What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What exactly does 2 Corinthians 10 talk about? I don't understand it well."
Answer
The provided writings particularly address the core message of 2 Corinthians 10:4‑5: The Christian battle is not fought with worldly or fleshly weapons, but with spiritual means through the power of God. This spiritual service is intended to tear down human pride, deceptive reasoning, and fortresses of arrogance, so that the mind is wholly submitted to the obedience of Christ.
Spiritual Weapons and the Obedience of the Mind to Christ
»“(For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to destroy fortresses;) by tearing down imaginations and every lofty thing that rises against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” This means that what we idolize as human reason is simply folly. “Since they considered themselves wise, they became fools.” Thus idolized human reason, separated from the Lord, is merely folly. If people want to judge rightly, they must surrender themselves into the hands of God, whose power works within them, so that He may guide their thinking.«
Weapons of the Gospel Instead of Worldly Arms
»Do these men and their followers arm themselves with the weapons of the Gospel? Do they show unconditional trust in the perfect law of God? Do they acknowledge that there is only one Lawgiver for the Christian? Do they hear Paul say, “The weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to destroy fortresses”? ... Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may stand against the schemes of the devil. Why? – “For we do not fight against flesh and blood.” No; that is not the calling of the followers of Jesus.«

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.
