Ellen White
Ellen white Witch craft
Ellen White was fully-invested in the occult. That her spirit guide gave her a green cord to summons him is indisputable and highly-significant to this analysis:
"My guide now opened the door, and we both passed out. He bade me take up again all the things I had left without. This done, he handed me a green cord coiled up closely."

That a green cord or "cingulum" is a common tool of white witchcraft is demonstrated by the four separate entries from comprehensive Encyclopedias of the occult and witchcraft shown below.
Furthermore, Adventism - in direct opposition to Christianity and the Bible, both of which insist that Jesus Christ is our sin-bearer - argues that Satan is the sin-bearer:
"It was seen, also, that while the sin-offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scape-goat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed. When the high priest, by virtue of the blood of the sin-offering, removed the sins from the sanctuary, he placed them upon the scape-goat. When Christ, by virtue of his own blood, removes the sins of his people from the heavenly sanctuary at the close of his ministration, he will place them upon Satan, who, in the execution of the judgment, must bear the final penalty. The scape-goat was sent away into a land not inhabited, never to come again into the congregation of Israel. So will Satan be forever banished from the presence of God and his people, and he will be blotted from existence in the final destruction of sin and sinners."

The He-goat is an important part of satanic/occult worship and clearly ensorses the idea that Satan is the sin-bearer:
"The ugly beast’s head expresses the horror of the sinner, whose materially acting, solely responsible part has to bear the punishment exclusively; because the soul is insensitive according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes."

Virtually all of the pagan and occultic religions feature a "horned goat from the wilderness" as their central symbol that is worshiped:
"Fojr Wiccans, the Horned God is "the personification of the life force energy in animals and the wild" and is associated with the wilderness, virility and the hunt. Doreen Valiente writes that the Horned God also carries the souls of the dead to the underworld."

Ellen White's writings are sprinkled with occultic terms such as "life force energy" and "vital forces" and so forth:

Ellen White's insistence on vegetarianism as vital to spirituality was shared by her fellow 19th Century spirit medium, Satanist Madame Blavatsky. 1 Timothy 4 denounces this as "Doctrines of Demons:"

Saturday - which has been proven over and over again is not the Biblical Sabbath; but has evolved into the central Adventist doctrine, is simply beyond any reasonable dispute. Ellen was "shown" by her spirit guide that the Sabbath is the only commandment with a halo around it. Similarly, Wicca Witchcraft emphasizes the Witches' Sabbath as the occult's gold-standard of time worship, and the time when the Satanic He-Goat apparition frequently-appears:

Why did Satan sin?
Pride (Proverbs 16:18). Satan’s original name was Lucifer. He was the Guardian cherub in Eden (Ezekiel 28:14). He wore precious stones. He took notice of his beauty (Ezekiel 28:17). Seeing how beautiful he was, his pride took over, and he tried to replace God (Isaiah 14:13). Apparently, the angels had a freewill back then. Satan chose to sin. He got one-third of the other angels to follow him (Revelation 12:4). They all sinned and will face some dire consequences (Matthew 25:41).
Mankind also has free will. He can choose God or Satan. If he chooses God eternal life awaits him (John 3:16). If he chooses the world the same fate awaits him as Satan and the fallen angels (Galatians 5:19-21). It is pride that keeps people from inheriting eternal life.

Sugar skulls
The origin of sugar skulls goes all the way back to a time when the skull was a predominant figure in Mesoamerican societies (1500 B.C. until 1521 A.D.) in various depictions. One depiction was tzompantli, which was a wooden rack where the skulls of prisoners of war and human sacrifices were displayed. The tzompantli could also be an altar depicting the journey to the spiritual world. These civilizations believed in spiritual life after death. The skulls were offered to the god of the underworld, Mictlantecuhtli. They were then assured safe passage to the underworld. Aztec mythology says that he ruled Mictlan, which is the lowest northernmost point in the underworld. It is not uncommon to find sugar skulls made with Mictlantecuhtlis face on them.
When the Spanish brought their religion, the traditions were then lost. Part of them was kept alive by maintaining the figure of a skull in a piece of candy-colored and decorated.

Lawn jockey
TODAY'S HISTORY LESSON: THE BLACK LAWN JOCKEY (footman).
These days people don't know the real meaning behind these statues, so they vandalize them, & THINK of them as racist, etc. The history of the black 'footman' with a lantern is the exact opposite. Its meaning signified that the home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. These were largely a northern thing, and weren't commonly found in the South until after WWII when northerners moved there and brought this custom with them. The clothing of the statue was also coded. A striped jockey's shirt meant that this was a place to swap horses, while a footman in a tailed coat meant overnight lodging and/or food, and a blue sailor's waist coat meant the homeowner could take you to a port and get you on a ship to Canada. Later, these came back into popularity after WWII, and they were again coded. Mostly to show that the white homeowners supported early civil rights efforts, and were NOT Klan members, etc. These statues are something we should be proud of because they led a lot of our ancestors to their freedom and they also represent the bravery and support of the homeowner's that risked their homes, themselves, & their families for the struggle of freedom and equality.

Sin nature, soul, salvation, repentance
To answer your first question: God gave Adam and Eve a choice to serve God willingly or to reject Him. In Genesis 2:17 God made it clear that Adam and Eve were not to eat the fruit of the tree or they would surely die. Because of Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, this caused Adam’s sin nature and death to be passed down through all generations since.
The answer to your second question is yes, the soul is immortal and Hell is real (Psalm 22:26; 23:6; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25:46 and 1 Corinthians 15:12-19). Daniel 12:2 tells us that “And many of them who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”.
You also asked why we repent if Christ saves us. 1st John 1:9 says ” If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. Though believers are forgiven at the point of salvation, there is also an ongoing sense in which believers need to confess sin and experience forgiveness and cleansing. Cleansing was an important part of the Mosaic Law, mentioned some 14 times in the book of Leviticus alone. It was the goal of those who brought a sacrifice to the Lord in the tabernacle and temple.
When we have an argument with others, it creates a barrier to fellowship. Since a barrier between us and God will always be our fault, our need for confession is important for our relationship to God. You should not wait to repent. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says (For he saith. I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation I have succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation). Repentance is making a complete change toward God. That is not earning salvation. That is changing your mind about your eternal destination. You cannot be saved if you do not repent. The only time it is too late to be forgiven of your sins is when you reach the point of death (Hebrews 9:27).
You asked if it was possible to sell your soul. There is nothing in the Bible that implies a person can sell their soul. There is nothing in the Bible that even implies that it is possible to bargain with the Devil.
God or family
Matthew 10:37 says, “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
We cannot side with our family against God. It is not important to be in total agreement with the family, but it is important to be in agreement with God.

Prayer and frustration
God understands our emotions because He gave them to us. The Bible tells us to rejoice and pray without ceasing because that pleases God (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV). Romans 8:26-27 tells us that the Spirit helps us with our weaknesses because we do not know how to pray as we should. We are to always pray. We all must learn to pray in faith for the things God has promised. Receive by faith whatever God gives be it a yes or no answer. If you do this frustration will change to trust.
