Jesus could have prevented the flaws, discrepancies in the Bible but He chose not to. He allowed them. Thus, they are inspired. No part of the Bible is uninspired.

The SOP was necessary to guide the SDA Church; otherwise, Jesus would not have employed Ellen White to share His thoughts. To say the SOP is not necessary is to say Jesus erred. No one has arrived at all 28 Fundamental Beliefs on their own without the guidance of the SOP.

Very well put brother, Amen.

Yes she did, but if she was not to used in deciding the truth then why would God send her? Why did He inspire here to write over 5 times as much information than what is provided in scripture? God knew we would need her writings to be prepared and to have ample support in seeing who is truly inspired in the end.

You have heard of the "seven thunders" of Rev? God showed her what those thunders were. God gave a prophet to see it first through John, He gave a prophet in Mrs White to understand what they were, and a people in the last days to receive the fulfillment of the seven thunders.

These things were not written by John in the bible for a reason. They were not completely written out by Mrs White in the Spirit of prophecy either, but just enough evidence is given to look for it's fulfillment by God's people in the last days IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE PREPARATION OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY!

This is what Deuteronomy 13:2 says Sister, "and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them, 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

You are being tested.

Did I say that underlined part??

No, indeed it is not like that, but thoughts that were inspired!

It's OK Brother. I laughed when I saw your last response. :0

I hear it in the form of words some times. So you were right about some of the Prophecies. They did hear words sometimes.

Samuel was a child and He heard the still small voice call his name.

Those at the Baptism of Jesus who were not considered prophets exactly but were being prepared by the Spirit of Prophecy to receive the truth, heard the voice of God the Father speak. The others heard an earthquake. etc.

So you should not be embarrassed Colin.

??? Deut 13;2 says the signs of this [false]prophet that is leading you away from the Lord did come to pass. The sign is not an indication of whether this person is inspired or not. It is true that a true prophet's sign will come to pass, but for most, they wouldn't be able to see it fulfill in their lifetime. The point is, since Deut 13:2 says that false prophet's sign can also come to pass, so we shouldn't be looking for fulfillments of signs as an indication if a prophet is inspired or not.

James, can you answer the question? How can you tell which prophet is inspired?

I really doubt you can and I doubt that anyone on this forum can. I wouldn't of been able to tell either when I was presented this. It showed me how little I knew the law(Torah) and the testimony(manner of keeping it) from which to test all prophets or doctrines.

This is how the house of Judah failed the test which for the majority it cost them their life for they couldn't tell that Jeremiah was actually talking in the manner of the Law. They followed the prophet that talked of the manner of "another god that they hast not known"(in the time of the wilderness experience with Moses). It is only by knowing the Torah that anyone can discern if someone is truly speaking accordingly and is inspired or not.

Now that I have emphasized what we already should know, I'm sure you still wouldn't be able to tell us which law Jeremiah was speaking accordingly and Hananiah was not, despite knowing all the history and having the testimonies of Jesus, the disciples and Paul.

This is to prove to us all how little we know the Law(Torah) by which is the expression of the Lord's character, mind, will, and plan to save us all.

In Deuteronomy 13:2 it is saying that if a man says "let us worship other god's" this proves they are not prophets even if they do miracles.

Now do you get it?

You are using scripture out of context.

If they speak not according to these words then there is no light in them.
