text: I am saddened by the many comments saying that the SDA church do not rely on Sola Scriptura and the many who bad mouthed EGW.  It makes me wonder if these good folks have read any of EGW's books.
  
  May I suggest a little exercise :
  
  a) Read Luke 11:1-13 where Jesus taught us the Lord's Prayer and where he went on to explain what the prayer involved.  Please read it slowly and maybe even 2-3 times to get the full import of what Jesus has to say.
  
  now, 
  
  b) Read D of A chapter 72 and MB chapter 6.  Again read it slowly to understand her commentary on what Jesus said in Lk 11.
  
  then, here is the final step,
  
  c) Reread Luke 11:1-13 again and see whether you now have a much expanded and deeper understanding of these 13 verses.   
  
  For me, I find that my understanding of the Bible is greatly improved and deepened having added SoP to my scriptural study.  
  
  I wish the same for you all.  God Bless.
