Actually neither Eph. 2:15 nor Col. 2:14 is really nailing any law to the cross. This is Bacchiocchi's interpretation (which was a disservice to the church's position and is now widely spread in our ranks), not Ellen White's interpretation. [the Jewish community had a lot of rules that excluded Gentiles from full involvement in their worship] Yes, and some of these rules were contained in the law of Moses (Ex 12:48, Deut. 23:3). Seems like certain people equate the gold medal Bacchiochi was issued by the pope himself with inspiration.
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."

There were some changes made at the Cross, that is certain. But prophets continued to prophesy after the Cross, even in Bible times. This is how we have the New Testament with its many prophecies and words of inspiration. If there were ever a cutoff time in which God ceased to inspire prophets to encourage and instruct His people, He has never indicated so. To the contrary, Jesus said "And lo, I am with you alway, even to the end of the world." John chapter 14 sheds light on His manner of being with us until then.
Blessings,
Green Cochoa.
That is correct! God's prophetic utterances were not nailed to the cross! Malachi 4 promises that God would send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: What does that mean? Well, Jesus showed us a partial fulfilment which gives us a clue as to what this means. Matt. 11:7 Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John [the Baptist], What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come.The coming of Elijah before the coming of the Lord, was first fulfilled by John the Baptist preparing the way for people to accept Christ at His first coming. Likewise a prophet is sent to prepare people for the second coming of Christ.

Somebody posted this on Facebook:
My point being that so many people reject the messenger of God EGW because they don't want to hear anything unless its read in the bible... so they try to under mind the value of a prophet by saying forget the prophet we only need the bible so we will only believe what the bible teach's.
But then when they realize that the bible teach's that we must believe the prophets, and must get secret information from the prophets, and that a church in the last days has a "spirit of prophecy" and that there is revelation to prophets that only deal with last day events... it sort of rocks their world and confronts them with a decision to make about prophets and prophesying, because if the bible teach's that there is a spirit of prophecy in the last days, and that secret information is given to the prophets and God does nothing with out revealing it to His prophets then that causes a conflict with the mind set that says the bible and the bible only, however it should not because it is the bible who is teaching what is known about belief in a prophet and it is the bible who endorses the value of a prophet, and it is the bible who validates the information by a true prophet as being the proper route of revelation through which God communicates what God is doing.
You know the bible can not possibly teach everything in specific words and thats why a prophet is needed.. For instance... You can gain a principle in the bible about not smoking or not drinking caffine or taking drugs like crack or what ever... but you need spiritual insite to learn this, that sometimes is given to us by our own relationship to God, but it can be given to us thru a prophet.
Somebody? What a coincidence. The same style, the same typos, the same errors, the same message as Elle.
