Where exactly are these statements in the writings of EGW and/or etc? - 04/28/11 02:36 AM
Sometimes an SDA makes a statement about something they read in the writings of EGW but without citing the reference. When this is a paraphrase, or worse a mere thought expression, it is further hard to actually locate it even using a computer search of her writings. (This may also be applicable to the Bible, or other Biblical/Biblically pertinent works)
So this thread could help in this regards.
(1) My first two statements is the repeated claim by David Asscherick alongs the line that ‘EGW said in DA that soon after Moses’ death God suddenly so missed Moses that He raised Him up’. I have now heard it twice from Him but without any specific reference. [He also has not replied to my email requesting the specific reference] (His DA claim may also be an inaccuracy in terms of the actual SOP book.)
(2) My second request here is in regards to a statement by an SDA Pastor (or Elder?) during GYC 2010, Eric Walsh, if I recall exactly, that EGW said that: ‘it was because the Church did not pray as fervently for Paul during his last imprisonment in Rome, as they had for Peter at his earlier imprisonment when then an angel was sent to miraculously deliver him, that Paul died in that captivity,’ i.e., as he implied Paul actually died prematurely and because of this slighting by Church Members.
Hopefully someone here can locate these two specific references, if they are actually valid. My varied and many computer searches have revealed nothing.
