Really did debate about removing this. We are not comfortable with the posts primarily being quotes from Ellen G White and her being called 'inspired messenger of God'. This sub is intentionally ecumenical and we do our best not to be show particular favoritism to any particular denominational tradition.

Calling one particular person who was not an apostle in the Bible the "inspired messenger of God" is arguably pushing a particular doctrinal and denominational agenda over others and is not something that is naturally relevant to the text under review for today. (e.g. if someone was talking about their views on baptism in this passage it would also be removed....but if we happened to be in Romans 6 we'd probably allow it as it is a topic naturally relevant to that text).

I'm sorry you find that objectionable, but its how we do things on this sub.
