Is “Christian Service” a compilation from the writings of Ellen White?

Does the book The Great Controversy follow any one particular book of the Bible?
The book The Great Controversy does not follow one single book of the Bible in sequence. It is structured around the theme of the great conflict between Christ and Satan in history and prophecy, so it brings together different parts of Scripture into one complete picture. Many readers sense this intuitively: Ellen White’s book does not move “from Genesis to Revelation” page by page. Instead, there is a historical-prophetic line: […]

all quotations about the unequal yoke from Ellen White’s Testimonies for the Church

In Testimonies for the Church, Ellen White returns to this subject more than once, but when it comes to "all quotations," it is important to be precise and not attribute words to the author without checking a specific edition or electronic text. When a person asks for "all quotations about the unequal yoke from […]

How can I get all the quotations from the 9 volumes of Testimonies for the Church correctly?
The honest answer: it is impossible to present “all quotations” from 9 volumes correctly without a verified text. If this refers to the full set of Testimonies for the Church, then this is essentially the entire content of a multivolume edition, which requires an exact source, verification of the translation, and careful bibliographic formatting. In such a request, it is important to combine truthfulness, respect for the source, and a Christian spirit. In church ministry, one should not […]

Exact quotations require an exact source. To present them correctly in a Ukrainian-language edition, it is important not to invent wording, page numbers, or bibliographic data, but to verify them against a specific book or PDF.

In theological, academic, or […]

Ellen White warned that marriage requires not only feelings, but also spiritual unity in obedience to God. When it comes to a union between an Adventist and a representative of another Christian denomination, her counsel is mostly cautionary in nature, because she places faithfulness to Christ, biblical truth, and unity in practical Christian living first. In the writings of Ellen G. White there is no formula that […]

Why is Belshazzar called a son in the Bible, while Ellen White writes that he was a grandson?
There is no contradiction here. The biblical word “son” often means a descendant more broadly than the modern word “son.” Ellen White is not correcting the Bible—she is clarifying the meaning for the modern reader.

What is the Ukrainian translation of Ellen White’s quote about the Bible as the voice of God?
“The Bible is the voice of God speaking to us just as surely as though we heard it with our own ears” (My Life Today, p. 283). This thought by Ellen White emphasizes that when a person opens Scripture, they encounter not merely a book, but the living God.
