Mrs. White claims that those who are raised from the dead at the first resurrection, would spend 1000 years, initially, with Christ in Heaven, during which time, this earth would be desolate and become the home of Satan and his angels for 1000 years (early writings, pg. 290).

Would GOD the Father contradict Jesus' statement of Mark 13:32, and tell Mrs. White the day and the hour of Jesus' second coming?

Can we believe Mrs. White who claimed on pages 127 and 151 of her book "The Early Writings", that GOD had a struggle to send Jesus to earth, to die for the sins of humanity ? or should we believe John 3:16?

What purpose does the law serve today?

What status did its beneficiaries enjoy?

To what and why was the law added?

The fact that the New Testament believer's allegiance must be to the doctrines of the better or superior covenant of the grace of GOD, and not to those of the old covenant, called the law, is seen by studying Hebrews chapters one, two and eight, through ten, accordingly.

Because of  what GOD has done for us In Christ, as described in Proof No. 1; to walk uprightly , therefore, Is to walk according to the truth of the gospel (Gal 2:14), and NOT according to the dictates of the Law, even the First covenant, from which we were delivered (Rom 7:6).

In light of the superiority of the new and better covenant of the grace of GOD (Heb. 8:6-7), over the old covenant called the  Law of GOD (Deut 4:13; 2 Chron 33:8), New Testament believers' allegiance must inevitably be to Christ and his new testament directives, instead of to old testament ones, which, although were appropriate for old testament times, are, in many instances, unsuited for the new testament believer in Jesus Christ.

In addition to the previous reasons, the superiority of the grace of GOD over the law of GOD is surely established by the following text:"....But after that FAITH is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Gal. 3:25).
