This document discusses guidelines for food preparation and consumption on Sabbath based on Ellen White's counsel. It addresses four key points:
1) All cooking should be done on Friday, and reheating food is acceptable on Sabbath. Hot drinks like water or gruel are allowed when camping.
2) In winter, food cooked on Friday can be warmed before eating on Sabbath.
3) Extra labor to care for the sick on Sabbath is permitted as a necessity.
4) Ellen White's statements on eating warm foods in the morning and minimizing labor in sanitariums on Sabbath have been taken out of context and misapplied to allow cooking on Sabb

Sabbath cooking v2
1. ¡°All cooking should be done on Friday¡±
¡°On the camp-ground, when the mornings are cool, hot water or hot gruel should be provided.¡±
¡°In winter, at our homes, the food previously cooked should be warmed before it is eaten. ¡°
¡°In warm weather this is unnecessary. ¡°
¡°Divine mercy has directed that the sick and suffering should be cared for; the labor required to do this is a
work of necessity, and no violation of the Sabbath¡±
Let us answer all these queries one by one if it really does align to the proper interpretation.
FIRST:
¡°On the camp-ground, when the mornings are cool, hot water or hot gruel should be provided.¡±
Bore in Mind:
1) Cooking should be done on Friday (not Saturday)
2) On the camp-ground, when the mornings are cool (camp-ground)
The options are:
1) hot water (already seethe on Friday)
2) hot gruel (cereal - oat) ¨C cereal or oath can be cooked by pouring of hot water seethe on Friday ¡
AGAIN no cooking involved..
REMEMBER this instruction is when we are in a camp-ground or camp meetings and etc¡
SECOND:
¡°In winter, at our homes, the food previously cooked should be WARMED before it is eaten. ¡°
Bore in Mind:
1) In winter place FOOD cooked on FRIDAY ¡®REHEATING / PAINITIN¡¯ is allowed.
2) Nothing here stated we are allowed to COOK
THIRD:
¡°In warm weather this is unnecessary. ¡°
Bore in Mind:
1) The second instruction is NOT APPLICABLE for warm weather such as Philippines. (No cooking is allow
in our placed in short)
FOURTH:
¡°Divine mercy has directed that the sick and suffering should be cared for; the labor required to do this is a
work of necessity, and no violation of the Sabbath¡±
3) There is no problem here since this is emergency circumstances and doing GOOD upon the Sabbath is
acceptable unto good¡(cooking instance)
2. Bore in Mind:
1) Labor / work on Sabbath WILL ONLY NOT VIOLATION [IF] you will care for the sick.
2) Labor / work on Sabbath NO FOR THE SICK is Violation to Fourth Commandment
¡°I would ADVISE all to take something warm into the stomach EVERY MORNING at least.¡± 2T 603
NOTE: This is an ADVISED of Sister White this is DIVINE PRINCIPLES.
This CUT quotation is deceiving if we don¡¯t read the entire NOT chapter. Regarding the quotation Sister White
did not mean for Sabbath, but for daily basis let us read the entire Paragraph of this chapter.
¡°I would advise all to take something warm into the stomach EVERY MORNING at least. You can do this
without much labor. You can make graham gruel. If the graham flour is too coarse, sift it, and while the gruel
is hot, add milk. This will make a most palatable and healthful dish for the campground¡¡±
To avoid getting lost you can read the entire chapter here:

IN SHORT: Quotation WRONGLY applied, we are talking about Sabbath COOKING not daily basis DO NOT
MISLEAD the people bro.
¡°GH April 1, 1898 paragraph 16 she said, "All needful preparation should be made beforehand. On the Sabbath
morning, IF(conditional statement) the weather is COOL(TUGNAW), LET HOT GRUEL OR SOMETHING EQUALLY
SIMPLE(LITTLE LABOR), BE PROVIDED, and for the dinner SOME KIND of food MAY BE WARMED. Further than
this, all cooking should be avoided as a violation of the Sabbath command.¡±
BORE IN MIND:
1) Needful preparation (all food cooked on Friday)
2) IF (conditional statement) the weather is COOL(TUGNAW)¡
The options:
- It can be hot water the PURPOSE is for good health
- Hot gruel (again it does not required cooking to prepare this food it can be cooked by pouring a hot
water)
- EQUALLY SIMPLE (LITTLE LABOR)??? Equally Simple doesn¡¯t mean LITTLE LABOR you¡¯re just making
this up!! stay on what is WRITTEN !!
3) And for the dinner SOME KIND of food MAY BE WARMED ¨C REHEATED no issue here.
3. ¡°AMOUNT OF LABOR BEING EXERTED..mao nga no wonder why ingon siya nga,¡±
¨C FALLACY this is not what she MEANS in that STATEMENT!!
Here is the complete quotation in the Chapter:
¡°In OUR SANITARIUMS the family of patients, with the physicians, nurses, and helpers, must be fed upon the
Sabbath, as any other family, with AS LITTLE LABOR AS POSSIBLE. But our restaurants should not be opened
on the Sabbath¡±
BORE IN MIND:
1) This quotation ¡°AS LITTLE LABOR AS POSSIBLE¡± is not applicable in Sabbath Cooking neither YOU CAN
read from ANY PREVIOUS QUOTATION stating ¡®LITTLE LABOR¡¯ it is just a total deception.
2) This quotation ¡°AS LITTLE LABOR AS POSSIBLE¡± is for OUR SANITARIUMS doctors, nurses, helpers are
the one¡¯s given this instruction.

SENSE.
