Ellen White and SDA Material on the Character of God

Introduction

This page lists other pages on this site that contain material from the writings of Mrs. Ellen G. White. Use these pages to see collections of statements, read articles dealing with specific statements, discuss a difficult point or even find that quote you have been looking for. Also, please see the page giving the history of the character of God message – some surprising material there.

Note: that this area is separate from the rest of the site and is accessible via https://characterofgod.org/egw/ – the page you are presently on. Feel free to share this readily with those who appreciate the writings of Ellen White. To those who visit the main portion of this website, these pages will not be visible nor will they see any links to here. The reason is to have the site as non-SDA appearing as is reasonably possible to minimize any prejudging of the character of God message that this site promotes due to a bias some may have against Seventh-day Adventist material. Thank you for understanding.

EGW and the Timing of the Resurrection

While Ellen White wrote in some places of a Sunday resurrection, the Life of Christ Research Project and other comments of hers leaves the door open to a different possibility. The links below are for more information regarding Jesus’ resurrection and how Ellen White’s writings actually support a Sabbath resurrection.

History of the Character of God Issue

History of understanding of the character of God issue. Additional material from SDA history and the writings of Ellen White that is relevant to the history of the character of God issue. If you have any information to help fill in the blanks please let me know.

Statements showing that the writers of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary had some understanding of the permissive idiom. This corresponds to the many students of scripture who, over the centuries, also understood that God was often said to do what He allowed or permitted.

“The last rays of merciful light, the last message
of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation
of His character of love.” (COL 415)
