, life over death, and everlasting, long-suffering love over vindictive hate. GC iv.2 The 1884 book was reaching beyond the ranks of Seventh-day Adventists. Yet the terminology and, in some cases, the content was directed largely to Adventists. Expressions familiar to Adventists were sometimes incomprehensible to the ordinary reader. Also, some subjects were too briefly treated because the readers were expected to be familiar with them. Some adaptation of wording seemed desirable and also changing of the verb tense from present to past. [11] The Bible helps make these moral struggles clear. It tells how each of us are caught in an epic battle between good and evil.

Much of this history had passed before her in vision but not all the details and not always in precise sequence. In a statement read on October 30, 1911, carrying Ellen's written endorsement, W. C. White said: The Bible’s book of Revelation remains one of the mysteries in Christianity. And within that book, there is much discussion over the power that is against Christ, referred to as the “antichrist.” The 1911 Edition of "The Great Controversy": An Explanation of the Involvements of the 1911 Revision While God has given ample evidence for faith, He will never remove all excuse for unbelief. All who look for hooks to hang their doubts upon will find them. And those who refuse to accept and obey God's word until every objection has been removed, and there is no longer an opportunity for doubt, will never come to the light.

Introduction

Ellen G. White® Books and Pamphlets In Current Circulation(With Date of First Publication) Updated February 2012 The next time someone tells me that LGBT people are shoving their opinions down people’s throats, I’ll tell them to choke on it then because I don’t remember a queer organization canvassing entire towns and even states at people’s homes with books they didn’t ask for. “It’s not to try and force any religion down anybody’s throat,” my butt, Dwight Hall. Yeah, the CEO and founder of Remnant Publications seriously had the gall to claim that after bothering the entire town of Denver, Colorado. All you’ve done is annoy and maybe even scare some queer folks in Portland just like myself. But go off about how much you love the sinner hate the sin and all that. While working to complete the book in 1884, White wrote, "I want to get it out as soon as possible, for our people need it so much... . I have been unable to sleep nights, for thinking of the important things to take place... . Great things are before us, and we want to call the people from their indifference to get ready." But ultimately, the choice is ours. It’s up to us whose side we take in the Great Controversy over God’s character.

The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers.... And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?” 1 Peter 3:12, 13. When Balaam, allured by the promise of rich rewards, practiced enchantments against Israel, and by sacrifices to the Lord sought to invoke a curse upon His people, the Spirit of God forbade the evil which he longed to pronounce, and Balaam was forced to exclaim: “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?”“Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!” When sacrifice had again been offered, the ungodly prophet declared: “Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a King is among them.”“Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Yet a third time altars were erected, and again Balaam essayed to secure a curse. But from the unwilling lips of the prophet, the Spirit of God declared the prosperity of His chosen, and rebuked the folly and malice of their foes: “Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.” Numbers 23:8, 10, 20, 21, 23; 24:9.

There’s always a point in our lives when we become increasingly curious about something in the future.fagot, “was converted into one vast, gloomy wilderness.” “These atrocities were enacted ... in no dark age, but When Satan was banished from Heaven he headed straight for Earth, accompanied by all the angels who followed him. He knew he was no match for God, so he cooked up a plan to get revenge. He wanted to cause God the most pain he could—by corrupting God’s new creations (Adam and Eve). If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raise Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9, ESV). In addition, Willie White, Ellen's son and agent, following Ellen's desires, sought helpful suggestions from others. He reported: More than likely, the book was distributed as a free gift from various supporting ministries of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This way, those who are interested in a spiritual perspective of the religious and political struggles of our world can study this information on their own time, at their own pace.
