What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "You said that God hates Thomas Paine. I wrote that Karl Marx is intellectually demonic because he liked Satan and wrote poems about him. I do not consider that to be false."
Answer
The provided documents contain no statements about Karl Marx. Regarding Thomas Paine, the writings do not say that God hated him, but that Paine hated God and served Satan as a faithful instrument, with Satan dictating a large portion of Paine's writings to sow doubt about God's word.
Satan's Influence on Thomas Paine and His Writings
»He was so closely connected with Paine on earth and helped him in his work that it is easy for him to know exactly the words Paine used, and the exact handwriting of the one who served him so faithfully and carried out his intentions so well. Satan dictated a large portion of his writings, and now it is easy for him to dictate insights through his angels and make it appear as if they came from Thomas Paine, who in his lifetime was a devoted servant of evil. This is Satan's masterpiece. The fact that Satan claims that one whom he loved so much and whom God completely hated is now with the holy apostles and angels in glory should be enough to strip the veil from all senses and reveal to them the dark, mysterious works of Satan.«
The Deception about Paine's Life and Teachings
»Thomas Paine, whose body has now turned to dust and who is to appear at the end of the thousand years at the second resurrection to receive his reward and endure the second death, is portrayed by Satan as being in heaven and highly honored there. Satan used him on earth as long as he could, and now he continues the same work by presenting Thomas Paine as being so exalted and honored in heaven... And some, who looked upon his life and death and his corrupt teachings during his lifetime with horror, now bow to be taught by him – by one of the most detestable and depraved people, one who despised God and his law.«
