Ellen White's Study on Christ's Self-Existence

Historical Account★★★★

When Ellen White wrote ‘Desire of Ages’, the statement ‘in Christ’s life original, unborrowed, underrived’ came as a shock to many. A well-known evangelist and theologian named M.L. Andreasen was convinced that someone else had written it and penciled it into the manuscript. However, after spending three months with Ellen White examining her writings, he found numerous instances where she used this phraseology in letters from 1896 to 1914. Andreasen concluded that Ellen White indeed believed in Christ having no beginning.

The point

M.L. Andreasen spent three months examining Ellen White's writings and concluded that she believed in Christ having no beginning, as evidenced by her consistent use of the phrase 'original, unborrowed, underrived'.
