 Even during Ellen White's lifetime Adventists had different views regarding the nature of her prophetic ministry.She corrected both people who downplayed her writings, and those who elevated them too highly.She rebuked both those who downplayed or rejected her writings, such as A. T. Jones and also those who elevated her writings too high, such as Dr. D. Paulson (see above) During her life she constantly fought for her followers to focus on Scripture, and not to use her writings as the arbiter of truth.
