What do you think about the following quotes?

1) "The Warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought."

2) "The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian."

3) "The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love. The children of God are to manifest His glory. In their own life and character they are to reveal what the grace of God has done for them."

4) "The closer you come to Jesus, the more faulty you will appear in your own eyes; for your vision will be clearer, and your imperfections will be seen in broad and distinct contrast to His perfect nature."

5) "None are so sinful that they cannot find strength, purity, and righteousness in Jesus, who died for them."

6) "God takes men as they are, with the human elements in their

character, and trains them for His service, if they will be disciplined

and learn of Him. They are not chosen because they are perfect, but notwithstanding their imperfections, that through the knowledge and practice of the truth, through the grace of Christ, they may become transformed into His image."

7) "All true obedience comes from the heart. It was heart work with Christ. And if we consent, He will so identify Himself with our thoughts and aims, so blend our hearts and minds into conformity to His will, that when obeying Him we shall be but carrying out our own impulses. The will, refined and sanctified, will find its highest delight in doing His service. When we know God as it is our privilege to know Him, our life will be a life of continual obedience. Through an appreciation of the character of Christ, through communion with God, sin will become hateful to us."

8) "Know and believe the love that God has to us, and you are secure; that love is a fortress impregnable to all the delusions and assaults of Satan."

9) "God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led, if they could see the end from the beginning and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him."

10) "Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet."

    Is this Ellen White? There is power in all of the above quotes.

    1) Wrong - It is not 'welfare' as is said by the Labour Officers. Self-sufficiency is the highest status of independence. Welfare means only contribution to better status. And welfare against self - is not at all acceptable to any ethics.

    2) Love would not replace argument . Argument is a simple childish behaviour, but not love. Loving and lovable need not to be in favour of any gospel - it is humane.

    3) Yesterday's children of God are today's terrorists.

    4) Don't you mean not to be too close to Jesus for not to appear faulty in MY OWN eyes.

    5) . Mr. Idi Ameen also died for us. Saddam Hussain died for us. In the Epics - Odyssi died, Ravan died, M.K.Gandhi, Aby Lincoln, and innumerable. All these died for us. So if Jesus died for us, why he lived up to 39 years, he could have done it earlier.

    6) True and reliable quote,

    7) The difference of heart and mind - physical parts can work with Christ

    8) ".....impregnable to all the delusions." Stop, That is enough. Don't remind about evils. (pessimistic view)

    9) & 10 - can not make out - seems to be personal involvement

    1) Good quote.

    2-10) They deny all factual evidence in general, and are nowhere near as good as the first quote.
