Chapter two - Ángel M. Rodríguez 45Rodríguez says: (see Appendix E)“But perhaps what is more important is that we hardly find in the Biblea person who was eager to be a prophet. When called to the propheticministry those persons were not initially delighted. Very often their firstreaction was to resist the divine call. This was also the case with Ellen G.White.”God says:Isaiah 6:8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, andwho will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.FactThe fact that Elder Rodríguez admits that we hardly find anyone in the Bibleshows that there were at least some people who were willing to be a prophet ofGod. Because most prophets were not willing, does not set a precedent that allprophets/messengers of God will not be eager to respond to do His bidding.SummationSince Ernie Knoll has never claimed he wanted to be a prophet, and since atleast one prophet in the Bible was eager for the job, Elder Rodríguez’sargument is not true.ConclusionAgain Elder Rodríguez is attempting to cast doubt on Ernie’s dreams bydeclaring that prophets are rarely eager to be prophets, even though Ernie hasnever said he was eager to be a prophet. The premise for this argument isbased on a half-truth that is not scriptural.Rodríguez says: (see Appendix E)“This interest in being a prophet may have had some psychologicalimpact on his experiences.”FactErnie Knoll is no different than anyone who desires God to speak with them. Henever cherished in his heart to be a prophet.SummationThis is nothing more than character assassination. Elder Rodríguez must beable to support the accusation, otherwise he stands as one spreading falserumors or gossip.ConclusionThose who attack Ellen White’s ministry often resort to the accusation that shesuffered psychological problems. Is Elder Rodríguez doing the same bydiscrediting Ernie Knoll’s dreams?Are the dreams significant for the Church?Rodríguez says: (see Appendix E)“Second, his dreams deal with different topics but are not of deepsignificance for the church. A number of them are about his ministry andserve to encourage him to continue to do what he is doing. In others hedeals with the health message, worship, the Lord’s Supper, the coming ofdestruction, and the need for reformation in the church—he particularlymentions the Adventist Book Centers.”
