Does a case of precognition prove God?
Hello. I already posted here about something similar with Ellen White. You know the claim that she was not breathing for several hours. But this isn't my main concern, as others had the same powers at the time (weird things were happening in America then), at least according to Ronald L. Numbers and u/testtheprophet. I'm still a misotheist. (I believe in God, but I hate him.) Today I'd like to discuss an apparent case of precognition from Ellen White. and see if any of you can debunk it. it is about the Salamanca experience. in the early morning of March 4 (if I'm not mistaken), Ellen White showed up, accompanied by her son, to a meeting of the American Sentinel editors and told them she had a vision of them in the night before. in a meeting where they discussed dropping the sabbath issue from the magazine. she said that she had this vision in Salamanca, New York. five months before. and if anyone wanted to check it, they could simply see her diaries and manuscripts to prove that she had this vision. now her son willie was in the meeting where they discussed dropping the Sabbath on March 3. and some of the entries in her diaries discussing the matter seem misdated. but there is a manuscript dated to November 4, 1890 (four months before the meeting where the Sabbath issue was discussed). this manuscript seems to indicate that she knew what was going to happen in the magazine before it actually did. i know what some of you are thinking: she was informed there was a leak. but if that were the case, why didn't Albion f ballengher , one of the editors of the American Sentinel magazine who later turned against the church, simply say so after he left? He specifically made a magazine to debunk Ellen White's paranormal claims. and she used the Salamanca experience against him. He had every incentive to reveal that the discussion had been ongoing for some time and that someone could have informed her. but he didn't. Why? For me, that pretty much buries the "someone informed her" claim. how to explain this manuscript if not for precognition of the events that were being discussed at the magazine? can somebody help me with this?
