What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "In the Letter to the Philippians, Paul mentions Evodia and Syntyche (Phil 4:2). Ellen White writes that these were not doctrinal disputes but personal disagreements. Does Ellen White write anything about how the disagreement was resolved and that a conflict arose that involved human moral reasons and stubbornness?"
Answer
In the provided documents there is no specific information about Evodia and Syntyche or the Letter to the Philippians. The texts primarily deal with doctrinal disputes in the history of the Adventist Church (such as the 1888 conference) and Ellen White's role as an advisor in such conflicts. Therefore there is no evidence in these citations that describe how the dispute between the two women was settled in detail or whether it was based on personal moral reasons.
Dealing with conflicts and human passions
“A difference in the application of a few passages leads people to forget their religious principles. Elements ally and, through human passions, incite each other to resist in a harsh, denunciatory manner everything that does not match their ideas. This is not Christian, but of another spirit.”
“To bring about unity and a certain measure of peace, Ellen White, who was staying in Europe, wrote to the disputants on both sides and pointed out their errors.”
“Her admonition and rebuke generally fell into two categories: concern about the man's personality and character flaws, as well as complaints about administrative errors...”
- Character flaws and conflict resolution
- Ellen White doctrinal controversies
- Unity in the congregation
