The biggest factor is the misunderstanding of one of the people in the history of the church. People actually think that adventist worship a Bible Commentator named Ellen G. White . Some people have used the word prophet to describe her, though White never thought so and didn't like mis-context of the label. They hear the word prophet, and go 'oh boy' and slam a door before anyone hears any explaination. Again, it's a wrong-definition causing the communication barrier.
Many churches try to keep the commandments, but are often unaware that they have been altered .
Here is a fantastic prophecy that says that God will restore truth in the end time through a church which upholds His Law and manifests the gift of prophecy . The thought of a prophet , much less a woman prophet, really bends a lot of people backwards. What's a Prophet When most people think of a prophet they think of miracles blazzing from the fingertips. Or of someone foretelling future events and relating the true meaning of dreams. Well, that's one kind.
