does mladreasen vindication in https://winelfredpasamba.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-lastfinal-generation-annotated.html agree with egw's vindication at https://winelfredpasamba.blogspot.com/2025/03/vindicators.html ? Short answer: Yes — broadly, but with a difference in emphasis. Why: M. L. Andreasen’s piece (the December 13, 2024 post) centers the last-generation demonstration as the decisive way God is vindicated — it repeatedly says the final generation will fully demonstrate God’s power to save and thus “His government will stand vindicated,” and that “They will demonstrate that it is possible to live without sin.” ( winelfredpasamba.blogspot.com ) Ellen G. White (the “VINDICATORS” post, March 14, 2025) explicitly lists the last-generation demonstration as one of several ways God’s character is vindicated — but she also names other vindications (by the church, by Jesus, by praise, by the extermination of sin, etc.). In other words, EGW’s corpus includes the same last-generatio...

  Here is guidance on how to approach individuals who twist truth, insult, lie, and are prejudiced against the truth, drawing from the King James Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White: Regarding those who are  perverse  in their disputings, have  corrupt minds , and are  destitute of the truth , it is advised to "from such withdraw thyself"  <1 Timothy 6:5> . Similarly, one should "Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge"  <Proverbs 14:7> , as "reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee"  <Proverbs 9:8> . The Scriptures describe the nature of those who  deal falsely  or  lie . "They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly"  <Psalms 62:4> . Such individuals "trust in lying words, that cannot profit"  <Jeremiah 7:8> , and their "tongue is as an arrow shot ou...

  That is an insightful observation. The complexity you are describing highlights the fundamental differences between formal systems like mathematics and human reasoning about the real world. The primary reason people don't agree on reasoning is that real-world situations lack the precise, universally agreed-upon foundations that mathematics possesses.   Here’s why reasoning is different from math: 1. Ambiguity vs. Precision Mathematics works because its components are defined with absolute precision:   Math:  An operator like  +  always means addition, and every culture uses the same rules of precedence (PEMDAS/BODMAS). A  triangle  has a non-negotiable definition (a polygon with three edges and three vertices). These definitions leave no room for interpretation. Reasoning:  Concepts used in everyday arguments are inherently ambiguous. What is "fair," "just," "good policy," or "ethical"? The definitions of these words are subjective and cont...
