I bought a paperback of _The Great Controversy_ in a mall bookstore in Tallahassee, Florida in 1974. I read it in about one week. Thirty days after I finished the book I received a flier in the mail announcing a series of lectures on the Bible. The series lasted 5 weeks and at the end I was baptized. I kept noting how the evangelist echoed what I had read in the book. The Lord opened the way for me to accept our message through Mrs. White's book.

I read The Great Controversy and it started my journey on studying God's word and wanting to become a Seventh Day Adventist.

I just started reading The Great Controversy and I couldn’t stop reading it. I got to the end of ch. 1. Whew so much to take in. I thank God for Ellen Whites Writings so amazing to read and unlock scriptures also learning so much about history WOW!! Praise God !! thank you Lineage for your amazing content. ❤

Thank you brother for the video, really appreciate what you all are doing :). I am currently giving out copies of this book when I can. I don't know if all the people take the time to read it but I hope that they do. Thank God for His mercy and goodness toward us. Be faithful to the end, God bless ~

Amen, I had shared the same during camp meeting, am glad to see the scenes where this took place, be blessed.

Not the Great Hope; It's The Great Controversy.

This is powerful. May we go through any suffering in order to give the message that God has given us!

Though Satan tried to silence the witness, the Lord triumphed! May the Lord help us to be faithful to God, to cherish His word, His Spirit of Prophecy, and to share without fear or summarised versions, the Great Controversy!

Amen I learned a lot in this book the Doctrine of the Earthly Sanctuary as a pattern of Heavenly Sanctuary. The amazing biblical details described in the ministry of the work done in the Sanctuary.

Very informative & motivating. Praise GOD!

This book is excellent. It is responsible for the conversion of two atheists who are well-known members of our church: David Asscherick and Sebastian Braxton. My top 3 favorite Ellen White books are Steps to Christ, Great Controversy, and Education.

Thanks for the interesting episodes about Ellen White's life and writings. Blessings.

Obra fundamental para o entendimento da Promessa de Redenção contida no Livro Sagrado.

Amen!

Bible is the best

Praise God!

Amen

Where can I order the book

On page 136; Ellen says; Wesley says; "The moral law, contained in the Ten Commandments and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away," 3 other places the 10 C.s are mentioned as the 10 C.s; is Ex 34:28; Deut. 4:13; Deut. 10:4. Is Deut. 10:4; enforcement? Then what's up with 2 Cor. 3:7? Is this Pauls' description of the 10 C.s; and this does not seem like enforcement. And finally; does Ellen describe "Sunday" as AOK to "God"; 5 times in DA?

I read one of her books and impressed me so much that inspired me to become a Seventh-day Adventist.

Hola

Some people read The Great Controversy and think it is about the protestant reformation - especially the reforms of the sixteenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - and about how the concept of liberty of conscience eventually led (in the eighteenth century) to the creation of a new form of government dedicated to both religious and civil liberty. Other people read that same book and think it is about the creation, in the mid-nineteenth century, of a new religion based on the visions of a young woman. My parents and I were in the group described in the first paragraph above. Which means that my parents thought of themselves - and I still think of myself - as protestant and as patriots - not so much in the sense of being dedicated to a country or even to the present government of a country (whatever the current government may be) but dedicated to an idea - the idea that we don’t need monarchs or aristocrats or clergy to tell us what to believe and what to do. On the way home from worship services, one or the other of my parents sometimes said that no sermon was worthwhile except one that inspired us to go home and study our Bibles for ourselves. It wasn’t until 2008 that I heard people who are described by the second paragraph above say they weren’t protestants. It wasn’t until 2016 or ‘17 that I heard such people say that the United States is the antithesis of everything that is good and right. Those things, by themselves, would be significant problems but another problem is that The Great Controversy was first published in 1888 - a time when the majority of United States citizens not only abhorred popery but taught their children to do the same. The Great Controversy can be understood as a warning about what may happen if protestants fail to inculcate protestant principles - and the ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution - from one generation to the next. One of the basic doctrines of the papacy is that laity cannot determine the meaning of Scripture without someone with spiritual authority to explain it to them - and that spiritual authority is obtained only through ordination by the hierarchy of a religious organization. It seems to me that most of the people who subscribe to the five solae, if they have pondered those principles enough to think they are worth promoting, would benefit from reading The Great Controversy. (Please search the Internet under “the five solae” if you don't know what they are.) On the other hand, if you live in a part of the world (as my wife and I do) where most people don’t even know what the five solae are, most of your neighbors would benefit more from reading Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing (first published in 1896), Desire of Ages (first published in 1898) or Christ’s Object Lessons (first published in 1900). If you haven’t recently, please read those books again and let us know which of them would be most likely to help a non-Christin fall in love with Jesus. Of the books Ellen White had written up until 1888, The Great Controversy may very well have been the book that would have done the most good for the highest number of the adventists’ neighbors in the late 1880s or in the 1890s. Most of our neighbors in the twenty-first century, however, not only don’t have the perspective of the majority of U.S. citizens of the nineteenth century and are thus not capable of appreciating that book, there is significant danger that, if they read it, they will misunderstand - and thus misrepresent - the message of that book. One of the principles of Bible interpretation employed by the adventists of the nineteenth century was that some (mabe even most) prophecies are conditional. What do you think you would have done if you had been a resident of Nineveh when Jonah was preaching that Nineveh would be destroyed? Do you think you would have left town to avoid being destroyed along with the city? Or do you think you would have repented and urged your neighbors to repent so as to avert the disaster? If you had been alive after forty days had passed and the city wasn’t destroyed, would you have said that Jonah was a false prophet? Or would you have complained to God that he had failed to keep his promise? If you interpret The Great Controversy the way many adventists do, do you think we have a responsibility to at least try to teach people the principles of religious liberty as inculcated in that book so as to mitigate or postpone the events you expect to occur? Or do you pray every day that those events will occur as soon as possible so you can say, “I told you so.”

Ellen White did not see nor report of that un-seen, un-paying guest on that train. It was just added by the narrators as they imagined.

Her writings were more then the pages of the Holy Bible. Where does she fit in, why is she needed? We have the Bible. Plus God's Holy Spirit, that was given to us at pentacost.

The Great Controversy Between Christ and His Angels, and Satan and His Angels." CHAPTER 1 The Fall of Satan The Lord has shown me that Satan was once an honored angel in heaven, next to Jesus Christ. His countenance was mild, expressive of happiness like the other angels. His forehead was high and broad, and showed great intelligence. His form was perfect. He had noble, majestic bearing. And I saw that when God said to his Son, Let us make man in our image, Satan was jealous of Jesus. He wished to be consulted concerning the formation of man. He was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. He wished to be the highest in heaven, next to God, and receive the highest honors. Until this time all heaven was in order, harmony and perfect subjection to the government of God. First Edition of The Great Controversy 1858 Published by James White

Revelation 12:17-> And the Dragon was wroth with the woman,and went to make war with The Remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God,and have the testimony of Jesus Christ ..☝️

The Reformers would unanimously anathematize all today's Adventists, do not try to act, like you have some 'lineage' or support in them.

Once i saw the focus on a false prophet i knew this channel was in error Ellen white isn’t a prophet of the Lord of Host She at best can be a servant inly and to actually take her writings equal to tye word of God os blaspheme I pray that all who think she is equal to the men of God who were actual prophets and actually called to convey the word of God for the kingdom, repent - repent . God bless those who reject any false prophets

Ellen white is the lastdays prophet and the witness of Jesus of us

Amen!
