Certainly we need to repeat the statement with sufficient background to let people know who it was who said it and what his inclination was. Yet, describing it as "dishonest" means that you KNOW of a certainty that the one who repeated it was fully aware of this context yet intentionally disregarded it to fool someone.<br /><br />People don't need the testimony of Bement to know how good THE DESIRE OF AGES is. All they have to do is read it.<br /><br />Bement's statement reveals that he was NOT merely speaking for himself. He ended his statement by saying, "I will say that the Desire of Ages is well thought of in the Library of Congress."<br /><br />Ellen G.

It is a version of the saying by Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms when asked to recant his writings: "Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against [one's own] conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."<BR/><BR/>It's my understanding from my own research that Ellen White's writings seriously misrepresent Luther. Furthermore, I'm not sure that Luther would have agreed with SDA theology. Ironic, then, to call an SDA-based show "Here We Stand".<BR/><BR/>Just one person's opinion...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10270506.post-1519345167079724142007-09-16T22:42:00.000-07:002007-09-16T22:42:00.000-07:00One really has to wonder about D.B..
