As some may be aware, a new fanaticism regarding SPICES has arrived wherein those promoting it are claiming Ellen White agrees with it when in fact there is nothing in all her writings supporting such claims. The "pledge" they claim backs their message, wherein they actually claim came from Ellen White's pen has been confirmed to be untrue in a detailed study located here.

ALSO NOTE the following Biblical facts regarding SPICES.

What do you classify “cumin” as? A spice?

Look at Matthew 23:23 then cross reference to Luke 11:42 (herbs/“spices”).  And go to Gen 1:29

• Mat 23:23: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
• Luk 11:42: "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
• Gen 1:29: "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
• Psalms 104:14: “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;”

Now see Romans 14:13-23 when it comes to fanaticism of food...

• Romans 14:13-23, "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.  (14)  I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.  (15)  But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.  (16)  Let not then your good be evil spoken of:  (17)  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  (18)  For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.  (19)  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.  (20)  For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.  (21)  It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.  (22)  Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.  (23)  And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."

NOTE:

Some exSDR members that have never been ordained of God are now claiming those that are ordained of God to be in error by using twisted and fabricated EGW writings regarding SPICES. This is regardless of the fact that for over a year the leaders in the SDR movement did all they could to help them see their error. Pray for them as this is proof there is sin in their camp causing them to be blind to their fanaticims. (See this study to confirm) As the Lord has done before He is about to do again and their sin will soon be revealed to all. That being said, how dangerous is it to join with people that attack God's ordained ministers?

"Christ and His church are inseparable. To neglect or despise those whom God has appointed to lead out and to bear the responsibilities connected with His work and with the advancement and spread of the truth is to reject the means which God has ordained for the help, encouragement, and strength of His people. To pass these by and think your light must come through no other channel than directly from God places you in a position where you are liable to deception and to be overthrown."  {3T 418.4}  

"It is hardly possible for men to offer a greater insult to God than to despise and reject the instrumentalities that He has appointed to lead them." {3T 355.2}

"The people should not regard their ministers as mere public speakers and orators, but as Christ's ambassadors, receiving their wisdom and power from the great Head of the church. To slight and disregard the word spoken by Christ's representative is not only showing disrespect to the man, but also to the Master who has sent him. He is in Christ's stead; and the voice of the Saviour should be heard in His representative."  {4T 393.2}  

DANGER: THEY TWIST SOP!

Because there are no Scriptures to prove "spices" to be bad, some choose to twist Sister White writings. Here's documented proof some poor souls have chosen to lie about what Sister White said on their spices theology:

ALSO NOTICE:
Some claim Sister White said ginger and cayenne are never to be consumed, yet she never said this:

“I had an ill turn that night. The wind came up while we were searching for a place to rest. I think I took cold. I was in such severe pain I called for cayenne pepper and obtained some relief, but the same kind of a cold I had when at San Diego was upon me.” 20LtMs, Lt353, 1905, par. 3, August 27, 1905 

"We have just finished breakfast. It is now five minutes past eight o'clock. We are about ten miles from Laramie. We shall not be able to make way with our provisions. Sara bought a bottle of milk and some warm water this morning. I put ginger in it and it went well."--Letter 22, 1883, pp. 1-3. (To W. C. and Mary White.)
