What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Please evaluate this post about Ellen White: Prophetess, but fallible human; her writings must be tested against the Bible, and not every sentence is directly inspired by God."
Answer
The provided quotes confirm that Ellen White never designated her writings as verbally inspired (word-for-word from God) and that she neither claimed infallibility nor considered the Bible the supreme standard for all teachings.
On the Nature and Meaning of Ellen White's Writings
»The Bible is not verbally inspired; and neither are the writings of Ellen G. White. In regard to infallibility, I never claimed it; God alone is infallible. His word is true, and in Him is no variableness or shadow of turning.«

»Although I am as dependent on the Spirit of God in my writing as in receiving it, yet the words I use in describing what I have seen are my own, unless spoken by an angel, which I always include in quotation marks.«

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.
