Q:

A:

We must not look only at the symbols
around a person, but what they teach and
how they live. Take Robert Schuller for
example. We don’t look only at the symbols
around him, but what he teaches. Robert
Schuller teaches Masonic doctrine. If you need
proof please watch the presentation That All
May Be One on amazingdiscoveries.tv.
There are some who say that since Ellen
White has an obelisk on her grave stone,
she must have been involved in the Masons. Our response
is simply this: Did Ellen White teach Masonic doctrine? The
obvious answer to that question is no! She constantly indicts Freemasons and secret societies in her writings. Each time she mentions
them, she indicates that those who belong to such orders will be
lost. In fact, that in and of itself validates her prophetic gift. Do Ellen
White’s statements make us think that she is a Freemason? No. Does
she recommend people become Freemasons? No. Check out her
thoughts on secret societies on page 16 of this newsletter. We can’t
assume she was a Mason or a Baal worshiper solely because she has
an obelisk on her grave. Obelisks were a standard for gravestones
during the time she lived. In fact, they were one of the cheaper
options. Read more about gravestone use in the US here: Association for Gravestone Studies (http://www.gravestonestudies.org/faq.
htm#Symbolism%20on%20Gravestones ) and more about the use
of obelisks as gravestones here: http://www.oldcem.bc.ca/gp_art_
m3.htm. Ellen White certainly had nothing to do with the obelisk on
her own grave.

In the 1800’s, obelisks were a very common grave marker.

We do not judge Ellen White, or anyone else for that matter, solely

Is Ellen G. White’s grave really an Egyptian obelisk? Also, she uses
the phrase “all-seeing eye” in her writings. The all-seeing eye is an
ancient pagan symbol and a Freemason symbol. Does this mean
that Ellen White was a Freemason and Baal worshiper?
on a symbol or sign that might be placed on their tomb or even on
certain terms or words they might use that may be associated with
Freemasonry. We judge them according to their theology. Ellen White’s
theology supports the Bible, and you can learn more about
that in our article here: http://amazingdiscoveries.org/Sprophecy-Ellen_White-Word-law.
When Ellen White used the phrase “all-seeing eye”, she
was not referring to the New Age or pagan symbol. God’s eye
does see everything, and that’s what she means by this statement. Don’t forget that Lucifer’s original and continuing plan
is to be “like the Most High.” He was the covering cherub;
he knows what God is like. So to be like Him, Lucifer would
want to use symbols that mimic God.
We must be careful about becoming overzealous about symbols. Symbols are useful, but the devil uses many innocent symbols that people
might use unknowingly simply because they exist. God made triangles,
circles, shells, and the colors red and purple. Just because the devil has
taken symbols over does not mean that we may never use them. As
Walter Veith once said, “I drive a VW which has a pagan symbol and I
use it to do the Lord’s work. The devil must really hate that.” 
It’s true that symbols can often point us to areas where something
isn’t right, or can help us see connections we couldn’t see otherwise.
So if we suspect something isn’t right based on the symbolism, it’s
important that we go deeper and explore the theology of the person
in question. But it’s at the theological level that we must determine the
soundness of a person’s message. 
There is a marked difference between Ellen White’s writings and
those of Albert Pike and others who write about Masonic doctrine.
