Serious allegations and
sensitivity!
“There is no excuse for anyone in
taking the position that there is no
more truth to be revealed, and that all
our expositions of Scripture are
without an error.”

“Age will not make error into truth,
and truth can afford to be fair. No true
doctrine will lose anything by close
investigation.”
Sanctuary is not simply
about typology!
“The fact that certain doctrines have
been held as truth for many years by
our people, is not a proof that our
ideas are infallible.
Ellen G. White, Counsels to Writers and Editors, 35.

“ When the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was a delight
to the eyes, and that the tree was
desirable to make one wise, she took
from its fruit and ate; and she gave also
to her husband with her, and he ate.
It is a state! A condition that is
contrary to God and His
precepts!
