Bible Tests #1 & #2 - Prophecies Must Be Fulfilled and Cannot Contain Falsehood
"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him."
— Deuteronomy 18:22
"Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD.... The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart."
— Jeremiah 23:32, 14:14
The articles below present evidence regarding Ellen White's visions:
- They contain falsehoods, thus they cannot be from God
- Prophecies were not fulfilled, thus she failed the first test of a prophet
- They contain knowledge obtained from others
- Reasonable explanations exist for many of the miraculous stories
"When God gives you clear evidence that the vision is from Him, you may accept it, but do not accept it on any other evidence."
— Ellen G. White, The Review and Herald, May 25, 1905
