Chapter one - G. Edward Reid, Tithe, and the Storehouse 13ExceptionManuscript Releases, Vol. 1, p. 191There are exceptional cases, where poverty is so deep that in order tosecure the humblest place of worship, it may be necessary to appropriatethe tithes.Reid casts doubtReid says: (see Appendix A)“Recently several people have brought to my attention the ‘dreams’ ofone, Ernie Knoll. He claims to be a Seventh-day Adventist who is beinggiven dreams from God about the condition of the church and what iscoming on the earth.”FactsElder Reid has the ability to know who is a member of the Seventh-dayAdventist Church. Therefore, because he insinuated that Ernie claims to be aSeventh-day Adventist, he cast doubt on the fact that Ernie was a member.Even if individuals are disfellowshipped, this does not automatically make themnon-SDAs in God’s estimation.God says:Gospel Workers (1892), p. 446Church membership will not guarantee us heaven.ConclusionOne can easily see that Elder Reid used a tactic to cast doubt as to the validityof whether Ernie is a Seventh-day Adventist. He begins early on to lay afoundation of doubt in his plan to discredit Ernie.Footnoted dreamsReid says: (see Appendix A)“I have never seen footnoted dreams before . . . .”ExplanationAgain, Elder Reid uses his position to cast doubt. Because he has never seenfootnoted dreams before, does that mean they do not exist? No. They do exist.Ernie’s dreams contain footnotes to get the readers started with their ownresearch of God’s words. Ernie could have added many additional references,but individuals need to find their own with the Holy Spirit’s help. There are alsocases where some individuals do not have access to these references.Footnotes were also added to help explain parts of the dreams. Ellen Whitegave Bible references in her writings. God’s truth always agrees with itself.Isaiah 28:10 says, “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” Ernie’s dreams alsocontain Bible and Spirit of Prophecy (writings of Ellen G. White) in the dreamsthemselves. These came directly from the Lord during the dreams.Kingly power?Because Elder Reid is writing to all pastors in the North American Divisiondeclaring Ernie to be a false prophet, is he using “kingly power” to dictate whatthose pastors are to believe?
