Ellen Gould White über: "What does Ellen White write about bathing in public places of recreation?"
Answer
The provided documents contain no explicit statement or specific guidelines from Ellen White regarding bathing in public places of recreation. The texts generally deal with the selection of morally strengthening leisure activities, the necessity of modesty, and the avoidance of worldly amusements that could corrupt character.
It is emphasized that recreation should refresh the spirit and strengthen the body, rather than lead to thoughtlessness or a weakening of moral forces. However, a direct mention of bathing in public is not found in these quotations.
Examination of Leisure Activities and Morality
»Ask yourselves: Are your recreations such that they impart moral and spiritual strength? Do they lead to purity in thought and conduct? Impurity is widespread today, even among professed followers of Christ... Many eagerly partake in worldly, demoralizing amusements that God's Word forbids. Thus they sever their connection to God and align themselves with the world's pleasure-seekers.«
Modesty and Christian Contrast
»I feel compelled by the Spirit of the Lord to urge my sisters who profess godliness to practice modesty in conduct and maintain appropriate restraint with shamefulness and sobriety... How important it is that the class which claims to be followers of Christ... stands in clear contrast through its chastity and virtue to that class which is controlled by animal passions!«
Purpose of Recreation and Physical Strengthening
»While we strive to refresh our spirit and strengthen our bodies, God requires us to use all our strength at all times for the best purpose. We can and should shape our recreation in such a way that we are better equipped for the successful fulfillment of the duties entrusted to us... We can return home from such occasions improved in spirit and refreshed in body.«
