Edson White and the Trinity

Like his father, Edson though definitely non-trinitarian, rarely mentioned the subject. He made two passing statements in two of his twelve published books
"The angels, therefore, are created beings, necessarily of a lower order than their Creator. Christ is the only being begotten of the Father." {J. E. White, Past, Present and Future, p. 52. 1909}
"Only one being in the universe besides the Father bears the name of God, and that is His Son, Jesus Christ." {J. E. White, The Coming King, p. 33}

He believes that Christ is begotten of the Father, a literal Son. I and the mainline SDA Church would disagree with him on this.

He also believed that Jesus is God. We can all agree with this, as would any trinitarian.

Once again as with his father, the paucity of non-trinitarian material, indicates that he considered this a subject of little importance at the present. Neither did he promote the doctrine to the generally trinitarian public. Both books quoted were subsciption books which enjoyed sales in the hundreds of thousands, perfect opportunities for spruiking non-trinitarianism, but he chose not to do so.

We can debate why Edson didn't promote his beliefs on the Godhead, but his example is one that we can all follow, which is to hold your beliefs on Godhead quietly and promote the pillars of the church especially the soon-coming Saviour.

If present-day antitrinitarians were to follow Edson's example they would publicly mention, just once or twice in their life, their views on the Sonship of Christ.
