Ernie placed above us?Chapter Seven - Linda Kirk 301Linda Kirk says: (see Appendix L)“At our meeting, we remember someone asking you what kind ofmusic you listened to, and you responded, I really don’t like to listen toany music, because I’ve heard heavenly music, so any earthly music isnot appealing to me. This is certainly not helpful to the rest of us. It tendsto place you above us.”FactErnie’s dream says: “How wrong is it for us to bring the world’s popular type ofmusic into our body temple? How much worse is it for us to bring it into God'sholy temple?” In other words, just as we are not to listen to the world’s populartype of music in our worship services, we should also not listen to it the rest ofthe week. Would Linda place Ellen White above us because of what she said inthe following quotes?God says:Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 146I have been shown the order, the perfect order, of heaven, and havebeen enraptured as I listened to the perfect music there. After coming outof vision, the singing here has sounded very harsh and discordant. I haveseen companies of angels, who stood in a hollow square, everyone havinga harp of gold. At the end of the harp was an instrument to turn to set theharp or change the tunes. Their fingers did not sweep over the stringscarelessly, but they touched different strings to produce different sounds.There is one angel who always leads, who first touches the harp andstrikes the note, then all join in the rich, perfect music of heaven. Itcannot be described. It is melody, heavenly, divine, while from everycountenance beams the image of Jesus, shining with glory unspeakable.Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White, p. 98I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I couldnot bear the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then theangel said, "You must go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the144,000, shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewingthe handiwork of God."Early Writings, pp. 19-20I saw the fruit of the tree of life, the manna, almonds, figs,pomegranates, grapes, and many other kinds of fruit. I asked Jesus to letme eat of the fruit. He said, "Not now. Those who eat of the fruit of thisland go back to earth no more. But in a little while, if faithful, you shallboth eat of the fruit of the tree of life and drink of the water of thefountain." And He said, "You must go back to the earth again and relateto others what I have revealed to you." Then an angel bore me gentlydown to this dark world. Sometimes I think I can stay here no longer; allthings of earth look so dreary. I feel very lonely here, for I have seen abetter land. Oh, that I had wings like a dove, then would I fly away andbe at rest!
