WHITE, ELLEN GOULD (HARMON) (1827–1915): The World and Everything in it is corrupt, diseased and not conformed to the Natural Ordinance... and it's OUR FAULT!!!
Here are a few links describing this very fact:
The following quotations were written OVER 100 YEARS AGO by the most prolific woman author of nonfiction in the US, Ellen White! (Notice the year written at the end of each quotation):
"Disease in cattle is making meat eating a dangerous matter...Disease is contracted by the use of meat. The diseased flesh of these dead carcasses is sold in the market places, and disease among men is the sure result.
"There is no safety in the eating of the flesh of dead animals, and in a short time the milk of the cows will also be excluded from the diet... In a short time it will not be safe to use anything that comes from the animal creation." (Written in 1898)
"Physicians who claim to understand the human organism ought not to encourage their patients to subsist on the flesh of dead animals. They should point out the increase of disease in the animal kingdom. The testimony of examiners is that very few animals are free from disease, and that the practice of eating largely of meat is contracting diseases of all kinds, -- cancers, tumors, tuberculosis and numbers of other like affections." (1897)
"Swine's flesh above all other flesh meats, produces a bad state of the blood. Those who eat freely of pork can not help but be diseased...The eating of pork has produced scrofula, leprosy and cancerous tumors. Pork eating is still causing the most intense suffering to the human race. (1865)
"The light given me is that it will not be very long before we shall have to give up using any animal food. Even milk will have to be discarded. Disease is accumulating rapidly...man has cursed the earth. The habits and practices of men have brought the earth into such a condition that some other food than animal food must be substituted for the human family. We do not need flesh food at all." (1899)
"Could you know just the nature of the meat you eat, could you see the animals when living from which the flesh is taken when dead, you would turn with loathing from your flesh meats. The very animals whose flesh you eat, are frequently so diseased that, if left alone, they would die of themselves; but while the breath of life is in them, they are killed and brought to market. You take directly into your system poison of the worst kind, and yet you don't realize it." (1870)
"Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, when the real cause is scarcely suspected by themselves or others. Some do not immediately feel its effects, but this is no evidence that it does not hurt them. It may be doing its work surely upon the system, yet for the time being the victim may realize nothing of it." (1890)
"In many places fish become so contaminated by the filth on which they feed as to be a cause of disease. This is especially the case where the fish come in contact with the sewage of large cities. The fish that are fed on the contents of the drains may pass into distant waters, and may be caught where the water is pure and fresh. Thus when used as food they bring disease and death on those who do not suspect the danger." (1905)

Who is this Ellen White?

>Shared by Edwin de Kock
>
>Artist Elfred Lee's Testimony of Rabbi Joe Kagan's Endorsement of Ellen
>G.
>White "I met Rabbi Joe Kagan at Weimar Institute in CA. His family had
>come
>from Eastern Europe where his aunt had been raped while a priest stood
>over
>her with a crucifix saying, "This is what you get for killing Christ." So
>you
>can imagine the feeling of many Jews towards Christianity. American
>Christians are not at all like Europeans.
>His family moved to the US while he was young. At age 13 he debuted at
>Carnegie Hall as a cantor. He had a beautiful, tenor voice. He received a
>very
>high education and became a rabbi. I met him in his later years in
>1978 after he had been on Ronald Reagan's staff in Sacramento as their
>research man. If there were any questions about any subject, he was the
>one that
>did the research and found the answers.
>He had a very negative attitude towards Christianity. He would never touch
>the New Testament. However, he knew the Jewish Old Testament (Torah)
>extremely well as a highly educated rabbi would. One day he got hold of a
>book called Patriarchs and Prophets by Ellen G. White. He read it with
>astonishment and wanted to know who this Ellen White was. That is when I
>met him. He
>was asking who is this Ellen G. White and what university did she attend.
>We
>told him she only had a 3rd grade education. "Then where did she learn
>Hebrew?" he asked. We told him that she never knew Hebrew, but was the
>most
>prolific female writer in history and that this was only one of her books.
>He was amazed at her knowledge, saying that the information in this book
>(Patriarchs and Prophets) is Mishnaic. The Mishnah is part of the Hebrew
>scholarship. He said the Mishnah had only been translated into English 30
>years ago
>and that only high-level rabbis knew this information. This is the history
>of
>my people and it is very, very accurate. He also said that you have to
>know
>Hebrew to be able to write like this because her sentence structure is not
>English, it's Hebrew. The rhythm the meter, the arrangement of words and
>expressions are not English. He said it's as if she wrote in Hebrew and it
>was
>translated into English.
>My family and I developed a strong friendship with Joe, his wife and son.
