Show me from scriptures the above.

Here are some scriptures for that.

Ellen White	Holy Bible
DA 531 "In Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underived."	Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. Yea, before the day was I am... (Isaiah 43:10-11,13)
In Jesus is our life derived.	For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. (Psalm 36:9) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6)
In Him is life, that is original, unborrowed, underived life.	Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (John 8:58) ...Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:17-18)
In Him is the fountain of life.	Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Rosangela, you're talking like a trinitarian: we as a church didn't used to talk like that or believe like that, as trinitarianism has to be assumed from the Bible as it is not found in it; hence, our church used to be non-trinitarian, formally till 1980 but at least till Ellen White died and all who agreed with her eventually died, too.

Jn 5:26 cannot refer to Christ's incarnation, since he pre-existed as God's Son, as a divine person: nevertheless, as God's Son - even before Bethlehem - his, too, is the fulness of the Godhead. Why specify anything further to try to prove the point when nothing further except a trinitarian formula of "musts" can be named. Yes, trinitarian definitions can be unbiblical, whether untrue or simply delving into the unknown and unknowable.

The essence of the Godhead isn't community or eternity or self-existence: it's holiness, with aspects that belong to that.

Tx GC, Sorry but I cannot comment now, nor post for the next two weeks.

Colin, I'm talking about the meaning of a word according to the dictionary, both now and at Ellen White's time. And I'm talking about an attribute of God: God is not originated by anyone. If any being is originated by anyone, this being cannot be called God.

I disagree, since Christ was speaking specifically of His work as the Messiah. The meaning is that, even as a human being, Christ had life in Himself; He gave life to His own body. The gospel of John speaks clearly about that in several passages.

"For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man."

If that was the case, the holy angels could belong to the Godhead.

The Jews had never before heard such words from human lips, and a convicting influence attended them; for it seemed that divinity flashed through humanity as Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." The words of Christ were full of deep meaning as he put forth the claim that he and the Father were of one substance, possessing the same attributes.--The Signs of the Times, Nov. 27, 1893, p. 54.

If the Holy Spirit is an impersonal presence, and if Jesus isn't eternal in the same sense the Father is, well, then, that means the Father existed for an eternity by Himself. And, since Jesus created everything, that means the Father existed for an eternity all by Himself in a void and empty universe. I prefer to believe the Father, Son, and Spirit have cohabited for eternity, which I also happen to believe is the truth. The idea the Father existed all alone in a universe devoid of anything is too depressing to think about.

Okay, but also in his pre-existence. Jn 3:16 says God gave his pre-existing, begotten Son, and Phil 2:6 refers to that pre-existence, while the Old Testament also knows of the Son of God and speaks reverently and in awe of him. That calls for faith, not trinitarian formulas.

As for holy angels, who allowed them to be equal to their holy Creator??? Please don't be facetious.

On self-existence, of course he's divine: Jn 1:1 and Ps 2:7,12, and other texts. Jesus' begotten Sonship is a mystery; yet, it confirms his divinity rather than denying it, as he is God of God. It may begin his existence as the Son of God, but it continues his deity as the Word of God.

Only with the trinitarian thinking in our church, really the latter half of the 20th century, the co-existence theory of Christ's divine pre-existence arose. Being the begotten Son of God from "the days of eternity" (NOT just Adventists teach this) doesn't limit his deity, just his existence as the Son among his other pre-existent identities, such as Michael, the Word, which he is from the beginning.

Seems to me Rosangela is talking about this the same as EGW.
