What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Is the earth Adam's mother?"
Answer
According to the Scriptures, Adam was formed directly by God from the dust of the earth, with God breathing the breath of life into him. The earth is described as the material from which he was taken and to which he should return after the fall, but not as his \"mother\". Eve, on the other hand, is explicitly called the \"mother of all living\".
The Creation of Adam from the Earth
»The Lord, God, formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils; and man became a living soul.“«
»To Adam the Lord said: ‘... cursed be the ground because of you; with sorrow you shall eat of it all your life... in the sweat of your face you shall eat your bread, until you return to the earth; for from it you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.’“«
»Finally God created Eve, the mother of all living. The work of the Creator was now completed. ‘Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their host.’“«
»After the earth had been created and the animals upon it, the Father and the Son carried out their intention... to create man in their image. ... When Adam emerged from the hand of his Creator, he was of noble stature and beautiful symmetry.“«
»By adapting the Father and the Mother of our race to his own nature, [Satan] thought to establish his empire here.“«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
