    Question 27: Did Ellen White forbid preachers to quote her in their sermons? (“The Words of the Bible and the Bible Alone, Should Be Heard From the Pulpit”)

    “The words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit” (Prophets and Kings, 626). Are Adventists really using that quotation to say that preachers can’t quote the Spirit of Prophecy in their sermons?101Q 72.1

    Though some may, indeed, be using this statement for that purpose, that doesn’t mean they’re right. Taking the statement as forbidding the use of Mrs. White’s writings from the pulpit would also forbid the use of the preacher’s own words, wouldn’t it? Likewise, it would forbid the use of any other writer’s words, since “the words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit.” We could do worse than just reading Scripture from the pulpit, but clearly this is not what Mrs. White meant by that statement. Rather, she was contrasting the presentation of Bible truth with human opinions.101Q 72.2