>As we studied the Bible and some Ellen White books together one day, he
>said, "I am convinced that Ellen White was inspired by the same source
>that
>inspired the Hebrew prophets. I want to become a Christian. I accept Jesus
>Christ
>as my Messiah." Now, he would not have come to Christ through reading the
>Bible. Even though the Hebrew Bible is full of prophecies pointing to the
>Messiah, it took Ellen White's writings to prove to him that Jesus Christ
>was the
>fulfillment of all the Hebrew prophecies. And only then did he pick up the
>New
>Testament and read about his Jewish Messiah.
>Many times I saw him cry. I was in the middle of a painting commission for
>a
>large mural called "Christ The Way of Life" for the world headquarters of
>the Seventh Day Adventist church in Washington DC. He became very involved
>with
>that painting. The painting had originally been inspired by James and
>Ellen
>White who had commissioned an engraver to do a black and white drawing of
>the
>subject. He confirmed to me that Ellen White's concept was very accurate
>on
>the whole plan of salvation in both the Old and New Testament, but that
>the
>engraver had misrepresented her concepts. So he helped me in many details
>to
>make the painting historically and theologically accurate; especially
>regarding the sanctuary section, the Hebrew writing on the cross and the
>last supper
>scene. He told me to paint Jesus and his disciples at an oriental style
>table, sitting on mats on the floor - not Roman couches as the medieval
>artists
>painted. Further, he said their heads would be covered and he made sure I
>painted the wine, the unleavened bread and the bitter herbs and their
>symbolism
>exactly as they would have been.
>He approved of the whole painting and we had an unveiling ceremony at the
>Auburn SDA church in late 1979. He had written a song to go with the
>painting
>and sat at the organ as we unveiled the painting. He wept as he sang the
>words
>of Jesus on the cross quoting Isaiah, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" He
>sang
>and sang and wept and wept, his whole body shaking.
>There was not a dry eye in the whole church. His voice was so beautiful.
>The original painting hangs in the new SDA world headquarters in Silver
>Spring, Maryland where they have posters and bible studies of the
>painting. I
>could never have done it without the inspiration of Rabbi Kagan and Ellen
>White.
>I wish they were still alive!
>We were at his secret baptism in the Bear River above Sacramento on
>Saturday
>night Dec 22 1979. There were four of us present. He could not even tell
>his
>wife and son that he was now a Christian. As he came up out of the cold
>water praising God and singing to his new Messiah, he said, "I am now a
>completed
>Jew. I have now accepted the Old and New Testament and the Messiah that
>all
>Jewish prophets told us about!"
>I was recently in Europe giving some workshops on art and some of my
>archeological work in the Middle East. I happened to meet a Jewish family
>from
>Israel. Shalom David was originally from Iraq and his wife from Chile.
>They were now attending a college in Europe where I met with quite a bit
>of
>opposition to the writings of Ellen White. This Jewish family invited me
>to
>their home for Shabbat (Friday night supper.) It was a most enjoyable
>occasion
>as his wife and beautiful children sang and celebrated the arrival of
>Sabbath as Jews have done for thousands of years. I told them the story of
>Rabbi
>Kagan and he got very excited. He said, "The same thing happened to me! I
>would
>have rather burned the bible then touch it! I wanted nothing to do with
>Christianity, but I also read the writings of Ellen White and the Spirit
>of God
>was on that woman. Her writings are as if she wrote in Hebrew.
>You can definitely hear the Hebrew rhythm, meter and expressions in her
>books. I also believe she was inspired by the same source as the Hebrew
>prophets.
>And she has helped me fall in love with Jesus Christ, my Messiah."
>I just met yesterday with a rabbi living here in California - Rabbi Ben.
>It was a follow up to a Sabbath meal I was invited to this last Sabbath
>with
>him and a group of Adventists. He went through the whole ceremony at the
>meal just like Rabbi Kagan and my new friend (Shalom David) in Europe had.
>So yesterday we were talking over Hebrew ceremonies and how they are still
>effective in healing disease.
>Rabbi Ben told me that he has also had the same experience. He hated the
>bible but that Ellen White brought him to Christ and helped him read the
>New
>Testament and fall in love with the Messiah. He also told me that he had
>gone to
>visit one of the most influential rabbis in America who is in his
>90s who must remain unnamed. While in this rabbi's library talking, he was
>scanning the many, many books on his walls and there he saw the book
>Patriarchs and Prophets by Ellen white. Rabbi Ben asked him about it and
>where he had
>gotten it, "Why do you have this book by a Christian author?"
>The rabbi said, "This as a very authoritative source on our history."
>I recently shared this testimony on T.V. at 3 Angels Broadcasting
>Network.
>My phone has been ringing day and night by interested people from as far
>away as India and Australia saying, "we want to know more about Joe Kagan
>and
>Ellen White."
>The book Patriarchs and Prophets can be found in any Adventist Book Center
>or at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists on old Columbia
>Pike,
>Silver Spring, Maryland. Posters of "Christ The Way of Life" can be found
>there. See it online at http://www.elfredleereligousart.com
