What Ellen G. White writes in her books, is to be believed as truth from God's throne by Seventh-day Adventist Church members. She says that, "Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty."

"There is no one who can explain the mystery of the incarnation of Christ. Yet we know that He came to this earth and lived as a man among men. The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty, yet Christ and the Father are one. The Deity did not sink under the agonizing torture of Calvary, yet it is nonetheless true that "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p. 1129-1130

Jesus "did not cease to be God when He became man," and "that Christ and the Father are one," which are true statements about the deity of God. It is also true that the Father is the Lord God Almighty, but it is a false statement to say, "that Jesus is not the Lord God Almighty."

Why would God give Ellen a false statement about himself? The truth is that God did not reveal this, as God does not lie. The answer simply is this, Ellen G. White is a false prophet.

What does Almighty mean, and does the definition apply to Christ?

From the Greek Almighty means,

3841. pantokrator, pan-tok-rat'-ore; from G3956 and G2904; the all-ruling, i.e. God (as absolute and universal sovereign): -- Almighty, Omnipotent. Strong's Dictionary

We then can say yes, this definition describes Christ as all-ruling, Almighty and Omnipotent.

Does the Bible tell us that Christ to be called the Mighty God? Yes.

(Isaiah 9:6 NIV) "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah tells us that Jesus is to be called the Mighty God. God in Hebrew means, 410. 'el, ale; short. from H352; strength; as adj. mighty; espec. the Almighty deity, power, strong. Comp. names in "-el." Strong's Dictionary

This definition describes Jesus. We find the definition Almighty, meaning Omnipotent, and God, as meaning Almighty deity. On this evidence alone Jesus can be called Almighty God.

Does Jesus call himself the Lord God Almighty? Yes

Revelation 1:7 (NIV) "Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen."

(Revelation 1:8 NIV) ""I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Who is coming in the clouds? Verse 7, the one who was pierced. Jesus.

What is His name? Verse 8, the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord God, the Almighty.

(Revelation 22:12 NIV) "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done."

(Revelation 22:13 NIV) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

(Matthew 16:27 NIV) "For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done."

(Revelation 22:20 NIV) "He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."

Who is coming soon? the Lord Jesus. Compare Revelation 22: 12,13 as the Alpha and Omega.

Because of the authority given Ellen G. White by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, many that read her statement that "the man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty" will regard it as truth. What does this false statement do to the deity of Christ? It says that the Father and Son are not really equal in their deity and that the Father is the Lord God Almighty and Christ is somewhat of a lesser God.

This is very similar to the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses who believe that Jesus Christ is not God equal to the Father, and regard Him as just "a god " (with a small g). This is found in their New World Translation of John 1:1.The Wittiness also believe that Jesus is a mighty god and Jehovah is the Lord God Almighty. This gives Ellen G. White, the SDA Church and the Jehovah's Witness two Gods, one that is Almighty and one that is not as Almighty.

The Truth

• Jesus Christ is called the Lord God Almighty, and the Alpha and Omega, Revelation 1:8, the same as the Father is called the Lord God Almighty and the Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 21:5-6)
• Almighty applies to Christ, from the Greek word "pantokrator," which means all-ruling, Almighty, Omnipotent.
• The Savior is equal to the Father, (Colossians 2:9 NIV) "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,"
• God bless you as you lift up Jesus to His full deity as the Lord God Almighty.
