The Collected Works of DM Canright

I began to see that at least some of my objections were not tenable, and that I myself was not right and in the light. I saw that I had put a wrong meaning on some things, and that other things were certainly true.

If these were true, then I had certainly been wrong all the way through. Then I felt how wrong, sinful, and in the dark I had been. My sins came up before me as never before in all my life. Like Job, I cried, 'Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. It was a complete reversion of all my feelings. Light and faith came into my soul, and I felt that God had given me another heart. I never felt such a change before, not even when first converted I believe it was directly from heaventhe work of the Spirit of God.

He wrote me several times, to which I made no answer. Finally he telegraphed me, paid my fare to a camp meeting. Here I met old friends and associations, tried to see things as favorable as possible, heard explanations, etc. I was sick of an undecided position. I thought I could do some good here anyway; all my friends were here; I believed much of the doctrine still, and I may go to ruin if I left them, etc.

Now I resolved to swallow all my doubts, believe the whole thing anyway, and stay with them for better or for worth. So I made a strong confession, of which I was ashamed before it was cold. It doesn't take much to figure this out. Three times Dudley Canright left off preaching and returned to his farm.

Speaking against the prophet Ellen G. What actually was it that D M Canright renounced? The New Testament calls the 10 Commandments the law of freedom [James 1: So when they speak of snares or yoke of Adventism, they actually mean GOD's sacred holy and spiritual law of morals [Romans 7: Canright claimed that the law is dead. But if someone tries to be free form the other partner, the law is in the way.

Reward Yourself

Now notice how fully Mr. Canright the Adventist answers Mr. Canright the Baptist before his defection: Of course this must have been done simply to get rid of the Sabbath, as the law would have been alright, but for that. Or, as some claim, the law was abolished at the cross, and re-enacted at Pentecost, which leaves an interregnum of fifty days without any law at all.

Where no law is, there is no transgression. D M Canright defected to a church that did not hold with his views, but because of it, they could use him against the Adventists with their 'Three Angels Messages' of Revelation 14, they did. How simple and plain is this doctrine, and how abundantly sustained by the Holy Bible.

All trinitarian creeds make the Holy Ghost a person, equal in Substance, power, eternity; and glory with the Father and Son. Thus they claim three' persons in the trinity, each one equal with both the others. If this be so, then the Holy Spirit is just as truly an, individual intelligent person as is the Father or the Son. But this we cannot believe. The Holy Spirit is not a person.

In all our prayers we naturally conceive of, God as a person, and of the Son as a person; but who ever conceivedof the Holy Ghost as 'being a person, standing there beside the Father and equal with him?

Such a conception never enters any one's mind. If you say that it does, we ask of What form is the' Holy Ghost? Is it like the Father and Son, in the form of a man? Again, the Father himself is said to be a spirit. Are there, then, two spirits, both divine, both God, both equal to each other, both alike? Then how is one different from the other? God is said to be a spirit ; and it is everywhere declared that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God. Is it then the spirit of a spirit What kind of spirit would that be?

Again, "God is a spirit. Now if the Holy Ghost is a distinct person from the Father, here are two spirits. Some point to DM Canright and have made false historical narrative. All Seventh day Adventists will agree in these things.

Now, where is the evidence that point to "special light" being the truthfulness of Trinity which early Adventists eventually accepted? When Canright and other pioneers continued to publish statements that went against it. Canright's own words, published in the following year contradicts the charge: The "special light" on the doctrine of the Trinity that Canright was speaking of was the light that revealed the falsity of trinity which caused the whole SDA church to unanimously reject it!

Furthermore, Canright's own account in his book, "Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" affirms that Seventh-day Adventists rejected the Trinity doctrine during this period in its church history: It's worth noting that Canright's charge that Seventh-day Adventists reject the trinity appears in the first edition and the earlier editions but was expunged from later editions of His book 6th edition above clearly shows the statement, "They reject the doctrine of the Trinity" on pg.

Wheeler's article in June, issue of the same magazine: As this article proves the document was used to defend against Canright's attacks. Yet if you study the actual history then you will see that the man who originally published it, M. Wilcox, did not even believe in it! He was actually not a trinitarian at all! This suggests that he published it as a sort of trump card to deflect all issues of criticism.

There really isn't a person more influential in the history of Seventh-day Adventist trinitarianism than Dudley Canright. This is while he was an Adventist and perhaps, even more so, after he was an Adventist. There are several key points to make here.

Angels are called sons of God, and so are righteous men; but Christ is his Son in a higher sense, in a closer relation, that either of these. He is truly and emphatically the "Son of God," the same as I am the son of my father. This will appear more plain as we proceed …. It is the only text in the Bible from which this idea can be drawn. If he is a created being, he cannot be worthy of worship of other created beings. Canright, RH June 18, This argument from Canright won the day and by the s this was the dominant view within Seventh-day Adventism - that Christ was begotten and this was NOT Him being a created being.

The quote in the op actually demonstrates that this was Canright's view. He viewed Personhood as meaning bodily form. Now Canright was a very forceful personality and he pushed his views very hard. However, on this particular aspect, he was wrong. Sister White very clearly asserted that the holy Spirit was a Person, albeit a mysterious one, and thus his view was incorrect. A better expression actually comes from J. Waggoner who wrote the following in his little work entitled "The Spirit of God".

It is that of the personality of the Spirit of God. Prevailing ideas of person are very diverse, often crude, and the word is differently understood; so that unity of opinion on this point cannot be expected until all shall be able to define precisely what they mean by the word, or until all shall agree upon one particular sense in which the word shall be used.
