Looks like EGW didn't have a corner on the prophetic plagerism market: http://www.exmormon.org/mormon/mormon315.htm | ||

Ha! It's just all so familiar...as a friend of ours who does a lot of outreach to cults and cult members says, "They [the cults] all have the same chairman of the board." Colleen | ||

So ok lets say "borrowing" (viz., plagerism) was "usual" then fine. Since the words were borrowed, why don't Adventists venerate the original writer of what was borrowed. Afterall if the angel only showed her what to copy, the inspiration is really still in the original manuscript and author. In religion class, I copied many things from Scripture and EGW, to complete assignments. I got "F's"--not really--but my papers were never inspired nor was I. If I claimed that they were my originals I would have been expelled. Nice example for a church leader right? I'd like to have seen what would have happened had I claimed "divine inspiration" instead of a mea culpa for that type of academic offense. This one's nothing more that Adventist rationalization or folklore. (Message edited by Wiredog on October 27, 2010) |
