Quote:
The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels' messages. It was not best for the people to know these things, for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths would be proclaimed. The first and second angels' messages were to be proclaimed, but no further light was to be revealed before these messages had done their specific work. This is represented by the Angel standing with one foot on the sea, proclaiming with a most solemn oath that time should be no longer. {1MR 99.3}

How do you know her understanding of the seven thunders is correct? How do you know it is incorrect?

I personally readily understand that if something is properly proven from the Bible and it contradicts what EGW has said, then as she counsels, the Bible is to be taken as the final authority. However, as already stated, from my observations, such actual “contradictions” are rare whereas one will find more “updated truths” which supercede what was “present truth” for her. Yet both views will still be in spiritual harmony, as in the three possible applications to Christ Olivet Discourse (i.e., Present Day (through 70 A.D.) | Church History | Eschatological Age).

Please, people, read page 6 and 7 of the following article - it fully demonstrates that once Sister White has spoken the matter is officially at rest.

That is fairly clear I would say....
...As clear as the point Collin made above.

The example simply shows they are following EGW's counsel, it does NOT show they place her above the Bible.

You wrote, "such actual 'contradictions' are rare". Please cite examples of her actually contradicting the Bible.

Post #130896 - Sister White violently contradicts the so called Bible...
...Our whole Sanctuary Truth is based off that contradiction.
...And remains fundamental to our denominations life.
