Opinion of Ellen G. White

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I figured as probably the only Adventist on here, I should do this poll at some point.

I vote Neutral.  She was a good teacher, but I don't think her interpretation of the Bible was any more authoritative than any other teacher's, and I would only consider her a prophet in the sense that she brought a lot of people to God through books like Desire of Ages and Steps to Christ (not necessarily to the Adventist church, but just to faith in Jesus.)

[politicus]

FF in the sense that she fought for her beliefs and values. Especially being an abolitionist and arguing the equality of all races at a time when that was far from the established truth. Her thoughts on health care and education were also quite progressive.

I am surprised that someone voted HP. Besides having a negative view on masturbation (which most Christians did at her time), I cant see anything unlikable about her views.  

But maybe its the "false prophet" thing.

Yeah her failed prophecies probably turned some off. Also I'm sure Catholics aren't too fond of her.
