My wife comes from a Charismatic background. I told her I had issues with the Charismatic movement. So do lots of people. I had a book about the problems that I asked her to read. I thought it would be a good way to open up discussion and study the issue. Looking at different positions and...

Yes. I can't compete with Ellen White's ability to add and take away from scripture. I especially appreciated the subtle addition to scripture in this claim of hers: as long as people obey God and eat from the tree which sustains their life then there would be no death. God didn't say that...
